Faced with an ever-increasing
problem of juvenile delinquency
in Shelton and Mason county, 10-
cal authorities in both city and
county government are working
together in an effort to find a
satisfactory solution to the prob-
lem.
City Attorney Charles R. Lewis
opened the subject last Thurs-
day evening at the City Council
meeting when he called upon that i
body to offer their reactions to
*Y LOCAL AUTHORITIES'
a proposed plan to employ an of- i
ficer who will be concerned solely
with juveniles and their problems.
“Our juvenile problem is a very
serious one,” Mr. Lewis told the
council, “and it is bound to be-
come more so with themushroom
like growth of our community.
Our law enforcement officers are
doing the best job they can,” he
continued, “but they have adult
law breakers to deal with and
[cannot devote enough time to the
problems of the juveniles."
N0 Supervision
Lewis pointed out that with so
many parents working, a large
number of children are left with-
out supervision from the time
I they get out of school until late
, in the evening.

COL. SANDERSON,
MARINE VETERAN,
HOME ON VISIT
Col. Lawson H. Sanderson, best
known in his boyhood home of
Shelton as “Woody,” dating from
his school and college athletic
days, was home for the first time
in two years, visiting his mother,
Mrs. L. E. Sanderson, and as
many old friends as possible in
the brief release from active
duty.
Since September, he had been
in the thick of the fighting on
Guadalcanal, as operations offi-
cer of the Marine Air forces, mak-
ing regular observation trips from
areas, and in addition to his num—
erous past service insignia, bears
the special “Guadalcanal” badge.
He arrived Friday in a little over
four hours flight from San Diego,
flew over town, found the airfield
torn up and landed at McChord.
He left for home Tuesday evening.
Col. Sanderson’s record of ser-
vice covers more than 25 years,
all on active flying duty in the
Marines, which is equalled by a
very few men now in war service,
since it dates back to his entry
in the Marines in the World War
after leaving Montana University
in 1917. After his ground and
flight training he became a. full-
fledged pilot and decided upon his
career in the air, one of his ear-
lier exploits being in command of
a squadron of old De-Haviland
bombers powered by Ford’s Lib-

Camera Club Will
Hold Salon Here
The Shelton Camera Club mem-
bers will display their largest Sa-
lon of Photographic Prints so far
attempted, next month, from May
4 through 17. An innovation this
year will be an opportunity for
the public to choose their three
favorite prints.
The Salon will be exhibited at
the Shelton Public Library and
the voting will be from the 4th
until 4 o’clock the afternoon of
the 8th. A ballot box and ballots
will be provided.
On Saturday evening, May 8,
the club will hold its annual ban‘
quet and will have as its guests
three members of the Seattle Pho-
tographic Society, who will judge
the pictures and award the prizes.
Announcements of the results of
both the popular vote and the
judging will be posted in the lib-
rary on May 10, and names of the
exhibitors will also be placed on
the pictures. The public will thus
have an opportunity to compare
its tastes with those of recog-
nized photographic experts.

