Journal List
This week a. few names have
been removed from the Jour—
nal's mailing list for failure. to
send in their renewal. This is in
conformity with the Govern-
ment Regulations r e q u i r i n g
newspapers to remove from
their lists all delinquent sub—
scrihors. It is made necessary
by the curtailment in newsprint
production and the unusually
large number of new subscrib-
ers who are being added to the
list each week.
For the same reasons sub-
scribers are advised that no
subscription campaign will be
held this year as has been done
for several years past.
Flax-h week also sees the
names of more local service men
being added to the long list of
boys all over the world who
are receiving the. home paper.
Since. newspapers can now be
mailed to men in the army
overseas by subscription only,
the Journal has taken on an
added task of following the
boys with the home news. It's
a big job—but one that has
its reward in the many words
of appreciation written home
from the, fighting fronts and
the camps all over the country.

ing to be held Friday, March 12,
at 2 p. m. in the Memorial Hall.
The meeting is open to the pub-:

Dr. Hanley appeared before the
club several years ago, showing
very interesting films of and giv-
ing a talk on the University of
Washington Arboretum, of which
he has been in charge for several
years.
He has not announced the sub-
ject he will speak on, but the
Garden Club members are hoping
it may be Victory Gardens, as he
has been very active recently in
promoting them.
Professor Hanley has been on
the faculty of the University of
Washington since 1939, as Profes-
sor of Botany and Forestry, and
Director of the University of
Washington Arboretum. The Ar-
boretum was organized in 1935 by
a far-seeing group of citizens of
the state and is fast becoming a
mecca for those who enjoy tree
and shrub collections for the na-
turalistic beauty that they create.

Firemen Kept
Busy AS Blazes
By Said Blazes
Local fire fighters had a. busy
time during the past woek, as
dry' weather and promiscous
burning of trash greatly in-
creased fire hazards.
Biggest loss was at the auto
court on Mt. View operated by
Mrs. Guy Caldwell, where a
fire of undetermined origin
destroyed ,-two cabins with a loss
of some $1300. Lack of water
handicapped fire fighters.
Wednesday morning a. fire
caused by an over heated stove
or? n7, caused $50 damage at the.
hgme of Ed Lewis on Hillcrest.
Monday a small shack on the
Bayshore road was destroyed
,whcn a grass fire got out of
control.
A big grass fire swept over
the flats between town and the
booms imperilling several
houses close by. A spark flew
over two houses and started a.
small fire in Mrs. Anna Knee-
land’s house, which was quick-
ly put out. ‘

ON BURNING
Placing of all A.W.S. observa-
tion posts under the jurisdiction
of the State Forestry office here,
was announced yesterday by Geo.
Frisk, District Fire Warden.
These stations will be placed on
a full-time fire detection basis.
Warden Frisk also announced
the appointment of four deputy
wardens who have been added to
the local staff to examine all re-
quests for burning permits.
New wardens appointed include
Frank Cleveland, who will cover
Kamilche, Arcadia, Pickering; Ben
Booth, Dayton, Matlock, Satsop
and Cloquallum; Francis Wright,
Union, Belfair, Mason Lake and
Grapeview; Joe Vail, Hoodsport,
Skokomish, Cushman Lake, Lilli-
waup and Hamma Hamma. The
restrictions on burning without
permits have been widely adver-
tised and after Saturday, March
13, all violators will be taken into
custody.
Permits will be issued if it is
possible to do so under conditions
imposed by national defense, ex-
treme fire weather and increased
.fire hazards caused by last win-
ter’s snow damage in the forest,
Frisk said.

Northwest sector has requested
that fire protection agencies dis—
criminate between; hazards that
could be eliminated with a mini-

In an election which aroused
more interest than any school
vote in recent history, Shelton’s
School District No. 309 received
some new faces on the school
board as Dr. Robert E. Brown
and Mrs. Laura T. Murphy defeat-

The total of 664 votes cast was
the'largest ever cast in a local
school board election showing the
interest that developed over the
contest. '
Running in precinct five against
Harry Carlon, Dr. Brown polled
357 votes to his opponents 286.
Mrs. Murphy piled up 369 votes
[against L. D. Hack's 268 votes.
