Doolittle Her Classmate In Grade School Exploits of Brig. Gen. Jimmy Doolittle, decorated by Presi- dent Roosevelt last week for leading the American bombing squadron which raided Japan, have always held more interest for Mrs. Albert Nowell, 709 1 South Seventh street, than even the public. The reason is Mrs. Nowell was a classmate of Jimmy Doo- little’s in Nome, Alaska, in her girlhood days. She brought a snapshot of the Nome grade school student body to The Jour- nal this week in which she is shown standing beside “Jim- my” on the steps of the school. ," some of them deck- , . the uniforms of Uncle ; : forces, come home eVening to welcome 'v Erads 0f the class of ‘ ‘3 ranks of the Shelton .;‘_' lotion at the annual 2 ~ banquet and dance.

Not only are half the employes from this area, but tWo of them are girls which reflects a. new Safeway pol- icy in hiring girls. Florence Cormier, Christine ' Redman,'Art Walden, Norm Tem- ple, Ward Jones, Walt LaMarsh and John Burnett form the local talent at the official grand open- ing of the store today. other ern- ployes of the store include Man-l ager Roy Maddux, Assistant Man- ' ager Eli Laurila, Lawrence Craft, Don Rucker, Bob Williams, Head Meat Cutter Don Williams and Roy Furr in the meat depart- ment. Manager Roy Maddux came to Shelton several months ago from a store in Tacoma and despite the handicaps of crowded space and inadequate facilities, has built the local store up‘ to a high volume mark in comparison with other stores in this district. He has been hard at work in the new store for the past two weeks get- ting it ready for its opening bow to the public. Among the innovations in the public won't see. but which are important to the personnel are the individual lockers ferreach employe and the shower room for use of employes. «The whole store has been design- ed to provide better working con- ditions for the crew as well as easier shopping for the customer. Back room stocks are scientifical- ly arranged and piled so that desired items can be easily picked out for delivery to the front of the store.

It’s Unpatriotic The 3-3, gun brigade is in action again; A dozen street lights Monday night, half that many Sunday night testify to the return to action, reports Manager E. W. Johnson of Public Utility Dis- trict No. 3. “If it comes to rationing of light bulbs in Shelton, as it al- ready has in some cities, this wanton destruction of public property will be a very serious thing,” he pointed out, “It’s al— ways been an unpatriotic prac- tice but now is even more so because of the shortage of light globes.” Manager Johnson asks all air raid wardens to keep a lookout for the offenders and requests parents whose children have B-B guns to make an investiga- tion of their activities in an ef- fort to curb the vicious prac- tice. ADAMS RETURNED BY SPORTSMEN AS ASS’N PRESIDENT President George Adams, form- er state legislator, was elected to succeed himself as members of the Hood Canal Sportsmens Associa- tion held their annual ballot Tues- day night at Hoodsport, along with the organization’s annual trout. feed. Vice-President M. C. Stark and Treasurer Leo Johnson were like- wise returned to their seats, leaving A. S. Read of Lake Cush- man as the only new officer, suc- ceeding O. K. Linscott, who de- clined to be a candidate, as see- retary. The association went on record as favoring a resolution to reduce the daily catch limit on trout from 20 to 15 fish, a measure which will be brought before the Washington State Sports Council at Spokane later this month. Two other minor resolutions were also acted upon Tuesday. President Adams and Secretary- Elect Read were chosen as the H.C.S.A.’s official delegates to the Spor'Ls Council session. One of the largest crowds in many months was out for the trout feed, which was prepared under the supervision of Fred Ul- rich, the kitchen maestro. The trout were large, fat silvers from Lake Cushman, caught by several sportsmen of Hoodsport and Lake Cushman. Enlist In WAAC County Clerk Clare Engelsen, so far as is knowu at the pres- ent moment, is Mason County's first applicant for enlistment in the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps. if her application is aCCeptcd Miss Engelsen will be granted 8. leave of absence from her county poSition ‘by the board of commis- Sioners and will run for re-election for that position in absentia next fall, she said this week. Attorney General Smith Troy has ruled that service in the mili- tary forces of the nation does not affect the eligibility of citi- zens to run for political office nor their right as electors.

One of the big features of the new location is the large park- ing on the south and west sides of the store. The lot is scientifi- cally designed for easy parking with little traffic congestion. A drainage 'system assures cars of being out of puddles. Large flood- lights will illuminate the park- ing lot during dark winter eve- nings. The store interior is fluor- escent lighted. r Quicker Shopping Facilities Three checking stands‘for out- going customers will eliminate congestion in the store and make it a simpler and quicker job to shop at Safeway. An interesting feature of the check stands is the which communications systems enables the checker to talk to workers in the back room thru microphones. Shelves in the new store are much lower than in the former location and arranged so that it is easy for the shortest customer to reach anything in the shelves. that a, great amount of merchandise can be displayed at one time. Ac- cording to Manager Roy Maddux a much larger amount of mer- chandise is being carried in the new store, and also a. larger var- of brands and items. Every- thing in the store is completely The shelves are built so deep iety new stock. The new meat department is much larger and contains all‘new equipment. A walk-thru refrigera- tor is a new feature of the mar- ket. With a door in the front and back all meat can be brought in ,the back, out up and placed in the refrigerator. Better, Larger Meat Display New larger cases will enable a much larger display of different cuts, and there will be a complete choice of sea foods throughout the entire week. The meat cases are fluorescently lighted to bring out the true color of the meats.

