SHELTON DOES ITS BIT FOR THE ARMY
Shelton has been doing its best to entertain
and care for the soldier boys who have had a brief
respite from their duties and a little time to kill
around town and the facilities of its schools now
in vacation have been turned over to the boys
who have enjoyed shower baths after a few days
dodging around the roads and in the brush. ,
The city’s water mains have been in good“
use for the army is particular about the water
and foods and the average small city is lacking
in water and bath facilities when it comes to an
army passing by; the officers and men have ap-l
preciated this service, as well as what the ladies!
are doing to furnish reading, rest and writing fa-1
cilities.
While the maneuvers of the army with its
multitude of trucks and equipment have taxedI
the highways and county roads as well as the city]
services, coming without advance notice or anyl
idea of its magnitude, the period of congested
traffic has been without accident or annoyance;
Shelton agrees that the'army boys are a fine bunch
of men and will be glad to have them come this
way again, in practice but not the real thing,

APPEAL TO OUR BETTER NATURE
The showing of fruit, flower and domestic art
at the school gym lastwweekend failed to receive
the interest and attendance that it merited be-
cause of the great variety of showing and the
proof that in quality Mason County has muchtoi
be proud of, and those who devote their time to
the better and brighter things of life deserve bet-
ter reward.
In many communities the old-time fair is com-
ing back in a’ small way, and not intended to com-
pete with the big Western Washington Fair, but
its best purpose is to create new ideas and newl
things for their own satisfaction, and to prove
that Mason County‘ can do all this for the benefit
of newcomers.
The Garden Club, 4-H Clubs and community
Granges all deserve credit for their efforts as in-
dividuals to present the community‘in its best
light, whether in product of the soil or of wo-
men’s handiwork; for whatever the worries or
distractions from the better things at least every-
body appreciates living among surroundings that
appeal to our better nature.
PEOPLE DENIED “ABUNDANT LIFE”
The government which has encouraged in-l
stallment buying until a great system has grown'
up reaching probably fifty per cent of all heavy
goods purchasing of today, now clamps down on
this “American plan’} with severe restrictions af-l
ter September first.
It is not easy to see the advantage, although.
it will be agreed that the dollar-down, dollar-a-
week system has gotten many people in deep
water, but at least it has made possible the “more
abundant life” to a great body of people who oth-
erwise must go Without“ many privilegs.
This would put a severe and more or less
needless “crimp” on business and employment and
installment buyers who as a class depend on wag-
es and moderate income; who are small if any in-
come taxpayers, and whose savings are not likely
to swell bonds and savings stamps sales.
But if business in the so-cal ed luxury class,
such as automobiles, refrigeratOrs and other
household conveniences, radiOs, heating units,
household goods and the like, and even home'-
building, must demand more down with 18
months limit, it will be seen that new hardships
will be put upon the people and on business along
with higher taxes on everybody; all designed ti
“put‘the fear” in the people while no such eco
nomies are practiced in any branch of the gov
ernment. All of which doesn’t make sense 0}
build American confidence.

ran to a total of over three and one-half billion
dollars. Of that staggering sum, a little more
than one and one—half billions were paid in bene-
fits. The rest of the total went to excess levies,
or something, thereby leaving the taxpayer to

NO Excuse For
Unemployment

There is no need for anyone to
be out of employment at this time,
according to Alice Helenius, Man-
ager of the local State Employ.

she says and Wages and workingi

tically all cases. A representative
of the Olympia office can be con-
tacted each Tuesday at the Court-
house in Shelton. The following
jobs are open at the present time.
Hop pickers are urgently need-

heavy crop this year and are pay-
ing better wages than they have
for some time. Most of the grow—
ers furnish cabins and in some
instances food supplies can be
purchased on the premises. Per-
sons interested in picking should
contact the Employment Office
immediately. ,

age who can drive a car and who
