Things axe beautiful wh e n Spring launches the moving sap of life in plants and stirs the blood in animals, for Spring signifies a regeneration of hibernating col- or, acttvity and spirit that re- kindles our senses better to enjoy the proximate world about us. SPRING IS A birth in aIpre- hension of the Cl'CatJol] ;lud nlOVC- menL that omerges ]arntoniottsly from Winter's sleep. Spring might bc called music; or music, Spring, for Sheltonians find themselves caught this month in a rising tide of musical endeavor and opportun- ity. Already on the calendar for the next two weeks are the concert appearances of several fine col- lege groups, Students in Shelton's are olislng notes to for contests and public perform- antes. TIlE CliOIR8 in Shelton's churches are organizing to pre- sent an all-choir festival while readying special hymns, cantatas and sacred music for Easter. Born of a need for aesthetic ex- pression t.lmusands of years ago, and perfected through the ages, music hits it: lighe,t luunlents itl EUrol)eau ciLies during Winter and Spring opt, ra and concert seasons. ltarmony, tempo, unity, truth and goodness all seem to center in mu- se, drawing large crowds to Seat- tle's early Spring concers, im- printing strange emotions on the faces of those attending Chinese Operas on San Francisco's Grant street.

ENTRIES WILL BE received f:om now until the deadline date, May 9, for the afternoon program which will climax the fifth annual Forest Festival on Loop Field on May 14, Kimbel said. "Contest rules will be issued soon to all loggers who want to get into the show," hc dded. The sports show will be built around falling and bucking, high climbing, truck driving, splicing, power saw contests and a tug- o'-war tournament. WORKING WITII Kimbel on the sports show committee are Ned Rucker, Crroll Mercer. George Frisk, Jack Kimbel, Walt Sorenson, Maurtce Anderson, Ar- chie Adams, Don Sperllng, Ernie Dahman, Everett Morken and Ho- kie Hokonson. E. H. Faubert, chairman of the Festival's parade committee, an- nounces that entry blanks will soon be ready for all those enter- ing. "We will have  bigger and better parade this year than in any of the Forest Festivals in previous years," Faubert said. ALREADY GETTING plans In- to shape, Faubert revealed that a spectacular drum and bugle corps unit will be a part of the parade. Many individual groups have sent in notices they would like to enter. The children's section of the parade, renewed this year, will be under the direction of Gus Graf. Logs were splashing into Shel- ton bay this week at the fastest rate since snow shut the camps last December and the trend ap- peared to be supported by .both improved weather and stronger lumber markets. 1,'llT TR&IN of logs to leave the Simpsola, ggmg Comlmne Grisdale operstlon stnc early December pulled into Shelton with 10 cars last week. The Grisdale "haul" increased to an average of 30 cars daily this week, bolster- ing other logs going into the bay from Simpson operations at Day- ton and Mason Lake. Independent loggers hauling to Shelton and McCleary plant also were busier than in many weeks. Ralph Stevens' logging show, sere- ed by the old Camp Three railroad, shipped into Shelton this week for the first time in nearly four months. GRISDALE IS employing more than 100 men in logging and con- struction, approximately one-third of the number who will be work- ing when disappearing snows per- mit full production. Tree planting also is employing men. Oscar Levtn, managing for- ester of the South Olympic Tree Farm, has 50 men planting 1,500,- 000 Douglas fir seedlings on 2,500 acres. The general areas of re- forestation are on Clark Creek, along the Satsop river north of Elms and across Cushman Dam. Levin said that of the total plant- ings, 1,250,000 trees are being started on Simpson Logging Com- pany holdings. SHELTON PORT HEARING SET NEXT IUESDAY With only six more days to prepare for the Tuesday morning hearing on Hammersley Inlet, the Shelton Chamber of Commerce Port committee is busy preparing papers. TtlE SESSION starts at 10 a.m. March 29 in the council chambers at city hall. it will be conducted by Colonel L. H. tiewitt, of the Corps of Engineers, U, S. Army. Spearheading preparatory work has been E. H. Faubert, port com- mittee secretary, taking over from Roy J. Kimbel, who became ill and was taken to the hospital March 19. A man who helped organize Olympia's large port, F. W. Me- throE, manager of Olympia Cham- ber" of Commerce, was scheduled to meet Wednesday evening with membe of the local Chamber's port group and port commission- ers to aid them organize for the hearing. "IT IM OF UTMOST import- ance to get Army approval of the plan to blow out Cape Horn, most dangerous spot in all of Ham- mersley Inlet," E. H. IOaubert said. "We want to be sure to have a well-organlzed case to present Army Engineers Tuesday, and time is short,' In blowing Cape Horn the two sandbars on both its sides would be eliminated. Faubert expreed. Most nf the work facing the port committee consists of getting information from the tug boat companies, shippers, oil concerns and all other groups using tho inlet and harbor. The Army will want maps, statistics, definite in- formation presented In concise order, Faubert said. "INTERESTED persons are in- vited to be present or represent- ed at the hearing March 29," Colonel L. H. Hewitt said, "They will be afforded full opportunity to express their views concerning the character and extent of the improvements desired and the need and advisability of its execu- tion."

