The Forest Asset
*
In any forest area we have trees of all ages
and stages, seedlings, Christmas tree, large but still
growing trees, prime timber and overmature timv
ber.
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.

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. Norvold missed
reaching. his wife and family in
Shelton in time to spend Christ-
mas with them by one day, his
arrival coming December 26 after
he debarked at Fort Heumeme,
Calif, December 24 following the
trip across the Pacific from Okin-
awa.
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.

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

condition.

ery saw service in England,
France, Belgium and Germany,
and was hospitalized since Sep-
tember in France and England

intents and purposes a full-fledg-
cd civilian.

Howdy Folks: A customer gave

asked us why we never ad-

When we told her we did
advertise and showed her
an ad to prove it, she said,
“Yes, but they look so

don't you doll them up a

catch?"

That set us to thinking. May-

of a lot of ways to make the
