I VVhathakes Shelton Hospital Tops In Its Class I
At the top are grouped most of the nurses who see
that Shelton hospital patients are given the best care
possible and who have helped build for Shelton hos-
pital a reputation as being the finest small town
institution of its type in the state and one of the finest
in the entire country. In the front row, left to right,
are Antoncttc Baima, Louise Beers, Erma Roscnow,
Lucille McDaniel, and Marion Magnochic; middle row,
Larry Safly, orderly, Mary Carney, Jean Spurlock,
Louise Pratt, Margaret Culwell, and Frank Harrier,
technician; back row, Ann Harmon, Rosie Post, Dor-
othy LaBarr, Emalyn Stewart, Dorcas Myers, and
Superintendent chla Dccny. .
The center panel shows Frank Harrier adjusting
the portable X—ray machine recently installed at Shel—
ton hospital on Patient Dan McCustin. The new ma-
chine is so highly adjustable that it can take X-rays
of any part of a patient in whatever position the
patient may be without moving the patient. The
machine can even be put beneath bed to take pic-
tures and is light enough to be taken along on house
calls if needed.
In the lower scene MTSZ Emalyn Stewart, veteran
Of the Shelton hospital "nuT-S‘mgfitaff, is demonstrating
the recently acquired diathefmic machine (left) which
imparts electrical short wave-3 for heat applications to
patients, the cold quartz ray machine (center) which
produces alpine sun ray-9: and the new infra-red my
machine (right), both of the latter machines being
used to treat bruises; sorene-SS, Sinus, eta, through
heat applications and health giving rays. The patient
again is Dan Mcmislin.

lANNUAL TAG SALE I
l FORHOT LUNCH
! FUND gill; FRlDAY
Lincoln P.-T. A. Out To Bolster
Fund W'hich Provides Free
Lunches To Kids
Save a. spare coin or two this
Friday, neighbors, and buy a tag
to help the Lincoln grade school
lhot lunch fund.
} Ladies of the Lincoln P.-T. A.
lure going to conduct a tag sale
IFriday to help fatten the fund
,which provides some 10,000 hot
llllnches during the course of an
,average school term for the Lin-
lcoln grade school pupils who can- 1
inot go home for lunch nor have
[the wherewithal to buy their own
‘noon meals. So far this year 8,-
539 lunches have been served, of
which 3850 were free. .
The Lincoln P.-T. A. has made
{the hot lunch fund its major ac—
§tivity in a fund raising way, and
’is the largest single donor to the
fund, although the P.T.A. con-
tributes only a fourth or a fifth,
of the total needed to conduct the
hot lunch program. A half doz-
‘en other regular donors plus a
[scattering of voluntary contribu—
tions combine to complete the. fund
picture, but the P.—T. A. pledges
itself to at least $10 a month
throughout the school year plus
whatever else it can add to that.
Friday’s tag sale is to be one
of the mediums the P.—T.A. em—
ploys to hold up its pledge to the
fund, so tuck away a spare coin
or two for a tag so some young-
ster won't go without a nourish-
ing hot lunch. 5
The lunches served are of such
nourishing dishes as potatoes and l
gravy, various kinds of soups,
cooked vegetables, apple sauce and .
cookies, etc., which are provided
at 4 or 5 cents to those able tol
pay, free to those unable to do so. ‘
To conduct such a program re—
quires between $400 and $500 each |
l
school year, reports Miss Blanche
Bertrand, Lincoln principal, plus
donations of food stuffs which
come the program's way during
the course of a year. Frequent—
ly the fund has a deficit at the
end of the year and then Miss
Bertrand has to go out and get
more money from wherever she
can. or else make it up the fol-
ioWing fall.
Friday's tag sale as been ar-
ranged by a committee composed
of Mrs. H. G. Angle, chairman,
Mrs. Florence Weeks, Mrs. John
Eliason, and Mayor William Stev-
enson. Most of the members of
the Lincoln P.-T. A. will take
part in the actual sale of tags,
which will bear no special price
“purchaser” can afford at the
moment he is contacted by a tag
salesman.
'Pirates Play At
Poulsbo Friday
In A,A.U. Battlei
l
Poulsbo's Sons of Norway Will
be first opponents blocking the
path of the Pantorium Pirates in
the Shelton team's quest for a
berth in the state A.A.U. tourna-
ment, it was learned this morn-
mg.
The Poulsbo aggregation won
the Kitsap County A.A.U. crown
last night by defeating the Navy
Yard Apprentices of Bremerton,
48 to 40, at Bremerton.
The Pirates go to Poulsbo this
Friday evening to tangle with the
Norwegians, the game to start at
seven o’clock. The winner then

