SUPERINTENDENT LOOP TELLS
OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG
v MEN IN UNITED STATES NAVY
Since Secretary Knox announ-
ced the enlistment drive for Un-
cle Sam's new Two—Ocean Navy
several weeks ago, many young
men have asked if they were
eligible to enlist without a high
school education.
School Superintendent H. E.‘
Loop answers this important ques-
tion for the young men of Shel-
ton.
“Navyv‘enlistees do not have
to be high school graduates," said
Superintendent Loop. “Any am-
bitious and patriotic young fol-
low Who wants to serve his coun-
try has that opportunity now by
joining the United States Navy
or Naval Reserve. Of course, he
must be of average intelligence,
good characted and be able to
pass certain physical and mental
examinations. Now, more than
ever before, the Navy needs men
of that type.
“All applicants, whether or notl
they have high school diplomas,
are given an elementary examina-
tion containing about 100. ques-
tions,” explaincd Superintendent
Loop. ‘.‘Those receiving a grade.
of 50 per cent or more satisfy
Navy educational standards.”
“Naturally, a high school edua
cation is helpful in the Navy, just
as it is in civilian life,” Super-
intendent Loop pointed out.

FORECASTERS TAKE BEATING
FROM UPSETS AND TIE GAMES;
. JIM HILLIER WINS WITH 15
Those moans of anguish, some
soft and some not, are the foot-
ball sweepstakes contestants,
neighbor.
And you’d moan, too, after the
dastardly trick the fates of foot-
ball played on them last Satur—
day, if you were a sweepstakes
competitor, or are you?
Two tie games, and upsets un—
til the cows came home, made
the Weekend a pretty sour period
for the self-confessed swamis of
the third Annual Merchants ‘
Journal football prize scramble.
It was sour to all but Jim Hill-
ier, for Jim. senior at Irene S.
Reed high school, by some amaz-
ing feat of crystal gazing, man-
aged to pick 15 winners out of
last Saturday‘s 20 sweepstakes
games and so pockets the weekly
$55 check. He missed the two
ties—Colgate-Holy Cross and
Notre Dame-Army‘ralong with
everybody else, and from there
stumbled on only three other bat-
tles, Columbia’s unlocked-for tri-
umph over Cornell, Brown's even
more stupifying upset of Yale,
and Tulane’s only partly antici-
pated victory over Vanderbilt.
Jim was all alone in the 15
mass, incidentally the lowest fig-
ure at which any of the 1941 week-
1y sweepstakes contests have be

“There are certain advantages
for the high school graduate in.
l
the Navy,” said Loop. "He has'i
a. wider background to call upon
in earning advancement in posi-
tion and pay. For example, men
who are proficient in English may
be sent to one of the Navy’s com-
munications or clerical schools.’
Recruits with a knowledge or ap-
‘titpde for handling tools might
be marked for trade or engineer-1
ing courses. Men with college
educations may qualify for mid-
shipmens’ training courses in the
Naval Reserve and after their
schooling period they will report
for active duty as officers with
the rating of ensigns.
“The Navy has four excellentl
trade schools to .which new ‘re-
cruits in either the regular Navy
or the Naval Reserve may be
sent after a training period, pro-
viding they pass entrance exam-
inations with sufficiently high
grades. At these schools they
will be trained in any one of near-
ly fifty skilled trades or vocations
to which their aptitudes suit them
and will receive free schooling
valued at hundreds of dollars in
addition to their regular Navy
pay. Such an education is val-
uable for advancement in the
Navy and in later civilian life,”
he concluded.

Featured At Library?
Displays Center Aroundi
Different Types of Literature
For Various Reading Tastes '
Book Week is here to pay its
rary.
Displays calling attention to the
presence of Book Week have been
arranged by Mrs. Laura K.
Plumb, librarian, and her staff
and all patrons of the library are
urged to come in this week and
see them.
One table, for instance, features
literature on hobbies. On this table
is a beautiful wood carving made
by an anonomous Mason County
man who has fashioned with his
pocket knife an unbroken chain
and several birds which have
been brightly colored.
On the same table will be fea-
tured a copy of the Stanford Uni-
versity annual, Quad, for 1941
which was edited by Charles Run-
acres, now auditor for the Olym—
pic Plywood plant. The volume is
one of the finest college annuals
and celebrates the 50th anniver-
sary of the founding of Leland
Stanford University.
Different Types of Displays
Other table displays feature
children’s books, adult literature,
“Know Your Country" reading,
selected reading, etc. The latter
is mainly junior literary guild
books suited to reading according
to age and grade in school for
children.
The juvenile' table features a
I
.display of the Book Tree Club,
annual summer reading club for
younger children conducted by the
Shelton Library. A large tree with
a leaf for every member of the
club. and the certificates earned
by the Book Tree club members
are featured on this table.
.A couple of volumes given spe-
c1al display in the Book Week ex-
hibit at the library are two of
Stewart Holbrook’s latest crea-
tions, “Tall Timber," a history of
the lumbering industry for juv-
enile reading and “Murder Out
Yonder,” a factual history of rural
crimes for adult reading which
the author wrote "to give rural
crimes their just deserts. I feel
that the back country folks use
more imagination and a finer sense
of drama than most city slickers
in committing crimes,” Mr. Hol-
brook writes in the fly-leaf intro-
duction.
The library has been distribut-
ing Book Week markers for some
time and will continue to do so
throughout Book Week as long as
the supply lasts, Mrs. Plumb said.
The juvenile table with the
Book Tree Club exhibit will be
kept on display for an additional
week or two after the close of
Book Week, Mrs. Plumb added.

