"The present Uniform Labor Agreement with you is in effect until May 31, 1947 and thereafter, subject to reopening as of that date by either party as lrovided. "On the stipulation that the cur- rent Uniform Labor Agreement is not amended or modified in any way, the members of our Associa- :ion have taken vohmtary action to assist in meeting the problems. prescnted by you. Each of our nembers will voluntarily supple- ment the total earnings of each employee who is subject to the Uniform Labor Agreement, by an amount equal to ten per cent of such total earnings. This vohm- tary supplement of ten per cent will become effective as of Janu- ary ..16, 1947, and will be comput- ed ou total earnings including overtime and premium payments.

A total of 61.36 inches of pre- cipitation precipitated on the area last year compared to the 66.03 inches that fell in the year before. August was one of the very driest months experienced in Mason county with a total of .06 of an inch, while Jmmary was deluged in 11.05 inches of rain. February copped the second place for having the most rain with a 9.99 inch total. Second place honors for the driest month went to the "merry, merry month" of May with .11 of an inch mist- ing the atmosphere. June was unusually damp for a late spring month last year and managed to ring up 3.97 inches of rain in her 30 days as compared with the 15-year average of 1.73 inches for that month.

Plans for the' manifestation Of regard and thanks for the indus- trial and community leader were announced at the Chamber of Commerce meeting last week, the announcement coming' as a first message of community activity by the newly installed president, Roy Ritner, who succeeded to the position held during the last year by S. B. Anderson. Anderson was named general chairman of the committee that will plan the Krei- enbaum affair arid it is expected that the Masonic temple will be secured so that all who will wish to pay their respects to the hon- ored guest may bc accomodated. Faubert Remains Seerelary Officers installed at the last meeting besides President Ritner included: Don" Remsberg, first vice-president; Robert Trenck- mann, second vice-president, and Reginald Sykes, treasurer. Presi- dent Ritner said that E. H. Fau- bert has consented to continue as Chamber secretary. The Chamber of Commcrcc will be active in furthering efforts to secure an adequate war memorial, commemorating the service of Mason county men and women in the recently concluded second World War. Other projects which will be furthered by the civic or- ganization will have to do with improved street lighting in the downtown areas, Bayshore high- way improvements, development of a Shelton port district, and a golf course on Hood Canal that would be available to all Mason TI death of Joseph Carstairs county links enthusiasts.

The Chamber also promised sup- port for the annual Mason County Forest Festival which is to be presented on the wcck end of May 17. C. B. Coselman, resident of the Arcadia district, who plans devel- opment of small tracts under irri- gation, appealed to the Chamber to assist him in securing power for his project. He asked that Senator Cain and Congressman Norman be enlisted in support of getting additional power supply for Mason county. Mr. Coselman's statement started considerable discussion with the result that a motion was passed to invite the P:U.D. Commissioners and Man- ager Claude Danielson to the next meeting. Joseph Carstairs was born Aug- ust 18, 1857, at ,Perthshire, Scot- land, and was Schooled in a fru- gal Christian farm home until he was 18. In 1875 he left the family home and took passage to this country, serving as hostler for a herd of blooded "white face" cat- tle, which were exhibited at the Centennial Exposition at Phila- delphia. From there he went to Illinois for a time. and then drift- ed through the Southwest follow- ]ng the stock shows and spend- ing another year in railroad build' ing, being joined by his brother David. In 1883 he came to Seat- tle and worked for a time at rail- roading, and then looked for a setlling down place which he fin- ally located at Ca,stairs Prairie (0ontinued on page six) OF RAI N IN 1.946 GAVE SHELTON RELATIVELY DRY YEAR; GRAPEVIEW, 20 MILES OFF, HAD BUT 52.77 Sheltonians are too apt to re- Grapeview, situated less than 20 miles from here, experienced a relatively dry year in 1946 com- pared with Shclton's humidity, with the total recording of eight inches less rainfall than hcq, e, ac- cording to the annual report of Walt Eckert, Grapcvicw postmas- ter and government weather ob- server.

No apparent rea- , son is given for the difference in 'rainfall in the two localities. SCHOOLS, MAKES ROADS SLICK i For the second time this whi- ter, Shelton and the surrounding area have taken cover beneath a blanket of snow. Though the snowfall was not as heavy or deep as the fall here last Novem- ber, below freezing temperatures accompanying the snow emphasiz- ed the seriousness of the situa- tion. The firs£ snow in Shelton began falling late Monday afternoon and in less than an hour the snow, accompanied by driving winds, covered the city. The dryness of t2e snow caused the streets and roads to become icy paths of hard packed snow, which froze eom-' plctcly during Monday night. Road crews were called out .all Monday night and all the follow- ing day to operate snow plows and sanders. The first night ()f the cold weather found many automo- biles stalled on the road side on most highway exits. At present the county roads are in good c}a- dillon and are considered pOs- able. although chains are recom- mended for any automobile traf- fic in hilly areas. lIlghway Clear Bul Slick Tim state highway to Hoodsport remained clear though "slick." Despite eight inches of snowfall According to the dispatcher at the Simpson Logging Company, the situation at Camp Grisdale and Camp 3 was "terrific" with Camp 3 being forced to close. There was approximately four inches of snow there early -yester- day with the report of more snow falling that morning. The train to Camp Grisdale continued to run, though the Camp 3 train was discontinued. Phones, Lights Remain O.K. Unlike the Novetnber snow, lit- tle damage was done to power or telephone 'lin. The reason for the continuance of electric ser- vices was, according to P.U.D. Manager Claude Danielson. be- cause of the lightness and dryness of the snow. All Mason county schools ex- cept Belfalr were closed on Tues- day and remained closed up to the present due to the icy road conditions which prevented school buses from operating. A minimum temperature of 11 degrees above zero was recorded at the Rayonier weather bureau' on Wednesday morning at 6 o'clock. On Monday a high tent- perature oi  36 degrees and a low of 21 degrees were reported ac- With the exception of three months--March, May and April ..... the monthly rainfall totals at Grapeview were considerably low- er tban here. Even during those months when the Grapeview rain exceeded Shelton's rain. it was by tiny fractions of inches only. Grapeview's driest month was August with a .12 inch total re- corded. During the same month. however, Shclton received only .06'inch of precipitation, a small but encouraging difference in Sheltou's favor. Second driest month at Grapeview was May with a .63 inch total, whicl for the second time was more rain thm was recorded here for that month. February experienced the most rain at Grapevicw with a 8.88 inch fall for the month..During the same month at Shclton 9.99 incles fell. Second wcttest month there was January with a record- ing of 7.83 inches of ram.

The tragedy occurred as Roles was returning from Hoodsport, his light auto crashing into the Army truck driven by Jack S. Waldrip, Jr., of Shelton. Waldrip and two other occupants of the truck, Thomas C. Townsend and Charles S.
