However, production of these bandages and compresses for em- ‘ergency use has been delayed at , the present for want of more old 5 sheets and table linen.

O, 6017 S. ‘7 867i PORTL so, onseox Serious as such ah activity rightfully should be, Sunday’s practice air raid wasn’t without its light moments, too. There was, for instance, the 'loy Scout who served as a “bomb casualty" and supposedly had his left foot blown off. When Dr. H. L. Kennedy came around to inspect the “victim” he found no tourniquet had been applied to the wounded lad, so promptly (1c- clared: “This victim bled to death.” To which the “victim” replied: “Gee. I wish Benny Peckham would die, too, so I could have company.” This was one of the bugs which developed in the practice, but in tracing responsibility for the oversight Dr. Kennedy found the lad had been cared for by a cou- ple of individuals who had not received first aid training and shouldn’t have been in the cm- crgency hospital. i Man or Horse? Another phase of the same in- cident also enlightened the pro- ceedings, for in reporting the theoretical mishap to control cen- ter the air raid warden got a bit excited and said a “man has had his left front foot blown off.” 3 Another air raid warden, evi- dently looking for excitement, telephoned control center and re- ported, “Say, nothing’s happened around here yet.” Still another air raid warden i wasn’t going to be fooled by jok- lers, when he couldn’t locate the ;address at which his “incident” [was to occur, so phoned control center and reported, “There is no such place as 304 Pine street,” and promptly hung up. The inci- dent, which actually should have 1 happened at 204 Pine street, nev- er did “occur” as no further word was heard from that warden. wasn’t Impressed Brasshats didn’t impress one air raid warden, Guy Hutchinson, and since part of his job in case of an air raid is to keep people 3 off the streets who have no busi- ness being out he took it to mean what. it said, so when Chairman Bob Trenckmann and Secretary Charles R. Lewis of the Defense 'Advisory Council wandered past Hutchinson’s home on a. tour of inspection he promptly ordered them to “get the h--l off the .strect.” They did. Another oddity of the practice was the report that the alarm and all clear signals were heard out at Tahuya and yet sections .of Hillcrest did not hear them de- spite being on the alert for the, while beyond Hillcrest as far as iLake Isabella the signals were i heard. 3 ; MOOSE PICK NEW OFFICERS TONITE 1 Officers to guide affairs of the' Moose Lodge here for the 1942- 43 term will be elected this eve- ,Dlng at the lodge’s regular semi- ,monthly meeting in Moose Hall. ‘Nonunations were made at the | last meeting.

SHELTON, HUNT PRIZES T0 Over one thousand prize eggs have been provided by Shelton merchants for this year's annual kiddies caster egg hunt which will be held in the city park at one o'clock this Sunday afternoon, as usual under the sponsorship of the Active Club. Among the 1000-plus prize eggs bearing the Active Club’s name which will be worth fifty in defense stamps to the finders, who should present them to Gene Hanson, hunt chairman, at the band stand in the park immedi- ately upon laying hands on them. Many of the other prize eggs also will be redeemed in ten cent defense stamps as over half of the merchants who provided the prize eggs indicated they would award defense stamps to the youngsters who found their eggs, Chairman Hanson announced. In addition to the prize eggs, sixty pounds of candy eggs in glassine bags will be scattered about the park for the enjoyment of the youngsters. The hunt will be conducted in three age divisions again this year, tots of one through four years being segregated into their, own section of the park, another group of five, through seven years having a second section to them- selves, while the oldest group of eight through eleven years will have still another area. to hunt in. Hanson explained. No boys or girls of twelve years or more will be eligible to parti- cipate in the hunt, he emphasiz-i ed. Boy Scouts will assist the Ac- tivians in conducting the hunt. All boys and girls of Mason County up through eleven years old are invited to take part in the fun. The hunt will take place rain BE! * AWARDED K193i will be twenty special prize eggs, cents .