Lighted Streets
Planned For This
Christmas Season
Shelton’s street decorations for
the raPIdIY'approaching Christmas
season will reach a new high,
plans formed by the retail trade
committee indicated today. Sev-
erai new features are included in
the plans to make Shelton a bright
spot on the Christmas mall
The job of erecting the deco-
rations will again be done by
Lewis Mobbs of Olympia, whose
work locally the past three years
has been highly commended by
everyone.
New details planned by the com-
mittee include the purchase of
regular outdoor colored lights to
be strung at the intersections. The
use of colored lights as part of
the town‘s decorating is a new
phase in the Christmas promotion.
Another change will be through
the decorating of the store fronts
themselves. In the past the com~
mittee has concerned itself only
with erecting decorations along
the sidewalks and across the in-
tersections, leaving the store
fronts for owners to worry about.
It was felt by the committee that
by decorating the buildings a more
uniform effect would be achieved.
The committee also pointed out,
through Chairman Mark Pickens,
that building owners who have
strings of colored lights should
let Mr. Mobbs know when he
starts decorating their buildings
as he has promised to include
such lights in his decorating
scheme at no cost to the prop;
rietors.
Due to the early action of the
trade committee in regard to dec-
orations, the job will be completed
by December 1. according to Mr.
Mobbs‘ schedule.

SHEITON WEATHER
BESTS GRAPEVIEWI
“DURING OCTOBER
Less Rain, More Clear Days Here
For Once; Grape Area Com-
pletely Clouded Over
Better crow now, Sheltonians,
for its one of the few oppor-
tunities you’ll find where Shelton
weather has had the edge on
Grapeview’s.
October weather statistics sub-
mitted yesterday by Observers
Walt Eckert at Grapeview and
Bernhard Winiecki here at Shel—
ton show that:
1. Shelton had two more clear
days than Grapeview; 2. Shelton
had two-hundredths of an in. less
rain than its easterly neighbor.
By way of explanation, in or-
der, Shelton had two more clear
days than Grapeview despite the
fact that Shelton had exactly
two clear days. Grapeview didn‘t
have any, for the first time in
its memory, relates Mr. Eckert.
And secondly, Shelton had a
rain total for the month of 2.76
inches against Grapeview's 2.78
inches, the two monthly reports
reveal.
Grapeview might turn right
around, however, and offset Shel-
ton’s two points for chest swell-
ing by pointing out that it had
warmer temperature extremes
than Shelton and also fewer days
on which rain fell during the
month. By comparison, Shelton's
warmest temperature of the
month was 69 degrees, reached
on the 14th and Grapeview had
70 degrees the same date, while
Sheltons coldest reading was 36
degrees on the 20th against 41
degrees as Grapeview’s chilliest
on the 29th. Shelton had rain
on 13 days, Grapeview eleven;
Shelton’s heaviest 24-hour fall,
was 0.53 inches on the 10th,
Grapevi‘ew's 0.64 inches the same
date.
As far as Shelton is concerned,
the past month was one of the
I
I
The 2.76 inch total
is less than
half the normal October rain in
this area, Weatherman Winiecki's
records show. A normal October
would bring 5.70 inches, he says.
That leaves 1941 with only 33.18
inches of rain in its first ten
months, so unless the final two
months bring more than 15 in-
ches of precipitation a new rec-
ord for lack of rain will be es-
tablished at the Shelton weather
station. The record dry year at
present was 1938 when only 48.66
inches of rain fell. The normal
annual rain here is 62.25 inches,
the Rayonier weather bureau rec-
ords say.

ARIEISTICE DAY
OBSERVANCE IS
PLANNED HERE
Shelton Retail Stores Not Closing
This Year; V.F.W. Ball, Le-
gion Breakfast, Auxil-
iary Ilanl..Dinner, Grid
Game Billed
Plans for Shelton’s annual cele-_
bration of Armistice Day, which
comes next Tuesday, have been
include new
features this year. .
First of the celebratory events
will be the 12th annual Veterans
of Foreign ‘Wars Armistice Ball,
scheduled at Schneiders Prairie
for- next Saturday evening. The
public is invited.
On the big day itself, which is
a national holiday, the annual
American Legion breakfast will
be held in the Shelton Hotel at
nine o'clock, with special elevon
o’clock services in honor of the
war dead. Only Legionnaires are
invited to the breakfast.
At two o‘clock the annual Arm-
istice Day football game between
Shelton and Bellarmine high
schools will be fought on Loop
Field, while in the evening‘ a
double-barreled program in which
the public is invited to join with
war veterans is scheduled.
'First is the annual popular
baked ham dinner put on by the
American Legion Auxiliary in
Memorial Hall, following which
,the Legion post will sponsor a.
dance to take the place of the.
Armistice Ball it has given for
many years past.
Shelton retail stores, by a close
vote, last week, elected to re-
main open this year on Armistice
Day, following similar action at
Olympia, Tacoma and Seattle. For
several years past local stores
have closed, although industrial
plants here have never observed
the; holiday. However, war vet-
erans who wished to have gen-
erally been permitted to take the
day off.
Being a national holiday, Arm-
istice will be observed by such
public institutions as the. bank,
postoffice, city hall, courthouse,
