Customers of Rayonier Inc.,
fwllich is now supplying pulp to
the goVernment for war uses, will
not be deprived of their own sup-
plies under the recent 0PM allo-
cation order, it was disclosed to-
day. All sulphite plants in the
nation are required by the order
lto furnish pulp to Rayonier and
to two other companies meeting
the government needs, so that
lcustomers of these companies will
be served.
1
l
l
Six plants in the country‘are
ifurnishing pulp to the govern-
ment. The January total of these
er needs, the OPM order requires
all sulphite pulp producers to
contribute proportionately of their
production each month to the com-
panies supplying the government.
No Other Pulp Supply
The mills served by these com-
panies could not purchase pulp
directly from other producers be—
cause market supplies were com-
pletely covered by existing ‘con—
tracts .and no immediate way
could be found to increase pro-
der.
The government takes but a
small percentage of the total pulp
production, so, by pooling the out-
put, general pulp customers *will
be served as well as the govern-
ment.
Regular Customers Served
The original announcement of
the order earlier in the month
conveyed the impression that Ray-
onier and two other companies,
the Eastern Corporation in Maine
and the Brown company in New
Hampshire, would be compelled
to reduce materially their supplies
to their own customers, while
customers of pulp producers not
serving the government would be
unaffected. The allocation order
treats all pulp users alike and
keeps mills served by Rayonier
and the other two goVernment-
serving companies in operation at
approximately their present level.
The whole plan is one of sharing.
All Rayonier plants—at H0-
quiam, Shelton and Port Angeles
in this state, and at Fernandina,
|Florida—are serving the govern-
ment.

UNEAVORAEEE
Notice that the Skokomish Riv-
ler flood control survey report
made by the War Department un-
ider authority of Congress during
1940 “is unfavorable to improve-
ments that might be constructed
entirely in the interest of flood
control at the present time” has
,been received by The Journal
[from Col. R. Parks, division en-
Igineer at Portland, Oregon. Gist
i
of the report follows:
“It having come to the notice
of the undersigned that you have
expressed an interest in the
pending investigation of improve-
ments to control floods in Sko-
komish River Basin, Washington,
you are hereby informed that the
report thereon, by the War De-
partment, authorized by Act of
Congress approved August 11,
1939, has been made and is un-
favorable to improvements that
might be constructed entirely in
'the interest of flood control at
lthe present time.
The principal grounds upOn
which the adverse conclusions are
based are that the cost of provid-
l ing flood protection works by any
method designed solely for that
' use is materially greater than the
lvalue of the benefits that can be
foreseen at the present time.
However, incidental benefits may
be expected should the South Fork
Reservoir, now under considera-
tion be constructed in the inter-
est of power.”
Appeal from this conclusion may
be made to the Board of Engin-
eers for Rivers and Harbors, a
permanent body sitting at Wash-
ington, D. 0., within four weeks
of the date of the conclusion, list—

3 Reorganization
Committee Dates
Slated In County
Three more dates for public
meetings with the Mason .County
School District Reorganization
week by Committee Secretary J.
E. Martin.
February 4 a session will be
held at the Oyster Bay school for
residents of the Oyster Bay,
Forbes and. Callow school districts.
February 11 a meeting will be
held in the Agate school for resi—
dents of that part of the county.
February 18 the
school will be the meeting site
with residents of Potlatch, Lilli-
waup and Eldon areas invited to
sit in with Hoodsport folks.
A large turnout responded for
the committee’s session at Grape-
view last Friday. Henry Turner,
state office representatiye, was
unable to attend as scheduled due
1to illness in his family, but Com-
mittee Secretary Martin pinchhit
for him.
Winemen Return
Wright, Somers
At the annual meeting of the
Washington State Wine Council
held last Saturday, E. J. Wright
of Grapeview was re-elected pres-
ident and Charles Somers, also of
grapeview, was re-elected a direc-
or.
The wine industry is wondering
about the 'coming sugar ration-
lng. The same amount of sugar
will be allowed as was used in
1940 which will mean a curtail-
ment of output of about 50 per
cent.
Dr. Forman Promoted
To Captaincy by Army
Dr. B. B. Forman, Shelton phys-
ician who was called into service
with the Army at Fort Lewis a
year ago, was promoted to the
rank of captain with 203rd Hos-
pital at Fort Lewis recently.
He was one of a group of first
lieutenants comprising about one-
seventh of the total number hold-
ing that rank who were promoted

