Fined $107,000
The Simpson Logging Company
:of Shelton was one of 32 logging
companies who pleaded nolo con—
tender and were fined last week,
lby the U. S. Government on char-
ges of violating the Sherman anti—
trust act. Six lumber trade as-
sociations and 20 individuals were
also fined along with the 32 log—
ging companies under the same
‘federal court verdict, ’the
ifinc being $107,000.
i The Simpson Logging company
was fined $2000, the West Coast
Lumbermen’s Association,
which it belonged, was fined $5,-
000, and Frank G. Reed, presi-
dent of the Simpson Logging com-
ipany, was one of the 20 indivi-
duals each of whom was fined
$500. The Pope and Talbot Log-
ging company of Portland, which
has holdings in Mason County,
was also fined $2000.
They were indicted last Sept-
ember 25 on charges of price fix-
ring and collusion. The plea of
nolo contender entered by the ac—
lCllSCd constitutes an acceptance
aof sentence without an admission
of guilt, which is explained in de-

Every effort to secure a sub-
stitute airport for local aviators
to use after the Navy takes over
the present Shelton airport next
month was promised yesterday by
the county commissioners when
a delegation of l'lyers who use the
local field for their flying needs
waited upon the board at its
weekly meeting.
Possible sites for a new field
were discussod by the delegation
and the board with favor
View a few blocks outside the
city limits of the northwest. Other
sites discussed included Johns
Prairie and a place near Dayton.
Notice of summons and petition
in condemnation proceedings re-
garding the Shelton airport and
adjoining land owned by John
MacRae and Peter
which the Navy desires to ill-
clude as part of the auxiliary
landing field it proposes to es—
tablish here was served upon the
county auditor yesterday with in—
structions to appear in Tacoma
June 9 for the condemnation hear-
,ing.
‘The Navy is to take official
possession of the airport site May
3, but just how soon actual work
in preparing the airport for Navy
use is not known here.
Other business of the board yes-
terday was largely routine. An
order vacating streets and alleys

partment was received by the
board for North Shore road im—
provements, which include the
construction of two new bridges
and other improvements to the

Beauty Pfoject
To Get Neat Sum
From Music Ads
Winding up a very successful
two week campaign, the Music
Festival program advertising com-
mittee reports proceeds which ex—
ceed $300 gross, with a few more
ads outstanding.
Expenses of the Music Festival
will be paid from this sum, the
balance then going toward the
Shelton Garden Clubs beautifica—
tion project, which the club is
contemplating finishing early this
summer.
Mrs. William A. McKenzie,
chairman of the advertising com-
mittee was extremely pleased with
the cooperation received from the
merchants of Shelton, and report-
ed with few exceptions, all were
equally interested in supporting
the Annual Music Festival and
Garden Club Railroad Avenue pro-
ject. Mrs. McKenzie also ex—
pressed thanks to the committee
of capable saleswomen consisting
of Mrs. Reed Mitchell, Mrs. A. S.
Koch, Mrs. Steve Rupert and Mrs.
Mark Pickens who worked so suc-
cessfully on the campaign, each
one exceeding her quota and co-
operating in every way to .make
the enterprise show unusual re-

RAYONIER FIRST
AID SQUAD MAKES
VERY GOOD SCORE
Shelton Team Gets 96.4 Points,
Places Fifth With “Rook-

Making
considering its comparative inex-
perience, the Shelton Rayonier
first aid team placed fifth in the
nine-team field at the annual
Northwest inter-company firs t
aid meet held in Port Angeles Fri—
day by representatives from
Crown—Willamette, Rayonier In-
corporated, and Fibreboard In-
corporated firms.
The high calibre of the meet
is indicated in the fact that the
Shelton team placed fifth in spite
of scoring a fine 96.4 total. The
last place team scored 93.2, the
winning team 98.8. Washington
Pulp and Paper of Port Angeles
won the title, succeeding their
fellow townsmen from Rayonier,
1940 champs, and beating out the
Camas Crown-Willamette squad,'
1939 champs, by a shade.
Algthree teams are veteran out 4
fits, having worked together for
at least three years or longer. The
Shelton Rayonier squad was com-
posed entirely of first aiders new

G e t 8 Surprise
For two weeks, off and on,
David Wiss had gone fishing
with the admonition to his mo—
ther, Mrs. Lantz VViss, “Now
don’t buy any meat for dinner
tonight, Mom, I’ll have fish for
you."
And for two weeks, off and
on, David hadn’t caught any of i
the promised fish.
But Friday at Steamboat Is-
land things were different.
David hooked a giant spring
salmon which fought for an
hour before finally yielding to
David’s angling skill. It weigh-
ed over 25 pounds.
David triumphantly strode in—
to the kitchen with his catch—
and found his mother preparing
two pounds of halibut for that
night’s dinner.

HALF COST OF
STREET OILING
UP TO PEOPLE
$64 Per Block Price Set, Payable
By June 1; Two Storm Sew-
er Projects Approved
By City Council
Financing of half the cost of
summer dust laying on Shelton’s
unpaved streets must be borne by
property owners hereafter, the city
council decided at its regular meet-
ing Thursday evening when it
approved the street committee’s
recommendation that a set price
. of $64 per block be charged again-
st the property holders for a light
macadam surfacing.
This would be at the rate of $8
per 60 foot lot with the money to
be paid to the city clerk before
June 1, by property owners de-
siring to have the dust laying
work cover their neighorhoods. No
unit smaller than a whole block
would be undertaken.
This per block price is only about
half of the actual cost of the work,
the street committee pointed out,
but municipal street funds would
be used to make up the balance.
The action Was recommended by
the committee in as much as the
city has finances in its street fund
which could cover only about 15
blocks, and to designate any cer-
tain 15 blocks for the work would
be unfair to property owners on
blocks not included in that group.
Similar To Paving
The committee also pointed out
that the city is not responsible for
,financing such work anyway as
any oiling work or street surfacing
program like that is similiar to
installing concrete paving or ce-
merit sidewalks, the cost of which
are always borne by the property
owners.
Two major drainage projects
were authorized by the council
following the sewer committee’s
recommendations that approxi-
mately 350 feet of storm sewer be
installed on Sixth street in the
northwest section of town to take
care of possible overflow waters
of the creek in that district, and
the installation of approximately
400 feet of storm sewer be made
near the Ole Johnson property on
the southside hill to take care of
water which has been diverted
into~the small canyon in that
neighborhood.
Through the interchange of mat-
erials on the two projects the sew-
er committee pointed out that a
considerable saving to the city can
be affected by doing the two
JObS at the same time. The council
approved the recommendation, 3:
the 18-inch wooden pipe which
now is carrying the load in the
storm sewer in the Sixth street
area will be taken up and used
for the drainage necessary in the
