noon at 2:30 o’clock.
Rayonier Incorporated will de-
monstrate the manufacture of cel-
lophane and rayon, showing the
actual processes which the raw

p into the
War Loan Drive goes
I last two days with every volun-
teer bond salesman combing the
highways and byways for PI‘OS'
pects.
Drive Chairman Walter M. El-
liott praised the efforts of local
salesmen, ,but urged them not to
let down in these last two days,
but to continue their efforts to
give Mason County the highest
'per capita sale of bonds in the
state.
' Carrying out their promise to
help with the Second War Loan
Drive, members of the Shelton
Garden Club journeyed to Camp
three, Friday, April 16 on a bond
selling mission.
Accord'mg to members of the
organization a very successful
,and enjoyable trip was had, with
the men at camp buying a large
number of bonds and pledging
', many more in the months to come.
In addition to the business of
selling bonds the ladies enjoyed
a very entertaining trip through
the workings of the camp, many
of them never having seen a log-
ging camp in action.
The party took a trip from
camp out to the operations on the

Legislative Group
Hold Meet Here
A legislative committee charged
with investigating highway and
road conditions in the various
counties and submitting to the
next session plans for legislation
fairly dividing the gas funds be-
tween the counties and cities for
road purposes, met in Shelton last
Thursday. This was one of four
meetings over the state in which
county commissioners were asked
to~attend and submit their prob-
lems, present and future, and ideas
for the fund allocation. The offi-
NorthWest‘ counties
joined with the local board at the
meeting.
It developed that the committee
had no intention or power to make
any allocation of present funds,
but were merely getting the local
slants from road officers, and
planning to employ an outside ag-
ency to do the detail work. There
was considerable discussion about
present needs due to increased
travel over highways and county
roads by logging trucks as well
as heavy equipment of the armed
forces, and stressing the fact that
highways were being broken dOWn
and bridges giving away; these
, facts being noted by the commit-
tee for their recommendation to
the next session.
The committee included Senator
‘Don Miller of Okanagan, chair-
man; Senator Ernest Huntley of
Whitman; Senator M. C. Neal of
King, and Representative Bab—
cock of Pasco and Levy Johnson
of Thurston, the secretary.
New Tests Waived
For Auto Drivers
Washington‘s 802,000 driVers
will no longer be required to take
examinations for driving licenses,
Thomas Swayze, director of li-
censes, announced last week.
Swayze said only those drivers
with bad records must take re-
examination under an act passed
by the 1943 legislature.
“Motorists will still be required
to fill out applications for li-
censes and pay their $2 fees,”
Swayze reminded, “but only driv-
ers taking out their first licenses
lwill be given driving tests."
Under the new setup more di-
rect action is already being taken
to clear Washington highways of
reckless drivers. During the past
four months the state has made
a drive to cancel licenses of motor-
ists with bad records. In con-
nection with this drive, the license
department's accelerated program

