Page Eight Short Time Left To Burn Brush The fire season was advanced in February because of the dry spell in that period and somewhat relaxed because of the rains that followed, but the rules are now in full effect and until May first burning of brush and trash in the spring clean-up may be done, by first securing permit from the l l forestry officers if in the county, , or from the fire chief if within Shelton limits.

CALIFORNIA Harstine Island lRepresentative Fred Norman Replies To Letter Sent By Demo Committee .Wmfl-w I April 8, 1943 (Mr. Pete Eitreim, Chairman of Executive Committee Mason County (Democratic Central Committee Shelton, Washington I Dear Friend; I was very much pleased to get your very intelligent and straight forward letter of March 26th. We get a very large mail here from the District and the State, run- ning close to an average of 100 letters a day but I don’t know of {any letter that has come in re- icently that interested me any more than yours. While I am a Republican on many issues, such as protection 10f farm and lumber products against cut throat foreign compe- tition, still I am quite open mind- ed and independent to the extent where I make my own decisions. I always did it during my long [service in eleven sessions in the I here too. 1 cause I feel that I can’t learn too thinking. When I get a letter from a constituent asking help on their problems, certainly I don’t try to figure out what party they may belong to. I feel that I am here Ito serve all the people and would like to get more letters like yours. I agree with you that we should . not interfere with the military conduct of the war. I am voting for all appropriations and other matters relating directly to the {war and supporting the adminis- ' tration completely in this matter. ‘ now to the fire warden’s office, or , I do take. the position that the City Hall, as the case may be, in ilarge amount of money being spent should be honestly, efficient- ly and effectively expended be- cause the repayment of this mon- ey is going to take a long, hard period of work for the American ' people. You are absolutely right on your comment on the bureaucracy here in Washington. You know during the campaign, I made a number of speeches criticizing the bureaucracy set up here in Wash- ington but after I was elected and came back here. and got to dealing with them day after day, I found that it was much worse than I had thought. There is a great deal of confusion, ‘petty jealousies between departments, each department is always trying themselves at the expense of some other departments. Various bureau heads dislike others whom they should be working with on~bet- |ter terms and you would hardly [believe the difficulty and delay that is involved in getting what would seem to you and me a very simple matter through these de- l partments. S o m e constituent writes us about a very minor thing that should be settled in a day or two and the matter drags I on for weeks from one department to another until the constituent is thoroughly disgusted and probably the delay in making the decision is such that it is too late when he does find out‘ where he stands. You can readily imagine what the tremendous cost is to the tax- payers of all this handling and rehandling. I am sending you a. little clipping from the Congres- sional Record covering one of these matters which occurred right in Olympia. i As an example of the many dif- ferent things that I think is more I or less silly, I might mention wood rationing. You know the de- partments here were going to put wood rationing into effect Febru- ary 1st. The Washington Con- gressmen heard of it and all, both Democrats and Republicans, pro- tested violently. The department agreed to hold it up temporarily. Later one day the head of the de- partment of wood rationing call- ed me up and asked me if I would arrange a meeting in my office to be attended by the entire Congressional delegations of both Washington and Oregon. I agreed and got all the Congressmen to— gether. The chief of this depart- ment and three of his assistants came down and we had quite an argument. We tried to get them to drop the whole thing but they refused. I told them that if they would help us with Paul McNutt and General Hershey and other manpower directors to arrange that more loggers be kept in the woods of Western Washington, thereby producing more airplane spruce, plywood and lumber of all kinds which was very badly need- ed for the war effort, that there would be collaterally produced en- ough more mill wood to take care of the firewood situation just as it has always been taken care of in the past. Therefore, that there would be absolutely no need for a wood rationing department car- ried on at the expense of the tax- payers, but they are going ahead anyway. They have opened offices on the coast and have a crew now at work getting reports from all the wood dealers in the state and they are going to force these wood dealers to make a report every month. This is going to be carried on all summer and then next win- ter they will decide when and where and if wood rationing will be put into effect. My guess is that they will put some of it into effect, if for nothing else than to justify the existence of their de- partment. I cite this as just one minor example of ~what is going on here in a thousand different fields. I appreciate your comment on the Tolan-Kilgore, etc bills. These are now in Congressional Com- mittee and I doubt if theywill come out in their present form, if at all. The Democrats them- selves have taken the position against a lot of these