Salmon Sickness ’

l
l
Danger Your Dog '
Faces At Present 1
Tragedy was enacted in Shel-
ton’s business district this
morning, a canine tragedy which
should serve as a warning to
all dog owners who love their
pets.
A small black dog had to be
dispatched by a bullet from P0-
lico (Illiel’ Andy Hanson’s gun
because the little' dog had in-
dulged, as dogs allowed to wan~
dcr loose sometimes will, in a
feast of (ll-ad salmon.
The little. dog was suffering
from an acute case of salmon
sickness, from which their is no
relief, veterinarians say. Froth—
ing at the mouth, running blind-
ly in circles from pain. the un-
fortunate nnimal got too close, ,
lo the railroad tracks and had
one paw crushed by a passing
logging train.
So. all you dog owners, if
you wish to avoid similar trag—
edy to your lovod pct, do him
a big favor and keep him strict—
ly under your thumb until that
annqu Seasonal danger from
dead salmon is over.
The salmon are now running
up the creeks and streams to
spawn, after which they die
and lodge on the banks to be
tempting morsels to dogs who
happen upon them.

Charlie might be a bit spit"de
if you came right out and called
him a gigolo, but the evidence
“agin” him is at least sufficient
to earn him the. nom—tle-plulne of
“ladies’ man.”
He‘d have a hard time convinc-
ing a jury otherwise now, after
three years of what he’s been
doing. It's perfectly harmless, in
fact it’s pretty doggone cute, but
all the same, it definitely makes
Charlie a. “ladies’ man.”
Dog-gone cute, too, is just the
word in describing Charlie’s ac-
tions, for Charlie, you see, is a
dog. His mother was a full
blooded rocker spaniel, his father
a small black shepherd. Charlie.
belongs to Dan Bennett, who
doctors the aches and pains which
Prof. Loop's school busscs de—
vclop.
Charlie‘s right name is Skip,
but somewhere along the line he
picked up his new name. maybe
because he has a few of the char-
‘ acteristirs of a “good time Char-
lie."
He’s A Girl Convoycr
Anyuav, lle’s Charlie to tho
scores of girls hc‘cscorts each
school day to and from their gym
classes. Almost since the first
day the Bennetts took Charlie,
pardon, Skip, into their house-
hold he began accompanving the
girls in junior and senior high
physical education classes on their
rather lengthv rambles between
their school buildings and the
gymnasium.
Charlie, er, Skip. doesn’t pay
any attention to the boys who
also have gym classes, nor does
he so much as look at other
dogs or even take time out to
chase cats or cars While he is
attending to his duties of convoy—
ing his girl friends. Charlie‘s
heart is 100% true to his girl
friends. even tho’ he numbers
them in the hundreds, and he’s
probably caninely proud of the
fact that he hasn’t lost a Single
unit from his many convoys yet.
Has It Down Pat
Pronptly every morning, every
school morning, that is, because
Saturdays and Sundays don’t fool
him a bit, Charlie is waiting on
the front steps of either the jun-
ior or senior high school, he knows
which morning to be where, to
escort the girls to the gym. He
waits there until their classes are
over and escorts them back to
school again. And he knows ex-
actly when the junior high girls
are through at the gym and the
senior high girls start, for when
that moment comes he races mad-
ly from one school to the other
so he won’t miss a trip.
, And he hasn’t missed one in
three years now, either. Charlie
takes his duties so seriously that
if his lunch is a little late. yes,
he reports home promptly each
noon, he’ll leave it uneaten so he
won’t be tardy for his first after-
noon convoy.
When the girls switched their
P.E. classes to the new gym early
this school term Charlie quickly
adjusted himself to the new or-
der. The only things that puzzle
him are holidays and temporary
switches ill class schedules. You
could hardly expect him to know
about. such things.

Maybe you thought memorizing
all those dates in your history
classes was bothersome, but you
didn’t have anything on today‘s
sportsmen.
Right at this time of year it
behooves the active nimrod to
keep his wits about him, else he’s
liable to find himself shooting at
some prey which he shouldn’t.
Just for instance, the skip—date
upland bird season which the
Game Commission has been set-
ting the past several years keeps
a hunter hopping to keep straight.
He has to watch his dates mighty
closely or he’s likely to be shoot-
ing on a closed Saturday or a
closed Monday. Last weekend,
for instanCe, the open dates were
Saturday and Sunday, but this
coming weekend they’re Sunday
and Monday. And that's how it
goes. He only knows for sure
that Sundays and Wednesdays are
consistently eligible shooting dates
during the upland bird season,
but those Saturdays and Mondays
are the trapdoors he has to watch
out for. '
Some Start, Some Stop
Another thing Mr. Nimrod has
to keep close check on right now
is the opening of new seasons
and the closing of others. Last
Sunday the deer season closed,
this Friday the fresh water fish-
ing and the squirrel hunting sea-
sons come to an end.
Then next Sunday the elk sea-
son opens.
And currently, the migratory
waterfowl, bear and rabbit, hunt-
ing seasons are still in full swing,
while the upland bird season still
has five of its eleven jump dates
yet to.go, giving the sportsman
quite a noggin-full of dates and
regulations to juggle into proper

Leading the pack are Lobert

63 points out of a possible 80,

made their soothsaying pay off
with $5 checks on single occas-

62 points, while 14 others have
totals of 60 or 61.
At the halfway post there are
still 86 forecasters who have not
missed more than one week in the
sweepstakes and are therefore
still eligible to continue the quest
for the three sweepstakes cash
prizes of $25, $15 and $10.
Of those 86 eligibles at this
point, 66 have scored 55 points

