Shelton’s Biggest Christmas
This week the merchants of Shelton, like those
all over the nation, are offering their wares in good
times for early Christmas shoppers, and extending a
warning that while the stores are filled with staple
and fancy goods for gift—giving at normal prices thoy
may be shorter as the season advances and by Chris‘—
calls.
It is always good judgment to commence early
that are needed for gifts
and leave to the last minute rush only that which has
been overlooked, and this year it is wisdom to
early for family and gift needs because dealers
buy
and
public are warned that many items will be short and
that wholesale prices in general are increasing
retail prices must follow.
and
This year has been a good one in Shelton with all
its industries humming and
in the last half of the year,
funds to supply their needs
its workers losing no time
insuring them with ample
of necessity or luxury, and
when the trade rush really starts retail stocks on hand
must go down fast; all of which promises the biggest
holiday trade in Shelton’s history and merchants will
make the most of the next 23 days until Christmas to
encourage home trading, and let the future take care
of itself.

Biggest Yule Volume Due
Santa’s Saturday visit will

Early Christmas buying is al-

stores and has brought big
crowds of shoppers into town
the past couple of weekends.
Stocks in practically all lines
of gift goods are not only com-
plete but are also much larger
than in previous years here. Al-

Stores handling toys are fea-

defense work and priorities was

toys, naturally, are the fad this
year, although other types of
games and children's articles still
come in for plenty of attention.

Of course, the Mason County

housekeepers are already placing
their orders for turkeys. geese,

Toy Renovator ‘
Not Busy Enough
To Satisfy Him
Don’t tell us there aren’t any ,
old discarded, broken and no 1
longer wanted toys in Mason
County?
If one were to judge by the
small number of such articles 1
which have been turned over
to Ora. Spencer’s toy renova— 1
tion project so far that is the
conclusion one would be forced i
to assume.
But it’s mighty hard to be- :
lieve. Surely there must be ‘
quite a large number of old
toys kicking around the closets,
basements and attics of Ma—
son County homes—some brok—
on, some discarded, some just
forgotten and no longer do— i
sired as playthings by their '
owners.
They aren’t bringing any joy
to their present possessors, but
they could bring a. heap of hap—
piness to children in Mason
County homes whoso lot hasn’t
been any too fortunate of late.
So take a look around, Mom '
and Pop and Sonny, see if you
can’t locate a couple of old toys
no longer being used in your
home and bring them down to
Ora Spencer in the Social Se—
curity building. He will take
out the dents, patch the broken
parts. dob on a bit of paint
and you won’t hardly be able
to tell them from new. Then
he‘ll see that they reach kid-
dies to whom they’ll bring a lot

Mason County recechd a ship—

bearing the familiar X identifying
letter, plus 650 sets of truck plates
and 250 sets of trailer plates,
these also bearing the county iden-

The number of private vehicle
plates is a new record for Mason
County, but after this county had
re—ordered twice on its 1941 plates,
of which 3272 sets Were sold, state
officials allotted an extra large
number to Mason County for 1942
in the hope it would not be nec-

The 1942 plates are the reverse

that city police and the sheriff's
office are conducting a vigorous
investigation to uncover the cul-
prits, and at the same time Man-
ager E. W. Johnson of Public
Utility District No. 3. whose
property is involved in the depre-
dations. has put up a $5 cash re-
ward for information leading to
the apprehension of the wrong—
doers. ,
Mayor William Stevenson has
issued instructions to Police Chief
Andy Hansen to spare no effort
to locate the guilty persons and
promised that punishment would
be severe to those found to be
guilty of the damage. Confisca-
tion of the guns will be. just the
'beginning of the punishment, Po-
lice Chief Hansen said.
28 Lights Out One Night
Manager Johnson produced a job
order sheet he had issued last
Monday to his crew showing the
location of 28 different street
lights which had been shot out
over the weekend by B-B guns.
and Tuesday brought in a. glass
meter casing which had been pep-
pered so thoroughly with B-B
shots that it was split in two
and partly pulverized. Six B-B
shots had lodged inside the broken
easing, probably three times that
many had hit it.
“We have been replacing an av-
erage of a half dozen street lights
a day lately,” he said. “but the
thing has grown so bad that some-
thing drastic has to be done to
curb this damage to public prop-
erty. That job order I gave one
of our men Monday cost the
public roughly $15, figuring a
half day at $1 an hour to the
workman, the cost of the lights
we had to replace. and the use of
a truck for a half day to accom-
plish the replacements. Then this
meter casing itself is worth
around $5 to say nothing of the
damage to the meter inside, which
is worth between $15 and $20."
Public’s Help Asked
Parents of children who own air
[rifles are asked to cooperate with
the authorities in curbing a prac-
tice which is getting out—of—hand
rapidly, and anyone having infor-
mation which would lead to lo-
cating the guilty persons is re-‘
quested to“ notify Police Chief E
Hansen or Sheriff Gene Martin.
Serious accidents, it was point-
ed out by Manager Johnson, can
result from the absence of street
lights, and lawsuits against the
city could easily result from the
act of extinguishing a street light.
all of which has to be paid out
of the taxpayers' pocket, which
everyone will agree is being tap-
ped painfully hard already.