Deputy Collector Joseph J. ,Gal-
Dellucci of Internal Revenue De-

February 2 and 3 at the Shelton
Hotel to advise taxpayers on mak-
ing out their income tax returns
for 1941, according to an an-
nouncement received by rThe
Journal this week from Collector
Clark Squire's office in Tacoma.

are expected to make federal in—
come tax returns during the next
10 weeks than during the filing
period a year ago in the district
of Washington and Alaska, in the
opinion of Collector Squire.
This large increase is due pri-
marily to heavier defense industry
pay rolls throughout the district
and to the lower personal ex-
emptions established by the 1941
Revenue Act. Returns must be
filed by March 15.
Every unmarried person having
gross income of $750 or more must
make a return, even though he
may not be taxcd. Likewise,
person who is married but not
living with husband or wife must
file a return if the gross income is
at least $750. Husband and wife,

IS $1,500 or more.
The collector warns taxpayers

i Auto Tax Stamps
At P.0.; Must Be
On Car By Feb. 1
Federal auto use tax stamps
are now available at the Shel-
ton postoffice and must be af-
fixed to the windshield of all
vehicles on or before February
1, Postmaster Miss Jessie
Knight points out to Mason
County automobile owners.
The stamps sell for $2.09 and
constitute payment of the tax
up to July 1, 1942, at which
time a $5 stamp must be bought
to cover the year from July 1,
1942, to June 30, 1943.
A stamp must be pasted on
the windshield of every auto-
mobile, truck and motorcycle.
The owner is required to notify
the collector of internal reve—
nue at Tacoma that he has
paid the tax on a penny post-
card which is provided along
with the stamp.
School busses owned and op-
erated by the districts are not
subject to the auto use tax, but
school bosses leased to or own-
ed by others than the school
district must bear the stamp,
County School Supt. J. E. Mar-
tin said this week.

ing over the state and through
consolidation, better roads and the
full 25 cents per day for attend-
ance, better schools as well as
improved conditions are not far
removed from every child, and in-
dustrial as well as economic arts
are now furnished in many schools
she stated. While there are still
around 250 teachers who receive
less than $1200 a year, better pay
is the rule and higher standards
required, and the state through its
$700,000 relief fund is doing much
to relieve the situation in poorer
districts, as well as joining with
federal aid in meeting the urgent
Hoodsportj needs for schooling in the mush-
rooming defense areas. Special ser-
vice is now being given to handi-
capped children, especially thru
circulating the hearing test equip-
ment in smaller schools.
Mrs. Wanamaker devoted a
good part of her talk to the state
school funds of $100,000,000 built
up from sale of state land and
timber, and the 24 million acres
still owned which will be conserv-
atively handled and operated al-
ong sustained yield lines, the reve-
nues from which are expected to
sustain the school system for the
long future.
The new board of which the su-
perintendent is a member will
check on all land sales with re-
gard to timber values, condition
and need for selling to carry on
local industry, and cooperate with
the state, federal and timber
agencies in the protection as well
as extension of reforesting, which
is expected to add long life to
the schools and to the communi-
l ties dependent upon the timber in-
dustry,
Mrs. Wanamaker was attended
lby her assistant, Miss SWedberg
and they visited the high school
in the afternoon.
Eagle Dane—JEN
‘March of Dimes’
Dimes will match again Satur-
day for the infantile paralysis
fund when the weekly Eagle Dance
at Shelton Valley is dedicated to
the annual nation-wide “March of
Dimes” campaign.
Manager Ray Morkert, of the
Eagles Dance, reports almost all
services for this week's dance ,will
be donated, cutting expenses al-
most to nothing and leaving nearly
100 per cent .profit in receipts to
be turned over to the “March of
Dimes” fund. ,
Good public support of a similar
dance sponsored by Kamilche
grange and a card party at Hoods-
port last Saturday evening start-
ed the fund off nicely in Mason
County, while dime jars have been
placed throughout the county for
donors to drop their spare thin
ones, reports Sheriff Gene Martin,
county chairman of the “March of
Dimes” campaign.
Wrong Building Was
Mentioned In Story
In recording the issuance of a
building permit to Mervin Getty
in last week's edition, The Journal
erred in refering to the building in-
volved as the Bischel building.
Properly, the story should have
mentioned the Paulson building as
the Bischel building adjoins the
Paulson building and is not in
anyway involved in the renovation
work being done by Mr. Getty to
the Paulson structure.