PIONEER RESIDENTS As
THREE OLD-TIMERS DIE
ALLAN L. BELL'
Funeral services for Allan L.
Bell, 72, pioneer public officer,
abstractor and business man, who
died Friday evening, were held
at the Witsiers Funeral Home on
Monday, with an impressive ser-
vice conducted by Rev. J. O. Bov-
ee, followed by the Odd Fellow ri-
tual service, and removal to Ta-
coma for cremation. A large gath-
ering and many floral offerings
attested his wide friendship and
high standing in the community.
Death came suddenly as he
might have wished, as he reached
his home after his day at his of-
fice, of heart failure while seated
in his chair awaiting dinner. He
had seemingly been in usual
health and had not complained of
illness to his friends, his regular-
ity at his office for over 30 years
being unbroken.
Born in New York
Allan Bell was born at Malone,
N. Y., February 8, 1871, and came
to Shelton in 1901 with his par-
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Rodney Bell,
and brother Fred. His first work
was as deputy postmaster under
his sister, Anna, later Mrs. George
Vogtlin, then as clerk in the
O'Neill store, but he soon took up
civil engineering and located some
of the old roads of Mason County
while gaining a wide knowledge
of its lands. He served two terms
as County Auditor, 1899 to 1902,
and as County Engineer from
1905 to 1908. He then established
his insurance and land business,
carried on in his building at
Fourth and Cota Sts. ever since.
He was one of the county’s larg-
est private land owners.
Allan Bell was married to Miss
Blanche Brooks, teacher in the
Shelton schools and herself a
county pioneer, who survives him
with one son, Capt. Allan Bell,
now in active service in North
Africa as a medical officer. Fred
Bell, of Skokomish Valley, who
came out with him in 1890, is the
surviving brother. He was a life-
long member of Shelton Lodge
No. 62, I.0.0.F., and a charter
member of the Shelton Kiwanis
Club, in which he took much in-
terest. He was a good citizen,
taking his full part in community
affairs, and had a large acquaint-
ance and clientel among older
Members of the family called
for the funeral were Mr. and Mrs.
Arthur Vogtlin, Bremerton; Sid-
ney Vogtlin, Puyallup; Mrs. Net—
;cie Hodge and Ned Brooks, Ros-
yn.
C. S. BRUMBAUGH
C. S. Brumbaugh, 87, pioneer
teacher and school officer and
resident on the orchard farm
which he homesteaded back in
1883, died at the Shelton General
hospital Wednesday evening, a
few hours after being taken there.
He had been in failing health of
recent years and kept close at
home, although he was in town
on business a few days before
his death, and was fairly active.
Funeral services were held at
the Witsier Funeral Home Sat-
urday afternoon, with services by
Rev. Muhly of the Lutheran
Church followed by interment in
the Odd Fellow division of the
Shelton Memorial Cemetery. Many
old time friends and neighbors at-
tended the final rites. Realizing
his burden of years Mr. Brum-
baugh prepared the following
brief obituary notes for publica-
tion:
“Clermont Stewart Brumbaugh
was born at Dayton, Montbogery
County, Ohio, November 2, 1855,
and his parents moved to Indiana
the same year. The family lived
on a farm and in 1865 his father
died, followed by his mother two
years after, leaving Clermont an
orphan at the age of 12 years,
the oldest of five children. With
an orphan’s experience, being jos-
tled around among friends, the
orphan boy without a home found
life’s journey rather strenuous.
Reaching young manhood he was
educated in the common'and nor-
mal schools of that day, and then
followed teaching in that state for
several years. ‘
Early Resident
“He came West in 1882, and
landed in Seattle seeking better
opportunity, staying one year and
then came to Mason- County. in
1883, locating on a homestead
three miles south of Shelton,
which has ever since been the
Brumbaugh home. He taught the
little school in Shelton a months
term in 1884, walking the dis;
tance to the ranch which he clear-
ed and planted, while earning $30.
a. month. In 1887 he was married
to Emma. Eugene Cumming,
daughter of a pioneer family com-
mg here in 1883. Brumbaugh was
elected superintendent of schools
in 1888 and served six years,
when he retired and devoted his
attention to developing a farm
and orchard and experimenting
with fine fruit and nuts. The farm
was one of the show places of
early years and while Mason

Found In Tacoma
Garage Friday
Mason County, Creamery’s
missing truck, which disappear-
ed last week along with its
driver and , the day’s receipts,
was found in the 'GMC Truck
Co. garage in Tacoma, last Fri-
day.
George Bohanan, driver of the
truck, is befieved to have driven
it to Tacoma, where he left it
at the garage and ordered the
attendant to reline the brakes
and pack the front wheels. A
radio warning broadcast by
authorities was heard by the
attendant, who notified the 10-
cal creamery.
No trace as yet has been
found of Bohanan, but the
Sheriff’s office has found traces
of his activities in other local-
ities, and hopes soon to get a
line on him.

sor of Botany and Forestry, and
'Director of the University of

boretum was organized in 1935 by

species that have been brought in
from every continent. ,
In keeping with the war effort,
