C. The order covers laundries, undertakers, garages and all types of repair shops, and in general covers all retail services perform- ed on things such as shoe shin- ing and repairing, piano tuning, clothes cleaning, automobile re- pairs, radio repairs, home repairs, etc. The only exemptions specified in the O.P.A. order are services on or for people such as those of doctors, dentists, lawyers, bar- bers, beauticians, architects, en— tertainers, authors, etc. For seasonal services, the or- der provides an adjustable price formula based on rises in the cost of living since last year. The renter of boats at a summer re- sort, for example, may charge the highest price he charged in the corresponding season of 1941, plus the percentage of increase in the cost of living between then and March, 1942.

Because he unknowingly violat- ed a new Arny order preventing the building of fires on beaches, William Bose , former Sheltonian now living in Tacoma, was hailed before Justice M. C. Zintheo Mon- day and assessed the minimum $25 fine plus court costs for starting a fire on a 31001 Canal beach Sun- day. Thc arrest was made by War- den Frisk . Enforcement Officer Suitor ar- rested Virgil Jchnson and Alfred Holdiilg,both of Shelton, for enter- ing a closed area to pick ferns and peal cascara bark Friday. Both were fined the minmum sum of $10 and costs by Justice Zintheo. Mr. Suitor warned berry pick- ers, bark peelers, fern and brush pickers, campers, fishermen and picniekers to take special care of where they go this summer as there will be no exceptions made for entering closed forest areas. “These areas are closed because they are deemed especially vulner— able to fire,” he poined out “and so the necessity of keeping them as free of the sources of fire as we can." The minimum fine for entering closed areas, he explained, is $10 the maxium $100 or 90 days in an or both, plus any costs incur- red in fire suppression and dam- age done by fire. “The presence of enemy crafti off our coast lines as indicated by the recent submarine attack re- doubles the vigilance keeping the sources of fire from our forests," cautions Fire Warden Frisk. ADAMS GIVEN TWO ASSIGNMENTS BY SPORTS COUNCIL When the Hood Canal Sports- mens Ass’n held its June session last night at Hoodsport it found its president, George Adams, had been honored in rather multiple fashion by the Washington State Sports Council at the latter or- ganization’s quarterly meeting in Spokane last weekend. The chief honors President Ad- ams picked off were election as a director to the council from this district 1» along with John Keys of. Aberdeen—covering Ma- son, Kitsap, Clallam, Jefferson, and Grays Harbor counties. He won out over John Culver of Kit- sap county by a single vote. Then he was appointed chair- man of the Sports Council’s leg- islative committee by the new Council president, Sam Gorman, cf Soap Lake. That is one of the key appointive positions in the Council, especially in an election year such as this is. Adams has the power to select the members of his own committee, it is un- derstood. 0n Resolutions, Too Prior to both these assignments Adams had acted as a member of the highly important resolu— tions committee for this Council session. He has served on that committee at previous meetings, as had Harold Ellis, second dele- gate representing the Canal Sportsmen last weekend at Spo- kane. Ellis made the nomination that resulted in Adams Being el- ected a Council director. Earl Stark of Kitsap, frequent visitor at Canal Sportsmens meet- ings. was elected the Council's firstvice-president; Bob Miller of Pullman (now in the armed forces) 8 e c o n d vice-president: - Steve Morrissey of Seattle third vice-president; and John Keys of Aberdeen was re-elected secre- tary-treasurer. Harmonious Session Ellis reported the Spokane ses« sion was probably the most har- monious of the many he has at— tended and at the same time one of the most interesting. He report- ed that the resolution to reduce the daily bag limit on trout to 15, which the Canal Ass’n ap— proved at its last meeting, was withdrawn by its sponsor so did not come up for vote and that an informal discussion, unsupported by any resolution, revealed a pre- ponderance of favor for a straight season on upland birds instead of the skip-date system which has been in vogue the past several years. A trip through the Tumbull Slough federal duck refuge near Spokane, created from funds raised by duck stamps, impressed Delegate Ellis highly and he had nothing but praise for the layout. Ellis also reported that a pri- vate conversation he had with Bernard McCauley, dTrector of the State Game Department, elicted the information that all materials are now on hand and actual con- struction will begin July 1 on the Eells Springs trbut hatchery in Skokomish Valley, which has been approved and funds appro- priated for over a year now. ooufirv G. 0.P—.TO MEET WEDNESDAY A meeting of the Republican Central Committee will be held at the Hotel Shelton on Wednesday evening July 1st, at 7:30 for the purpose of electing eight dele- gates and alternates to attend the third congressional district meet- ing at Chehalis on July 11th at 11 a.m. and to transact such other business as may be pre- sented for'action, J.
