An Importan
Culmination of what many people regard as
Shelton’s greatest civic
paving of the city streets occurs this Friday when
the Shelton Garden Club officially presents the
Railroad, Avenue BeautificatiOn project, compris- .
ing four full blocks of improvement along the
north side of Railroad Avenue.
The ceremonies, simple yet impressive, will
be held between two and three o'clock in front
of the postoffice. Everyone who lives in Shelton,
from the youngest school pupil through the oldest
remaining pioneer, should make it a point to Wit-
ness the ceremony.‘
It is their best way
ciation all should feel to
Garden Club, who undertook this big project after
it had been the subject of a great deal of talk but
very little action on the part of several civic
organizations.

at their command, raised the money” to carry

ance, which in itself is reason enough for every- I

4—H PHEASANT RAISERS NOW
DOING SOME ‘EGG LISTENING’
l
Twenty-one Skokomish Valley
and Deckerville 4-H Club mem-
bers are anxiously listening for
pecks and peeps these days.
They are the 21 4-H members
who have undertaken the task of
hatching 998 pheasant eggs sup-
plied to them by the State Game
Department under the annual ar-
rangement by which the club
members take the. eggs and are
paid 75 cents by the department
for each pheasant raised to ma-
turity.
‘The eggs were set on April 29,
so they should begin hatching
Vlrtually any day now, so there’s
a lot of “egg listening” going on
right now.
The members who have pheas-
ant egg settings, and the number
01 eggs taken by them, include:

ton, 50; Norene and Ronald Fer-
ris, 85; Carol and Doris Hunter,

Lee Valley is the club leader.
In most instances bantam hens
are used for the settings as they
make the better mothers and are
lighter in Weight and so less like-
1y to break the eggs. ,
Of the 998 eggs set, about 85%
are expected to hatch and from
the hatch about 50% are expect-
ed to reach maturity, or between
450 and 500 if favorable condi—
tions are encountered, which
would bring the raisers around
$300 to $350 in aggregate. The
club which has the best record of
completions also will win a $5

Inter-Club Ladies’ Night Program
Held Here Tuesday Draw's l
Capacity Audience .
Tuesday evening was Ladies"
Night for the Kiwanis Club with
an inter-club session with Ho—
quiam and Olympia and a full
house at dinner at Hotel Shel-
ton. Frank Lamb of Hoquiam
was the featured speaker on the
program on the subject of “Des—
erts,” which might appear rather
dry but was not as portrayed in
moving pictures and description
of a recent trip by Mr. and Mrs.
Lamb.
The beautiful rugged scenes in
Death Valley, the description of
its plants, flowers and birds
which have adjusted their life to
regions where only an inch or two
of rain, if any, falls during a
year illustrate how nature really
has no barren places where some—
thing of interest cannot be found
by the observer of nature.
Misses Williamson and Picker-
ing of Hoquiam, who gained su-
perior rating at the recent school
musical competition in Tacoma
for piano and French horn, fa-
vored the group with numbers.
Major E. M. Taylor and Lieut-
enant Byrle Boyce explained how
the army sham battle over this‘
region will be carried out next
August and September, and ask-
ed for cooperation of our people.
They promised as little damage
to private property, farms and
tree growth as possible. Lieut.
Boyce will be stationed in Shel-
ton for some time to meet all who
wish further information as the
time nears.

