While the various admonitions from administration sources are more or less confusing, particularly those con—' 3 order will come out of the chaos of ideas in-due time. 2 Just now we are concerned in the threat of gasoline and fuel oil shortage to come, although the warm weather lie: at hand and there are several months in which to pre- lparc for the winter ahead, ample time to prepare other forms of transportation. We are urged to dismantle oil burners and prepare for . wood or coal; but again shortage of such stoves makes the change almost impossible, not to speak of coal short-i l l I l l I l l l i age and even of wood for fuel in this timber region, and‘ of men to mine and cut wood, and transportation is a prob- lem . . . It is true that with the shorter hours in industry many could go out and cut their own fuel for next winter, as they formerly did, and if so inclined cut some extra for , esale to those who cannot buck up their own fuel; but iti good time to think about the fuel problem and each! ouseholder dig up old stoves and plan ahead. l l l Spring is here and time to plan for Victory Gardens, , but not wise to force the season too much. i PUBLIC PATIENCE SORELY TRIED l I l l intrton but also within the hearing and observation of the' i average citizen, which is sorely trying when coupled with. "the sad reports from the fighting zones, and particularlyl those in which our own boys are now risking their lives. i It goes without the saying, whether the citizen is cn-, gaged in some well-paid defense job, or simply trying to; carry on at the usual tasks around home and merely'mak- . ing ends meet without much assurance that he can still carry on, that anything that slows up production for war ‘ needs is not justified. ' All this is working up toward a universal demand for l legislation to lengthen the work week and leave no lost and waste machine days, to eliminate the costly overtime, which might have been helpful in peace time but is nowl kiting costs of war; and putting ceiling on both war pro- l l fits and wages. As the war is going it is certain that our national policies and efforts are sadly lacking in speed and effici- ency, and need overhauling and reform; While the war lasts and high wages rule in war industry every able- bodied man should work 48 hours at straight time, and all war industry should be limited in its profits. In private industry and business the struggle will be for existence vithout thinking of profits. i Some of our Hood Canal friends suggest that the ! Tacoma Power plant and its two big silvered tubes make ' a fine landmark for enemy planes and oughtto be camo- flaged. ‘ ' ‘ I. SHELTON A DEFENSE AREA With the daily call for housing for familiesf'whosc ,thc defense industries here, there is no excuse for not fdeclaring this a defense area and permitting priority 0f! .morc homes in this area; but smaller cities seem to be lleft out of the picture of relieving the defense housing fituation they could help relieve without asking federal ’unds. With the increasing interest in federal projects with- ,lin Mason County, there is hope that the powers-that-be ‘may soon realize the need for helping the building move- ment to provide the homes for workers and their families. (Aside from the thousand or more in local industries the [Shelton airport project is passing its survey stage and i must be finished to meet an urgent need for landing fieldS. la great army and navy ancampment is planned for “Oak Patch,” on upper Hood Canal, and now the Bonneville power project to serve the Navy Yard is under way. There is a crying need for more housing all over Mason County, under the color of need for defense. l Speaking about war production, one reason France suffered defeat was that she was caught with her plants TIMBER FIRE DANGER AT HAND 'down, says the Cheney Free Press. I The past few hot days are forcing the timber fire season and now there is restriction on all slash and brush burning anywhere in Mason County, with permits requir- ed from the wardens. Already 650,000 acres of forest lands have'been closed to the .public for the season, and fishermen, hunters and those with no. particular business, are barred from these lands; and four million acres will 'soon be under ban. This year there is extreme need for .every precaution against timber fires, which could en- danger the whole Northwest directly by fire damage, not to speak of the smoke clouds which might bring an un- seen enemy to add to damage to homes, and loss of jobs and property. The Olympic reglon, which includes all Ma- son County, is in direct path of this danger, and there will not be men enough at home to fight the menace, unless aided by every citizen on guard everywhere within the {region This win be the year to test our caution and com— lmon sense. l NO SEND-OFF FOR BOYS TO SERVICE Somehow it seems there is an apathyiin‘ thisand other lcommunities not comparable with the World War days lwhen our boys were given a good send-off and a rousing reception when they returned; now the draftees receive their orders and drop out of sight with none but their [immediate families to bid them God-speed and the hope ifol” speedy and safe return. These boys are severing home ities and jobs and going out Wherever the Fates may take l them to man the war front Well over the world, while home I {folks must carry on, with some minor sacrifices but at lieast in safety of their lives. There is some excuse in the request that the departures for SGI‘Vice be given minimum publicity but the public shOUId not forget that the only ones who have so far made any real sacrifice are the men who have gone to serve in the armed'forces of our country and their families. .--S.HELTQN:MASQN.
