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.

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

The improvement pogram par-
alleled the suggestions Luck nade

Projects cited by Luck include re- !
surfacing of the tennis court and

horse shoe pitching pits with coy-
ered ends, drinking fountains, we-
tar supply for picnickers.

park be divided into two areas,

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
