$2,893 More Each Month To Be
Received By Present Ac-
tive List; Average
Check $31.54
Announcement has com; from
[Cora Barber. administrator of the
.Mason County Welfare Depart-
ment, that increases in local old
age assistance grants have been
authorized as a result of Initiative
I141. The State Department of
Social Security has advised the
County Welfare Department of
the approval on January 28 by
the Federal Social Security Board
of the plan submitted by the De-
partment for amending the state's
provision for the needy aged. It
to modify the original provisions
'to modify the orifinal provisions
of the Initiative in a few impor-
tant respects. The Initiative it-
self made possible Such changes
as were necessary to make it con-
form to the Federal Act and to
insure Federal help in financing
the program.
In Mason County 256 old age
pensioners will benefit by the
new schedule, Miss Barber said.
The average old age pension check
which will be received by local
clients will be $31.54 after the
new pay schedule becomes ef-
fective as compared with the
$22.32 average of February checks,
Miss Barber explained. This in-
:creases the monthly total old age
bill in Mason~ County) based on
[present clients only) from $5,-
782 to $8,175, or an increase of
$2,393.
Many New Applications
Up to yesterday afternoon 37
requests from new pension ap~
plicants had been received by Miss
Barber’s staff. These applicants
need not 're-apply as their ad-
dresses are on record and they
will be notified by mail of defi-
i
l
l
nite appointments for interviewsl
when their applications are con-
sidered further. These applica-
tions will be completed as quick-
ly as time permits, she said.
Because of, the urgency of com-
pleting the adjustments for pres-
ent clients the welfare staff has
not had time to interview or pay
home visits to pension recipients
so had to use information already
recorded in making the adjust-
ments. Miss Barber said.
Initiative 141 originally propos-
cc to exempt from consideration
certain income and resources, such
as the use or occupancy of prop-
erty owned by or given to the
applicant, fuel, light and water
i
bers of his family or by friends,
or produced by him for his own
use, together with gifts in cash
of less than $100 a year and gifts
in kind of less than $100 a year,
Miss Barber explained.
All Resources Accounted
The Federal Social Security
Board requires that all income
and resources, without substan-
tial exception, be taken into ac-
count in determining eligibility
for old age assistance and in ar—
‘riving at the amount of the month-
ly grant. The Board therefore
.fqnnd subsections (g) and (h) of
Section 3 of the Initiative not in
conformity with the Federal Soc-
ial Security Act and the plan
submitted by the Department of
Social Security was of necessity
based on the requirements of the
Federal Act rather than the
Initiative, she continued.
Those receiving grants of less
than $40 will do so because they
have income or resources of var-
.ious kinds. Such resources may
be in cash or in kind, and may in-
clude housing which the applicant
has provided for himself by prior
purchase, or housing or other
items given him by members of
his family or others.
Miss Barber reports that it will
inot be necessary for present ap-
plicants of old age assistance to
reapply. Their grants will be au-
tomatically increased by the Coun-
Ly Welfare Department for pay-
ment as of March 1. After the
necessary work in making these
increases has been done by the 10-
cal staff, work will be started on
such new applications as may be
received.

During Boy Scout Week 1941
the Boy Scouts of America is re-
minding Americans that “the
paramount need in national de-

vigorating of democracy in the
United States." This the organ-
ization proposes to do through its
normal programs of activity and
education.
:Wiaoy Scouts in this country, fol-
lowing a non-military policy, are
engaged in a program of “learn-

city are learning how to do the
simple, necessary things of life,
from tying'a knot that will hold
to cooking a meal in the open.

