County Gasoline
Contract Comes
. Out Of A Hat
Local gasoline distributors
might be called “minds wilh
but a single thought” for when
the county commissioners op-
ened their bids for county gas»
oline purchases, they were all
identical.
Faced with a problem to
stump a Solomon, the commis—V
sinners resorted to the lottery
method, with the approval of
the companies concerned. The
Standard Oil Company drew the
lucky number out of the hat
and won the contract.
School districts No. 43 and

offer and were included in the
contract.

PLANNED HERE
An important new organization
for the protection and propagation
of Mason County’s vital forest in-
dutries was disclosed last week
with the formation of the Mason
County Junior Forest Wardens
under the sponsorship of Fred B.
Wivell Post of the American Le-
gion.
Purpose of the organization is
county in the best methods of
protecting timber through fire
prevention, but also to train them
in the growing of the forest crop
and the appreciation of the impor-
tance of forests in their lives.
The vital need for the Junior
Forestry Program was emphasiz-
ed by William Hagenstein, Chief
Forester of the West Coast Lum-
bermen’s Association at a student
assembly at the local high school
last Tuesday afternoon.
Mr. Hagenstein pointed out that
the eager faces he was looking at
today would, tomorrow, be looking
mighty Northwest. Our commun-
ity alone is not dependent upon
the forests that surround us, but
the entire Northwest’s future de-
pends upon the conservation of
our forests and the perpetuating
of forest lands.

Of greater importance than ev-
er before is the forest industry,

Return Books
Of Inductees
And. Deceased
It is very important to the
general public that ration books
of persons inducted into the
armed forces, and of deceased
persons, be turned in to the ra-
tion board, Mrs. Frank Russell,
secretary chine board declared
yesterday. She pointed out that
if some persons obtain rationed
commodities illegally, the al-
lowable rations for other per-
sons will be less. '
All ration books of deceased
persons and persons inducted in-
to the armed forces must be
returned except:
A. The basic “A” gasoline
ration book of an inductee may
be retained by the inductee if
he still owns his automobile and
it is being used by someone on-
titled to use it; and
B. The basic “A” gasoline
ration book of a deceased per-
son may be retained by any
person entitled to use the auto-
mobile for which . the ration
book was issued.
All other ration books must
be returned.

In cooperation with the nation-l
al movement to raise Victory Gar-
dens this year, thc Shelton Gar-
den Club will open their meeting
this month, February 24, to the
public. The meeting will be held
in the Memorial Hall at 2 p. m.
County Agent Clinton Okerstrom
will speak on Victory Gardens
and answer any questions con-
cerning them. Also moving pic—
tures on correct planting methods
will be shown.
The U. S. Department of Agri-
culture State War Board has set
'four vital reasons 'why families
must grow their own vegetables,
just as they must buy War Bonds
and share rides. First: farm la-
bor shortage is more critical here
than in most sections of the
country; second, there is a short-
age of materials for commercial
canning; third, transportation
Shortage makes long hauls of
fresh vegetables impossible; four-
th, the demand of military lend-
lease. for commercially grown
vegetables is constantly increas-
ing, and as U. S. forces continue
on the march, that demand will
grow still greater, for in other
countries there are starving peo-
ple whom we must feed and help
to again build their own free lives.

Commission, an organization au-
thorized by the‘state, held its
regular monthly session in Shel—
ton Thursday evening, as guests
of the Shelton Chamber of Com-
merce including officers and ad—
visers from various parts of the

Chamber, and club matters were
deferred while the evening was
given over to the larger discus-
sions.
Joshua H. Vogel, executive see
retary, of Seattle, was the main
speaker reviewing what the Com-
mission had already accomplish-
ed, and a mass of detail and maps
illustrating the major subjects
which the Commission has work—
edup in the several districts of
the eleven counties under their
charge. It was explained that
planning was backward in Mason
County and the mission at this
time was to ascertain the parti-
cular needs of the county now,
and how it will fit in with the
wider program, and aid the coun-
ty planning board to cooperate
with the larger body.
Maps Shown .,
The maps outlined the mineral
and soil features, with one show-
ing the large area of the Olympic
peninsula with proven deposits of
manganese ore; also airports, tim-
bered and reforesting areas, pow—
er sources, and other features
which offer a promising future
for after-war industry, and for
settlement of the many who have
been brought to the state in war

Importance Of Local T-B
Program Stressed In Talk
Local Business
Men Are Thanked
For Cooperation
The following statement was
issued by Howard MacGowan,
Pacific Northwest Director,
Office of War Information in
connection with the Journal’s
printing of information concern-
ing War.Ration Book No. 2
Since this information on ra-
tioning is part of the program
sponsored by merchants, indus-
tries and professional men of
Shelton, the Journal extends its
own thanks to these people for
their cooperation.
“May I publicly thank the
Journal for their cooperation
in making this official form of
the Consumer Declaration avail-
able to the people of Shelton.
The Journal joins the volunteers
of your ration board in giving
public service. Henry B. Owen,
Assistant to Regional Adminis-
trator; Office of Price Admin-
istration.”
Howard MacGowan
stressing the importance which
the tuberculosis program in Mason
county has attained, not only 10-
cally, but nationally as well, Mrs.
Buchanan, president of the State
Anti-Tuberculosis League, ad-
dressed a gathering of League
members and representatives of
local business and industry at a
luncheon at the Colonial House
last Thursday.
Mrs. Buchanan pointed out the
importance of the prevention of
tuberculosis through education
and the discovery of active cases
so that the disease might be con-
trolled.
As an example of the results of
a. lack of preventive control Mrs.
Buchanan cited the case of a small
town in another county where 20
members out of a senior class of
22 in the high school were found
to respond actively to the T-B
test following contact with a stu-
dent who had the disease.
She pointed out that such an
occurrence would be almoéit im-
possible in Shelton because of the
'widespread program of testing for
tuberculosis now in force here.
Attracts National Attention
This program has attracted at-
tention all over the nation and
received special recognition two

Shark Gear
l One of the most interesting fea-
ltures is the gear used in catching
the fabulous soupfin shark, which
is a literal gold mine of the sea.
The sharks are caught in gill nets
which are anchored to the bottom
by lead weights. Along the top of
the nets are ingenuous floats made
out of stubby beer bottles, which
keep the net upright in the water.
Several sets of these nets are
‘tied together and then anchored
to a buoy so that the fishermen
can find and identify their nets,
since they are below the surface.
