call only the rainy daTs of the
year and overlook the many
bright, sunshiny days they had
last year, but statistics released
from the Rayonicr weather sta-
tion' prove that Shelton and Ma-
son county had a relatively "dry"
year in 1946 as compared with
the year before.
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.

STRIP CAR ON

Stealing car parts from an
automobile parked under street
lights on a main street in town
is not the customary approach
to crime employed by thieves,
but that approach was used and
used successfully last Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. W, L. Chris-
tensen, 1716 Ridge Road, parked
their car in front of a local
theater Sunday evening before
going to a movie. The parking
space was situated in a well-
lighted and relatively busy sec-
tion of town. However, upon
leaving the theater the Chris-
tensen's were surprised to see
that the rims of their headlights
had been removed from the car.

the Slmlton Chamber of Com-
merce.
Plans for the' manifestation Of
regard and thanks for the indus-

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

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-

SECOND SNOW OF WINTER CLOSES for last year. 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.
Violation Rel)orted of
School Patrol Signs
Ignoring instructions of a school
boy patrohnan i as bad a viola-
tion of the law as any other trat'-
fie misdemeanor punishable by
tim city police, mid such a viola-
tion has been reported by Dick
Hudson, principal at Lincoln
school, when a woman driver
drove through an intersection de-
spite a patrol boy's signal to stop.
The violation oceured Friday
morning at the interscction of
Fifth and Cota Streets. No chil-