Will Americans Be More Tender With
Their Money Than Lives of Their Sons
Washington, D. C.-‘—A blunt challenge—whether Amer-
icans will be more tender with their money than with the
lives of their sons—confronts U. S. citizens as they prepare to
meet the app
eal of thehgoverpment to put an additional 13
billionv‘dollars into thefig‘ht wine. next three 'weeks.~
American dollars which run off to
some cozy shelter to hide while
American boys are dying to defend
our cities and towns from destruc-
tion and invasion will face a rising
demand from all classes of patriotic
citizens to come out and fight.
Millions of workers who now are
buying War Bonds regularly out of
current income must lend extra
money to their government during
I the Second War Loan campaign
(which started April 12).
In recognition of the spirit of sac-
‘rifice which is sweeping over the
land as our troops swing into of-
fensive action in Africa and await
the signal for a landing in Europe,
the Treasury Department is offering
' a series of government bonds to fit
every pocketbook.
No matter whether Americans buy
,the familiar Series E Bonds or 2%
per cent bonds or 2 per cent bonds
or tax certificates, they will be doing
their part to. make the Second War
Loan drive a success.
Consumer Spending Too High.
Consumer spending in 1942 was
I
much too high to meet the war situa-
tion of 1943. Last year more than
82 billion dollars of our soaring na-
tional income went to feed the de-
sires of Americans for clothes, rec-
reation, foods and luxuries. As these
items grow scarcer, more of our in‘
come must be diverted from such
expenses into government bonds.
During 1942 millions of our fathers,
sons, relatives and friends were in
training here and abroad. Some
were already in action. Casualties
were beginning to bite into every
community. War Bonds became a
vital link between the home and
fighting fronts.
Today sacrifice has become a way
of life for America’s fighting men.
Civilian spending on the 1942 scale
must go out the window if the home
folks are to attempt to match the
heroism of our boys at the front.
Not every American can take his
place in a bomber or in a foxhole
or on a fighting ship but he can fire
away at the enemy by lending
money to the government.

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
FIRE DESTROYS
HISTORIC HOME
AT UNION CITY
Flames destroyed a historic
Hood Canal landmark last Thurs-
day, when the old McReavy-Dalby
home at Union burned completely
to the ground. Only a few per-
sonal effects were saved by occu-
pants of the ancient structure.
So much heat was generated by
the fire, which was fanned by a
stiff breeze, that it was feared
nearby buildings might catch fire.
A hurried call was sent in for the
Shelton truck, which was sent out,
but found the fire under control
upon arrival.
The once palatial home was
built about 1870 by the late Capt.
Warren Gove, father of Mrs. John
McReavy.
While the new home was being
constructed Mrs. Reavy, then a
bride, lived in a nearby block-
house built for
neighboring Indians. Her late hus-
band was a former state senator
and widely known in political and
business circles.
The home was purchased in
1895 by the late W. O. Dalby, fa-
ther of E. J. Dalby, former Seat-
tle newspaper man and well—
known locally. It had been un—
occupied for the last 10 years,
but was recently sold to A. W.
Hilkert.
Fire fighters were aided by
Francis Wright, fire warden, who
took the state fire truck to the
scene; Sheriff Gene Martin and
Merle Cowles, P.U.D. line chief.

Shelton’s city council went out-
side its own membership last
Thursday night to elect J. L. Cat-
to, proprietor of Catto Hardware
and a former member of the coun-
cil, as the city's new mayor.
Catto will fill out the unexpired
term of former mayor William
Stevenson, who resigned last
month. He has had many years
experience on the council and in
other civic affairs.
Previously the council had vot-
ed down two proposed ordinances
dealing with salaries for the may-
or and council. The first, which
would have granted the mayor $25
per month was voted down three
to two, the second, to allow coun-
cilmen $5 per meeting was voted
down unanimously.
Summer Water Rate
Upon the recommendation of
the water committee the council
adopted a summer water rate for
those users outside the city limits.
The new rate will affect the
months of May, June, July and
August and will change the price
to .15 per 100 cu. ft. for any
water used over the minimum of
500 cu. ft. This reduction over
the previous rate was made for
ithe benefit of Victory Gardeners.

The council passed a resolution
in favor of posting a reward of
$50 to be offered for information
leading to the arrest and convic-
tion of any person committing
acts of vandalism at the city
park. The park committee had
previously submitted a letter de-
ploring the damage done at the
park, which they estimated at ov-
er $500.
The subject of sales of liquor
to minors was brought up and it
was moved and carried that the
council and the mayor would ad-
vocate and help carry out a strict-
er enforcement of the liquor laws.
Sales to minors will be strictly
prohibited, and Attorney Lewis
was instructed to write the State
Liquor Board for better enforce-
ment in Shelton.

Hoodsport and Lilliwaup voters
