Preparations tTestimonial Banquet Fetes
For Festival Simpson Executives Tonite
Gaining Speed
With the job of publicizing the
]947 Mason County Forest Fes-
tival off to a good start last week,
Chairman Rudy Werberger an-
nounced today that the festival
organization would urge all Shcl-
ton and Mason county people to
write to relatives and friends at
distant points to come here for a
visit during the annual celebration
period, to see just what would be
in store for them in the way of
an outstanding community observ-
ance.
Chairman Werberger and some
of his committee members visited
at McClcary, Elms mid Montesano
last week, carrying the message
of the Forest Festival and being
given assurances that community
workers of those adjacent towns
would get behind the celebration
and would have delegations here"
and participants in the big par-
ade.
MeCleary, Elms, Monte to Ilelp
At McCleary, Don Clark, super-
intendent of the big Simpson Sash
and Door and plywood plants, was
enlisted to interest the McCleary
Chamber of Commerce in the fes-
tival and he assured his visitors
that the neighboring community
would probably be represented in
the big procession on-May 17 and
that further support would be
forthcoming.
Elma's ChronicIe publisher Dave
Dlckson gave similar assurances
of his community'@ interest in
An appreciative community will
show its gratitude for the efforts
that industrial leadership of the
Simpson Logging company has
accomplished to contribute to the
general development and well be-
ing here tonight at a banquet to
honor William G. Reed Chris H.
Kreienbaum and George Drake.
The banquet will start at 6 o'clock
at Masonic Temple, with Roderic
Olzendam serving as master of
ceremonies and directing a pro-
gram that is said to contain many
features of a surprise nature
which will entertain the several
hundred guests who will attend.
Guests are asked to be at the
Masonic Temple at 6 o'clock sharp
so that seating may be accom-
plished without confusion. Three
guest books will be signed by each
person attending and these in turn
will be presented to each of the
honored guests as a memento of
the occasion. In addition to this
gesture of thknkfulness to the
three ;impson officials, each is to
be awarded a handsome gift by
President Roy Ritner of the
Chamber of Commerce, under
whose auspices the testimonial
dinner is being given.
To assist in seating the guests,
a group of high school girls will
serve as amherettes, while music
during the dining hour will be
furnished by the high school or-
chestra under direction of Lynn
Sherwood, high school music di-
rector. Other musical numbers are
planned in addition to a series of

manner that unlawful acts injur-
ious to business and the public-
could be controlled by injundtion.
4. The Wagner act should be re-
pealed or so modified as to place
labor and industry on an equal
basis and the National Labor Re-
lations Board should be a non-
partisan board and their findings
should be reviewable by the courts.
5. The closed shop by coercion
should be prohibited.
6. Industry - wide bargaining
should be outlawed. It gives
unions the power to interfere with
interstate commerce.
7. Sympathetic strikes and sec.
ondary boycotts should be forbid-
den.
8. Jurisdictional strikes should
be outlawed.
9. The tez "labor d i s p u t e"
should be clarified.
I0. Strikes directly effccting the
public-at-large, such as the coal
and maritime strikes, should.be
settled by arbitration and if that
fails by a special labor court.
11. Labor unions sh0ulcl be held
accountable under their contracts.
12. Money paid into unions by
rank-and-file should (exclusive
of
overhead) be held in trust for the
benefit of the contributing mem-
bers in case of need; should not be
spent for political purpose; and
should e acconnted for by regular
reports to some proper department
of government.

A series of suggestions as a cure
for present labor problems, ad-
vanced by Attorney J. W. Graham
in an address before the Shelton
Kiwanis Club at their weekly
hmcheon meeting Tuesday wilI be
adopted into a resolution and sent
to the central Kiwanis organiza-
tion for its consideration. The de-
cision to broadcast the suggestions
came at the conclusion of Mr.
Graham's eloquent and construct-
ive analysis of the labor dilemma
that confronts the national Con-
gross .cud state legislature today.
Mr. Graham in his address sug-
gested 'that:

form a partnership and as such
thSy should be able to work to-
gether and advise each other of
their problems, casting aside all
bias and prejudice, and to settle
their differences by the exercise of
reason and intelligence.

impossible now. because of the fact
tlmt communists control a good
many unions and their program is
dedicated to disrupt, confnse and
destroy. The same conditibn will
exist where racke'teers are per-
mietcd to operate in influential
union positions, as their wealth
and power comes from controversy t
and that commmists and raek-[
eteers should be eliminated. )

Music Brings
600 Students
Appreciation of Shelton organi-
zations' generous response to the
present Red Cross fund drive was
expressed this week by chairman
of the drive, Jack Gray, Who spec-
ifically called attention to the un-
solicited contribution by the Shel-
Con Educational Association, a
teachers' organization comprised
of all Shelton instructors.
M:r. Gray also stated that the
Red Cross was grateful to the
Simpson Logging Company for af-
fording the transportation and op-
portunity for four workers to visit
both of the logging camps. Those
who made the trip were Mrs. W.
F. MeCann. Mrs. Helschel Bates,
Mrs Jack Gray and Mrs. George
Young.
It was also announced this week
that the Red Cross office in the
Shelton Hotel Will remain open
until all workers have had an op-
portunity to turn in their envel-
opes.
Among the organizations first to
contribute, according to Mr. Gray,
were the Americm Legion, the
V.F.W., the 40 et 8 md the aux-
iliaries of these veterans' Kroups.

RED CROSS FUND DRIVE GETTING
GENEROUS, UNSOLICITED DONORS
America will always rmed the Red Cross.
We, of Mason County, are urged to keep that in
mind when we are asked sometime soon if not already
to renew our annual gift to that greatest of all human-
itarian organizations.
Don't think in terms of less this year because the
war is over. The Red Cross is a wonderful war time
organization, but its mission is not primarily, one of
war service. In fact, down through the years since the
days of Florence Nightengale, its greatest service to
humanity has been one of peace. A service of relief
in disaster, in epidemic, in the assuaging human distress
and suffering in whatever form.
Yes, we can give safely and liberally to the Red
Cross in the confidence that what we give will be used
in the interests of those who need it in times of dis-
tress and suffering regardless of their race, color or
creed.
But the-war• is not yet over for many veterans"
who still face long months, years and in some cases
the rest of their lives in hospitals and in this loo our
annual Red Cross contributions will play a leading role.
