which has been started by C. W.
Oberg. of Hoquiam, he reported
to The Journal yesterday.
The remaining trees are due to

added.
Herman Lorenzen is caretaker

I Oldtimers Here Recall Leafy Giant
I Was Quite a Tree Even Be-
l’ fore City Expanded
One of the landmarks known to
the earliest Shelton settlers bow—
ed to Father Time~and a city
street department crew—last Sat-
urday when the giant maple tree
growing from the parking strip
in front of the Ralph Pigg home
at Twelfth and Franklin was cut
down.
The oldtimer in these parts who
hasn’t climbed that big maple
many a time wasn’t much of a
boy, and up to its last moments
its was a favorite vantage point
to which the youth of the west
end of town often ascended to
imagine himself a lookout on a
ship at sea, or an explorer looking
over the country he was passing
through, or whatever else youth~
ful fancies could picture.
But the leafy giant was only a
shell of the once sturdy timber
that lorded over that area follow-
ing the arrival of “civiliZation”
with its homes and streets. It
was hollow and rotted inside and
was becoming a hazard should a
stiff gale ever roar in from the
Pacific through the pass to the
west. Its branches, as big as
many ordinary trees, were drop-
ping off now and then, some dam-
aging the roof of the Pigg home
beneath. I
So, at Pigg‘s request to the city
council, Street Supt. E. E. Brew-
icr and a crew of men went to
‘work on the big maple Saturday
and by nightfall only a hollow
stump some three feet high was
left of the once haughty tree.
3- No one knows how old it was,
tor the rot had eaten out the tell-
t‘ale rings of age, leaving only a
shell a few inches thick for a
trunk, but the earliest Shelton set-
tlers remember the big maple.

Program Arranged I
l
l
Seventy-five 4-H leaders, club
members, and visitors gathered
at Memorial Hall last Saturday
for the semi—annual District 4-H
meeting. The program started
with a recreation feature directed
by Edgar Reif, Assistant agent
in Thurston county and partici-
pated in by everyone.
Group singing was led by Mrs.
Ruth Hawk, leader of the Lower
Skokomish garden club.
Jacqueline Sheedy and Gerald-
ine Buffington, accompanied by
Miss Stackhouse, favored the
group with several tap dance
numbers.
A demonstration on Preparation
of cutworm bait was given by a
Grays Harbor county club mem-
ber, and R. T. Coie, Pacific coun-
ty agent, discussed methods of
developing judging teams.
Mr. Henry M. Walker, State 4-
H club agent, discussed House
Bill No. 313, which would ap-
propriate a sum of money for
fairs. This would give each fair
depending on its classification a
reasonable amount for operating.
Election of officers found Mrs.
Hall, Grays Harbor, as presi-
dent; Mrs. Strumski, Pacific, as
vice-president; Mrs. I. C. Ford,
Mason, as secretary, and Mrs. Du~
gan, Pierce, as reporter.
The next fair is scheduled for
August 14, at Pacific county.

March 24. aerie officers announc-
ed today.
Plans were laid last night at
the weekly aerie meeting to ini-

on flat date with an entertain-
ment program which will include

This shows the city's new fire
truck as it was being tested Friw
day afternoon by the Washing-
ton Surveying and Rating Bureau
with Engineer E. M. Miller in
charge. The three~hour test
was conducted at the end of the
Goldsborough Bridge on First
street with Goldsborough Creek
supplying the water for the test.
The stream of water can be seen
being pumped at tremendous
force for over 150 feet upstream
over the top of the truck.
After the tests had been con-
cluded, Engineer Miller summar-
ized the results in his report of
acceptance in these words: “This
apparatus completed all tests
satisfactorily without interrupt-
ion and with moving parts indi—
cating no excessive heating. Mo—
tor has ample power and appara-
tus was in excellent condition at
conclusion of the tests.
“Capacity and pressure require-
ments were satisfactorily fulfill—
ed and the apparatus may be ac-
cepted as a 500—gallon motor
pumper."

