HOSPITAL DAY OBSERVANCE
Mayor William Stevenson andi
Chamber of Commerce President
Ed Faubcrt jointly urged the cit-
izenry of Shelton today to take full
“open
house" to inspect the Shelton hos
pital premises and facilities.
“ This community is one of the,
most fortunate in the United
lent institution for the care of its
sick and injured, “Mayor Steven—
son pointed out, “Many local re-
sidents who have escaped the neo-
essity of going to the hospital at
any time and have never been in-
side our fine hospital should by all
means do so during open house.”
President Faubert echoed the
mayor’s sentiments and added,
“The board of trustees who govern
the affairs of the Shelton hospital
and..arc responsible for bringing
it up to and maintaining it at its
high standard should be congrat-
ulated for their unselfish efforts.
The community can show a mea-
sure of appreciation by turning
out strong for Monday’s open
house.”

were relished yesterday by Mr.
and Mrs. A. E. Hoag of Pot-
latch Route, picked from their
patch beside the Olympic high-
way a half-mile north of the
Skokomish River bridge.
This is the first report of
strawberries being picked from
Mason County vines this year.

P.U.D. Energizes
41/2 Miles In Lake
Spencer Vicinity
Electricity reached 19 more ru-
ral homes early this week when
Public Utility District No. 3 en-
ergized 41/; miles of new lines
in the Spencer Lake area, cross-
ing the lake in two places with
laterals to reach some of the
new power customers.
The P.U.D. 3 construction crews
are now working on extensions
and laterals to the Agate exten-'
sion under the supervision of
Construction Foreman Norm
Westlund, working in two direc—
tions from the Agate extension
to reach Hammond Point resi-
dents and also picking up other
applicants for public power at the
other end of the lines closer to
Agate proper.
Slashing for the Arcadia exten-
sion will start this week and other
crews will begin digging holes and
setting poles in Isabella Valley
immediately, too. At the same
time, P.U.D. Crews are picking
up loose ends of the Skookum
Bay extension, reaching new cus-
tomers by building laterals and
short spurs.
RANGE ' INSTALLATIONS
KEEP P.U.D. CREW BUSY
Reflecting the first results of
the big electric range sales cam-
paign started by Shelton ..elec-
trical appliance dealers last week,
the P.U.D. No. 3 city maintenance
crew. has been keptmon the jump
this week making range hookups,
reports Manager E. W. Johnson.
Electric range purchasers are
taking advantage of the special
$25 installation price set by P.
U.D. 3 on electric range install-
ations and of the fact that that
$25 can be written into the sales
contract when the range purchase
is made, thus eliminating the
necessity of digging up that much
money at one crack.
This electric range campaign
will be conducted for the next
three months.
Local Scouts To

President Franklin D. Roose-
velt, Honorary President of the

ing Bonds and Stamps for De-
fense. The Scout Troops of Tum-
water Council comprising Mason,
Thurston and Lewis counties will
cooperate in this nation-wide good
turn. Posters are being sent to
district commissioners of each dis
trict for distribution to the var-
ious scoutmasters _within their
district.
Tumwater Council President
Harry T. Martin has made a spe-
cial request to all business houses
and organization meeting places
where these posters may be plac-
ed to give the boys their cooper-
ation in order that the posters
may have the fullest possible dis-
tribution. These posters should be
displayed in a most prominent
place in the establishment and
should be left up throughout the
present National Emergency. Boy

ited States during the next cou-
ple of weeks will be distributing
these posters as a good turn to

Returning from a three-week
trip in which they covered 5,000
miles of the western United States,
Jack Sutherland and Kenny Wol-
den, local youths, were back In
town this week.
The two Sheltonites traveled
down the coast and penetrated
150 miles down into Mexico, as
far as Encinado. Their trip
through Mexico was enlivened by
a near accident, when they got
stuck in the sand along the
beach, with the tide coming in.
After ‘spending two days in the
republic to the south, the two
boys started home, traveling
through Arizona, Utah, Nevada,
Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and
Idaho. They visited the‘ Boulder

its size. .

KlWANlS SPEAKER
SAYS U. s. UNITY .
MUST COME QUICK
Personal Experience With German
Armed Might Related By
Treasury Official
l
Eye—witness, personal experiences
with the German blitzkreig in
France were related by Karl
Richards, U. S. Treasury Depart-
ment staff member, to a.‘ spell-
bound audience of Kiwanians and
their ladies which crammed the
banquet room at Shelton Hotel
Tuesday evening.
Mr. Richards escaped death by
slender margins three times when
he twice left areas just ahead of
blitzkreigs and once arrived in an
area just after it had been blitzed,
he said he was told by German
officers with whom he talked
when the amazingly swift-moving
Germany army once caught up
with his car. ‘
He told his Shelton audience of
the German armed might he per-
sonally witnessed, its precision,
swiftness, and uniformity in equip-
ment, against which the French
had vastly inferior equipment,
training and preparedness.
He told of eating with the Ger-
man army and seeing in actuality!
the equality of mess in Hitler’s
war machine, men and officers
eating the same menu, dining at
the same tables in most cases.
While he was in custody of the
German army Mr. Richards ex—
perienced a bombing by Allied
planes, so had the unusual ex-
perience of being bombed by both
sides in the battle of France.
In his conclusion Mr. Richards
implored Americans to unite their
efforts in defense, to let
French and British examples of
disunity be a lesson, for Hitler al-
ready has a seven-year head start
on the world in preparing his war
machine.

ent logging firm, were the suc-
cessful bidders, paying $25,950 for

fir, 26,000 feet of dead standing
and down red fir, 2,000 feet of
cedar, 2,000 feet of down cedar,
and 62,000 feet of hemlock in the

Two other sales were consu-
mated at the sale, Mackey and
Lewis, a logging firm, paying the
state’s appraisal value of $726 for
40 acres of timber near Lake Isa-
bella, and Nolan Mason, Mason
County deputy treasurer, paying
$571.20 for 14.28 lineal chains of

right side of the back seat, fell
