IWAR REALITIES
! EXPLAINED AT
KIWANIS_ NIGHT
“Pump Priming” Attempt 4T0
I Bring Prosperity Under Guise
I 0f Defense Not Of I’er-
manent Help
Tuesday was ladies night for
IShelton Kiwanis with a special
lspcaker and program which was
enjoyed by more than a hundred
members, their'wives and guests
at dinner at Hotel Shelton. Shel—
tonites filled the banquet room to
capacity to hear the message of
the visitor, Frank Drake David-
son, of North Bend. A feature
of the evening was the Girls
Glee Club of the Shelton high
school which furnished several
classical songs, under the direc-
tion of their tutor, Miss Margaret
Mowry.
Mr. Davidson has become a.
celebrity for his learned treatment
of English and Old World history,
particularly concerning the wars
and underlying motives and
to the dictatorships of today.
Some of the details of American
participation in the World War
and the division of spoils at Ver-l
sailles, which only added to the
growing world discontent, were;
explained and recalled to memory‘
as contributing to the war flames
due soon to envelop most of the
world, including America.
People Changing Ideals
With his subject “Facing Real—
Iities” in the U. S. in the next
four years, or “What Every Amer-
ican Should Know," the speaker
went into our history for the
past decade or more to point
out that our people were gradual-
ly adopting new trends of thought,
lnot particularly concerned with
[political parties as both parties
{as such had lost their favor in
*the public mind.
This be illustrated by pointing
to the rise of Willkie, chosen by
an independent force, to lead the
Republican party in the last cam-
paign, but not very cheerfully
«accepted or supported by old par-
ty leaders. The fact that Will-
kie gained 22 million votes in
his whirlwind campaign were not
because either of his party or his-
lself, as he was to that time un—
known, but because the voters
had already formed vague ideas
in-'
trigues of the past, all tendingl

FOR NAME! SATURDAY LATEST
“I wish I Had Learned Arith-
metic Week” is now drawing to
a feverish close as income earn—
ers who have procrastinated as
long as possible desperately at—
tempt to beat the deadline for
filing 1940 income tax reports
which arrives with the last mail
leaving town next Saturday evo-
ning.
Throughout Mason County to—
day—and tomorrow and Saturday,
too men and women income
earners in brackets high enough
to make them subject to income
tax are working over papers con-
taining words and formulas puz-
zling enough to challenge the
most adept mathematicians.
The easiest part of the job is
name. From that point on the
income tax form becomes prog-
ressively tougher.
Starts Off Easily
Item one is where you state
your salary. Not too hard un-
less you've had a number of
raises (or cuts) during the year
and can’t remember just when
thoyoceurrad.-~ v r
0f dhanginginatiOnal ideals and
without regard to party rallied
to the Willkie banner. Only the
war propaganda and hysteria sav-
ed the day and brought reelec-
tion for President Roosevelt.
The speaker made plain that
he was not concerned in the pol-
itics, but dealt with the first
New Deal term and bringing
about many social experiments in-
tended to sound the cause of
national discontent, and choosing
the plan of “priming the pump”
in order to bring about recov-
ery and to discredit private capi—
tal investment as the true base
for national recovery.
Next the “make you feel good
items” come. They deal with
how much money you took in
on dividends, interest on bank
deposits, notes, mortgages, cor-
poration bonds, annunities and
fiduciaries.
That word fiduciaries sends
many a person hunting through
the dictionary. Always ready to
'be of service, we've looked it up
ourselves and pass along the in-
formation to save you the trou—
ble of doing the same. Webster
says fiduciary means holding,
held or founded in trust.
It Didn’t Work
Priming Method Not Permanent
This proved a temporary re-
lief in the first emergency but
not permanent in value since
priming had to be continued an-
other four years, yet some meas-
ure of recovery was found prior
to the election, the only light in
eight years, which soon ended;
and now comes the same idea of
priming with public funds under
war threat, which has never
been equalled in this or any oth-
r country. He urged that only
0
At “contributions paid” you be-
gin to wish you hadn't skimped
quite so" much on the Red Cross,
the T. B. Christmas seals, or the
Boy Scoiits drives.
After :’"interest paid" and “tax-
es paidfi‘ you come to “other de-
ductions authorized by law.” Here
you probably try to figure some
Way to include the doctor's bill,
the dog’s keep, or that five
bucks you think you lost out of
your pocket. Answers—you can’t.
There are places, believe-it-or
not, where you may actually smile
in the progress of filling out the
income tax form. That’s when
you run into the places where
you are allowed to take off ten
percent if you earned your own
income, $2000 if you are married,
plus additional deductions for
other dependents.
Wife Worth $2000
The baby is good for $400, each
of ’em if they’re still under 21
and living under your roof and
partaking of your bed and board.
There’s nothing you can do about
the brethren-in—law you’ve b e e n .
boarding: though.
But that’s just the lull before
the storm. Then the government
jumps in for the kill and that
calls for super-arithmetic for you
have to take four percent of
what’s left and pay it to the
goVernment for income tax. You’re
lucky if you have four percent
of anything left. x
After that there’s a little mat-
ter of defense tax, something new
to income tax reports this year.
It’s 10 per cent of what you have
to pay for income tax.
Before you seal the envelope,
don’t forget to take your report
to a notary public.‘ Thousands