send being in that playoff, on the
Peninsula winner’s floor, then that
victor meets the King County ti—
tlist in this end of the district
in the final elimination for the
district’s tournament berth.
In order to rest the Pirate ‘line—
up as much as possible a couple of
changes in the city league bas-
ketball schedule for tonight’s
games have been made.
McCleary Timber will take Mc-
Conkey Pharmacy’s place in the
first game against 4-E Dairy,
In case the Pirates Win at
Poulsbo and the playoff with the
Peninsula champ is arranged for
Sunday, then Saturday night’s
game between Kimbel and Mc-
Conkey will be delayed until next
week.

UNION HAS FINAL PROOF OF
EARLY SPRING IN GARDENS
Union, February 19~——Of course-
everything is early this spring
and here and there someone pops
up with a» private brag about his
early blooming daffodil or violets
or something else.
However there are citizens of
Union. who proclaim that they of
all others are in the most favored
spot and in proof cite the garden
of Mrs. Adela Kent, where an
Acacia tree spreads and thrives
and an orange tree, a grapefruit,
a lemon and an Avacado flourish.
The lemon tree has on it at this
time 17 lemons, small but of com-
mercial (490) size, several of
which are turning yellow.
Frank Caella, also of Union, has
an Acacia tree 15 feet tall which
is now coming into bloom.
It is suggested that the hillside
back of Union protects against
sudden changes in freezing and
thawing and so makes possible
the cuture of these semi-tropical
trees.
Work On “Little
House” Held Up;
Electrician Need
A plea was sent out this week
from members of the Girl Scout
Council for the services of a 1i—
censed electrician to aid with the
“Little House" project which they
are working on at Kneeland
Park.
So far, the response for dona-
tions and materials has been very
gratifying, but at the present
time work is almost at a stand-
still until the wiring is put in
thereby providing the necessary
lighting which will enable other
volunteer workmen to aid during
the evening. The help or a car-
penter is also being requested.
When completed the “Little
House” will be the gathering
place for the various Girl Scout
troops, and is very much needed
as the Girl Scout mOVement in
Shelton is growing rapidly.
Activians Name
Gene Hanson As
Dance Chairman
Gene Hanson, immediate past
president, was appointed chair-
man of the Active Club’s annual
spring frolic by President George
Dunning last night at the club's
weekly meeting.
The dance will be held the Sat-
urday following Easter, according
to present plans, with the pro-
ceeds to be put into the fund for
delegates expenses to the Active
International convention at Port-
land next summer. The eight can-
didates for delegates were named
as a committee to raise the con-
vention delegates fund, then will
select from their own numbers
the three official representatives
of the club.
Two events will divide the club
membership next Wednesday when
one contingent drives off to Long-
view for an inter-club meeting
and‘ the “stay-at-homes" hold a
regular meeting here. The Long-
view trip will be in the way of a
kickoff for the Shelton club’s
campaign to elect Paul Marshall
as District 1 governor.
School Candidates
Get No Opposition
No opposition appeared to con-
test the candidacies of Mrs. George
Drake, A. S. Viger arid L. A.
Walton for re-election to the posi-
tions on the school board of the
Shelton district, according to
Clerk Harry Carlon this afternoon.
The deadline for filing was yes-
terday. The annual school elec—
tions will be held March 1.
Aviation Club In
Process of Being
Organized Here
Plans for Shelton's first air-
plane club are rapidly being com-
pleted by Joe Miller, Ed. Jeffery,
Shelton pilot, disclosed today.
Airplane clubs such as the one
being formed here have been en-
joying increased popularity thru-
out the United States. In it, it
is explained, a group of fifteen
or twenty aviation enthusiasts
pool their resources and buy a
new plane. The initial payment
being from thirty-fiVe to fifty
dollars each, depending on the
type of ship purchased.
The monthly dues amounts to
approximately six dollars and
avails the club members a new
ship for training and flying. A
charge of two dollars per hour is
made to cover gasoline, insurance,
and depreciation.
Bremerton has a flying club
with fourteen members which is
reputed to be the strongest club
financially in the state. Tacoma
also has a club with twenty mem—
bers. Many other cities have two
or more clubs each.
The advantages in belonging to
a club of this kind, it was point-
ed out, are that low cost flying'
is made available, while expenses
remain at a minimum. During the
week the ship can be used for
extensive trips while weekends it
is available for half-hour flights
by club members. Interests in
the plane or club are transferable,
Mr. Jeffery said.
War Relief Yarn
Ready For Sewers;
A call for sewers to work on
the Red Cross war relief sewing
project was sounded today by
Mrs. Herbert Miller, chairman,
following the arrival of a consid-
erable quantity of yarn for knit-
ting sweaters, mufflers and
socks.
She urged all women interested
in helping in the Red Cross pro-
ject to clean up the current sup—
ply of materials before the call
of spring gardening gets too urg-
ent.
Yam may be secured by call~
ing at Memorial Hall for it or by
contacting Mrs. Miller.
Arcadia Resident

