RT SHOWS "P IN NET PROFIT DUE MANUFACTURING COSTS Rayonier Incorporated and its wholly owned subsidiary, Georgia Timber Co., reports for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1943, consol- idated net profit of $1,943,959, af- ter all charges, including abnor- mal losses arising from abandon— ] ment and sale of plant assets and provision of $1,963,135 covering federal taxes on income, equal, after preferred dividends, to 72 cents a share of common stock. This compares with net profit of $3,762,970 or $2.60 a share re— ported for the preceding fiscal year. There were 963,871 shares of common stock outstanding in both fiscal periods. Regular quarterly dividends to- ' taling $2.00 a share were paid on ’ the preferred stock, and four divi- dends totaling $1.00 a share were paid on the common. These pay- ments totaling $2,216,281, were $272,322 more than the consoli- dated net profit for the year, the excess being paid out of earned surplus. Net Sales Down Consolidated net sales amounted to $28,777,865 as compared with $31,316,906 for the preceding fis- cal year. Unit sales totaled 344,- 707 tons against 408,590 tons a year ago.

All pioneer residents and their fam— ilies in Mason and adjoining coun- ties, or wherever they may have scattered, are invited to attend the reunion, for the early settlers Iare dropping off fast and this may be the last gathering for some of the elders, leaving the younger generation to carry on. The picnic, which is sponsored by the Shelton Chamber of Com- merce each year, is planned to bring together as many of the older families as possible, in spite 10f gas rationing, and allow a few J i l i hours of recalling the old days, which are far from the new days and worth remembering. The as- V? in regard to suppres-isociation is voluntary and with- out fees or dues. Pioneer families should bring a family basket, utensils and sugar, and the sponsors hope to furnish coffee, cream and ice cream, if possible to secure for this oc- casion. \ Manage-r Chosen ’ For Tree Farm Oscar Levine, who has had charge of the Weyerhaeuser Tree Farms near Longview, has come to Shelton to establish headquar- ters for the South 'Olympic Tree Farm which included the Simp- son and other logging company interests in Mason and adjoining counties.

Mark With the campaign at the half- way mark and some $500 pledged, -Boy Scout Fund Drive Chairman George Cropper issued an appeal ,to the citizens of Shelton to con- ltribute to put the drive over the 1 top. | Pointing out that money invest-g ed in scouting is money invested in the future of the nation, be- cause of the wonderful training given to the boys, Cropper called upon all to pledge funds to the organization. A third report meeting is sched- uled for the Shelton Hotel Friday ievening. All workers are urged to make every effort to cover all their prospects and turn money in at that time. High tribute to the value of Boy Scout training to men in the arm- ed forces is contained in a. mes- sage sent by Brig. General Theo- dore Roosevelt, now somewhere on the North African front, to the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America of which he has been a Vice President for the past eight years. General Roosevelt, son of for- mer President Theodore Roosevelt, sent the following message, which was published in Boy’s Life, monthly magazine of the Boy Scouts of America: “Needless to say, the Scouts have been continually in my thoughts and particularly during the few days that we are out of the line, having finished one job and before we go into the line the Scouts are giving additional testimony to their work.

In Northwest Affecting between 300,000 and 400,000 wood users in Washing- ton, Oregon and Idaho, ranging from industrial firms who depend lon wood to generate steam and power to small home owners, an order by the Office of Price Ad- ministration went into effect at midnight June 28 setting a sys— tem of priorities for wood dealers in filling orders, it was announc- ed last week by James C. Scully, regional OPA fuel rationing repre- sentative. Simultaneously, Roscoe A. Day, former special assistant to the Of- fice of Solid Fuels and fuels mar- keting expert for the Bonneville Power Authority, today was nam- ‘ed acting chief of the OPA’s na- Itional wood rationing branch in Seattle—the only national ration- ing office of OPA outside of Washington, D.

