Three Elk Herds
Attract Crowds
To Camp 3 Area
Skokomish Valley, April 23.—
Many valley folk, as hell as
slghtseers from farther away,
make trips these days up to
Camp 3 to see at close hand
three herds of elk which have
been ranging all spring between
i the. Roman cabins and the high
railroad bridge.
The herds are of approximate—
ly 60, 75 and 100 head each and
section crews have to Shoo them
out of the way as they work.

Activlans Hear Speaker,
Travels To Iloquiain
And Raymond
Plan
Trips to Hoquiam this evening
big crab feed were planned last
night by the Active Club as mile-
age builders in the District One
inter-club visitation contest which
5the Shelton club now leads by a
Islim margin over Montesano and
', Raymond.
I The Raymond trip was planned
i at last night’s weekly Active Club
jmeeting when a delegation of
Ieight Willapa Harbor clubmen
dropped in to extend the invita—
tion to the local clubmen.
Entertainment for the meeting
ylast night was provided by Har—
‘lold Wal‘in of Seattle, an authori-
‘zed speaker for Technocracy, Inc.
er. VValin explained that Tech-
nocracy is a scientific plan based
on the laws of engineering which
would be substituted for the pres-
ent economic system of the world
when it breaks down, as the speak-
er asserted it is doing at a rapid
,pace right now.
, Technocracy, he said, would sub-
stitute a balance of energy for
lproduction, with energy being the
medium of gauging values rather
than a monetary system.
He asserted that the crumb-
ling of today's economic struc-
ture is due to the loss of man
hours in production rather than
in wage scales, and that is the
problem of labor today. He said
government statistics show that
‘this country is producing more
with less man hours now than it
did in 1908.
A chart portending to show the
trends in the use of extraneous
energy and physical production in-
dicated both to be rising rapidly
from about 1900 and still doing
so, while industrial employment
in total man hours has dropped
steadily from 1919, peak of U. S.
employment, along with a steady,
swift decline in man hours requir-
led per unit of production.
I “Everyone feels that something
is wrong, our national leaders of
all parties and stripes admit some-
thing will have to be done to pre-
pare for the economic emergency
which will result when our war
Edefense boom is over,” Mr. Walin
asserted. “Our organization feels
that Technocracy is that answer.”
A period of question ansWering
followed the talk lasting for a
considerable time.
Rehabilitation
Work Topic For
Kiwanis Meeting
At their Tuesday noon luncheon
the Shelton Kiwanis Club enjoyed
an interesting talk by Claude
Odom, director of the Department
of Vocational Rehabilitation and
Education at Olympia. Mr. Odom
enlightened the club on the work
which his department has been
doing to place men and women
back in jobs after they have been
incapacitated through disease or
injury.
He stated that only one in three
of such persons can be included
in the program at the present
time because the law permits the
use of funds for training only
do full time work. Recent ap-
propriations of nearly double the
money formerly available to his
department will greatly increaSe
the scope of his workaccording
to Mr. Odom.
, The speaker said his depart-
ment was continuously seeking out
crippled perSons who might be
trained for new jobs and asked
that the names of any such In
this locality be turned in to him at
Olympia.

Now by Andrews
After several weeks of negotia-
tion, the Andrews Photo Studio
has been named exclusive agent in
Mason County for the noted Bell
‘and Howell line of F‘ilmo personal
[motion picture equipment, Prop—
rietor George Andrews announced
Lyesterday.
Addition of the Bell and Howell
equipment is another step in the
expansion of camera stock the
Andrews Studio has taken and
which now gives the local studio
over three times the choice of
camera equipment, both still and
motion, that it had a year ago.
Mr. Andrews invites all Mason
County picture-taking fans to,
come in and see the new line of
Filmo personal movie cameras,
projectors and accessory equip-
ment the studio now has in stock.
Demonstrations will be given
gladly with no obligation.
Today both the 8 mm. and 16
mm. personal movie cameras are
so perfected that with them any
amateur who can take ordinary
snapshots with a still camera can
,take beautiful movies in either
black-and-white or full colors, in-
doors or out, any season of the
ysal‘, Mr. Andrews commented. A