I Park Improvement For Recreation Needed, Says Luck A program calling for extended improvements to Kneend park to facilitate a Summer recreation program was laid by E. Luck be. fore 20 delegates to a community council meeting last Thursday night in the Welfare building. The improvement pogram par- alleled the suggestions Luck nade to city commissioners March 15, ] Projects cited by Luck include re- ! surfacing of the tennis court and installation of a handball court, horse shoe pitching pits with coy- ered ends, drinking fountains, we- tar supply for picnickers. Other facilities were outlined as improved wading pool, putting greens, outdoor concert bowl, mats, addition to scout hall, m ketball back-stops, outdoor check- er board, ahery range. Luck also recommended that the park be divided into two areas, one part for a playground, and the other, gardens. Regarding the financing of the program, the council feeling wus that various organizations could sponsor separate projects. Chat With Russell Brings Points On Milk Price Dro By Wiff Jemmp For many years and in earlier Brcmerton days I have had many incidents of pleasant association with "Jim" Russell, manager of the Kitsap Dairymen's Associa- tion, which cooperative group has recently taken over operation of Shelton's milk distributing facil- ities. Jim comes often to Shelton in connection with the branch business here, and it is always a pleasure to have him drop in for a chat and renewal of our friend- sh00i s REMARKS are brief and succinct, and his observation on things of the day are sometimes pithy with the meaning that can be given in a few words as only comes through the conservative speech of Scotsman, of which ';Jim" is a most glittcring exam- ple. His contribution of this woek had connection wlth what Gover- nor Langl/e has done to our econ- omy by his pen stroke in approv- ing an additional one and a half cent tax on every gallon of gaso- line that is pumpod into the au- tomobile. '+HOWEVER, it iS an ill wind," says Jim, "for the price of milk has gone down a cent." In the[ future the retail price of milk lu 1 Shelton will bc down a cent to nlnetccn cents a quart for either the bottle or papcr container. Jim is a Cafiadian veteran of the First World War and as proof, he can point to an empty sleeve that donotcs a useful mem- ber was left in the mud of Finn- ders. Russell was a member ot either the "Pats" or the "Sea- forths" that wen4 along from Canada and became known by the Germans as 'rhose Ladles From HelL" t In talking about the pa@er con, r P taine s for milk, Mr+ Russell gave a couple of useful suggestions for their us after being emptied of their orginal contents that could only come from the mental pro- cess of the Scotch. Carry a few of them along in the car and in the event of a fiat tire or break- down at night, just set them afire and they serve as illumination and flares, maintaining a bright flare for 15 minutes. Another use for tho container is to remove the staple at the top and after giving the insides a good cleans- ing, pack them with fruit and other produce for the deep freeze, POLLUTION FILMS SHOWN KIWANIANS Pollution and pollution control, described by word and motion pic- ture gave interest to the weekly Shelton Kiwanis Club luncheon at Memorial Hall on Tuesday. AI- - fred Neale, chief engineer of the State Pollution commission was the speaker and he presented,& colored film that demostratb the ravages from stream and W terway pollulion and the remeie for eradicating the trouble
