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.

Shelton Man Copied Surrender Messages Between British and German Navy Chiefs Firth of Forth, off Edinburgh, Scotland, for the actual physical surrender. The transcript of the German fleet surrender messages and pho- tographs of the Kaiser’s battle- wagons as they arrived at the Firth of Forth, plus additional pho- tographs of American and British warships and other scenes connect- ed with his stretch in the navy, comprise the album and make highly interesting reading for a rainy evening in these days of World War II. Some of the interesting pass- ages in messages transcript fol— low: Nov. 12, 1918—0100 (o‘clock), from British Admiralty to Ger- man High Naval Command — A German submarine fired a torpedo at British warship off East coast of England at 1600 Nov. 11th.

At the same time, Arthur ward was re-appointed as county road engineer at no change in salary, and a public hearing was dated for March at two o’clock in the commissioner’s chambers on a pe- tition submitted by Estie L.

Hendry has held the office, which actually combines the du- ties of deputy treasurer and de— puty clerk, for the past year and a half, during which time he has made an outstanding record in re- ducing delinquent city water ac- counts, as well as handling with exceptional ability the various other details of the position. In his new assignment, to which he reports this Friday, Hendry will be stationed at Bremerton tem- porarily, but expects to be return- ed to Mason County within a few weeks as an addition state patrol. man in this area. No successor to his post with the city has been announced yet by Treasurer Ed Faubert and Clerk Glenn Lenders, who make the appointment. OF PAST YEAR MAY BE SLOWED‘ New government restrictions on the use of copper wire may slow down in 1942 the pace of expan- sion set by Public Utility District No. 3 during 1941, but if supplies which the district had on hand before the restrictions were clamped on hold out as Manager E. W. Johnson hopes, most of the. 1942 expansion program planned by the district can be carried out. The government has banned con- struction of new lines longer than 1000 feet from existing lines when new materials have to be used,‘ but this does not apply where the! supplies were on hand prior to issuance of the order. The pace set by P.U.D. 3 this past year increased its numberI of customers from 1969 to 2030, in the territory formerly cover- ed by the West Coast Power Com- pany system between April andl December, and from 360 to 470 consumers on its rural lines in the same period,‘ an increase of 170 consumers over both systemsi Power Purchase Sharply Up From April to December, P.U.D. 3 increased its purchase of power from the joint power operations for its city lines from 333,043 kil- owatt hours to 428,821 K'W H, while its purchase of power from the, City of Tacoma for its rural lines rose from 26,260 KWH in April to 46,545 KWH in December, ac— cording to figures released this week by Manager Johnson.

Some hope for his safety isstill held. however, inasmuch as two or three life boats which Were low- ered from the torpedoed Lady Hawkins have not yet been report- ed and their passengers may have been rescued by a' vessel bound for South Africa.

This time our enemies must be made to suffer the same punish- ment they have so brutally inflicted upon the peace-loving democracies of the world. “With America in the midst of a war which we are determined to win, the spiritof unity must prevail in all sections of the country. Whether or not this war with the Axis powers will .be long or short—will depend upon our determination to work together. With faith and confidence in those whom we have chosen to lead us to victory, we can be certain our enemies will be defeated in the shortest possible time. “We know the enemy is strong, treacherous and cunning. Certain losses will be inevitable. There must be no let-down in our war efforts un- til the might of the Axis powers is wiped from the face of the earth.” (The above is quoted from an article written by Max Singer, National Commander of the V.F.W. in the current issue of “Foreign Service,” the monthly magazine of that organization. We believe it is well worth repeating at this time). 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- sary dental work, repaying in small amounts what they borrow- ed.

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.
