In order to get the necessary
birds needed the government has
started “The Congress of Ameri—
can Pigeon Fanciers.” Perhaps
' the most important feature of this
iorganization is to sell complete
lofts for a lower price than they
could be purchased if all the
material would be bought Sep—
arately. This organization plans
to have 100,000 new fanciers with-
in one year. Another feature is to
give the fanciers access to in—
formation so that our birds will
be of the same quality and racing
ability as those of the Army. This
gives the government the right
to buy any bird it feels will be
necessary to defense.
It also will register the pedi-
grees of the birds that their
ancestry can be proven. This will
add much more value to the bird
because there is no chance of
“faking” the pedigrees. The sec-
retary of .the Shelton club was

was asked to have it published.

Restyled for

The new Pontiac cars for 1942!
which dealers have been receiving;
and which have been seen on the!
streets will be announced official-l
ly Tuesday. September 23.
Although this is a year when
improvements are least expected,
Pontiac engineers and production'
men have restyled the appearance
and added several worthwhile me-l
chanical improvements to produce,
a line of cars for 1942 that are'
worthy successors to the greatest,
year in Pontiac history.
Styling which Pontiac introduc-l
ed two years ago with great suc-'
cess is continued in a fleet of two.
basic lines of models~the Torpe—,
do with seven body models on the
119 inch wheelbase chassis and the j
Streamliner, with two bodies on!
the 122 inch wheelbase chassis.
Also there are two Streamliner—
Chieftain n’iodels with several add-
ed style features.
l
In the matter of material sub-
stitutions Pontiac has been parti-
cularly fortunate where substitu-
tions count most in performance.
This is notably true with the elec- ,
tro—plated iron alloy pistons which '
obviously will be continued after_
sixteen years of continuous use in
all Pontiac engines. I
For the eighth year the "Silver?
Streak" continues as the most
striking Pontiac indentification. !
There is a more generous use of
plastics for decorative and orna-
mental purposes, while a new andl
attractive copper finish appears on
the instrument panel, radio grillel
and clock replacing the chromium.
plate of former years.
Without change in wheelbases,l
styling experts have increased the i
all around impression of greater
siZe by only slightly increasingi
the overall length and re-balanc-i
ing the front end design appear—g
ance-wxse.
From the front the greater mass
effect is produced by making the
front bumpers four inches wider;
spacing the headlamps ten inchesl
farther apart; by redesigning thel
radiator grille and making it ninei
inches wider; by longer, horizontal ;
parking lights, and by broadeningr
the nose of the hood two inches on 1
the Torpedo and three inches on,
the Streamliner. !
Lengthwise, the styling is accen- l
tuated by making the front fend-l
ers 50 per cent longer, sweeping
them back midway into the doors.
Added to this is the horizontal,
triple-ribbed front fender reinforc-
ing heads, twice as long as last
year, continuing across the rear
lfenders both fore and aft of the
wheel openings.
Although actual overall length
is increased only three inches, this
artistic arrangement of masses
and lines cleverly multiplies the
increase.
A rich brown mahOgany swirl
finishes the surface of instrument
boards,. garnish mouldings and
door panels. .Burma-copper with
chrome trim is the finish used on
the radio grille at the center of
the instrument board, the dials on
the new instrument panel at the
left and the electric clock at the
right.‘ Below the radio grille is a
central ash tray with plastic han-
dle. Plastic numerals illuminated
with “edge lighting” at night ad-

