Light VOtc Seen In Primary Election Tuesday July 11 Despite the fact that nearly the entire slate of state offices plus senatorial and congressional posts are up for nomination this year, [a very light vote is predicted for next Tuesday's primary election. PreSsure of war work, disintcr« est in politics due to the war, and the f act that a great number of voters lost their registration due ti. failure to vote in the 1942 election, and never took the trouble to register again are fac- tors which lead political observ- ers to believe that a light vote will result. Since the presidential election does not enter into the picture until the general election in Nov- ember, main interest in this state will be in- the Republican fight _for the gubernatorial nomination and the contests for seats in the Senate and national legislature. G.O.P. Contest Arthur B. Langlie, incumbent and Louis Wasmer of Spokane are the. two candidates for the Re- publican nomination for governor and a close race is expected. The Democratic candidate, senator 'Mon C. Wallgren, is unopposed. In the senatorial election three candidates, Congressman Warren Magnuson, Martin F. Smith, for- mer member of congress from the 3rd district and John A. Hogg, mayor of Vancouver, will fight it out for the Democratic nomina- tion. On the Republican ticket there are no less than 11 candi- dates with Herb Sieler, Chehalis; 'Harry P. Cain, Tacoma; Cameron Sherwood, Joseph A. Mallery, Howard E. Foster, Clement L. Niswonger, Edwin L. Rice, Stella Blanchard, Gordon B. Dodd, J. Parkhurst Douglass and Charles Arlin Nave seeking the nomina- tion. . Main interest _in the congres- sional race for Mason county lies in the 3rd district, of which this county is a part.

McConkey was impressed by preparations being made for post— war conversion to peacetime op- eration and declared, “The public can be confident that pharmacy and the drug industry has looked to the future and will be able to ‘meet the greater demand for its gservices which are bound to grow Jout of the enlarged use of the ,new miracle drugs such as the ‘sulfas and penicillin, as well as the trend toward use of preven- tive medicines upon physician’s . prescription to preserve health ra- 'ther than cur illness.” Veterans of Foreign WAS I “ETD N ' ' GR‘EEN’ SHELTON, WASHINGTON, Thursday, July 6, 1944.

Angles Return From Conclave Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Angle and G. C. Angle returned home on the Fourth from a 15-day trip East to Milwaukee for a short conven- tion of the National Editorial As- sociation, and a seven-day steamer trip through the Great Lakes to Buffalo, which was a relief from [congested rail travel. June had been a rainy month as here, and crops in general were noted as backward, but with a good start and well nourished for a good crop. Not so many Victory gar- dens ‘were'noted as last year at this time but the variety of meals along the way was somewhat better. Although there were storms on both sides no bad wea- ther was encountered on the trip, the stations and trains are con- gested but unnecessary travel at this time‘ is discouraged.

Fred Hickson !Dies In Fall :Down Shaft I Instantly killed when he acci- ,dentally fell down the elevator ishaft at the Mason county court' 'house, Chief Deputy Sheriff Fred Hickson's body was found at the morning. According to all evi- dence available, he had evidently fallen into the shaft sometime Thursday afternoon. According to Charles T. Wright, Mason county coroner, Hickson had been working on the elevator, which had been out of order for some time. It is thought that he had gone up on the second floor to make some repairs, and had either slipped or received a shock causing him to fall into the pit. Wright issued the following statement in regard to the fatal. ity: “Fred Hickson, Chief Deputy [Sheriff of Mason County, met death from a fall in the elevator shaft of the Mason county court house. He is believed to have fall- en at some time either shortly pe‘fore or after 4 p. m. on Thurs- [baja June 29. The body was not found until 8:15 a. m. the follow- ing day. Mr. Hickson is believed to have fallen from the second floor entrance to the shaft, the cause of the fall is and will re- main unknown, but it is believed that he was trying to make re- pairs to the equipment. Mr. Hick- son was probably attempting to lock the door into the shaft to prevent the same kind of an acci- dent which took his life.” Not Missed Because he was scheduled to go out of town on a piece of busi- ness, his absence was not noted until the next morning when De- v ‘ puty Bill Compton, remembering the elevator shaft, examined it and discovered Hickson’s body on top of the elevator which was in the basement. Death was evident- ly instantaneous. Deputy Hickson was born May 20. 1894, in Orono, Mich. He had lived in Shelton for 37 years. He Was a veteran of World War I, having been in the Navy from May 8, 1917 until July 7, 1919. He was a past commander of the Mason County Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars and a past district commander of the same organiza- tion. He was also a member of the American Legion and the Eagles. Survivors include his widow, Edith, and a daughter, Doris; a. brother, Sam, and a. sister, Mrs. Mable Clothier, both of Burien. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at Witsiers Funeral parlors with the Rev. R. W. Maulden in charge. Interment was in the Veterans of Foreign Wars cemetery.

