Need For More Diplomacy In Mayor's Office Spurs Travis If Frank Travis Jr. wins the mayorality battle next Tuesday he will become the first son of a former mayor to follow in his father's footsteps in Shelton muni- cipal history. Frank St. seled as mayor of Shelton for one term in the mid- 1940s. So far as is known this is the first instance when a former mayor's son has endeavored to do this, Frank Jr. has lived in Shelton for 37 of his 44 years, coming here from Seattle in 1925. He was born in Seattle Aug. 5, 1917. After graduating from Irene S, Reed high school in 1935, he prepped for one year at Lakeside Boys School in Seattle before en- tering the Universffy of Washing- ton, where he spent four years in the College of Economics and Bus- iness, majoring in marketing and dvertlsing. On Aug. 7, 194¢ .... exactly four months before Pearl Harbor---.he enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard, serving five years to the day un- til his discharge on Aug. 7, 1946. During his miliLaz-y seiwice he married his wife, Connie, in San Francisco in 1943, They now have two daughters, 14 and two years old. Upon returning to Shelton af- ter rorld War II, he went to work at Simpson Timber Company's in- sulating board plant, starting as a wrapper and moving up to shift superintendent during his 10 years with the company. Five years ago he entered business for himself as owner of the Washington Ever- green Company. Page 7 i i , , During his en:ployment with Simpson he served on the board of directors or" the Simpson Em- ployes Federal Credit Union for five years. He has been a member of the American Legion for 15 years aad was one of the early World War II veterans elected as vice-Com- mander of Fred B. Wivell Post. He has been a member of the 40 & 8 for three years, serving as chairman of its board and as gen- eral chairman of tbe 40 & 8- Journal Christmas basket project for 'the past two years. He has also been a member of the Shel- ton-Bayshore Golf Club for 11 years, serving as its president and being active also in the Men's 19th Hole Club. He has been a Kiwan- ian for the past four years, and is a charter member of the Citi- zen's Advisory Council. His hobbies are golfing, skiing and growlug .orchids. In making his first venture in- to the field of public politics, Travis feels his education and business experience qualify him adequately to conduct city busi- ness. He is seeking the office of may- or because he feels Sheiton needs "more decorum and diplomacy in commission meetings and that city faciliLies expansion ghou]d be com- mermurate with the community's growth." "I earnestly solicit voter support for Elroy Nelson, Dave Kneeland and myself as a slate for a com- plete change in the city commis- sion." $ * # Nelson One Of Community's Most Active Civic Workers Although he has never held an elective public office, Elroy Nel- son is one of Shelton's most de- voted civic servants. At one time or anothel:--and of- ten simultaneously--he has gven his time and energies to the fol- h)wing activities: Veterans of Foreign Wars' Post 692, serving as its conmlander in 1934; present commander of World War I Veterans Post, of which he is a charter member; board of directors of Shelton Gen- eral Hospital five years, its pres- ident for four years until last month; charter member and ac- tive organizer of Simpson Em- ployes Federal Credit Union (20 Tears), serving as its president; member of city civil service com- mission, also its chairman; mem- ber of city planning commission seven years, six as its chairman; member of Local 38, I,W.A. for many years, on its executive boal'd four years; member of Red Cross board during World War II and for some time afterward, chair- man of its blood bank one year; Scoutmaster of Bey Scout troop in 1931; active member of the Methodist chureiL He just about has Lo maintain that kind of pace to keep ahead of the city's most active civic ladies. In addition to all that activity, he finds time to give to five time- consuming hobbies--mmerology, wood-working, photography, tra- vel and reading. His life has beun devoted to tools. Fie worked as a. carpenter for 12 years, then became a mill- wright for the Simpson Timber Company, for whom he has work- ed since coming to SlmlLon 39 years ago. He is seeking the office of pub- lie works commissioner because of his general interest in city government and a strong sense of civic duty, plus a conviction that the city is now subject to ridi- cule. "I want [o reverse that trend, and see that resl)ect and confi- dence are restored to our city govermnent,' he said in explaining why he s a candidate for the of- fice, He was bon in Lead, South Da- kota, Dec. 16, 1897. During World War I h served in the U.S. Army and spent a yea]- in France. He is the father of two sons, Laurel, now a(tministraLor at 'ast.ern * State Hospital, 'and Donn, who operates a tugboat on the boom of his wife, Mabel, for she is one. for Simpson Timber Co. Background In Finance BaN.is For Dave Kneeland's Cand.dacy By education and experience, commande" of Fred B. Wivell Am. Dave Kneeland is ideally qualified to fill the position of cty finance commissioner. His education at Linfield and St. Martins college was devoted to the field of business and fin- ance, and his work for the past 11 years with the Simpson Tim- ber Company bas been in cost accounting, where he is now of- flee supervisor of the company's timber operations in Washington. Providing for his family of 11 children has also taught him pru- dent mmmgement of the dollar. He has six girls and five boys rang. ing from nine months to 18 years of age. Dave is a native son of Shelton, as was his father before him. He was born here in 1916. Those 45 years in Shelton give him the honor of longest residence in this community of any of the candi- dates seeking office in next weeks election, even though he is sec- ond only to Frank Travis as youngest of the candidates by age. His wife, too, is a native Shel- tonian. She is the former Elsie Smith, daughter of an early-day Shelton businessman. W. H, Smith. Dave was graduated from Irene S. Reed high scl]ool with the class of 1936 after an outstanding re* cord both in the classroom and in sports. As an athlete he earned three varsity letters, each in foot* bal, basketball and baseball, at the same time maintaining Hon. or Soc.iety grades. During World War II he served two years in the U.S. Air Force as a Eight instnel.or. He was the first WWII veteran to be elected Incumbents Decline Invitation To Give Biographical Data The Jounml's invitation to sup. ply biograRhical material and comment for articles suci as the three appearing on this page has been declined by Mayor Earl Moore and Comnlissioners Steve Viger and W. F, McCann. A lisL of 12 questions with an invitation to conmmnt as desired was submitted to all six candid- ares for next Tuesday's electiori by the Journal xith the idea of providing Shelton voters with as nluah informaLion about tlm indi- vidual candidates ns possible. It was from their answers, to Lhis questionnaire and invitation thaL the informative stories about Frank Travis Jr., Dave Kneeland and Eh'oy Nelson were compiled. ericm Legion post. Deslite the responsibilities of providing for his large family, Dave has given time and energy to the Legion, 40 & 8, Toastmast. e]'s and St.. Edwards Catholic Church and indulged in his two hobbies--golf and fishing. Like Travis, this is his first "venture into the field of public politics, but a strong feeling that there "is need for a change in city hall" and that a candidate fully qualified in the field of fin- ance should seek the office of city finance commissioner persuaded him to accept the urgings friends to become a candidate for the of- fice.