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
32- Voice Women’s Chorus
, Presents Concert Friday
Having sampled instrument
music as portrayed by the school
bands in last Sunday's concert, 10—
cal music lovers will now have
the opportunity to hear vocal
[music as exemplified by local tal- ,
ient when the Shelton Women's
‘Cllorus stages its first major
event of 1941 in a concert this
‘Friday evening in the junior high
)
auditorium. ‘
The program gets under way
at eight o’clock, with admission to
be 27 cents.
The chorus is composed of 32
Voices under the direction of Ben
Hallgrimson, Shelton school music
instructor. Mrs. Homer Dunning,
an accomplished pianist, is the
accompanist.
Additional membership in the
chorus is open to those interested
until next Tuesday evening, when
the next regular meeting of the
group is scheduled to be held in
the senior high school music room
at 7:30 o’clock. Further plans will
be laid at that meeting for the
Easter cantata and the spring
concert which the chorus will
stage. ~
The musical program to be pre—
sented at Friday’s concert com-
prises the following selections:
ECONOMY STORE
TO BECOME CUT
RATEORUO FIRM
New Manager Changes Name 01‘
Store To Steele’s Cut
Rate Economy Drug
} Latest business change in Shel-
ton which finds Jack Steele of
Tacoma, taking over the Economy
Drug Store from Hanson Berg,
goes into effect tomorrow when
Mr. Berg will leave for Fairbanks,
Alaska, to attend to his father’s
estate.
Mr. Steele announced yesterday
that the store will now be known
as Steele’s Cut-Rate Economy
Drug Store, and that he would
follow the merchandising policies
iof'Cut—Rate and ‘PayJLess Drug
Stores, which are to be found in
neighboring towns.
Mr. Steele, a. graduate of the
College of Pharmacy of the Uni-
versity of Washington, has. had a
varied experience in the drug bus-
iness. He was manager of Brown’s
Drug Store in Bremerton for sev-
en years and also- went on the
road as a salesman for Sharpe &
Dohme pharmaceautical house,
with headquarters in Salt Lake
City.
Desirous of establishing himself
in business, Mr. Steele, who had
visited Shelton in the past as a
salesman, bought the Economy
Drug Store from Mr. Berg when
the latter decided to go to Alas-
ka. .-
Mr. Steele w'll be assisted in
the operations 0 his store by his
wife. He expressed the earnest
hope that all former customers of
the Economy Drug Store would
continue to give the new enterprise
their patronage.
Mr. Berg leaves Shelton after
a stay of some 15 years in this
city. He is not unacquainted with
Alaska, having served in a gov-
ernment position some 50 miles
from Fairbanks.
Time Extended On
School Questions
Although today was officially
set as the deadline for filling out
questionnaires on the proposed
trade school for Shelton, interest-
ed young men who have not yet
done so may still obtain the forms
at the senior high, Reed Mill of-
fices, or The Journal for a few
days yet, the investigating com-
mittee announced today.
Response to the proposal has
not been nearly as great as anti-
cipated, according to the commit-
tee, but due to certain factors
which may have affected the re-
sponse the questionnaires will be

Annual savings which amount
approximately to the cost of one,
month’s operation of the offices
have been achieved by the Ma-
son County treasurer’s office thru
an idea propounded by Deputy
Treasurer Nolan Mason;
Through a reduction in interest
school and current expense war-
rants the county will be saved in
the neighborhood of $450 to $500
a year, using the value of war-
rants issued in 1940 as a basis.
By making a survey of other
sixth class counties, Deputy Treas~
urer Mason found that only one
other in the state was paying
more than 3 per cent interest on
its registered warrants, regardless
.of whether there was bank com-
petition or not.

[REED GLOOMY
T UPON RETURN
FROM CAPITAL
Representing Northwest At Con-
ference 0f Major Industries
“'ith Gov‘t Heads, He
Finds Little Cheer
Frank C. Reed, who was called
to Washington as a representative
of the Federated Industries of
Washington state, was in town
today at the Simpson Logging
Company offices after a hurried
ten-day flying trip. The call was
for a conference of the major in-
dustries of the nation, particular-
ly those concerned in war prepara-
tion, and planned for cooperation
with the national defense in the
huge task of quickly working over
the small industries and plants
making minor items of domestic
consumption into specially tooled
and equipped plants for meeting
the demand for big war machines.
The defense commission was
concerned with the delays which
held down production of vital war
needs in many places, including
conflicting federal authority and
regulation, labor troubles and bot-
tlenecks in supplies which might
be avoided; and industry was en-
abled to present its side of the
picture with the hope that some
of these troubles will be ironed
out as the need becomes more ap-'
parent to the country, and the
various branches of government
show more cooperation, Mr. Reed
commented.
Mr.‘ Reed returns with the im-
pression that all is not well with
thiS‘country‘s situation just now,
and that the true story has been
kept from the people as regards
their own danger from the out—
come of war. His impression is
that the situation is not realized
even in Washington by those who
demand “all out” aid for Britain,
but have not yet reached the point
of demanding “all out” production
in industry and labor, regardless
of cost or profit; that it would not
be surprising if this country faced
the grim reality of war within a
very few weeks.
