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

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.

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.

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.
