GOOD CAUSE FOR OELEBRATION
The American I mgion celebrates its 43rd anniversary
this week with some 17,000 community posts and 14,000
auxiliary units throughout the United States noting the
nation's largest collective birthday party.
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.

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

Montana--.and the adoption of
several resolutions in different

for legislative action in maLters

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.

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.
