From a commercial standpoint trees should be harvested when their period of fastest growth has ended but before termites and rot have set in. We do ,not think of our national grain re- sources in terms of the bushels that may be in the warehouses but on the baSlS of the country’s ability to produce a regular crop of grain. Similarly the stands of mature trees are not the real forest asset. Rather, it is the timber-groWing area which is producing or is capable of producing succeeding crops of trees. In other words, we must consider our forest assets, not in terms of standing timber in the “storehouse” today, but in terms of ‘contin- uation fer generations to come. Accordingly, this Company, while harvesting for today’s needs, is also maintaining its Tree Farm for growing timber for coming generations. SIMPSON IOGGING 00. SHELTON MCCLEARY I firm Wag; u. .m... officer aboard his destroyer dur- ing his many months at sea, dur- ing which he went thru much of the early action in the Pacific when the American navy was very badly outnumbered and when de- stroyers were called upon for ev— ery kind of duty including that usually reserved for battleships, and when destroyers were so scarce they were ordered to hold their positions as long as they could float. _ Temporarily located at his fam- ily home in Hoquiam, Gabrielson is uncertain yet just what his civ- ilian position will be. SHELTON SAILOR ABOARD BATTLESHIP WEST VIRGINIA On the USS West Virginia~ Vernon E. Marshall, seaman first class, of 901 Cascade Ave., Shel- ton, is serving on this battleship, which has changed from a fight- ing ship to a passenger liner in the Navy’s program to speed ser- vicemen home. The West Virginia, which blast- ed the enemy in five campaigns, by December 15 had carried 7,500 veterans from Pacific bases to the United States in her role as a unit in the “Magic Carpet” fleet. Badly damaged at Pearl Har- bor, the battleship came back to fight at Leyte, Surigao Strait, Mindoro, Luzon, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. She was the only Pearl Harbor victim present for Jap- an’s surrender in Tokyo Bay. DR. NORVOLD ARRIVES HOME DAY AFTER XMAS Lt.—Cmdr. R. w.

Dr. Norvold served two years in the Navy medical department as a. dentist and has been in the Pa- cific since last Easter with the 160th and 158th Construction Bat- talions on Ie Shima and Okin- awa. He is now looking for office space in Shelton in hopes of open- ing a dental practice here. SHELTON-MASON COUNTY JOURNAL l batteries control tower with three lSHELTON BOY ASSIGNED TO LUCKY DESTROYER On the USS Boyle—Percy Jo- seph Knox, watertender, first class, Shelton, Wash, is serving on this destroyer of the Pacific Fleet. Running out of fuel the night of November 5, 1943, proved to be the best luck the Boyle saw during her three years afloat. While on convoy duty off Algiers, the Boyle dropped out to refuel and the U SS Beatty took her screening sta- tion. A few hours later the Beatty and two large transports were hit by German aerial torpedoes, and sank within 24 hours. Her luck continued during the invasion of southern France when, zigzagging into a bay before Can- nes, she razed the enemy shore rapid fire salvos. Eight consecutive times she was straddled by a three-gun bat- tery, but she withdrew safely with only one minor wound received by personnel aboard. For this action the commanding admiral sent the message: “To Boyle——well done." The Boyle was transferred to the Pacific shortly before the war‘s end. CLYDE AVERY BACK FROM EUROPEAN DUTY Pfc. Clyde Avery reached Fort Lewis New Year's Day after a trip homeward which started in Germany and was delayed by storms making the ocean trip sev- eral days longer than scheduled and delayed across-country by civilian travel which kept him on the road ten days longer than necessary despite his hospitalized condition.