END OF SHOE
FUND; GRAND
RECORD MADE
()ver Two-Year Period $846.40 Do—
nated By Public And Or-
ganizations; Many Ben-
efits Received
Operating without the benefit
of fanfare or publicity during
this second year, the Mason Coun-
ty
fund has been balanced out and
brought to what School Supt. J.
E. Martin, the fund’s ‘Godfather,’
hopes will be a permanent con-
clusion.
Yesterday Supt. Martin, who
has handled the operation of the
fund and the distribution of foot—
wear purchased through it for
two years, announced the wind up
of the fund’s second year of op—
eration with a balance of ten cents.
During that two—year period,
donations totalling $846.40 have
been made by a generous Mason
County public, and from the fund
have been purchased for the use
of needy school children only 338
pairs of shoes, four pairs of boots,
16 pairs of tennis shoes, five pairs
of galoshes, eight pairs of gym
two pairs of socks, one
of
heels.
Average Cost $2.44
The average cost of each pair
of new shoes was $2.44, Supt. Mar-
tin figured out, while in addition
to the footgear enumerated in
the previous paragraph many
pairs of good used shoes which
were donated by the public were
distributed as well to needy chil-
dren seeking assistance through
the fund.
During the first year of the
fund’s operation, when the need
for shoes was most pressing, pub-
lic appeals for assistance were
made through the press, public
benefits were staged in several
communities, and personal let-
ters were written by Supt. Mar-
‘ tin, with the result that the stag-
gering total of $671.12 was raised.
This second year, however, the
demand was not nearly as great
and the fund was operated en-
tirely without publicity and no
public appeal for aid was made,
yet $175.28 was contributed to
the fund by interested individuals
and organizations.
Supt. Martin acknowledged
these yesterday as follows: Elec-
trical Workers Union, Local 882,
$10; Shelton Valley Dance Club,
$12; Lower Skokomish Commun-
ity, $3.28; Rainbow Mothers’
Club, $2; Skokomish Junior Wo~
men’s Club, $15; Ruby Rebekah
Lodge, $5; A Friend, $1; Eastern
Star Social Club, $5; I.B.P.S. and
P.M.VV., Local 161, $50; A Friend,
$10; J. F. Bischel, $5; Laurel
Court Social Club, $2; Shelton
ngnce Club, $20; Kiwanis Club,
$3 . .
Used Balance From First Year
The fund had a $7.26 balance
from the first year’s operation to
account for the total spent this
year. In addition, one pair of
shoes at $3.75 was charged to
the account of Frank Myers of
Shelton at his request which did
not figure in the cash total list-
ed. Supt. Martin also acknowl-
edged a $10 contribution made by
Sam B. Theler of Belfair after
the close of the fund’s operation
last year, that contribution al-
lowing the fund to have the $7.26
balance already mentioned.
The fund has been operated in
close contact with teachers of
the city and county schools, who
were able to supply reliable in-
formation on the children de—
serving assistance from the fund.
“Many. teachers have remarked
to me that shoes purchased by
this fund have greatly improved
the school attendance and the
health of children receiving them,”
Supt. Martin said, “so I feel well
satisfied the fund did an immense
amount of good. I feel, how-
ever, that the‘ need for the fund
has now been diminished, through
improved employment conditions
and other factors, to a point
where it need not be continued
next year. I wish to extend my
sincere thanks for the extremely
generous response the public has
given the fund in these two
years.”

ARCHIE BINNSTO‘
AUTOGRAPH BOOKS
A T LIBRARY FETE
Open House Program Wednesday
To Afford Literary Fans
Chance to Meet Author
By Mrs. Laura K. Plumb,
City Librarian
Regional literature is now hold-
ing the interest of the American
reader since Europe is in chaos.
Through it Americans are learn-
ing how this democracy came
about and why it has given us
the highest degree of freedom man
has ever known. The last frontier
to be tapped in this regional liter—
ature is our own beloved Pacific
Northwest. The most outstanding
author who uses this locale is
Shelton’s own famous son, Archie
Binns. Shelton will certainly be
glad to do him honor at the Open
House at the Library next Wed-
nesday evening from 7 :30 to 10.
Mr. Binn’s books “Lightship,”
“The Laurels Are Cut Down,”
“The Land Is Bright,” and “Migh-
ty, Mountain”,..have already ,held
our interest. We are looking for-
ward for his latest one not yet
here, “Northwest Gateway,” a
study of Seattle. These books will
in the future become" sourcebooks
of history. They have value be-
yond the fleeting hour. Every one
in the town and country has one
or more of them. If you wish to
add to the interest of the books
from the collector’s viewpoint, Mr.
Binns will be glad to autograph
them.
A new light has been shed upon
Mr. Binn’s success as a writer.
His wife is a writer in her own
name. This mutual interest spells
achievement. The Pacific North-
west ‘is fortunate in having as its
spokesmen these two who can in-
terpret our regional history and
our present existence so sympa-
thetically. Mrs. Binns will be
among the honored guests also.
The' numbers which the Shel-
ton Ensemble will give have not
yet been announced. This group
never fails to please. The Wom-
en’s Chorus gives in the vocal
realm the same idea of achieve-
ment for the love of the Art that
the orchestra does. Their num-
bers will be announced later also.
The community is indeed fortun-
ate to have these two organiza-
tions to call upon on public oc-
casions. You cannot afford to miss
these lovely musical numbers.
Banquet Planned To
Honor School Sr. Band
Mothers of the members of the
Shelton school senior band will
hold a committee meeting Mon-
day afternoon at 2:30 o’clock at
the home of Mrs. Robert Binns,

ord for itself this year by earning
the highest rating possible to at-
tain at both the Southwest dis-
trict and Northwest Regional mu-
sic competitions.