Planning Boards as was indicated when the Democrats left out all appropria- tions for the National Resources Planning Board which was head‘- ed by Frederick Delano, an un- cle of the President. If these bills come out of Committee, they will ’probably be in greatly modified form so I would have to look over the bills as reported before I could say what my position would be on them. {State Senate and I am doing it. I like to hear from everyone be- ; much about what the people are. to take over more power for. Jsome word for it. Universalroh- , On the post war plans, there lare quite a number of these being [suggested and several bills have been introduced along this lines, mostly in the Senate. The Senate ICommittee is now considering Ithese bills in executive session and no one knows just what they lare doing on them. Sooner or lat- er I presume a bill will be reported iout, probably embodying some of the matters in one or more of the proposed bills. Of course when this matter comes before the House, I will try to give it the best pos- sible consideration and will be glad to hear from the District as to what they think of it. Referring to your very excel- lent suggestion of a “back-log of useful, sound and profitable pub- lic works projects" for construc- tion after the war, I thoroughly agree with this and a good deal of this work either; has been done or is being done. I am a member of the Rivers and Harbor Commit- tee and we are quietly preparing a lot of projects for subjection to Congress after the war. At that time, we will need a "make-work" program to carry over the tran- sition from the war producing economy back to a peace time producing economy in this coun- try. Referring to your statementl No. 5 relating to “conscription; and regimentation of those who' work, “I thoroly agree with you ‘on this. I do not view favorably Ithe Austin-Wadsworth bill which provides for general conscription .of labor. I‘ do stand for the prin- ‘ciple of “free enterprise” altho .I have always stood for public [ownership of electric powor, as you know my record has been consistent on public power mat- ters. I I voted in the House for both! .the Pace bill which requires the iinclusion of farm labor costs in the calculation of parity and also for the Bankhead Bill which pre- ,vents the administration from de- ducting benefit payments in cal- ! culating parity prices. Both these bills are designed to improve the gposition of the farmer. Since Iv am a long time member of the Grange of course I supported them. The President has vetoed the Bankhead Bill and may veto the Pace Bill when it passed the Senate. I intend to vote to pass both these bills over the Presi- dent’s veto, if the matter comes before the House. 1 I am a member here of the so- :called “farm'bloc” and I think the farmer should be encouraged and given a fair deal otherwise? we are going to be faced with a serious food shortage, possibly‘ this fall. So the farmer now be: comes more important than ever in our national life. I consult1 with Mr. Goss, Master of the Na- . tional Grange, whom I know very well personally, right along. In closing, I want to say that I hope you understand how much I appreciated your letter. I have answered it as best I could and I want you all to know that I will be glad to hear from you again at your convenience. If any special problems arise concerning any of your individual problems or of the people of Mason County I_ want you to write me on the. situation and you can depend that , I will do 'my very best on such; matters. With best wishes, I am,I Sincerely, l l FRED NORMAN, W. C.

Fine Cooperation The ladies praised the fine co- operation given them both by the men and the supervisors. They al- so praised the fine food served them and declared that their trip would be a day long remembered by them. ‘ Those who made the trip in- cluded Mrs. Marcus Rodgers, Mrs. Walter Kullrich, Mrs. Horace Skelsey, Jr., Mrs. Winston Scott and Mrs. George Cropper. They were accompanied by Reginald Sykes and Miss Marjorie Young of the Simpson Logging Co. Tues, April 20, Mr. Sykes took Mrs. Rodgers, Mrs. Cropper and Miss Young to Camp Five on an- other bond selling tour, but due to the inclement weather they had- to stay in camp. . However the supervisors and crews were very generous in pledging their money to make the current war loan a success. One of the highlights of this trip was inspecting the large kit- chen, the storage refrigerator and the mess hall. Another fine din- ner was served and enjoyed. Students Active , For this second war loan drive the students of the room two Home-room at the Senior High school planned an assembly. All the students who wished to at-l tend this assembly bought War Bonds and Stamps as their tick~ ets of admission. Thirty-seven bought bonds and were seated in a special section. The money col- lected at the assembly was for the purchase of a jeep. The assembly was given on April 21 and the students re- sponse was gratifying. The sale of bonds and completion of bonds was $754.30 and that of stamps $255.35. The total sale was $1,009.65. Since their goal was $900, the price of a jeep, they were pleased to find that they had exceeded it. This is not the only time the high school has responded so well. On December 7 the bond and stamp sales reached an all-time high of $1441.95 and again on February 17 and March 3 re- spectively they reached $818.50 and $877.20. The grand total for 26 weeks is now $7,522.45. . Home for Easter Miss Jo Needham was home from Seattle, where She is teach- ing, for a day’s Easter vacation, returning Sunday evening. M. D.