,three sweepstakes awards. This
doesn’t mean those below 55 points
still haven’t a chance to rally in-

Tight Football Struggle
Hiclimbers Meet
Monte Saturday
At; Loop Field
Injuries which will keep sev-
eral regulars on the sidelines
or below par for actual play
have reduced much of the hopes
the Shelton Highclimbers held
of posting their first football
victory of the season next Sat-
urday when they entertain the
Montesano Bulldogs on Loop
Field. '
The kickoff is scheduled for
2:30 o’clock. Neither the Bull-
dogs nor the Highclimbers have
. been able to ring up a victory
this season to date.
Coach Walt Hakola said last
l night he has been forced to
shift Donn Nelson, starting
tackle, for most of the season
to an end post to help out the

FOOD STAMPS TO BE,
PURCHASED THRUI
‘MAlI. HEREAFTER
Shelton Office Closed After Yes-
terday’s Business; Orders Go-
ing Thru Thurston Co.
Effective yesterday, the Shel-
ton office for distribution of
food stamps under the Surplus
'Marketing Administration was
closed and hereafter Mason Coun-
ty participants in the food
stamp plan will have to order
their stamps by mail from the
Thurston County food stamp of-
fice, Mason County Welfare Ad-
ministrator Glen Ratcliff announ-
ced to‘day. , '
The food stamp plan was placed
in operation in Mason County late
last November and in the inter-
vening period a. total of $34,654
in cash has been spent by eligible
participants in the plans, for
which they received food stamps
with redeemable cash value to-
talling $55,081, the county wel-
fare department’s records show.
Under the fool stamp plan half
the value of the actual cash paid
for the stamps is added in free
blue stamps which are redeem-
able in certain specified “surplus’f
foods, thus increasing the pur-
chasing power of stamp plan par-
ticipants by 50 per cent. Thus
during the nearly one year the
local food stamp office was op-
erated a total of , $17,327 in value
was added to the sum' the par-
ticipants actually paid in cash for
the stamps.
Closing of the Shelton stamp
office does not terminate opera-
tion of the plan in Mason County,
it merely means that local par-
ticipants must hereafter go to the
Thurston county office or order
from that point by mail to re—
ceive their food stamps. Mail or-
ders must be either in U. S. pos-
tal money order or certified cash-
ier’s checks, Administrator Rat-
cliff said, as the Surplus Mar-
keting Administration rules strict-
ly forbid personal checks and
loose currency being submitted
by mail for food stamps.
The peak month during the
operation the food stamp plan in
Mason County so far was last
April, when $3,804 actual cash, or
$5,706 in redeemable value in
stamps were issued through the
Shelton office to Mason County
participants. During the month
just closed the total cash paid
was $2557, or stamps redeemable
for $5335.50 in actual value, the
stamp office records show.

capacity for administering to pa-
tients to 54 adult beds is now
ready for use, Miss Zella Deeny,
superintendent, announced today.
The new unit will be a step
and energy saver for nurses with
its compactness. lSituated on the
ground floor of the last addition
to the main hospital building, the
new unit also takes up the space
formerly used as a driveway for
the ambulance.
The ambulance still has an en-
trance but it is now enclosed and
will be supplied with chairs and
benches for patients to sit or
recline upon until transferred to
their beds. Thi sis on the north
side of the new unit. Off the
ambulance entrance to the east
and south is a new lab, fully equip-
ped, and at the southwest corner
of the ambulance entrance a
dumb waiter from the kitchen will
serve the new unit.
Step, Energy V Conserver'
Getting into the ground floor
proper of the last addition are
two rooms equipped with four pa-
tient beds each and with each
bed in a cubicle of its own, giving
more privacy than the wards
without having private rooms. Be-
tween the two rooms are a utility
room, a diet kitchen and a bath-
room. I
Up in the main building other
improvements have been made,
also. The space on the main
floor formerly used for the drug
room. or pharmacy, has been
made over into a nurses’ station
with signal lights for all depart-
mentS\of the hospital, and this
station has been made accessible
to the main office by a large
window.
Pharmacy Moved
The drug room has been moved
across and down the ball into
space just off the diet kitchen
which was formerly used for
shelves and storage.
A new shower and toilet room
has been installed in the men’s
ward, a. long needed improvement.
Venetian blinds for the men’s
ward and the lab in the new unit
have been donated by an anoni-
mous contributor, as was also
all the work of fixing up the
new nurses’ station.
Effective November 1, a new
schedule ‘of rates will go into
effect at Shelton Hospital, Miss

new schedule. will show a slight
increase in rates for all depart-
ments of the hospital’s operation,

Schedule Still Lower .
However, in view of rising costs,
the board of tr'us‘tees of the Shel-
ton Hospital Ass’n at its last
meeting felt justified in adopting
the slightly increased schedule,
which call for a flat rate on ob-
streptical treatments and small
increases in room rates. All hos-
pital bills are payable in ad-
vance, the board also pointed out
in setting the new schedule.
Shelton Hospital is continuing
its practice of giving tuberculin

thanks to facilities supplied the

Tuberculosis League, Miss Deeny
pointed out. Shelton Hospital is
the only one in the U. S. giving
this service at the present time,
she added.