Planning A Council Members Herb

went to Port Orchard today to
consult with the Highway Depart-

The county commissioners were
in attendance to hear of the garb-

communities of the , county and

The council deferred any further
action for the present on its pro-

HARSTINE“ PUP BREAKS BOTH
FORELEGS IN FREAK MISHAP
By Della. Goets‘eh .
Harstine Island, April ,21. —
Bo, the dear little water spaniel
belonging to the .Walter Scott
family, was the victim last Tues-
day evening of a peculiar acci-
dent which resulted ln the break-
ing of both fore legs at exactly
the same distance from the,iden-
tical joints.
The misfortune occurred when
. the Scott boys, Ralph and “Skee-
zicks,” were playing around a.
truck. B0, of course}. was taking
part in the fun, and in trying to
turn around on the end of a
board which was lying 'on the
truck, he lost his balance and
fell, alighting in such a position
that the painful accident res ted.
Bo’s legs were not the only ings
broken by the fall, for two ,young
manly hearts in the breasts of
the two boys were broken also
because of their little canine
friend‘s suffering.
Mr. Scott and Ralph started
bIOCk, and the shrub planting is
scheduled to be done at an early
date.
early Wednesday morning with
Bo for Olympia where Bo was
taken to Dr. Long’s dog hospital
and the injured legs put in a cast.
On Thursday evening the little
dog was brought home and made
as comfortable as possible in a
roomy box on the porch. The
boys are doing all the nursing
and orderly work and have de-
clared their serious intention of
picking huckleberry brush and
selling it to pay for Bo’s opera-
tion and other'hospital expenses.’
Everybody felt so sad that no
member of the Scott family was
able to eat supper the evening
little Bo was hurt, but all are
now looking forward with hope
to the end of 24 days, when the
cast will be removed and the dog
will be able to learn to use his
running gear again. ‘
There are at least two varieties
of luck, good and bad. Bo seems
to have both, for while no one
can deny that it is bad luck ;to
get hurt, a dog’s fate must sure-
ly be in the hands of his good
angel when he finds himself a
member of a household where
such consideration is shown for
a. mutt of a dog.

If you were making tentative
plans to go fishing, visiting or to
the ball game this weekend you’d
Ibetter postpone it, because next
week is annual Cleanup \Neek in
Shelton and you’re needed at home
the free refuse disposal service
Ioffered by the city for the entire
week.
It’s an annual event in these
Iparts, neighbors, and all ’good
citizens cooperate to make Shel—
Ito live and easier on the eyes of
Itourists, who should be coming
through these parts in numbers
never before known.
Tourists can‘t go gadding off
‘to Europe or the Orient like they
used to, so they‘re seeing their
.homeland nowadays, and that in-
cludes the Olympics and Hood
Canal and Puget Sound. Many of
,them will be coming through
Shelton. They’ll remember what
they see and their impression of
Shelton will depend a lot on what
Shelton residents do about clean—
ing up the winter accumulation of
refuse which mysteriously and
magically collects somehow every
year.
City trucks will cruise the al-
leys of Shelton all next week,
looking for piles of rubbish and
refuse. If you gather all that old
junk together and pile it up in
the alley behind your home it’ll
all be taken away during the week
without fuss or bother or cost to
you.
So get the family together this
weekend, Pop, and spruce up the
old stamping grounds. You’ll find
it nicer when you’re through, and
so will everybody else.

Army Induction
Delayed 2 Weeks
Changed orders from the Ninth
Corps Area headquarters delayed
the induction of two Mason Coun-
ty men into selective service Army
training, scheduled originally for
today, until May 6.
The order delayed the induc-
tion of replacements for men re-
jected in previous draft calls. The
local men affected by the change
are Harold Moore, now living at
Castle Rock, and Merlin '0. Rick-
erts of Shelton.
Edwin Waldrip Taylor, Route 1,

station at Tacoma today to fill
Mason County’s quota under the
sixth call, while James Edward
Bales, a transfer from Polk Coun-
ty, Iowa, reported Tuesday for
the sixth call.
Gas Prices Rise
Half Cent Today
Three major gas and oil com-
panies serving the Mason County
area boosted the price of gasoline

They are the Standard Oil, Union
Oil and Signal Oil companies. The
latter has no stations in Shelton
but has some in other parts of
the county.
Other gasoline dispensing agen-
cies here such as Texaco, Asso-

Sept. 7th
In order to comply with fair
trade practices, the Retail Milk
Distributors of Shelton have
agreed to maintain the present
established price of milk, Emil
Lauber, manager of the Mason
,County Creamery Association, an-
nounced today. The agreement,
which was signed by all the re-
,tail dairymen of the district, will
go into effect May 1, 1941.
Another important move was
decided on by the dairymen when
they decided to discontinue de-
livery of milk on Sundays. This
decision, not to go into effect un-
til September 7, 1941, was made
in order to give the local de—
liverymen one day off a. week in
compliance with the wages and
hours law. Mr. Lauber stated
that the generally wide-spread use
of electrical refrigeration w ould
help to take care of the one-day
layoff in milk delivery. Two de-
liveries will be made on Satur-
days.
It was also decided that the
practice of donating free cream
shall be discontinued, and the sale
of milk tickets at reduced prices
will be prohibited.
