OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
John Musgrave
Killed In Camp
Three Accident
John Musgrave, 34, faller for
the Simpson Logging company,
was killed this afternoon in a
woods accident at Camp 3. No
details of the tragedy were
available as The Journal went to
press this afternoon.
The death is the first fatality
of 1941 in Mason County and
the first in Simpson Logging
company operations for many
months. The company went
through 1940 without a fatal
accident.
Musgrave is survived by his
wife, Ruth, a son, John, 4, and
a daughter, Ruth Anne, 2, and
his parents, all living on Potlatch

necessary to ask public contribu-

Supt. J. E. Martin, who handled
the fund last year and so far this
year.
Due to the flu epidemic, vaca-
gtion and Christmas, the demand
Ifor shoes has grown considerably
in the past two weeks, Supt. Mar-
tin said today, hence the necessity
for public contributions. Contribu-
tions have been coming in without
the asking up to this point, he
said, but the fund is now some-
what in the red with the demand
growing, so public aid is sought.
Contributions may be sent to
Supt. Martin directly. The fund is
being handled on the same basis
