Born at a caucus of the AEF in 19.19 in Paris, the American Legion has dedicated its efforts and abili- ties tb a continuing service to God and country, in the process becoming the world's largest veterans' organ.- izat ion. From its beginning, the Legion has endeavored to devel- op a dynamic conviction of Americanism as the only sure method for the preservation and perpetuation of a world- wide peace which honors the dignity of the individual. The American Legion's many contributions to the bet- terment of America are immeasurable. The Legion has been and continues to be an active proponent of a militarily strong America. The Legion ia an important factor in keep- ing love of country at a high premium, in the great increase in home ownership, in the enlightened streamlining of child welfare concepts, in the defense of our free institutions, and in the improvement of care for the disabled, and the aged. Thro'aqh countless services it has performed in its respective communities, the Legion has become identi- fied by Americans everywhere as an organization good ]or any home town. On this 43rd anniversary of the American Legion the Journal joins its Mason County neighbors in saluting Fred B. Wivell Post No. 371. here in our community and the millions of Legionnaries throughout the country in their continuing :mdeavors in behalf of community, state and nation. FOREST FOLKS CONVENE HERE Befitting its destiny as a forest community, the Shelton- Mason County timber-hub has been a bee-hive of action for various groups of men convening to study subjects relating to trees and forest products the past few days. And more is to come. Lcn Flower, chief ranger for the Shelton district, and Don Warman, chief ranger for the Hoodsport district, hosted over 60 U. S. Forest Service contemporaries for four days last week, a group which caused a minor boom by filling every available vacancy at the Shelton Hotel, the City Cen- ter Motel, the Mill Creek Motel and spilled over into the quarters at Hoodsport. During virtually the same period, another 80 men of the State Department of Natural Resources from all parts of the state gathered here for conferences on managing and protecting state-owned lands and for field trips to Mason County areas where such problems could be studied in lab- oratory form. This week Sheltm and Mason County welcomes members of the Northwest Christmas Tree Growers As- sociation, who will talk over problems and tour local Ch ristmas tree farms to see at first hand how some of these problems are beiny Solved. Next week Flower and Warman will again be hosts to another body of 50 or more Forest Service men for another conference. One of the factora which helps bring groups such as these to Shelton for their conferences, besides the natural geographical proximity to the field of discussion and study, is the excellent conferenCe quarters available in the PUD 3 auditorium. Flower said the Forest Service has been strongly influ- enced by availability of this service, w.hich the PUD fur- nishes without charge. No equal quarters are to be had in Olympia or other communities in the southwest. Anyway, whatever the various reasons they come to Shelton to hold their conferences and field tours, they are warmly welcome. We hope they come more often.

Lellers io ihe Edilor IIAI{STINE CLUB ANSVERS MAINLAND LETTER WilITERS Mr. William Dickie Editor. the Journal On motion duly made and sec- onded at the regttlar meeting of Harstine Island Social Club on March 9. I was instructed to write to you with the request that you publish this letter. We read in last week's Journal the letters written by Mrs. Rends- land. Over'taxed Inc., and Mrs. Livingston to our county commis- sioners and feel that a misunder- standing prompted them to write us they did. In one of these letters, it was stated that il was the writer's belief that "ccess of any kind to Harstine Island was of little value l.o the rest of Mason County. In making this statement the writer (lid not ta.ke into consideration the fact that Harstine Island has 25 miles of waterfront which is be- ing developed and when developed will greatly increase the assessed valuation of Harstine Island prop- m:ty. This, we believe, together with the many new yes]dents this developmem will bring (added to those of us now living here) is a great potenl.ia] for the wtmle of Mason County, and should not be (tisrega rded. The writers of these letters seemed to be of the opinion that Harstine Island residents wanted "something for hi)thing" and were not agrecable to the ferry rate in- crease which was effective March I.. \\;Ve want to gn till record as having approved lhe ferry rate raise which was effective March 1. We reel that we were due for a rate increase, as all costs of living and transportation have been so long on an inflationary spiral. Just as a matter of informa- tion, our ferry rates for passen- ger cars went from 16-2/3 cents to 33-1/3 cents each way with the purchase of Commuter's Books Jotm L.

Above, three full bags are displayed by Tim Anstey, Stephen Anstey and Paul Graffe of the local Boy Scout organization. (Plmto by Dean.) Local Official Returns From Convention Charles Savage, business agent and safety director "for Local 38 of the International Woodwork- ers Association recently returned to Shelton after attending a three day district con, vent]on of the union in Portland. According to Savage the con- vention dealt mainly with  study of profits and taxes of various wood products companies in the states within the district.--Wash- ington, Oregon. Idaho and part of Montana--.and the adoption of several resolutions in different or from 25 cents to 50 cents per ear each way without Conmmt- er's Books which is just double tim prewous rates and approxim- ately the same fare charged for car and driver when crossing the N8 rroMs Bridge, near Tacoma. which cost 700 times as much as oflt Derry; also, we have no ferry service after 6:00 p.m. to or' from Harstine Island except on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, when there West Germans Slated To Visit Simpson P/ants Seven executives of West Ger- man plywood and particle board manufacturers will visit Simpson Timber Compauy plants today and tomorrow in Shelton and Mc- Cleary.

BREAKS LEG SKIING Mrs. Rocky Hembroff suffered a broken bone in her left leg while skiing at Lake Tahoe last Thurs- day during a vacation trip with her husband and Mr, and Mrs. Stan Parker. The two Shelton cou- ples returned to their homes Tues- day. fields of importmme to the nnion, Incbkded was a resolution to ask for legislative action in maLters vital tO the nnion such as safety. Savage said, "This is not in Recping with the procedures of I.W.A. conventions in lhe p,st. Previously they have dealt nmiuly with negotiations between labor and nmnagement." Savage spoke favorably of this type of action which he feels is a "new trend". Other matters brought uniter discussion at the convention were wage increase, education of work- ers, auLomaLion, and the promo- tion of more parks and recrea- tional facilities for workers who have. more spare /:imc now than in the past. Accompanying Savage as Local 38 delegates to tim convention were Odel] Ritchey, Vern Satter- ihwaite and Walt Swinhart, the latter' of Camp Grisdale. .ocal Delegates To Attend UnionAssembly Local union delegates and. man- agement representatives from the Olympic Research Division of Rayonier Incorporated will attend the 16th Anmml Labor-Manage- ment Safety Conference of the pulp and paper industry to be ileld in Seattle March 15 and 16. Local No. 161, International Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulfite, and Paper Mill Workers will be rep- resented by John L. Luhm and Paul Stcensen. Management rep- resentatives will be E. L. Lovell, J. M. Taylor, and R. J. Conca. Management and labor repres- entatives will attend to review the results of the past 15 conferences, receive awards and seek ways of improving an already impressive safety record. The 16th annivers- ary confermce, with an expected attendance of more than 400, will celebrate the 88 percent reduction in injury rate achieved from the start of the program in 1946. The 39 injuries per million man-hours w(u'ked in 1945 were reduced to 4,;; injuries per million man-hours" worked by the end of 1961. Leaders of management and la- t)or alike join in the belief that Lhe safety .conference program has been a leading factor in the dramatic re(|uction in human suf- fering in Pacific Coast pulp and paper mills. Conservative esti- mates place the disabling indust- rial injuries prevented during the /6 years of the labm'-management safety pr'ogram at more than 19,- 000. The Olympic Research Divi- sion will again receive a zero fre- quency award for their successful completion of another year with- out a disabling injury.