Jacob F. Reed, 79, resident of
Arcadia Road for the past five
years, died at Shelton hospital
yesterday after a short illness.
He was a retired carpenter and
sawmill worker.
Last rites will be held Monday

eral Home.

Dept. Commander Outlines Le-
gion’s Place In National
Defense Program Dur—
1 ing Official Visit
As an agency in America's na-
tional defense program the Ameri-
can Legion’s place is to be one of
a. cooperator with other existing
organizations such as the Red
Cross, the Army. the Navy, the
F.B.I. and others which will play
key roles if and when the United
States becomes involved actively
in war, Department Commander
Rudy Nichols of Monroe explain-
ed to members of the Olympia
and Shelton American Legion
posts in his official visit here
Tuesday evening.
Memorial Hall was vcll filled
for the department commander‘s
visit with members of Fred B.
Wivell post of Shelton and Alfred
William Leach post of Olympia
turning out in large numbers for
the occasion, with auxiliary mem-
bers of the Shelton post also sit-
ting in to hear Commander Nich-
ol‘s message.
The Legion’s program national-
ly was mapped at a recent gather-
ing of the 48 department com-
manders with national Legion of-
ficers in Indianapolis, Commander
Nichols explained. .
National Registration
At that meeting the Legion's
role of cooperator was determin—
ed, he said. The first step in the
program will be national regis-
tration of all World War veterans
with the object of securing in-
formation on the physical con-
dition of ex-servieemen, their pres-
cnt occupations, and where they
would best fit into national de-
fense work.
Just how this registration is to
be handled by the local post has
not yet been announced. Many
posts throughout the nation are
registering on Washington's Birth-
day. Commander Nichols said.
The American Legion's cooperv
ation in national defense would
also extend to assist civilians in
air raid work such as fighting
fires, assisting in blackouts, and
in any other need arising from
home defense emergencies.
Cooperation in the establish-
mcnt of a national network of
amateur radio station operators
would be extremely valuable in
disseminating information and
messages during emergencies is
another program which the
American Legion is working out,
Commander Nichols stated.
Observers In England
He pointed out that at the
present time the Legion has four
lmen in England observing how
.home defense plans are being
worked out and with what suc-
cess so that first hand knowledge
of defense tactics which have ac-
‘tually been tried under war condi-
'tions will be available to America
if the need should arise.
A national legislative program
is also being pushed by the
American Legion, Commander
Nichols continued, which embodies
planks covering national defense
preparedness from a military
standpoint, securing government
iprotection for World War widows
and orphans, preference to war
veterans in civil service positions
with refreshing courses to be
given to prepare them for work
under civil service, and a three-
point Americanism program which
includes further restriction of im-
migration, continuance of the
Dies Committee,-and increase in
the personnel of the F.B.I.
Commander Nichols was accom-
panied on his official visit to the
two posts by Fourth District Com-
Imander William Bierer of Sum-
lner. Commander John Eliason
of Fred B. Wivell post turned the
meeting over to Commander John
IS. Lynch, Jr., of the Olympia post,
who presided. Refreshments were
served by the ladies auxiliary of
Fred B. Wivell post to close the
program.
Preceding the meeting Com-
manders Nichols and Bierer were
guests at the Shelton Hotel at a
6:30 no-host dinner attended by
Legionnaires of both the posts.

tary.
