WHAT IS A NON-DEFENSE AREA?
After having new building discouraged for months
because of lack of priorities for certain essentials in so—
called non-defense areas, now comes an order prohibiting
all non-essential home construction or repairs costing more:
than $500 on the plea that all must be turned to all-out!
defense needs.
Shelton has been considered not a defense area, yet
all its industries are operating entirely for defense pro-l
duction whose employees occupy all its available homes,
with many families housed here with their men folks be-
ing transported to Bremerton on a half-dozen round stage
daily; and a new airport under construction.
There are several newcomers a day combing Shelton
for a place to house their families without much success
and some are buying in order to secure a home; but this
does not relieve the situation which demands many new
houses in and around this community to house defense
‘.'v'OI'l’.CX‘S and save the home front. ;
Fever-ish building is going on in and near all army
and defense operations, all government financed, to mon-'
opolize materials, while in communities within easy‘
reach like Shelton, it only needs some encouragement and
a trifle diversion of material to add many of the needed
new homes, now and for the growing demand for the
year ahead. l
The powers-that-be have no thought for civilian needs
or morale, for maintaining that part of the community
which is behind the men behind the guns, nor for the
carrying on of small business and industry which now
has the job of supporting the home folks and furnishing;
the ‘sinews of war,” which is the real power behind the}
winning of the war. i
Judging by the weekly handout of orders regulating
everything under the sun and in the home and domesticl
life the people are becoming “nuts” in the confusion of;
trying to keep up and out of jail, following the million:
ideas of the million bureaucrats on the national payrolls
working with more or less cross-purpose as proven by the
rapid change of their weekly orders.
DISCLAIMS RELATIONSHIP
In another column will be found an advertisement
from the Standard Oil Company of California, directing
attention to the fact that this Coast concern has no con-
nection, nor is it involved in any way in the recent federal
claims of Standard Oil of New Jersey collusion with a
German concern over synthetic rubber.
While it is now coming out that there was nothing of
discredit in the dealings several years ago, and the syn-
thetic patents were offered this country and turned down,
the story appears merely another effort to discredit large
business interests and cover past mistakes; and the refusal
to give equal publicity for stories which prove untrue}
Standard Oil of California is now put to considerable ex-
pense to point out to the public that they have no relation .
with the Eastern company. i
The new Safeway building nearing completion on a
prominent corner of the business district marks an im-
portant step in the progress of Shelton for 1942, even if
the outlook for much improvement during the year is not
very encouraging to those who would build anew or im-
prove the old. l
However, there is much that can be done in the build-
ing line in'spite of the handicaps which are being imposed,
and it should be possible to secure the modest amount of
material and fixtures required for any small home or for
modernizing the old homes to relieve the situation for
newcomers. '
There should be an extra effort on the part of all who
cater to building operations to encourage those who are
inclined to get into homes of their own, because Shelton,
must not be allowed to stagnate or mark time, but must
show new life and a measure of progress in the record of
1942.
PROGRESS FOR SHELTON IN 1942
CONSERVING PAPER
The government is out with the request that everybody
save paper in all forms, and the collection of waste has,
been started here as elsewhere by Boy Scouts and otherl
groups, for which some form of use in coarse products Willi
be found. >
The cheapest forms of paper, such as newsprint of
which there is so much, can be reclaimed and made into
boxes, pulp boards and other articles of common use, and
to a large extent will replace the use of wood in boxing
and packaging of merchandise.
Of course, the government is the largest user of paper
in all forms, but particularly in the better grades of paper,
and can be the largest saver; in fact, the greater quantityi
of paper used in flooding the mails and the newspaper of-
fices could well be saved at the source.
However, we can all save paper by not demanding bags
and covers at the stores for every little item, just as we can
help the merchants by carrying light goods home to save
deliveries and help them cut costs; the millions can save
tons if they will Without harming their service. .
SETTLIN G PARKING HEADACHE
While the parking problem in Shelton is not as bad as
it was under normal conditions of cars, tires and gas, and
was likely to continue, the City Council has approved the!
plan of cutting the unwatered park strips around the post-
office block, and will make this space available for park-
ing for the summer. This improvement with the new spaces
opened near the L. M., new Safeway and M. & S. stores, will ,
offer extra inducement for out of town folks to come herei
for their shopping. 1
And in this connection it is worth noting that the can
restrictions will have a marked effect in boosting the busi-
ness of home merchants to make up for the losses of trade .
which formerly went elsewhere, providing they go after it|
in earnest. In fact, Shelton, along with the smaller towns
of the country near the larger trade centers, must offer all
indncement possible to encourage home trading for the
home towns each have their own problems of keeping upl
with the war restrictions and demands for money and need l
all the trade to enable them to keep serving.
