"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.
Manufacturing costs greatly in-
creased during the year, due to a
very rapid advance in the price
of logs, pulpwood, and other raw

1 Pioneer Picnic
Set For 25
The annual picnic and gather-
ing of the Mason County Pioneer
Association will be held this year
as usual at Kneeland Park in
Shelton, and the date has been .
set for Sunday, July 25th. 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. \

Scout Fund
Drive Reaches
Half . 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. Many of
our best officers and men are ex-
Scouts. The sergeant to whom I

Crop Stressed
ln Talk Here
Tuesday was Forestry Day at
the Kiwanis Club with Major C.
S. 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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