Officially, the fire season op— which it is necessary to Secure 'fire permits before any burning can be done outside the boundar— , ies of incorporated towns, reminds District Fire Warden George lFrisk, who urges all individuals iand groups who have necessary burning to do it immediately. 4 Furthermore, sometime in the [fore part of May, the Interceptor Command warns it will prohibit issuance of any fire permits what- ever, Warden Frisk pointed out. The reason for this order arises from the necessity of keeping smoke from being a protection to possible enemy invasions or bomb- ings, he explained. Burnings which must be done should be done in such small quantities that they can be black- ed out inside of ten minutes if 51y attended and that they be done or shine, Chairman Hanson 'prom-' in the daylight hOUFS'J'US't as mUCh ised. Any ‘Congnunity May Have Fire Demonstration Any community in Mason County desiring a similar demon- stration of fire fighting equip- ment and technique such as that staged at Union last Sunday may have it by contacting District Fire Warden George Frisk. A three-hour demonstration was put on by Frisk, Assistant War- den Charles Ogg. Elma CCC Camp Foreman Frank Davis, and Don Fraser and Harry Curl of the Port Orchard district fire staff in which equipment for a ten-man crew was used. Out of the large crowd which witnessed the demonstration such a ten-man crew was drafted and put through the actual motions of controlling and extinguishing a grass fire. (For further details read Union news on another page of this edition). The equipment brought out by Warden Frisk and his crew con- sisted of a 350 tank truck with a two-cycle portable pumper, and a fourvcycle portable pumper also, plus other equipment appur- tent to- the complete unit. Building Permit Drought Broken Three building permits the first issued since Jordan Clapper beCame city auditor—were taken out last week and this to break a long drought in that department. Walter Cg Knight placed an $800 valuation on, the new ma- terials he expects to need for two new residences he intends to erect on the site of his present home at 825 First street. Mr. Knight will use the material of the old building, which he intends to tear down, and will do the work him- self, so actual valuation will be much more than the $800 indicat- ed on the building permit. A. F. Hemenway took out a permit to construct a new house, garage and woodshed valued at $2,000 in Olympic View Addition, and Mrs. Mary Packard placed a $350 valuation on remodeling work she plans for her home at 122 Harvard street.

Arrangements to bring the spe- cial civilian defense speaking corps from Shelton were complet- ed Monday by F. R. Williams, re- cently appointed senior air raid as possible. Warden Frisk pointed out that all burnings must be done in ac- cordance with the. blackout regu- lations set forth by the county commissioners, which make it a crime punishable by fine or jail sentence or both for failure to comply with the blackout rules as set forth by the U. S. Army. Until such time as all deputy district fire wardens are named (most of them have been already) anyone noticing fire in the woods or brush should call the fire of- fice in Shelton, which will be open 24 hours a day from now on.

E. Parker, retired Simpson cmployc, as experts on timber protection. In opening the subject Mr. portance of preserving timber for future support of the community, and particularly of guarding the young growth from fire danger during the coming season, which promises more than the hazards. He urged the necessity for greater caution on the part of all who enter the woods or pass along the highways, and for the cooperation of farmers and oth— ers within reach in joining the lfll‘e fighting forces to check woods fires and prevent their spread to endanger their own as Well as public and'private timber. Emphasis was given to the ex- tra-ordinary dangers of the sea- gson, beginning with the early spring, rapid spreading fern and brush fires and through the sum- mer which already promises to be drier than usual, and with lit- tic of last year‘s logging slwh burned because of the wet period last fall when this work should have been done. all adding to the hazards which call for re- ‘doubled effort, not to speak of the dangers from sabotage and enemy action. Mr. Drake pointed out that ex- tensive fires mean a heavy pail of smoke over the Northwest and far out to sea as affording an excellent cover for enemy inva- ,of our owu defense forces, and warned of the danger to our own homes, towns and industries should such conditions get out of hand and our people become care- less.

A radio message picked up by the UnitedPress listening post at San Francisco brought the first word of the whereabouts of Encerti since the fall of Glfam, where he was employed in a civ— ilian position. The message, as quoted in the Vallejo (Calif) Times-Herald, that city being Mr. Encerti’s home and the present residence, too, of Mrs. Encerti, said: “I wish to convey this message to my Wife and son, Larry, living at 112 Bella Vista Way, Vallejo. Calif. “I am interned at Kobe. My health is good. Japanese govern- ment is treating us very well and this is the truth. Please do not worry. Have good beds and the food is excellent. Please do not worry about the outcome of my well-being. But above all I am anxious to be back with you and son. You may write or communi- cate with congressman and sena- tor and tell them to try to ex- pedite the transfer of nationals because all of us would like to be back in the U. S. with out fam— ilies. Many thanks to all.” Mr. Encerti had been employed by the Navy Department on Guam since August, 1939, as a power plant operator after having serv- ed his apprenticeship at the Mare Island Navy Yard. at Vallejo.
