SI? * tit I Periodic inspection of passenger car tires and tubes is vital to the: mileage rationing program. Inspection periods for the three : classes of rations are as follows: I “A” book holders must have one inspection within every S IX i MONTHS period—on or before September 30 and March 31 of" each year. Inspections must be at , least 90 days apart. I “B” book holders must have one inspection within every FOUR i MONTHS period——on or before . June 30, October 31 and Februaryl 28 of each year. Inspections must} be at least 60 days apart. I “C” book holders must have one ' inspection Within every THREE MONTHS period—ton or before August 31, November 30, Febru- ary 28 and May 31 of each year. Inspections must be at least 45 days apart. Tire inspection may be done by only those local filling stations, garages, and tire repair shops that have been specifically desig- nated by the various War Price and Ration Board as Official Tire Inspection Stations. Such stations display an identifying poster furn- ished by the Office of Price Ad- ministration. All cars must have one sticker but one only. Gas station opera- tors are instructed not to give gas to cars without one sticker or those with more than one. :k :14 The Office of Price Administra- " tion today announced the follow- ing revisions in rationing regula- I tions: . 1. Small merchants who do not have ration banking accounts will be given more time to surrender coffee and sugar stamps to sup- pliers for stock replenishments, after the close of the period in] which the stamps are valid for use by consumers. ! 2. A more accurate method of determining if any part of a sup- I plemental ration allotment, re- I ceived by an institutional user in l the first or second allotment per- ‘ iod, was in excess of his needs. I 3. Wholesalers who suffer in- ventory losses in rationed cheeses, I due to cutting operations mayI apply at their local boards for ration points to offset the loss. ‘ Heretofore, wholesalers haveI been granted points to make up for shrinkage in cheese, but not for cutting, for most cutting, un- der normal conditions was done by the retailers. Due to rationing retailers are buying smaller quantities and the’ wholesalers are therefore doing the cutting and may now‘ obtain extra points to offset waste in cutting as well as in shrinkage. ) i —-—i . :various systems of taxing, orders, reports, paid bureau- ,war effort and are really a hindrance; besides adding *social theories and make the people human puppets. make no more real money; now they are coming back to SHELTON-MASON COUNTY JOURNAL Consolidated with The Shelton Independent Published every- Friday morning Member of Washington Newspaper Publishers' Association and National Editorial Association.

ECONOMIC WASTES AND TAXING When we stop to think of it the country has gone a long ways toward socializing and regimenting the people in recent years and restricting their once prized liberties, now growing tighter under the guise of war needs; and whether there is any real progress worth while under the crats, volunteer help, and demands ad infinitum and ad nauseum, is open to question. Formerly, we had car tax, gas tax, license to drive, and now an added $5 federal tax for the privilege of own- ing a car but limited gas, also taxed, to go anywhere; and, a multiplicity of forms to fill out to get the gas. NowE comes the food restrictions, forms to fill out and pass on to get points needed, numerous trips to the ration boards, and a complicated system of coupons intended to drive the . people “nuts.” 3 But what of the “nuts” who devised all these systems ', of regulation, the thousands ofiprinted forms to fill out, and the million or two of federal employees who are loaded on the backs of the people which have no relation to real} to‘ 'the time and cost imposed on the public and absorbing a huge slice of the funds now adding up to, the greatest na- tional debt in history. This tinkering with the national economy has now reached into the human economy, with the war as an excuse for those in power to work out their A REAL SAFE AND SANE FOURTH Sunday, July 4th, and Monday the 5th, were the first real safe and sane Fourth holidays in the history of Shel-I ton and Mason county, due to the restrictions on fireworks, gasoline and liquor, and although the weather had just turned hot there were no home or timber fires. I Now there isneed to turn our undivided attention to the dangers from-fire in :the woods as well as around theI homes and in toWn ,for the next two months of summeri drought when everything is tinder dry and a match or butt, . or even a bit of glass in the sun’s focus can start a con- flagration. " ' Travel is more-pr less restricted along the highwaysl and county roads, and in many places in the woods where- fishermen would like to go,'but those who hunt the open spaces should bear in mind that the fire patrols and guards are on duty and eVer watchful for the careless flippers who start something they cannot control. Make the summer safe and sane. NEW AIRPORT CALLS FOR SERVICE Although Shelton has never been officially advised,i V that there is an air field under construction in the vicinity, i it is now generally known that the field, with its runways; 9‘ and other facilities, is about ready for service, and that small companies of men of‘»? army and navy are arriving with'their equipment, and some planes are dropping on the ‘ field, indicating that active training will soon be in progress. ,9 - Locally, the-public is aware of the newcomers because, ‘ the officers and men are coming to town, and some of them i are seeking homes to have their families near them; and} there is also the need for the community to provide service I " and recreation for the men who are stationed at the air-1 port, something that so far has not been done because the 5 ‘ matter has not come .to the attention, of the citizens. Shel-I 1 has so far met its obligations to service men and may be; ,‘ counted on to do its part, when advised of the needs; ex-i f c’ept in regard to housing which is Out of the question un-i {less some agency functions to unfreeze the necessary lum- ber, materialsand labor for new building.

With the, current prices for all kinds .of green stuff in the markets] the Victory garden is proving a blessing and a saving, which will be more apparent as the year closes. THE" LAND OF FLORAL BEAUTY Puget Sound is the real flower region of theland, and is now in the midSt of its floral beauty even though the earlier annuals are gone, because the roses are in their prime and there is great variety of c010r in their blooming, and their perfume. I It is doubtful ,if anywhere in the East can be found such variety of blooms as in this section, and if there is any comparison it may be in a few parks and special gar-, dens which are. uncommon and not Within the View of the; ordinary visitor. V 1 Around Shelton there are flower as well as Victory} gardens around most homes, and r0S€}S pf every known variety and name are to be seen at their best; the flowers I and the climate are the great attractmn to visitors as Well‘ as enjoyment to our own folkS, and add pleasure to living; I l THREE ALPHABETICS WOUND UP Now that Congress has finally gotten a belated streak of economy and cut out funds for the NYA, CCC and WPA, these agencies devised in the days of depression but muchI abused, there is hope that more Of the wasteful a‘lphabetics I will go into the discard.

Scout Drive (Continued from page one) am dictating this letter now is one. “The other day I was in a front line observation post. A young officer there was particu- larly excellent in his observation of enemy activities. I asked him where he had developed his tal- ent. He told me that he Was an Eagle Scout. “The Scouts, largely because of their training, realize that we. of the United States havo more to fight for than any other nation, because we are fighting not only for our flag, our country, our homes, but also to preserve and maintain the finest form of gov« ernment in the world, the, form of government which gives to its citizens opportunities never possi- ble under any other system of government. “My message, therefore, to the Scouts of America is this: ‘Carry into the war those ideals for which our movement has work- ed. It is they for which we are fighting and We must win’.” ‘k maroon/3..., ma WAR MINDS Prev‘enfs‘ the "Bends" Before our. fighting pilots take to the air for stratosphere flying they must be “suped-up.” To do this the pilot just before he takes off pedals a stationary motor driven bicycle to reduce the amount of nitrogen in his blood. Otherwise gas bubbles would collect in his blood stream. The stationary bicycle is an in- expensive piece of equipment, but I the vast quantities of this and other materials of war make it imperative for all of us to keep our fighting men well supplied by greater and greater purchases of War Bonds. 8 Red points per lb.