OPA Warns Of Fuel Oil Shortage oil shortage in the Pacific North- west that dealers and consumers should fill their tanks at once so ' all possible fuel oil can be stored while it still is available. This emphatic warning came to- day from James C. Scully, re- gional fuel rationing representa- tive, office of price administra- tion. “Lack of transportation facil- ities from the source is a serious factor. Householders should fill their tanks now‘ to release deal- ers’storage. We are not crying 'Wolf.’ We are right up against it," Scully declared. . Send in Renewals Local OPA boards are doing their utmost to get fuel oil cou- pons for the next heating sea- son to consumers without delay Householders who have not yet filed renewal applications with boards should do so at once or they may be caught short. As soon as coupons are received, or- ders should be placed so dealers, with their limited trucking and manpower problems, won’t face a bottleneck on deliveries. Boards are handling central heating plant applications first; then space heaters. Consumers are asked not to call their boards but to allow a reasonable time for processing applications and issu- ing coupons. When period 1 coupons are re- ceived, orders should be placed, but that fuel oil is for the next heating season and should not be used until as late in September as possible.

Sales Low Though Mason county has gone over the top in their total bond quota for the Fifth War Loan Drive, sales of bonds to individ- uals is still far behind the quota set. Through the purchase of bonds by companies Mason county’s to- tal now is well over the $800,- 000 mark, or more than $100,000 over the quota of $700,000 set for the drive. However, only $298,000 out of the $400,000 quota set for individual sales has been sub- scribed leaving over $100,000 to go. ' Largest purchase to date was one for $350,000 made by the Simpson Logging Company. Oth- er large purchases include $30,000 l Ed McKinney, by the county, $25,000 by Wil- liam G. Reed, $25,000 by Rayonier Incorporated, and $25,000 by the Mason County Savings and Loan Association. County Chairman Walter M. Elliott urged that all persons who have not bought their allotment of bonds yet, should make their next purchase through the Shel— ton Naval Air Station. Bonds pur- chased from the air station will be credited to the county total and also will help the local station in their contest with other air fields in the state. Native Son Dies At Hospital Funeral services were held on lThursday afternoon from Witsiers Funeral Parlors for Daniel Quin- cey Bennett, native son of Shel- ton who passed away at the local lhospital July 3, at the age of .48.

Active Club will Install Wednesday With this week's regular meet- ing cancelled because of the Fourth of July holidays, members of the Shelton Active Club will gather at Clarmel Inn on Hood Canal next Wednesday evening for their regular installation din- ner.

All Activians and associate members are urged to attend and should contact Dick Watson at the Journal office for reserve.- tions. Dickinsons Visit; See Son Graduate Mr. and Mrs. Herb Dickinson of Hoodsport returned Sunday from a three weeks trip to New York City where they visited their son Donald on the occasion of his graduation at Kings Point Marine Camp as third mate in the Merchant Marine with pros- pect of early shipment out. They returned by Canadian Pacific but found more or less trouble due to congested travel, but got home safe and sound. Local OPA Board Preparing to put Price Ceilings into Effect on Used Cars Ceilings on used cars go into effect July 10 and the local OPA board is getting set to give the public accurate information on ,price and to protect both buyers :and sellers from violation of cell- ing prices, J. H. Gray, board chairman, said today. One or more members will be added to the local price panel, qualified by experience and traili- ing to administer the regulation. All buyers and sellers of used cars, whether individuals or deal- ers, come under the new ceiling prices. Price lists now are posted in board offices so anyone inter- ested can know the exact ceiling. Because of the hundreds of models of cars covered, price ceiling in- formation cannot be given out over the telephone. Dealers also have the ceiling price lists. The OPA regulation provides a "base price” for individuals and others who do not maintain re- pair shops, and a higher “war- ranted price” ceiling for dealers who do maintain repair shops and sell cars guaranteed for 30 days or 1,000 miles. Only dealers can sell at the “warranted price." “Sharply rising prices for used cars made it necessary for OPA to set the new ceiling prices," Chairman Gray said. “Most deal— ers have wanted used car ceil— lngs and approve them. War workers and others who need a car for occupational purposes now are protected against inflationary prices.” ~ A certificate of transfer will be needed for used car sales. These may be obtained from the board and local dealers. A certificate of transfer must be filled out jointly by buyer and seller and filed with the buyer’s board when he applies for gasoline rations. From these certificates, the board will know what the ceiling and selling prices were, and thus guard against overcharges. In selecting price panel mem- bers for the used car ceiling task, experience and background in the automotive or affiliated industry have been given firsti considera- tion, Gray said.