Staff of the U. S. Treasury De-
partment whose purpose is to pro-
mote the sale of defense bonds and
stamps in every way possible, was
made this week by Saul Haas,
state administrator.
Mr. Cole is now in the midst of
appointing his committee aides,
who will be chosen from all walks
of life and all communities in the
county.
Want All to Participate
The Defense Savings Commit-
tee will have as its objective,
Chairman Cole explained, promo-
tion of the sale of defense bonds
and stamps by enrolling every
man, woman and child in Mason
County in a systematic plan for“
the. regular purchase to the limit
of their means of defense bonds
and stamps. r
One of the major means of
achieving this goal will be promo-
tion of a “pay roll allotment plan”
such as the Simpson Logging com—
pany already has put into prac-
tice in every industrial plant and
business house in the county,
Chairman Cole said.
Cooperation Promised
The Shelton Rayonier plant has
already signified its intention of
putting such a plan into operation,
with its Federal Credit Union as
the agency, the county chairman
added, and retail businessmen with
whom he has had an opportunity
to discuss the matter have prom—
ised fullcooperation.

reveals, County Agent Clinton Ok-
erstrom, who acted as registrar,
reports.
While he did not keep records
on animals other than those in
the three to ten year old bracket
required for the Army's purpose,
Okerstrom did make a mental note
of the astonishing number of sen-
ile animals mentioned to him by
county farmers and ranchers at
the same time that they regis-
tered their “draft age” animals.
Just for instance, Horace Mill—
er, Arcadia rancher, has an anti-
quated team of horses who saw
their prime away back in the
days when logging by horse and
ox team flourished. In fact these
tWo old museum pieces in horse-
flesh, now both over 30 years old,
were engaged in that very work
for many years, but despite the
battering they got in the woods
their sturdy old frames are still
capable of a pretty fair day's
work on the ranch.

good deal of service out of a ven-
erable team of horses, one of
which dates back 28 years and
the other slightly over 30 years.
“Quite a number," of horses be—
yond the ripe old age of 20 years
also were mentioned to Oker-
strom in the course of the horse
registration, he said. The average
age of a horse is approximately
15 years, he commented.
As for the draft itself, 104
horses of the three to ten year
age span were registered by Ma-
son County animal owners. No
mules were reported, but R. J.
Gallagher, Lost Lake goat rancher,
registered a small burro which he
said would be suitable for pack-
ing duty and which the Army was
welcome to use whenever it wishes.
Fifty-three individuals owned
the 104 animals registered, Oker-
strom said, with the aforemention- I WhiCh inCIUded the

has a number of others outside

animals were saddle broken, the
others all were work type.

[Frequent Visitor
. At Grapeview Is
Highly Honored
Grapeview, Jan. 26—Earl Rob-
inson, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. J.
Robinson of Seattle, who has
spent many summers at Grape-
view and is a relative by mar-
riage to Mr. and Mrs. Lock Wren
of Grapeview, has had another
honor bestowed upon him.
Last year he became famous as
the ‘coowriter with another east-
erner of “Ballad for Americans."
A few weeks ago we heard him on
“We, the People” and today we
hear that he has had dinner at
the White House in Washington
with President and Mrs. Roosevelt
and Prime Minister Winston
Churchill.
Quoting from a. letter from
Earl’s mother, “Mrs. Rosevelt in-
vited him down to Washington to
sing at one of her Civilian De-
fense parties, and when he arriv-
ed in Washington, she insisted on
his eating dinner with them.
There were fifteen at the table,
but they seated Earl right next to
the President, at the left, right
across the table from Mrs. Roos-
evelt and Mr. Churchill. Quite an
adventure for a little small town
boy from the West.”
Applications