Girl Scout Week To
Be Observed Locally
Girl Scouts of the several troo s
0f Shelton will attend church seri-
v1ces this Sunday as part of
their observance of National Girl
Scout birthday week, March 12
through 18.
Members of Mrs. L. W. Mor-
gans Lincoln school Brownie
Pack No. 11 will also observe
the oocasmn by attending church
next Sunday. ‘
Girl Scouting is celebrating its
thh anniversary during this per-
iod. The movement was started
by Juliette Gordon Low. inspired
by the example of Sir Robert Baa
den-Powell, founder of the Boy
time
Scout movement, on March 12,
1912. Approximately two mil-
lion girls now bclong. '
eled by Shelton’s young men and
women while musical numbers will
be interspersed between the
modelings.
The general funds of the two
P.-T. A. groups helping to spon-
sor the program will benefit from
the proceeds. In past years the
style show and musicale has been
held in Memorial Hall or the Ma-
sonic Temple, but so many peo-
ple have had to be turned away
the last couple of years that
larger quarters became necessary
to accommodate the crowds, hence
.the move this year to the junior
high auditorium. ‘
The musicals program will con-

SWIMMERS, FOREST FIRES
Summer weather has
upon Shelton and Mason County
for the past six days, bringing
clear. sunny days and tempera-
tures which winged into the
70-degree class on one occasion
and flirted with it the rest of
the period.
A 70-degree temperature read-
ing was taken at the Rayonier
weather bureau Tuesday after-
noon, followed by a 67-degree
reading yesterday and preceded
by a 66-degree reading Monday,
warmest of the year so far.
Quite to the contrary are. the
nights, however, where sub-freez-
ing temperatures have been re-
corded for the past four nights.
Twice the mercury dropped to
30 degrees, on Sunday and Tues-
day nights, while a 31 degree
reading was taken Monday night
an even freezing mark was hit
Saturday night.
Rainfall Light So Far
No precipitation has
since Friday night and in
month of March so far only
0.68 inches of rain has been
recorded on the Rayonier instru-
ments, and 0.49 inches of that
came on March 1, with 0.15 in-
fallen
the
smiled chesmore combined on the 2nd
and 3rd. The 5th and 8th each
saw 0.02 inches registered.
Swimmers Rush Season
The early spring weather has
already brought swimmers to
Lake Isabella, reports Mrs. Ed-
na Johnson of Maple Beach, while
the year’s first forest fire in
Mason County was reported Tues-
day by Aviator Ed Jeffery, who
spotted it on an unidentified hill
in the Olympic foothills behind
Eldon.
Officially the forest fire sea.-
son doesn’t start until April 15,
when District Fire Warden Char-
les Ogg takes up his duties of-
ficially, but the weatherman
seems to be no respector of this
man-made deadline this year.
Throughout the state numerous
forest fires have been reported
already, according to news dis-
patches.
Still another sign of the kind
of spring weather this area. has
enjoyed this year is to found in
the flower garden at the home
of Mrs. Charles Lentz, Fifth and
Grove streets, where wild iris,
usually blooming first in May,
are already in full bloom and
have been for several weeks.
l-Hour Parking
N ow In Effect
Along Railroad
Better start paying attention
to those brand new traffic
signs hanging from the orna-
mental light standards along
Rallroad Avenue, Mr. Motorist.
The signs were placed yes-
terday by Fire Chief Dean
Car-man, the city hall handy
man who also painted them, and
today Mayor William Steven-
son instructed Police Chief Ray
Starwich to begin enforcing the
new traffic ordinance in places
where the signs are placed.
So far that is only along
Rallroal Avenue from First to
Fifth street, where parking is
to be restricted to one hour
betWeen 8 a. m. and 6 p. In.
Other sections of town cover-
ed ln the new traffic ordinance
will be posted as quickly as
'Sign Painter Carman can get
the signs made—providing that
in the meantime public opinion
does not force the city council
to rescind the ordinance.

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
LOOP FIELD
ILLUMINATION
PLAN REVIVED
Cooperation 0f P.U.D. May Al-
low Completion Of Project
For Present. Ball
' Season
Efforts to light Loop Field in
time for the approaching base—
ball season were begun by Shel-
ton school directors Tuesday with
the appointment of Director L. A.
Walton as a committee of one
to investigate the cost of such
a project, City School Supt. H.
E. Loop announced today.
The new energy being exerted
on the Loop Field lighting pro-
gram, a plan which has been
started and dropped a number of
times in the past few years, is
the result of the pledge of com-
plete cooperation of P.U.D. No. 3
through Chairman J. F. Bischel
of the district commissioners,
Supt. Loop said.
Chairman Bischel said today the
public utility district, which now
serves the City of Shelton with
electricity through the purchase
of the West Coast Power company
property here last week, is ready
to cooperate to the fullest extent
of its powers and facilities to
bring about completion of the
Loop Field lighting project at
the lowest cost to the public.
“As a public property, P.U.D.
3 will do everything it can to
assist the school' district in
completing the lighting project
at the most reasonable cost,” Mr.
Bischel said.
The school district only recent-
ly purchased the property immed-
iately adjoining the ball park
to the east and will remove the
residence now standing on the
property in a m0ve to improve
and enlarge the athletic field.
Although the Loop Field light-
ing topic turned out to be the
main event, Tuesday’s meeting of
the school directors was actually
called for the specific purpose of
seeing what can be done about
speeding up progress on the new
gymnasium, which is now some-
thing like sixty days behind
schedule,.Harry Carlon, clerk of
the school... bard, ssidtoday. ,
Aréhitect Joe Wohleb of Olym
pia, who drew the gym plans, was
requested to exert pressure on
Contractor S. S. Mullen to speed
up the construction pace, Carlon
said.