Lawn Renovation
It is discouraging to a home
owner to find that his or her'
lawn is gradually looking worse
and that some drastic renovationl
must be done. Sometimes, if the
condition becomes very bad, the
whole area must be spaded up and
a new lawn constructed from the;
bottom up. Most often this eX-l
treme treatment can be averted,l
even though the soil beneath the
original grass was not prepared
correctly at the beginning.
Of course all of us have seen
lovely greens on any number of
golf courses. We have all wished
at one time or another that our
lawns could look like them. And,
logically, we can greatly improve
grass areas by putting into prac-
tice some of the things that have
become routine to the greenkeep—
er. He fertilizcs and waters reg-
ularlyeeand we can do that; he
top-dre s the greens and 'spikes’
them too—and these things we
can do even though they are a
bit more difficult than the first
two.
You should try to visualize your
lawn as something that is not
static. It changes and the golf'
green changesseven over short
periods of time. The change may
be for the better or for the
worse depending upon what you
do to the grass. Take the mat-
ter of ‘spiking’ as mentioned ab-
ove. What does it do to help the
lawn? It does several things; first
it helps aerate the soil, and the
grass roots and soil bacteria need
oxygen; second, it permits water
and dissolved fertilizer elements
to sink down more readily; and
third; it permits the roots to pen-
etrate easier to the lower areas
where they can resist drought bet-
ter. Although you may not have
access to the special type of
‘spiker’ that the greenskeeper us-
es you can accomplish the same
thing by hand. There are special
garden tools available for that
very purpose. Or, if you find
them unavailable, you can employ
an ordinary garden-digging fork
or even a spade. By piercing
through the existing sod and forc- '
ing the tines or the blade downl
six or eight inches, and then by,
prying back easily on the handleI
you will loosen the lower soils,
without disrupting the growing,
grass too much. If this operation>
leaves the Surface too bumpy and;
irregular, I like to level it byg
pressing lightly with the head off
a rake—not by patting it down'
heavily with the spade. At this:
point you will do well to add al
top dressing of good, light soil to!
which fertilizer has been added.’
If it is necessary, new grass seed!
can now be sown on the thin or
bare areas before watering is;
done.
These practices of hand-spiking,
top—dressing, fertilizing, reseeding,l
and watering, if they are followed,
consistently each season, will help
create the deep, soft, heavy mat of .
grass that we all want aroundl

has the best wishes of Governor
Arthur B. Langlie, who made a
statement to the press today.
“I am glad to see another step
being taken by those interested
in forestry, toward the reforesta—
tion of our cutover lands,” the
Governor said. “The cooperative
effort in the Nisqually area en-
into by the West Coast
Lumbermen’s Association and oth-
er cooperating groups, is another
progress in conservation.
“Fir trees grow rapidly when
once started, and re-seed them-
selves. This new effort, together
with other things that can be
done in the future, is a salutary
effort toward the perpetuation of
this great natural resource."

would be far too expensive fol"
anyone to buy, to plant on the
thousands of acres of fire-devast-
ed land. So, the lumbermen are
to grow their own stock and plant
it.
“The State Division of Forestry
heartily approves of this move on
the part of private industry. It
is another indication that lumber-
men are taking a constructiVe.

hunt during the pro—season con-
trolled hunting seasons are ex—
pected to start pouring in to
State Game Department head-
quarters now that the big game
seals are available. Anyone
who did not kill a deer or elk
during the 1940 season, w ho
holds a 194] big game seal and
a hunting license is eligible. '
Game officials point out, how—
ever, that persons who bag a
deer or elk during the con-
trolled—hul'liing seasons w h i c h
precede the regular 1941 hunt-
ing season will lose their chance
to hunt during the regular sea—
son. State law provides that
a. person may take only one
deer or elk in any one year.
Incidentally, the doc area in Ma-
son County has been eliminated
from the 1941 deer hunting sea-
son regulations after a. two—year
trial. The controlled hunting
areas mentioned above are par-
tially taking the place of the doe
areas of the state as hey did
not work out exactly as antici-
pated. Rather than thinning out
the deer in congested areas as thel
game department had hoped it
tended more to thin out the hunt-
ers and greatly increased the haz—.
ards of hunting in those areas.

ONE FOR RIPLEY
And speaking of deer, this
scribe mot Guy Barnum, Kitsap
County game protector, at Hoods-
port during last night‘s bomber
search and heard him tell one for
Bob Ripley’s “Believe—It—Or—Not.”
Barnum said he recently had a
case where a horse kicked a
deer to death. Seems that a.
big four-point, ZOO-pound buck
has been ranging with a few
horses belonging to a‘Kitsap
County farmer and had been
annoying a. young colt by prod—
ding it in the flanks with his
antlers.