Applications for purchase of
tax-title land held by Mason
County at the 15th in the series
of public auction sales being
sponsored by the county commis-
sioners will be accepted up to

county board decided at their
weekly meeting this week.
The board also transferred to
road district 3 a. pickup truck it

Flag Sale Goes
Over With ‘Bang
Excellent response to the Am-
erican Legion Auxiliary’s flag
sale is reported by Mrs. Ada Clo-
thier, chairman.
Approximately 40 of the four~
-by-six-foot American flags have
been sold since the outbreak of
war December 7, she said last
week, mostly to buSiness firms.
Many of the sales were as re-
placements for old flags which
had become faded and tattered
with much use.
The big flags sell for $5.75,
part of which the auxiliary re-
tains for its treasury.
Mrs. Clothier said that busi-
ness houses which do not have
flag pole holes in the curbs in
front of their premises can have
them drilled for $1 and anyone
interested in having this work
done. is invited to get in touch
with her.

LETTER FROM HAWAII-RELIEVES
, WORRY OVER SHELTONIAN’S KIN
Anxiety over the safety of his
sister and other relatives in Hono-
lulu was relieved for Jack Smith,
Box 212, Route 3, Shelton, last
weekend upon receipt of a. letter
from the sister, Iva Ishmael, in
which she said all the Shelton
man's kin had survived the Pearl
Harbor attack safely.
Mr. Smith had not heard from
any of his relatives in Hawaii
for almost two months and since
several of them worked in de-
fense positions over there he was
[considerably concerned over their
I safety. ,
1 But the letter last weekend
ended his worries and said Mrs.
Ishmael would be on her way back
to the United States by the time
the letter arrived. She is coming
to Shelton to make her permanent
home with her brother.
“I will leave anytime after two
weeks (the letter was dated Jan-
uary 13). It might be the follow-
ing day, it may be weeks or a
month but I don't think long,”
Mrs. Ishmael’s letter said.
"Everyone .is well and all of us
are really working hard. Murrel
(her daughter) is in a print shop
again as bookkeeper and steno—
grapher and Thelma’s (another
daughter) husband is with the
telephone company. Bernis (Mur-
rel's husband) and Avery (her
son) are defense workers. Carrie
(Avery's wife) and the children go
back very soon.
“It is surprising what living in
a land where blackouts are the
usual thing can do for. one’s
in the service, too.”

Mason County Horses Of Ancient Vintage
AS RED CROSS
EUAPTER HEAD
Persuaded to change, his deci-
sion against running for re-elec-
tion because “this is a poor time
to be swapping horses in mid-
stream,” Myron Lund permitted
his name to be nominated from
the floor for Mason County Red
Cross Chapter chairman and he
was subsequently re-elected to
the position he has held the past
year at the chapter’s annual elec-
tion meeting Monday night.
Lund has previously told a
nominating committee he did not
care to run for the office again
the committee had then drafted
a recommended slate of nominees
name of
Charles T. Wright, Shelton attor-
ney, for chairman. Lund was el-
ected by a vote of 24 to 20.
The Red Cross chapter here
has been converted to a wartime
basis during the past year under
Lund’s administration and his sup-
porters felt that no change in the
head office should be made at
such a critical time at this.

County Granges Aid
Scrap Iron Collection
Scrap iron is needed for battle~
ships, tanks, bombs and many oth-
er armament materials, and last
but by no means least, farm ma-
chinery and repairs, reports Conny
ty Agent Okerstrom, secretary of
the Mason County War Board.
Grange members have entered
into the program of collecting the
scrap iron from their own farms
as well as contacting farms in
the community. Any farmers who
have a sizeable quantity that they
do not wish to donate to the
Grange should notify either a
dealer or call the extension office
informing us to that effect so that
we may get this scrap iron mov-
ing to the blast furnaces.
