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

forestry officers if in the county, ,
or from the fire chief if within

There is prospect that the com-

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

putting them aboard the train.
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. .

This week is one of the most
important in the history of the l for it. It has to do with our prob-
Camp and Hospital Committee.
We are organizing for the dura-
tion. There will be need for the
best we have. Troops are here now
and more are coming, how many
is a. military secret. This much
is known—ever increasing num-
bers will be in this district.
Service to the armed forces is
the purpose of this committee and
the best means of giving this ser-
vice will be explained in detail
to the committee this coming Fri-
day at the Mason county court
house at 8:00 p. m.
Captain Jerome L. Fritsche for-
mer superintendent of Schools at,
St. Johns Military School, and
now engaged in coordinating ac-
tivities of Camp and Hospital
Committees on the Pacific North
West Sector, will be the speaker.
Captain Fritsche is one of the
ablest speakers this writer has
ever heard. His talk before the
Northwest Camp and Hospital
Committee at Everett last Thurs~
day was a. masterpiece.

Mrs. Calvin Mann and her
committee from Belfair attended
the regular monthly meeting of
the Mason County Chapter Red
Cross last Thursday in spite of
bad weather and transportation
difficulties. Some of the members
living in Shelton had reasons for
being absent. Others missed a
very good meeting for causes that
might not stand up in the light
of the present emergency.
* * *
A day or recreation room has
been set aside at the barracks
located at the Shelton airport.
Our job is to furnish it. A com-
mittee will go to work on it at
once. If you get a call from them
please help in every way possible.
This district is fortunate in this
respect, our problem, our com-
mittee organization and our op-
portunity to have an expert on
related affairs all occur at the
same time. Neighboring districts
have had to work on the trial and
error methods. This would mean
a duplication of our efforts and a
needless drain on our resources
should we proceed in a like man-
ner.
In the last week I have at-
tended 16 meetings in various
parts of the Northwest Where ser-
vice to the Armed Forces was the
problem. My job now is to convey
the information to the committee.
