I10,000 of them--waS explained to ]members of the Shelton Kiwanis club at their regular weekly lunch- eon meeting Tuesday. Jack Wil- cox, special agent in charge of the Seattle Federal Bureau of Identifi- cation was guest speaker of the club, and he took his listeners through what the average agent gets when he starts the bureau's training. Mr. Wilcox, a veteran of th service, recited examples of thq bureau's laboratory efficiency in checking down clues, explained how agents were enlisted and the training they undergo before they become members of the greatest crime detection organiz- ation in the country. Mr. Wilcox was introduced by' Glenn Cortes who served as pro- gram chairman of the day. Kreidler Hearing (Continued from Page 1) ted by Kreidler for extra work at the school, Crossen said that he objected but that he was acting as an "instrumentality of t h e school board." Crossen also said that he knew nothing about th0 finances of the school during the years of 1946-7 and 1947-8, and that he had not talked to the state ex- antiner about the extra-jobs vouchers he signed for Kreidler. After Crossen had testified, sev- eral other witnesses were brought in. Walter Johnson, salesman, Bel- fair principal in 1945-6 revealed that the school since 1945 had used aspirin and sulpha for treat- ment of minor injuries of the pupils and that the school board knew of the medical assistance and didn't object. "MY EXPERIENCE shows that most parents do not know how tel give proper treatment for which the medicines at the school were used," Johnson insisted, adding, "Belfair is a long way from a doctor." At five o'clock in the afternoon the session was adjourned by Bill Goodpaster, presiding o f f ice r, county superintendent of schools. Charles Lewis said that he had a couple more witnesses whom he would introduce later.

You Can Help The Fire Warden These bright and sunny days make the vacation season enjoyable for everybody ex- cept the fire warden. He is aware of the forest fire dangers present whenever the temperature and humidity become critical. 0 Every summer we have calls from inter- ested persons who want to know what they should do to report a fire. We tell them this: The quickest way to get action on a for- est fire is to call the state fire warden in your district. Make sure you know which road is nearest to the fire. In Mason Coun- ty, phone Shelton 149 and in Grays Harbor County phone Montesano 61. The U. S. For- est Service office in Shelton may be called at 617. Telephone operators are alert to fire calls and will assist you in making a quick connection with fire prevention authorities. DON'T TAKE IT FOR GRANTED SOMEONE ELSE HAS REPORTED THE FIRE. YOURS MAY BE THE FIRST CALL TO REACH THE FIRE WARDEN. |IMPSON LOGGING €OMPA 0HII, TCN AND M¢CLI_A_RY'I-WASHIHQTON i 4 COUNTY JOURNAl.; I i i THINGS AS THEY SEEM (Continued from page 1) who had saved her allowance fox" two weeks and earned some be- sides, in order to be able to at- tend the show. At first it looked like the County was going to get a treat for an unusually fair price. Merchants gave out coupons to customers, stating that with the coupon and 40¢ a child under 12 could see the Circus and an adult could get ia for 75¢. Of course everyone realized the side shows and peanuts would be extra, but they did not expect the extent of the extras! First one was in- vited to view a "Free Animal Menagerie." Everyone went for that. It turned out to be a few caged furry animals such as foxes, porcupines and de-odorized skunks, plus some squawking birds. One had to pay to get out, 25¢ was the price, and several of the young did not have the sum, so they received an obscene blast froIn the exit keeper. O "The side show manager m|ght have been one of the "Gyp Bros." He was a suave well-groomed mid- dle aged man. clever at barking! One had to let the kids see that side show or they were the mean- est parents on earth. Well, the kids came out of the show with frowns of bewilderment on their faces. Those who had the cash, had been hornswaggled into buy- ing the most wonderful potato peelers in the world, orange juice squeezers, etc. A wonderful pres- ent for Morn and Pop who had, in several cases been good enough to provide a day at the Circus. The barkers said, "These items are worth $1.00 but we are selling them for only 50¢. Finally the big moment came, our barker in- vited us to enter the big top, and view the most wonderful show on earth. Our coupons plus the amounts mentioned, gave us a ticket and let us into the canvas curtained entrance on the big top, but there--alas! The most so- phisticated hard-boiled, be-slacked late thirtieth female, elevated on a platform with a pulpit-like desk: to lean on, was announcing in a harsh voice that reserved seats'i were thirty cents and all seats l were reserved! That was the pay- off fox" us, that by this time had only ten cents lefts fox' peanuts, so a lot of us slipped by, but most paid. The seats under the top were all the same, they were boards on horses, l-etty soon it started to rain and most people got soaked, but the crowd held to- gether by promises of big acts to come, and the sale of a new i brand of candy, "A prize in every package, s u c h a s cameras, watches and jewelry." Mothers who had accompanied their young were saying, "You will be a sucker, if you go for that son." "What's sucker Morn?" Morn ex- plained. It would seem that the only good thing about the re- cent show, "Gyp Bros." was that a lot of kids in Mason County learned what it is to be a sucker! It seems to me that Mason County authorities who give permision for such entertainment to come here, should do a better job of investigating the character of the entertainment. --7 ........................................ English Visitors (Continued from Page 1) aboard the Queen Elizabeth and took a train to Shelton. They won't return to England until Aug- ust 12, as they couldn't get ship reservations until that time. WESLEY HARRISON, a real estate agent in the town of Luton, 30 miles north of London, hasn't seen his brother Alfred for 43 years. This is the first time that either he or Mrs. Harrison have ever been in America. One of the things which Mr, Harrison likes best about Shelton and the rest of the country is its private enterprise system as it contrasts to England's socialism. "Socialism is holding back Eng- land's recovery from the war so much that other countries appear to be getting ahead," he declared. "Whatever you Americans do, don't copy England by incorporat- ing socialism."