The commissioners Were accom— panied on their investigation of the lands in general by the county treasurer, assessor, attorney and cruiser and with the exception of around a thousand acres which will be exempted from this sale have found that there are no spe- cial values on most of the large acreage, and the advantage to the county lies in turning over all other lands at the general sale the man who has since that time earned world reknown for his flying exploits.

WAR COUNCIL TO TRY BUSINESSMEN AGAIN ON MONDAY Disappointment was expressed at the County War Advisory Council’s meeting Monday over the poor turnout of business men who had been requested to attend that meeting for the purpose of stirring up their interest in civil- ian defense preparations and plans. As a result, a second attempt to interest local merchants in the work being done and still neces- sary to do to protect their homes and business property in case of emergency will be made next IMonday evening when the War and getting them back on the 1 Advisory Council holds its seven- tax rolls. Legion Nominates Sherm Soule For Post Commander Opening nominations for 1942- 43 officers of Fred B. Wivell Am- erican Legion post Tuesday night placed the name of Sherman Soule in the ring for the com- mander’s chair. Four positions were left vacant for nominations in the next two meetings before election. These vacancies are for second Vice- commander, service officer and Senior and junior color bearer.

D011 has been in Shelton for some time, coming here as as- sistant in the meat market, and being recently promoted to head cutter, , teenth weekly meeting at seven o’clock at the courthouse. Phil Murphy, council chairman of speakers and programs, and Rudy Werberger, council civilian fire chairman. both of whom have attended meetings in all parts of rural Mason County, reported that practically all meetings they have attended bring out more persons than attend the War Ad- visory Council’s weekly sessions. Mayor William Stevenson, in expressing disappointment over the poor turnout of businessmen, suggested that businessmen in each block get together and rev port at next Monday's meeting. Maurice Needham, a. businessman himself, commented on the lack of interest taken in civilian defense affairs by local merchants. The bombing of Dutch Harbor, Alaska, may shatter some of that disinterestedness, s o m e W a r Council members commented Wednesday, however. Mother Of Local Druggist Dies Word of the death of his mother, Mrs. Hannah Grenberg, was re- ceived Tuesday evening by Rich- ard E. Grenberg, proprietor of the Fir Drug Store.

Plumb, Shel— ton’s librarian, began her vaca- tion this week, and true to the traditions of mailmen who go for hikes, ball players who go to ball games, and street car conductors who go for street car rides on their vacations, Mrs. Plumb admitted she ex- pected to spend the major part of her vacation of all things, reading. A brief visit with her sister, Miss Elizabeth Kirkwood, on Bainbridge Island and painting her new home were other di- versions Mrs. Plumb expected to enjoy, but reading was the No. 1 activity on her list. pillar tractors and the countless lives on the battlefronts of the world and with the threat of bombing hanging over all Pa- cific Coast cities as never before, the need for the establishment of! such a blood bank hardly needs‘ emphasizing.

POLAR EXPEDITION RECOUNTED' FOR KIWANIANS BY OLYMPIAN Kiwanians learned a. lot about “Little America" from one who was there on Admiral Byrd’s third trip to the South Pole at Tuesday's weekly luncheon when Boston Hunt, carterer for the Olympia. hotels, reviewed the in- teresting experience of the trip and some of its hardships. He stated that the Admiral was making his third trip “down un- der” in part with the view of claiming the unknown lands for America, although the trip was only partly financed by the gov- ernment and this was later with- drawn when the ships were re- called after one winter of explora- tion. The two ships, the “Bear” and the "North Star" were sturdy steamers formerly an the Alas- ka run and strong enough to stand the strain of heavy ice. They were taken from this coast to Boston where they Were fit- ted and supplied for the two year trip. Among the supplies were cater- 19-ton snow cruiser, of which he told the trouble of getting it aboard and off on the ice, and its failure for practical purposes, with the trac- tors not of much use. The ninety dogs and the planes did most of the traveling, which was enough to discourage any values for oil or minerals, ev- cept for a low grade of coal, and the land was indeed waste. It was intended to establish a. base for meteorological purposes, for advance weather hints, and to find where the solid ground be- gins and solid ice 5,000 feet thick ends. The weather ranged from' 72 degrees below zero to somewhat above, and the winds often blew at 60 miles an hour, with the record at 120 miles, or more than anything not strongly anchored could withstand. The speaker gave some of. the amusing inci- dents of the trip and the two crews which were a happy fam- ily, and exhibited a stuffed Pen— guin, as a. trophy of the trip. The new “Declaration of War by Unarmed America,” which the Kiwanis and other national groups are sponsoring, was passed ar-a ound for signatures and evontue ally binding in a great book to prove support by all patriotic ci- tizens and disapproval of eVery— thing which hinders or slowe up the national war effort.
