SHOWING PRIDE IN YOUR CITY
Shelton has reached the stage in its homes and
business buildings and in its paved streets and side:
walks, which calls for a united effort to improve raw
places along its streets and parking strips sandwmhu
ed between the brighter spots of citizens who take}
pride in their homes and surroundings.
Many cities have improved their entrances thru
the work of local civic clubs, and as the resident or
visitor approaches these cities they remark on the
improvement 0f shrub and flowers, but then the un-
kept spots they find on their way through sp01ls the
more or less favorable impression.
Shelton’s layout and general appearance coin-
pares with any, but its main street, Railroad Avenue. i
presents a one-sided problem with its railroad track
which is older, even, than the town, and will stay as
long as logs are hauled from the interior and the
shops and industry, the main support, remain.
Efforts have been made in the past to 1mprove
the four block strip between the paving and tracks
on company right of way, but now the ladies of the
Garden Club have tackled the job in earnest, and.
raised a goodly fund to show that the citizens are
really interested and willing to do their part in help-1
mg.
The ladies will now work out their plans for mak- ;
ing this strip a thing of beauty, in lawn and shrubs;
planned through the seasons, and expect to make the
avenue a fitting setting for the postoffice lawn; and;
the public can appreciate the contrast of the old with
the new order which interested citizens visualized
when they urged the civic center. This is a job in;
which every citizen may play some part. g

CASHING IN ON DELINQUENT LANDS ,
Grays Harbor County, which like Mason has;
acquired a vast holding of lands for delinquent taxes, 1
had a very successful sale last week and brought in,
a lot of new money as well as replacing the property!
on the tax rolls, and indicating a lively interest in,
real estate. I
‘ In that county there werelmany pieces of city
property as well as industrial sites, and while Mason ,
County has no city property to sell it has a larg
acreage of logged and other lands waiting to be pick-
ed up for low prices; Shelton is a city without tax
delinquency.
Heretofore the county has endeavored to recoverl
its lost taxes and penalties, but now plans to accept-
applications for any lands at whatever offer is made, i
but subject to competitive bids after cruising and ad- .
vertising when the day of sale comes. 3
- Mason County has thousands of acres of logged
lands that are now coming into demand and profit
for raising and cutting of Christmas trees, or some.
scattered timber for those who locate it, and thesei
lands go as low as a dollar an acre, which is a good‘
investment in many cases and worth taking a chanc‘e'
on. A general sale is planned soon. i
AFTER THE GARBAGE DUMPER
Along with the effort of good citizens to beau-i
tify the city and highway surroundings and removei
offensive conditions the officers are trying to findi
the miscreants who dump their garbage along theg
roads and the side-roads, and the public is asked to,
repOrt any person they notice doing this trick around‘
Shelton. Perhaps they can’t be made to “rub their,
noses” in the mess they leave, but they can be made
to remove it or suffer for violation of sanitary laws.
Shelton maintains a garbage collection at fifty centsz
a month, or individuals can carry their home refuse,
mostly tin cans, out to the dump as easily as it can,
be dumped on the property of others. While public:‘
health is the main objective, public decency: is im-
portant. 1
“STICKING” THE PUBLIC
Outside ’of those who are concerned about the
future of industry and the communities few people
paid much attention to the administration move to
take most of the Olympic peninsula into the primi-
tive reserve and turn it over to the Park service.
Secretary Ickes now gives the sportsmen andi
outing enthusiasts something to think over in his}
recent order that they must pay $1 per week or $3,
a season for the privilege of fishing in the Olympic,
and all other national parks, as well as state license;
Scandinavia,
there sprang up overnight signs that
l many also
They paid little attention when the bill was slip-.
ped through our legislature giving the federal gov-
ernment jurisdiction over fish and game in the park,:
nor have they said much about the park service push-.
ing out the forestry service, the only one which has:
protected all interests. I
This merely serves to make clear the growing
centralization of government and control of pubiic,
as well 'as depriving the ordinary citizen of his right
of hiking through its wilds without paying for theE
privilege; every move costing that much more for:
the joy of living. "

In the Balkans and Near East.
where combined Russo-German
pressure has been kept to a mini-
mum because of the Finnish war,
the dictator nations had reached a
working agreement. Italy, long
fearful of Russian aggression in the
Balkans, was reported negotiating
a trade pact with Moscow under
Nazi auspices. Meanwhile, Ger-
