The Town of McCleary, Shelton’s nearest neighbor on
the West, and closely related by rail and industry, last!
Friday celebrated an unique occasion in the life of any,
small community, the outright gift of its light and water
systems as public utilities in going order.
Few towns have ever started off with the proverbial
“silver platter,” having had to create their public services
from cratch, by taxation, and carrying them through the;
growing pains by bondings, and McCleary is most fortun-

manency of both industry and the communities.
McCleary is most fortunate in having the support of
a strong and progressive concern like the Simpson Com-

in which the government furnishes the funds and more or
less controls the operations.
Some of these plans involve state, county and city im-
provement projects, for which in many cases a backlog of
public funds is being laid by, to get into prompt action; but
all are predicated on the big-scale idea on which the govern-
ment is lavishly laying out its appropriations as though
the high tax rate can be continued forever.
It is unfortunate that more thought is not given to what
the ordinary citizen, the backbone ‘of the nation, has done
by individual initiative toward this great nation in the
past and his ability to employ a large share of the men
cast-off from war industry or returning from active ser-
vice to resume old jobs in home communities.
For the past five years or more building in the cities,
and particularly homes, has been at standstill for lack of
materials and labor, or by the prohibitive costs of such
where material was available; until now there is a huge
void in every city and town where there should be many
new and modern homes, the lack of which is being severely
felt in this period of floating populations. '
POST-WAR PLANNING FOR PULP MILLS
Last week the Crown-Zellerbach Corporation celebrat-
ed the 15th anniversary of its kraft mill operation at Port
Townsend, and presented 5, 10 and 15-year service pins to
more than one hundred of its employees there, with a re-
view of its growth of that mill from a payroll of $351188
in 1928 to the disbursement in wages of $1,232,287 for 1943.
Unfortunately, for various reasons out of the control
of the allied company, the Rayonier plant Shelton has been
idle for half the year and will be unable to feature another
of its usual rewards of pins for long service, while the
employees have lost their seniorities, and have scattered
to other mills to Shelton’s loss. '
J. D. Zellerbach, the president, told how a post-war
planning committee of the corporation had been Working
for months on the possibilities for new products, new manu-
facturing methods and sales outlets, in order that the work-
ers, the company, and the communities where Zellerbach
plants are located could be fairly certain of steady oper-
ations instead of a slump when wartime activities are end-
ed. Let us hope there is something in sight for Shelton’s
Rayonier. ..
HARSTINE FERRY A PROBLEM CHILD '
The County Commissioners are facing an old problemI
anew in the failure of the Harstine ferry to meet the needs 1
of the Island dwellers, and of the resignation of the oldI
and patient ferryman, Earl Harriman, who has humoredI
the old catamaran for many years.
The original ferry was built on logs but became so
waterlogged that it functioned with difficulty, and a new;
'one was built on similar lines but is now almost unmanage-
able, and the Harstine Islanders are having much difficulty
in their efforts to come to town and get home again. I
Obviously, this important farming section of Mason;
County is entitled to its share of access to county roads,I
but the cost of a new ferry and operator makes a problem, i
as well as the means of getting a new ferry built and suit- .
able motor to power it, and a permanent operator.
The Board realizes all this and is pondering the pro-.
blem, but hoping that the old ferries may hold out until
the war ends and one of those steel landing bargegs might
be available, for the shallow beaches offer diffi ulty in
landings and a special shallow craft is needed. The Island-
ers have our sympathy because lack of a. good ferry holds
their section back, and the next one should be a “good
ferry.”
The War Food Administration has indorsed legislation
to set up a government stamp plan to subsidize grocery
bills of low income famlies. They estimate that there will
be 18,000,000 persons eligible for this relief, and that‘s
about one-third of the people now engaged in productive
employment. If, during these times of full employment, one-
third of our people need government aid, what may we
expect when the war is over? 0f more concern, perhaps,
is how we are to pay for it.

Washington I
First in Sales
The state of Washington held!
first place among states of the:
Union for per capita sales of E
Bonds, according to latest statis-
tics received by Reno Odlin, State
War Finance Chairman, this week.
The report compiled by the
Treasury in Washington, D. C., is
for November, 1943. The same
high place is held by this state
for sales of E, F and G bonds on
a per capita basis.
“This is the first time in the
30 previous months of war fin-
ancing that this state has cross-
ed the tape in first place ahead
of sister states. The District of
Columbia, Hawaii and the Canal
Zone ranked ahead of Washing-
ton in sales, but Were not held
comparable to any state situa-
tion,” said Odlin.
“If we are to maintain first
place in E Bond Sales diiring the
4th War Loan, it will take a!)
awful lot of work,” said Odlin.
“The fine record is a compliment
to the volunteer workers, who
with Payroll Savings always to
the fore in their planning, have
put our state in the foreground
in War Financing," he. said.
“The Treasury, as your County
Chairman has explained, attaches
bonds to individuals, that up un-
til February 1st, no other sales of
Treasury securities will be tabu-
lated. Corporations, governmental
units and others are. of course,
purchasing bonds right now, and
they will add to the final 4th
War Loan total,” concluded Mr.
Odlin.
USO Needs More
Tea Towels
Some thoughtful soul took the
tea towels belonging to the local
U.S.O. room, home to wash them
and then forgot to return them,
so the local organization is send-
ing out a call for more tea towels.
In addition, somebody evidently
switched electric cords for the per-
colator as the cord now 'at the
establishment does not fit the
coffee pot. If anyone remembers
taking, a .percolator down and
coming home with the wrong cord,
they should contact the U.S.O.‘
