Ing much more money that the fifty or more local,
some and business jobs carried on during last year.‘_
There were more homes built in Shelton lasti,
year than in any recent year, more improvement ofi
old homes, and more business building and new busi—
ness, than in many years past; all trends indicating
the loosening of private capital for use in permanent
investment. -
With this background the promise is good for an;
cz‘zal if not better building year ahead and move,
ment of renters to acquire homes of their own and;
to invest their own and borrowed money in real prop-
erty on the ground floor and getting ahead of more
costh building which is the future prospect.
if there were over fifty new homes or substan—ii
tial in’iprovements made during 1940, which did not;
seem lively year, Shelton can look forward to an
even livelier building year both in business and in'
homes; taking advantage of 1941 as the year of
Opportunity.
A VICIOUS SCARCITY
A policy of scarcity in any field of human en-,
deavor is vicious and suicidal, and it doesn’t help in
the slightest to camouflage it with a more euphon—
ious term. Scarcity means limitation of quantity, and
America is already learning that what is not cannot
be utilized. The immediate shortage is in skilled me-
chanical labor, and this country may go the way of
France due to that shortage; not necessarily, of1
course. because there are present today factors
which did not exist in the case of France. The Brit- ‘ . , , n. o, ‘_ .

An effort to improve commcrc-l standing, vitally needed in any.
ish empire may save us from our folly. Time may be
the element which permits us to get ready in four
or five years instead of two. The scarcity arises be-
cause there is a shortage of skilled mechanics and
also because of the policy of refusing to permit
those who are available to work to reasonable capac—

y America faces peril; yet union rules and fed!
eral laws limit production to 40 hours of normal!
employment per week. The wages and hours statute;
could fittingly be described as a law to prevent ade-l
quate defense by the people of the United Statesl
That is where the parallel comes between the Sltua-l
Lien here and that which prevailed in France andl
which led to the downfall of that government. The}
American people are taking the same road with:
apathy and ind1fference,
while selfish ambition
blocks the path toward security just as it did in
France. . 1‘
Labor refuses to yield an inch; it not only re-;
fuses negative cooperation; it is engaged in active‘
opposition. Strikes are being called, walkouts are!
DEARBORN, MICH. — He’s
gained in weight, this Michigan
boy. He and 129 other lads from
big city streets have averaged
a weight gain of 13 pounds by
working from spring to fall un-
der healthful conditions.
They have just got in another
harvest at Camps Legion and
Willow Run and are figuring;
up the profits on their season’s 3‘
work.
In these two camps Henry
Ford has been providing a spe- .
cial opportunity for a certain
group of under-privileged boys. ‘
These boys for the most part
are selected from applicants
who are the sons of men who
served our country in the army .
or navy during the last great
war. 111 health or death among
these veterans leaves their fam- ‘
ilies in difficult Circumstances.
Mr. Ford wanted to help
these families by giving boys
of 17, 18 and 19 years of age
belonging to them, an oppor-
tunity to make more of their
lives.
Ever since the frost left the
ground last April these lads
have been working two 320—

he provided for them. When
the last of the produce, is sold
there will be .apprdximatcly
$18,000 in earnings to be split
in equal shares among the 130
youths, the director of the
camps estimates. This will be
in addition to the two dollars
a day, plus food and lodging
each boy received throughout
‘ the season.
At camp the boys learn team—
work and self~rcliance. Each
camp is governed by the boys
themselves. They elect a camp
leader, keep their own books,
market their own produce
through roadside stands and
wholesale channels.
Now that the season has
ended. the boys are free to do
anything they wish, but they
are offered an opportunity to
enroll in the school system at
the Rouge plant, or to do plant
work at regular salaries.
In starting the camps, ‘Mr.
Ford acted in the belief that it
is up to business men and in.-
dustrialists to accept as a social
responsibility the problems

Will Try To Revise Law
Senator Robert T. McDonald of
Seattle has announced that he
will attempt at the next session
of the legislature to revise the
law which now makes it impos-
sible for state institutions to ex-
change students on a tuition~
trade basis.
The senator pointed out the

MORE PEOPLE PROVE GROWTH
Mason County’s population gain in the 19401
census was 1543, from 10,060 in 1930 to.11 603 in
1940; and Shelton’s gain in the same decade was 616,
from 3,097 in 1930 to 11,603 for 1940.
Exchange To Aid Commerce
President L. P. Sieg said that
he confident that such an,
exchange as proposed by Sena-
tor McDonald would prove of
value to all nations concerned.”
If the law is changed, the univer-
Isity will endeavor to take ad-
vantage of such an opportunity to
aid in the development of com-
merce of all types between the
nations of the Americas, he ad-
ded.
“This state, I believe. is on the
threshold of a development per-
iod that will surpass anything we
have known for many years,” Dr.
Sicg said, “With such advance-
ment, additional markets will be

years, and in improvement of old‘homes; all the more
pleasing because no government works have come to
Shelton and no future slump is in prospect.

are no vacant homes to meet the demand, 1941 is.

Congress is now in session and the President
has spoken more words of warning about the serious
national situation; while there are hints that some-
thing will be done about the “bottlenecks” which are
hampering full speed ahead in prepardedness.