The epistle had been opened by

its contents had been censored.
The letter follows:
9, York Mansions,

London, February, 1941
Dear Cousin Arthur:
As I am writing to you I
thought you would also like a
little first-hand information as
to how we in England are stand-
ing up to the air-raids, etc. You
can believe me when I say that
the general public has nothing but
gratutude to America for all the
assistance given. It is grand.
As you will have read in the
ress for a long period we had
nightly visitations lasting at
least the warnings—all night but
we have all become so used to
it that we take it all as part of
our life now. For our part we
have had our windows blown out
b bomb blast four times and also
our front door blown in and on
another occasion our bedroom
floor-boarding blown up when
we were in bed. Strangely enough
we hardly felt this, although on
other occasions from bombs much
further away our building has
shaken as a ship at sea. As a
little illustration of how accustom-
ed everybody has become to night—
ly raids I was rather amused as
I tried to get to sleep one night.
The gun barrage was simply deaf—
ening, German planes Were roar-
ing overhead and shell pieces were
clanking down in the street like
rain. In the midst of all this one
of my few remaining neighbors
was peacefully rendering Chopin
on the piano, a man was strolling
by whistling cheerfully and two
cats were conducting a concert
beneath the window—all of which
proves that people and animals
can grow used to anything.
Quite a lot of people sleep in
shelters, but on the other hand

fort and sleep in our beds.

80 Many Turn Out For Crisler
Colored Pictures That 2nd
Showing ls Given
C
New inspiration to visit the
scenic wonderlands of the Olym-
pic Peninsula, perhaps too close
to have been appreciated hereto-
fore, was received from the fa-
mous Herb Crisler colored motion
pictures at last Thursday‘s Cham-
ber of Commerce program by a
crowd so large that a second
showing of the films was neces-
sary to accommodate the numbers
who wanted to see them.
There wasn’t even standing
room left in Memorial Hall when
the first showing started about
eight o’clock, so President Ed
Faubert of the Chamber arrang-
ed a second showing and the hall
was more than half filled for the
added feature.
The films more than lived up to
expectations. The ooohs and aaahs
and “isn‘t that beautiful” com-
ments were continuous from start
to finish as one-breath taking
scene after another unfoldded on
the screen.
' Animal Scenes Thrill
The master touch of Photo-
grapher Crisler, who was present
in person, brought to the screen
closeups of practically all animals
which inhabit the Olympic penin-
sula except the cougar and bob-
cat, two predators very rarely
seen, much less pictured.
And the same procedure brought
the myriad species of gorgeous
Olympic flowers before the eyes
of the crowd in all their vivid
natural colors, as well as pictur-
ing the general beauty and rug-
gedness of the Olympic moun-
tains.
Through the films the crowds
were brought into an intimacy
with the Olympics next only to
what an actual visit to the areas
pictured could bring. Only the
mountain air was missing.
The program was, without ques-
tion, one of the best received the
Chamber has ever staged here.
Advertising Exhibit Interests
As an added attraction to the
pictures, the advertising exhibit
prepared by William Thorniley,
president of the Olympic Penin—
sula Hotel and Resort Owners
Ass‘n, from actual advertising ma-
terial used by the association in
promoting tourist travel to the
peninsula, drew much attention
and comment from the crowds.
The crowd felt that both the ex-
hibit and the pictures should be
put to work in the Middle West
and the East to further promote
travel to this area, although there
were those who were afraid per-
haps the Middle Westerns and
Easterners wouldn’t believe what
they saw in the films.
From a fiscal standpoint the
March session was pretty dull for
the business affairs which round-
ed out the dinner program in the
Shelton Hotel before the Memor-
ial Hall entertainment program
was limited to routine affairs.
No Highway Project Planned
Commissioner Robert Trenck-
mann reported that State High-
way Director James Davis told
him, in answer to the Chamber’s
request for information on any
program to widen and straighten
the Olympia-Shelton highway, that
such a program might be pushed
thru if national defense require-
ment demand it, while a letter
from George A. Mason, district
construction engineer for the
highway department, informed
the Chamber that no such re-
location of the highway is now
planned but that studies would be
made when the traffic count jus-
tifies such measures.
President Faubert reported that
the Chamber’s program to in-
crease downtown parking facili—
ties through removing curbing
and parking strips on Second and
Third in'the postoffice block had
been presented to the city coun-
cil and was in the hands of com-
mittee.
A letter from Gov. Arthur B.
Langlie promised full considera—
tion of Tom Webb for the vacant
post in the state game commis-
sion, Webb having been endorsed
by the Chamber last month.
Vice-President Frank Lynn’s.
letter of resignation from that post
was received and read.
Father of Harold
Ellis Succumbs
Death claimed Frank Charles
Ellis, 77, father of Harold C. El-
lis of Shelton, in the Northern
Pacific hospital in Tacoma Sat-
urday.
Mr. Ellis, Sr., a visitor here
on frequent occasions to see his
son, had been a yardmaster and
switchman for the Northern Pa—
cific for many years prior to
his retirement seven years ago.
The widow, a daughter in Los
Angeles, and two grandchildren
survive in addition to Mr. Ellis
here.
Funeral services will be con-
ducted Thursday at three o’clock
from the Buckley-King Parlors in
Tacoma. He was a member of
State lodge No. 68, F. and A. M.

