France. and England dallicd
at the outset, with only the Navy
as its full protector. Democra-
cies do not move so swiftly as
dictatorships, and this country
was talking about balancing the
budget until just before it com-
menced to throw out its billions.
Answering the question if Eng-
land can be invaded the speaker
explained the shore lines all
around the island, the shoals and
beaches and the difficulty of land-
ing large vessels except at ports,
and the danger of transporting in
small vessels across the channel,
the foggy nights. and the strong
defenses which England has set
up to greet any invader. This ex-
plains why Hitler has not made
the attempt, and the Navy still
controls the seas to protect Eng-
land.
Help Essential To Victory
To the question whether Eng-
land can win; without the enorv
imous aid from United States, he
lanswered “No.” But with the
Ihelp,'~ England is certain to win.
'and may find it possible to be-l
come the invader of France. NotI
in 1941, but maybe by 1943, The
defeat of Italy is one straw, stif-
fened Bulgaria, the defense of
Greece, the changed attitude of
the Balkans, Russia wariness, Jap-
’5 growing weakness, and the
unrest of French and other sub-
jugated peoples are all hopeful
signs The bombing, Mr. Bishop
concluded, is serious, but he points
out that there are twenty miles
of docks alone on the Thames as
well as hundreds in British ports,
and the losses so far inflicted
have not yet stopped supplies, or
weakened the morale of the peo-
ple; and with full American aid
no one questions the outcome.
There are many other points
which Mr. Bishop promises to en-
large upon at another time.

gram were cowboy songs by lit-

Gene Insel Bags
23 Hawks in 1940
As most good steries eventu-
ally do, this one finally leaked
out.
Gene Insel is the 1940 hawk
shooting champion of the Lake
Isabella Insel brothers, thanks
to a last-minute “rally” which
broke a tie with Brother Bill.
Seems that Gene up and pot-
ted a hawk just about dusk on
December 31, last,-giving him
24 hawks for the year against
Bill’s 23. Brothers Waldo and
Fred between them had nine
other hawks, for a year's total
of 54 in 1940.
The hawks must be learning
to keep out of range of the In-
sel brothers' guns, or maybe
there just aren’t as many hawks
since the lnsel brothers started
laying for them, but the fact
remains that during 1939 the
brothers bagged 15 hawks am-
ongst them.
Being champion hawk shooter
among the lnsel brothers has
,no reward other than the sat-
isfaction as there is no prize in
the contest.

Sim pson- Logging Co
Fifty years in one job or line
of employment or locale is quite
uncommon in restless American
life. and this is particularly true
in the West, so when one man re-
mains in the employment of one
concern from its inception through
its advances over a half century
this is so rare in community or
even'in national life as to be wor-
thy of a newspaper story.
January first of this year mark-
ed the fiftieth anniversary of the
first employment of Arthur B.
Govey with Sol. G. Simpson in the
logging camp on the Blakely Rail-
road. which has continued through
all the years with the Simpson
Logging Company as the oper-
ations continued and expanded to
become one of the largest logging
and milling concerns- of the North-
west of this day through the wis-
dom and good judgment of the
* founder, Sol. Simpson and his early
associates A. H. Anderson and
Mark Reed,
Historic Old Desk
Next in interest ill the affairs
of the Simpson Company is the
old desk behian which Mr. Govey
sits every day and over which has
passed much of the important de-
tail of the vast industry of which
he shares the responsibillty as
vice-president and director. This
old desk was acquired by the
company in its early days when
“headquarters” was at Matlock
and when its offices canto to Shel-
'ton back in 1903. Mr. Govey and
his desk were planted in the lit-
itle corner where both still hold
iforth with a modesty hardly in
ikecping with the importance of
,Wh'clt passes that way.
Naturally. as with those who
treasure old things and keepsakes,
and particularly old desks which
have more or less pleasant mem-
ories, besides the pile of old pa.
pers and treasures that none may
disturb or tidy up, there are
scores of clippings. books, and pic-
tures which date back to those
early days, and which can be dug
out on occasion to refresh mem-
ory and confute others who may
take issue in bits of old-time his-
tory which are within the mem-