Cowan, manager of the Wash- ington Forest Fire Association, speaking on the ‘fFire Problems for 1943,” and reviewing the pro— gress in recent years of the job of fighting forest fires to which is now added the new consolous- ness of the value of the coming young forest growth as the future salvation of industry and living in Mason county. Last summer, according to the speaker, witnessed the smallest gknumber of woods fires and loss of l l timber in history, but thanks to a kind Providence which furnish- ed the summer moisture and high humidity which aided the fire fighters in making the good rec— ord. It was found at the close of the season that the percentage of fires caused by carelessness of campers, fishermen and the toss- ing of stubs from car windows, ,qgas about the same as for the previous year, proving the need for more and general education of all who enter the woods in the vacation season.- New Crop Looming He pointed out that the end of the fine old growth was in sight though it might last for a short generation under conservation, but that throughout Mason coun- ty there is coming forward a wonderful growth of new trees, some of the second growth al- ready reaching the stage of use for some purposes, and that with- in the next few years, with the new processes and uses already in sight, the new growth will sup- port the Northwest as well in fu- ture as the virgin timber that is going, or even better because the (Continued on Page Two) State Forestry, Department To Ease 0n Ban Opening of several streams in this area for fishing was an- nounced this week by T.

City Council Resolutions Honor Memory of Willey and Davies the City Council last Thursday as a token of the city’s regard for the memory of the late Frank C. Willey and the late David Bow- en Davies, ,whose many years in this locality were filled with ser- vice for the city and its citizens. RESOLUTION Whereas, Frank C. Willey, had been a resident of Shelton for more than 50 years last past, prior to his death on June 13, 1943 and during that entire period was interested in the welfare of Shelton and Mason County and lcontributed to their growth and [held various offices in the City, as ITown Marshall and Water Super- 1 I Two resolutions were passed by intendent, Councilman and Mayor at various times, and at various times served Mason County 25, Justice of the Peace, County Cor- oner, County ‘Assessor, County Commissioner and, served as Post- master of this City of Shelton for more than 4 years; and where- as his busy and useful life ended on June 13, 1943. , Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Mayor, Council and City Officials of Shelton, Washington, that in the passing of the said Frank C. Willey, his wife, Mary M. Willey has lost a kind and lov- ing husband; many people have lost a true and loyal friend; and Mason county has lost a man who was always interested in and worked for the growth, welfare and upbuilding of Shelton and Ma- son County. Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be spread upon the minutes of the Council of the City of Shelton; a copy of the same sent to the local press; and a. copy to his bereaved wife. Unanimously adopted this lst day of July, 1943. RESOLUTION Whereas D. B. Davies for more than 15 years prior to his un- timely passing on June 12, 1943, had resided with his family in Shelton, Washington, and during that time had won the affec- tion, admiration and respect of the community in his happy home life, his pleasant associations, his scientific work, and his contribu- tions of ,time, money and effort to the Boy Scouts, Shelton Gen- eral Hospital and other worthy community activities'and to the development and upbuilding of Shelton and Mason County. (Continued on page 8) ‘ l i 1City Council County Raises Wages lOf Employees Salary and wage increases for all Shelton city employees were voted last Thursday evening by the city council. The increases will be retroactive to July 1. The increase was set at $20 per month additional to salaried em— ployees and 10 cents an hour to hourly workers. It is estimated that the increase will cost the city $590 during the remainder of 1943. Mayor J. L. Catto has also an- nounced the addition of Paul Hughey, former game warden in this locality, to the local police force. ’Hillcrest Walk The council passed a motion to purchase a strip of land extend- ing from Union Street on Hill- lcrest between Fairmont and the Highway from C. E. Runacres at la cost of $150. It is planned to make a walkway up over the brow of the hill to save pulp mill Iworkers a long walk around the highway. In connection with this pro- ject Engineer Phillips was in- structed to estimate the cost of establishing a blacktop sidewalk up the Olympic highway to Hill- crest. J. C. Penney Co. W111 Sell Bonds July lst marks the opening of a nation-wide War Bond and Stamp sales drive in 1610 J. C. Penney Company department stores thru- out the country. As a send-off to the campaign, Secretary of the Treasury Henry J. Morgenthau, Jr., prepared a message of con- gratulation and good wishes ad- dressed to every Penney employee. This is the second time the Penney Company has been recog- lnizd in this way. At the conclu- 'sion of Penney’s $8,422,553.85 July Bond drive last year, Secretary Morgenthau once before accorded the Penney Company personal congratulations. Penney employees, determined that the Treasury department will again find their July sales .of War Bonds and Stamps worthy of at- tention, start off this July with sales of at least $10,000,000 as their goal. The Penney Company’s Bond drive this July, like that last year, takes the form of a sales contest in which all employees and all stores of the chain compete for state and national awards. In every Penney store, War Bonds are promoted as “J uly’s Best Buy 3” This week, Penney store windows from coast to coast stress the fighting ships that War Bonds buy. l __.______ ,Plans Set For 'Demo Convention With all plans set for a busy and interesting convention, mem- bers of the Young Democrats Club of Mason County are busy preparing for the advent of ap- proximately 100 Young Democrats from all over the Northwest who will attend the State Convention to be held at the Hotel Shelton, July 17 and 18.

