Recruiting
New Members
Success is greeting the efforts
of the local company of the
Washington State Guard to re—
cruit more members to bring
their unit back up to full
strength, and replace the mem-
bers lost to the service and to
war industry.
At last week’s meeting six
new members were sworn in,
and it is hoped that another
large group will be sworn in
this ,Week. This is a fine op-
portunity for the young fellow
facing induction to get some
experience in drill that may get
him a rating as soon as he en-
ters service.
Increase For
City Workers
Is Considered
wage increases for city employees
got under way at last Thursday's
council meeting with the first
reading of Ordinance No. 360 de-
claring an emergency and increas—
ing the pay scale for city em-
ployees.
If the new standard passes the
council it will provide an increase
of 10c per hour for laborers and
$20 a month for salaried em-
ployees.
Chairman Clarence Grunert of
the Park Committee reported to
the council that the city park
had been cleaned up and that
formation of plans for a wading
pool are now under way.
Mayor Catto reported to the
council on the garbage situation
and was authorized to appoint a
committee to work with him to
find a solution.
State Patrol Warns
0f Too Many Stickers OnvAutos
Olympia, June 23—There once
was a time when you could drive
your car without a single sticker
on the windshield or rear win-
dows. That was in the carefree
days when you could buy meat,
groceries, shoes and sugar with-
out the little coupons.
Some people today must have
four stickers displayed on the car.
It has come to such a point that
the Washington State Patrol finds
itself compelled to enforce remov-
al of any sticker not authorized
by law to keep the windows clear

lWoman Dies i
As Truck Hits
Freight Traini
Fatally injured when the log-
iging truck in which she was rid-
ing with her husband and infant
son skidded into the side of a]
freight train, Mrs. Francis Welty,
McCleary, died before she could
be brought to the local hospital.
The fatal accident occurred on
the Kamilche cutoff six miles
south of Shelton last Friday af-
ternoon. John M. Williamson,
State Patrol officer who investi-
gated the crash, said tire marks
on the road showed the heavily
loaded truck had skidded 90 feet
in a futile attempt to stop before
it crashed into the train.
Two Injured
Welty and the baby, James Wil-
liam, were taken to Shelton Gen-
eral Hospital suffering from cuts
and bruises. The baby was found
some distance from. the scene of
the accident, leading the supposi-
tion that Mrs. Weltby had thrown
him from the cab of the truck to

Tickets Now
Available For
Eagle Dance
Tickets for the big Eagles Fro-
lic and Dance to be held July 10
the old gym, are now available
at the Western Supply Co., the
dance committee has announced.
All organizations interested in
selling these tickets may secure
them there.
All proceeds from the dance
will~ go toward a program of
solving the present juvenlie prob-
lem which is becoming increas-
ingly serious locally.
Feeling that every organization
and fraternal group in the county
should take part in the solution of
this aggravated condition, the 10-
cal Eagles Aerie decided to start
the ball rolling by donating $100
to be used as a door prize at the
big fund-raising dance,
Merits Support
The plan has received the
wholehearted cooperation of’ the
school officials, sheriff's office,
city police, state patrol, state for-
estry and other interested par-
ties. ',
Rau’s Orchestra, with added
pieces, has been chosen to play
the music for the occasion. ..
It is the hope of committee
members that by the time‘ the
dance takes place all organizations
will have joined together in the
appointment of a committee to
plan and carry out a program of
juvenile help.

For ‘A? Cards
Application forms for renewing
basic gasoline rations are now
available at local filling stations
and other centrally located places,
and should be picked up by motor—
ists and motorcycle owners as
Soon as possible, the Mason Coun—
ty War Price and Rationing
Board announced this week.
The forms must be filled out
and sent to the rationing boardl
in order to get new “A” and “D” i
l
l
coupon books to take the place
of present ones which expire on
July 21. To save the public time
and trouble, arrangements have
been completed to handle the re-
newals by mail.
“Early applicants will assure
themselves of getting their new
books before their present onesl
expire,” the Ration Board chair-t
man said. “Mail renewals were
planned to make the task of get-
ting new coupon books as easy
as possible. There will ‘ be no
school house registration this
time, and car and motorcycle own-
ers will not be required to come,
to the Ration Board to get their
ration books. The books will be
mailed back.
, Don’t Wait
"‘We hope autoists and motorcy- l
clists will cooperate by not wait-
ing until the last minute to file
their applications. This would
mean delay and inconvenience to
everyone concerned.”
The application form is a sim-
ple one that can be readily filled
out largely from information on
the car owner’s registration card
and present tire inspection record.
Tire serial numbers must also be
written in.
This form, when filled out, is to
be mailed to the Board together
with (a) the back cover of the
owner’s present “A” book (prop-
erly filled out), and (b) the cur-
rent tire inspection record show-
ing that proper inspections have
been made.

terest of the high school
students relative to the
old gymnasium for a
center was stressed.
The Mason County Youth Coun-
cil is to be the instrument thru
which youth activities are to be
centralized and coordinated. Its
purpose is to give. all youth a.
wholesome outlet which will coun-
teract the unwholesome condi-
tions which lead to youthful de-
linquency. Other towns have tried
this idea out and report quick
success.
Myron Lund discussed the ten-
tative lay-laws, revising of which
is to be submitted at the next
meeting. Many good suggestions
were made. The most important
centered on whether a direct or
indirect inclusion of the students
should be made. Some present fav-
ored a Junior Youth Council to be
organized later to be represented
in the Mason County Youth Coun'
cil.
E. F. Martin made a very op-
portune talk stating that last
month 12 juveniles were placed in
jail. After this a motion to or-
ganize the Mason County Youth
Council was made and carried.