l
Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Wilcox saw
the “usual” things in Los An-
gelcs and found them highly “un-
usual,” they related upon their
return to Shelton recently from a
three week vacation trip into the
south.
“We didn't attempt to do a
thing out of the ordinary," Mr.
Wilcox, proprietor of the Wilcox
5c and 10c store here, said yes-
terday, “and we found the usual
things in Los Angeles highly novel
to us.”
Mr. Wilcox spent some time
visiting the business erltablish-
merits in the several community
centers which comprise the out-
skirts of Los Angeles, particularly
in the Wiltshire district, and was
amazed at the distinctiveness,
moderness, attractiveness and un-
usualness of the stores. This he
found quite in contrast to the
stores in downtown Los Angeles,
which he said are no different
than the usual store of the North-
west.
Backdoor Popular Entrance
But progress certainly has
struck the suburban business dis-
tricts. One of the unique features
of these suburban stores the
Shelton businessman found to be
the “backdoor” entrance, which is
used by the greater part of the
trade. This, he said, is due to the
free parking lots maintained by
these stores at the rear of their
premises. so a great majority of

Native Londoner
Arthur B. Govey was born in
London, England, in 1871 and as
a young lad found his way to
America and soon to Mason Colin-
ty, Where in January of 1889 he
landed a job working in the log-
ging camp of Pete Peterson, a.
pioneer logger who was operating
an ox-team-cornp on the Blake-
ly Railroad at what is known as
Maxwell Hill. or Summit, There
he started at the bottom and
“greased” skids ahead of the ox-
en. rustled grub and made him-
self useful around the camp.
These were the real pioneer days
when camps were made up of
cock house, bunkhouse and ox
"hovel." the latter about as com~
fortablc as the men‘s quarters,
and log prices as well wages
were down to bedrock.
Other Old Timers
Mr. Govey gets another chuck—
lc out of the recollection of his
first meeting with “Billy” Parker,
who came with his parents to
“Blaker Y,” in 1889, as a lad
of nine, living, on the. Maxwell
ranch. still owned and occupied
by Joseph Maxwell. Young Go-
vey was greasing skids in his
first job for Pete Peterson, and
the “bull puncher” was Bill
Forbes, who can now be found
operating the boats and cabins at
Arcadia. The camp was near the
road, then as now, and G0ch saw
a barefoot boy trudging along
with a bucket and asked what he‘
had, getting the answer of “eggs.”
Now, hen fruit in those days
were not On the camp menu and
Arthur asked what he wanted for
them. "Billy's answer was that
his mother sent him to the store
at Elma. and expected to get a
dollar in trade. Arthur dug up
a big silver dollar, incidentally
the only one he had or perhaps
there was in the whole camp, and
dickered for the eggs, but it was

the patrons thus are encouraged
to drive in to do their shopping.
A sister and her husband of
Mrs. Wilcox escorted the Shelton
couple around to the most inter-
esting spots in the southern metro-
polis.
A visit to the famous “Brown
Derby" resulted in one of the hu-
morous incidents which will live
in Mr. Wilcox’s memory of the
trip. As he and his brother-in-law
walked into the night spot Mr.
Wilcox spied a chunky, childish
looking individual seated at one
of the tables who looked very fa-
miliar.
Seen Him Before, Yes
“You from Washington?” the
Sheltonian asked, “Seems like I’ve
seen you somewhere before." Then
he was informed the “familiar
face” was that of the fat boy in
“Our Gang" comedies, who actu-
ally, Mr. Wilcox was astonished to
learn, is a midget and is 23 years
old.

Treasurer E. H. Faubert and Coun-
cilman Cntto. (State law provides
that the, mayor, treasurer and one
council member comprise the fin-
ance committee.)
Under the parks and city prop-
erty committee, Mayor Stevenson
explained today that laws govern-
ing third class cities grant the-
mayor the right to appoint a park
committee outside the city coun-
cil, but that at this time his
thought is that the committee
should be within the council and
as such should formulate a. pro-
gram and execute the same inde-
pendent of the council insofar as
possible. " '
The iii-e. light and water com-
mittee. will have one of the most
important duties of the coming
bicnniem for in its hands lies the
task of mapping the program of
improvements and extensions to
the city water systems which were
approved by the voters of the city
in the passage of the $50,000 water
revenue bond issue last month.
In addition to Mayor Stevenson,
the new councilmcn who will be
taking their first official action as
city officers are S. A. Hatchet. A.
D. Killmcr and John Sullivan. The
new council and mayor officially
took over the reins of municipal
government at a special council
meeting a. week ago Monday but
at that time no business was at—
tempted, the action being merely
the formality of seating the new
officers and “unseating” the retir-
ing officers.
Mayor Stevenson said the new
traffic ordinance which was pass-
ed as the last act of the old coun-
Mar-
lcll will. be enforced as quickly as
proper signs and markings can be
placed in the areas affected by
the new regulations.