Commending military com- manders at the local air base for their cooperation with local law Ienforcement agencies in the past and pointing to the problem of law enforcement which will face local officials with the growth of the military personnel at the local base, Prosecuting Attorney B. F. Heuston, Sheriff E. F. Martin and Chief of Police Andrew Hanson yesterday issued a joint state- ment calling upon the public for cooperation during this emergency period. With the expected influx of sol- diers and sailors at the air base plus the fact that local facilities for entertaining these men will probably not be adequate, local officers predict that certain inci- dents of law infringement will in- evitably crop up. With the complete cooperation of the military, which has already been evidenced on the part of Lt. A. H. Fagergren, USNR and Lt. Thomas E. Harris, local command- ants, and the further cooperation on the part of the civilian popula- tion, it is hoped that such inci- dents may be kept to a minimum. Statement in Full The statement issued by Hues- ton, Martin and Hanson is as fol- lows: “The influx of service men, at- tendant with the commissioning of the Shelton Air Base, will pre- sent this community with many new problems of law enforcement and other matters pertaining to the relationships of civilians and service men. Under the most fav- orable circumstances, difficult and embarrassing incidents are almost sure to arise. The situation will demand the full cooperation and understand- ing on the part of civilians and service men alike, to the end that the best possible relationship may be maintained. In addition, a high degree of mutual cooperation must .be established between the civil- lian law enforcement authorities iand the officers of the Army and I (Continued on Page Two) gCity Park Supervisor ‘Is Secured Shelton youngsters will have supervised instruction and super- vision at Kneeland Park this summer, Clarence Grunert, chair- man of the park committee an- nounced this week.

Written of and for the Mason County AWS Volunteer Members Compiled and Edited at the Olympia Filter Center BAYSHORE OBSERVATION POST The history of this post dates back to when the army was put- ting on maneuvers in the month of October, 1941. Miss Scarlet was the Chief Observer. With the help of a few loyal observers who phoned flash calls from their home ‘ this post began to climb the lad- der to success. Later, Mr. Joe Tindall was ap- pointed Chief Observer and up to the present date, still holds this very essential position. A new post had been built about a year ago on a nearby hill, but when observers gradually moved away, and manning the post 24 hours a day became rather diffi- cult, it seemed as if the post would not be able to climb the ladder of success after all. But the people of Bayshore who resided around the bay, refused to see their post fail because of the lack of observers and .tele- phone trouble. They organized themselves to call from their own personal homes. Now, Bayshore has one of the best home operated posts in the country. To the people of Bayshore, the Army Warning Service wishes to extend their gratitude for never letting them down in the hour of need. :3: i: :1: POSTS IN STRUCTORS The post instructors of Mason county have all completed their classes in Olympia. They are now asking observers from each post to contact them so that they can get under way with their own classes by knowing when the ob— servers will attend the schools of their post. Let us all get in and help your post instructor by attending their class of aircraft recognition schools. You will find the follow- ing post instructor of your post: Mrs. Ann Tate, Matlock; Mrs. Frank Wolf, Arcadia; Mrs. Ann Carr, Kamilche; Fred Hickson, Shelton; Mrs. Rhea Howard, Un- ion; Mrs. Blanche Lincoln, Bay- shore.