Junior Red Cross Busy Making
Entertainment Items For Soldiers
The lives of many soldiers in
hospitals and camps in United
States will soon be brightened by
the efforts of the Junior Red
Cross work which was started in
Shelton three weeks ago under the
direction of Mrs. Francis Eacrett,
director, and Mrs. Edwin Lovell,
production chairman.
The Junior Red Cross program
is open to all school children be-
tween the kindergarten and sen-
ior high school age. They make
comfort and recreational articles
for soldiers within the borders of
the states such as cartoon books,
ash trays and crossword puzzle
books. (Before you throw away
that paper or magazine remember
to save the crosswoord puzzle
for the Junior Red Cross).
At present the groups are meet-
i ing just once each week with the
lHillcrest children meeting in the
Bordeaux school on Tuesdays and
the downtown children gathering
in the Lincoln school basement on
,Wednesdays. They meet at 10
LO’ClOCk and work until noon. Due
to the shortage of supervisors the
activties are limited and any mo-
ther who can give an hour ‘or two
of her time each week for this
worthy work should call either
Mrs. Eacrett or Mrs. Lovell.
Just the short time the groups
have been meeting they have
completed over 50 cartoon books,
four dozen ash trays and 100
crossword puzzles.
If your child isn’t already con-
tributing to the war effort why
not send them to Junior Red
Cross class next week.

Wash.
Mount Olive Lutheran Church
plans to open its Mount Olive
Parish School on September 7.
The school will be comprised of
grades one to six for the time be-
ing, so as not to break into the
Junior High School program of
education. All the standard sub-
jects of the grade schools of the
State of Washington will
taught, standard textbooks will
be used, the latest methods of
teaching are employed, and the
full credits of any elementary
school are to be established.
Religious Education
In addition to a full school
program, under state school su-
pervision, as it is found in other
grade schools of Mason County,
there will be an added feature
of the Mount Olive Parish School
not found in other grade schools
of the county, namely, period set
aside each morning of the week
for study of religion.
Although it is 11 weeks before
the Parish School opens, there are
already 25 students registered for
'the Fall term. The school will en-
deavor to give preference to Lu-
theran children; however, if there
is room remaing, general registry
of ,students has been authorized
by the Mount Olive School Board,
if there are others who care to
enroll.

Simpson Co.
Observe 4'8th
Anniversary
This week marks the 48th anni-
versary of the incorporation of
the Simpson Logging Company.
On June 24, 1895, S01 G. Simp-
son and A. H. Anderson formed
the present company for the pur-
pose of enlarging the operations
of the older Port Blakely inter-
ests.
The Simpson Logging Company
today is the largest independent
logging and milling company op-
erating in the Northwest. The
present operations consist of two
logging camps, logging railroad,
machine shop, two sawmills at
Shelton and a plywood and door
plant at McCleary.
Although there is no one re-
maining within the organization
today that has been with the com-
pany since its incorporation, much
of the company’s success is due
to the old-timers that have been
with them from 20 to 45 years.
Elsewhere in this 'paper will be
found the list of employees with
their years of service.
Tree Farm Formed
With 48 years of logging behind
them, the company officials are
looking forward to many years
more of operation. In these 48
years the company has never al-
lowed an acre of cut over land
to revert to the county for taxes.
These original lands and some
additional acreage form a large
tree farm from which it is plan-
ned that succeeding generations
will harvest another tree crop.
If this plan is successful it
means a continuous supply of
timber products from this area,
which will make for permanency
in the local forest communities.
Today all operations are on a
war time basis, with practically
all wood products going directly
into the war effort.
Local Residents Mother

Ration Board
News
The Ration Board again re-
quests that persons having busi-
ness with the board do so by
mail. PLEASE! Do not bother
board members at their places of
business!
Persons making application for
special rations must allow board
plenty of time to consider their
case. Gasoline panel meets on
Tuesday and Friday.
GAS COUPON CHANGE
Changes in the design of the
gasoline ration coupons for com-
mercial vehicles use beginning
July 1 were announced today by
the Office of Price Administration
as a further means of taking up
“slack” mileage and of removing
potential sources of black market
gasoline.
A new “TT” coupon, which re-
places! the present “T” coupon,
will be made valid for use thru-
out the country on July 1. The
old type of “T” coupon, now be-
lng used by commercial operators,
ill/ill be invalid on and after July
It will be illegal, OPA stated,
for anyone to continue to hold,
after July 5, any of the old type
of “T” coupons. Any such cou-
pons which were issued for use
in the west, and which are left
over on July 1, must be surren-
dered to an ODT district office,
or a local war price and rationing
board not later than July 5.
Local boards will begin issuing