DOGFISH SOUGHT
IN NEW INDUSTRY
REPORTED OP EN
Receiving Station At Arcadia and
Minerva Beach Reported
Established Here
Establishment of receiving sta-
tions at Arcadia Point on Ham-
mersly Inlet and Minerva Beach
on Hood Canal by 73. Tacoma firm
for the purchase of dog fish was
reported by County Commission-
er Robert Trenckmann yesterday.
The heretofore despised dog
fish is now becoming a valuable
piscatorial specimen in a new in.
dustry which is springing up on
Puget Sound for the dog fish’s
liver is being used to produce a
product to take the place of cod
liver oil since the shipment of
the latter to America from Nor-
way has been‘ wiped out by the
war.
Confirmation of the reports of
the establishment of these receiv-
ing stations could not be made to-
day by The Journal, but it is
known that inquiries have been
made recently by parties interest-
ed in the growing dog fish indus-
try in regard to the establisl'lmenti
of such receiving stations inwthis

Eagle Award Is
Agate Court Of
Honor Surprise
As expected, Troop 8 of Agate
easily captured the Getty
ance Trophy at the Boy Scout
court of honor held at the Agate
grange hall last Thursday, but un-
expected was the presentation of
an Eagle Scout badge to Scout-
master Walter Spinharney of
Troop 12.
This part of the court of honor
program had been overlooked in
the advance announcements of
the court, so it was a. complete
Suprise to all but two or three of
the participants in the program.
.Scoutmaster Spinharney, since
his identification with Boy Scout-
mg here less than two years ago.
has been as enthusiastic a merit
badge seeker as any individual
Scout, culminating in his earning
0f the Eagle Badge, highest Boy
Scout rank attainable.
The Agate grunge hall was jam-

$4,500 Set Aside From County
Road Funds For 4 Pro-
jects; Approval Of
2 Others Given
Funds totalling $4,500 were set
aside yesterday by the county
commissioners for the improve-
ment or replacement of three Ma—
son County bridges and improve-
ment of one county road.
Of the total, $2,000 was allocat-
ed to drive new piling for the
McClain‘s Cove bridge, work to
start as quickly as weather and
,tide conditions are suitable, ac-
‘ cording to the resolution covering
this project. The resolution point-
ed out that the bridge, situated
over water on a tidal cover has
been subject to marine action for
several years past now and is in
need of repairs to make it safe
for the traffic is carries.
Spans To Be Replaced
Two present bridges are to be
entirely replaced at costs set at
$750 apiece in separate resolutions
adopted yesterday by the county
board. The Benson bridge is one,
