who to thank he would quickly
expreSS Shelton’s municipal ap-
preciation for the. “gift” of a
sum representing the cost of
I shipping about two-thirds of a
I mile of cast iron pipe from San
Francisco to Shelton.
That: much pipe—2160 feet of
six—inch and 1404 feet of four-
inch, to be exact—was on its
way to Shelton from Birming-
ham, Alabama, in a freight ship
when the. U. S. Martime Com-
mission ordered the vessel to un-
load at San Francisco as Uncle
Sam needed the ship for more
important things.
That left the City of Shelton
i liable for getting the pipe to
I Shelton, but it came on through
by rail, arriving in the North-
! ern Pacific yards Tuesday, be-
! fore city officials had a chance
to act on the matter. Just who
paid the extra freight involved
I Mayor Stevenson doesn’t know

. thanks.
The pipe is part of about 25,-
000 feet to be used in the $50,-

ment project which has been
delayed many months by inabil-
, ity to get delivery of the pipe.

MASON LAKE DARK V

Continuing its insight into post—

Mason. County Planning Council
Thursday listed development of a
public park at the south end of

to be recommended for considera-
tion after the end of the war.
Land suitable for such a park
could be secured, the council
pointed out, by trade for county

DENTAL CLINIC
GUY GARFIELD OF ”
FOR CHILDREN UNION, MERCHANT
UNDER WAY NOW MANY YEARS, DIES
Beginning of a project which he
hopes to see expand to a point
where no person needing dental
care will have to go without it
for financial reasons was realized
last week by County Welfare Ad-
ministrator Glenn Ratcliff with
the start of a weekly dental clinic
in quarters in the Social Security
building.
Three Shelton dentists, Dr. J.
T. Shimek, Dr. J. T. Morrissey, and
Dr. R. W. Norvold, are participat-
ing in the clinical work in which
a selected group of children from
families unable to afford proper
dental care are being given the
dental treatment they need.
Six hundred dollars was spent
from public assistance funds to
equip the clinic and the partici-
pating dentists receive a. flat hour-
ly rate from the same funds for
the work they put in on their
clinic patients.
Sought Most Serious Problem
The dental clinic is the result
of a joint conference last Novem-
ber of public health and welfare
staff members for the purpose of
laying a finger on the most ser-
ious health problem, resulting in
agreement on the child dental
problem.
Dr. Francis 1. LiVingston, state
health department dental consul-
tant, was called in then to meet
with the local dental association
to outline what assistance the
state could be in Setting up a
dental clinic and from there the
dental association took over and
shaped the program for the clinic.
Educational Program, ’l‘oo
In addition to the actual clini-
cal work itself, an educational
program on proper care of the
teeth is being conducted thru the
schools, who become a fourth par-
ticipant in the clinic’s operation
by providing transportation for
clinic children in rural areas and
releasing them from school so
they may be treated at the clinic.
cooperating thus with the dental
association, the welfare depart-
ment and the public health depart-
ment.
Administrator Ratcliff has al-
ready discussed with County Draft
Board members the possibilities of
expanding the clinid to include se-
lective service draftees rejected
for dental defects who have no
means of their own of having the
necessary dental work done.
The eventual plan Administra-
tor Ratcliff hopes to work out for
the clinic would be establishing a
revolving fund from which needy
ersons could borrow for neces-

ARMY LAUDS RAYONIER FOR
GIVING SOLDIERS HOME PAPER
A new evaluation of newspap-
ers, an appreciation of how they
build morale in time of national
emergency, is expressed two let-
ters received from Army officials
by A. R. Heron, public relations
manager for the Crown-Zellerbach
and Rayonier corporations, in re-
ply to his inquiry concerning the
corporations’ policy of sending sub-
scriptions to their local newspapers
to men drafted into Army service
from the personnel of the var-
ious plants of the two big pulp
and paper producing firms.
A letter from Major S. G. Swar-
tz, postal officer for the Western
Defense Command and Fourth
Army in San Francisco, reads in
part:
“Your arrangement is consid‘
ered highly commendable from
the standpoint of morale of the
individual soldier. There is no
reason why you should discontin-
ue it as it more important when
a state of war exists.
Prepared To Handle Mall
“The Army Postal Service is
organized to effect delivery of mil-
itary mail within. the contenental
United States and at other points
outside of the United States as
promptly as the military situation
will permit.”
The second letter was received
acting Morale Officer for the
Ninth Corps Area at Fort Doug-
las, Utah, stating in part:
Two-Fold Results
“Such generosity is a double-
acting morale builder. It keeps the.
soldier in touch with his home
town and reminds him that others
are interested in his welfare and
comfort. If you desire to continue
this practice, your generosity will
be appreciated by this headquar-
ters as well as by the direct beneo
ficiaries.
“Such mail will continue to
reach the addresses, although his
address may change, provided it
is sent to his last address."
Mr. Heron's inquiry concerning
continuation of the companies’
policy of sending these subscrip—
tions to employes drafted into mi]-
itary service was made to find
out if the practice would be im-
posing too much of a burden upon
the Army postal service during
war time, F. R. Pearson, offico
manager of the Shelton Rayonier
plant, pointed out Thumday.
“We wrote high-ranking Army
officers asking advice about con-
tinuing the subscriptions. The at-
tached letters tell an eloquent
story of how the home town news-
papers are appreciated," Mr. Her-
on’s letter to Shelton Rayonier of-
fro‘m Capt. David J. McFadden,
ficials pointed out.
