At Guest~ Night
“We want Wings.”
You're liable to hear that bit
0f thinking out loud from any
Shelton Activian and a dOZen
guests of the club who witnessed
Wednesday night two reels 0f
motion films showing the life of
an Army flying cadet and the
training he goes thru during
weeks of intensive instruction to
prepare him to fight for his
country in the air.
The second reel covered the hiS-
tory of aviation, showing the evo-
lution of the airplane and added
a bit more to the training of Un-
cle Sam's aviators.
The net result of the showings
was that the Activians and their
guests became strongly imbued
With the desire to have a crack
at getting their wings.
Between reels and afterward,
Lieut. Kenneth R. Byerly of the
Army Intelligence‘ division an-
swered questions and gave com-

Pioneer Picnic
Due July 26 At
Kneeland Park
The annual picnic of the pio-

counties, and former residents
of Shelton, will be held at
Kneeland Park, Shelton, Sun—

of bringing together as many
as possible in spite of short-

ages, which might be worse
next year. All pioneer families
and friends are invited to an
old fashioned picnic as in past
years, to renew acquaintance,
talk old times and forget war
troubles for the day.
The Shelton Chamber of
Commerce will furnish coffee,
cream and ice cream, but this
year the families should bring
their sugar and utensils with
their baskets, and make a real
picnic of the occasion, one of
the few planned for this year.
There are still some county
families who have never sup-

clerk.
It was announced at the office
this week that those who have
not yet obtained an original al-
lotment of canning sugar will be
permitted to purchase a quantity
based on the amount of canning
they did last year and on their
family needs. The amount of su-
gar they will be permitted to pur.
chase will be determined on a.
basis of four quarts of fruit per
pound of sugar.
Housewives who have already
purchased canning sugar on the
original basis permitting them a
maximum of 36 quarts of fruit, or
nine pounds of sugar, must wait
two more weeks before they will
be permitted to apply for addi-
tional sugar.
-The delay in their cases is due
to the necessity of completing
files. A detailed record is being
kept of each person applying for
canning sugar and it IS necessary
to complete this file so the ra-
tioning office staff may have
readily accessible records to check
back on when receiving requests
for additional amounts. -
Generally speaking, home can,
ners may now can as much fruit
as they did last year and will be
permitted enough sugar to can
that amount of fruit on a basis
of one pound for four quarts.
However, if the amount requested
appears “out of line” the rationing
staff can refuse. to grant the re-
quest for the full amount.

dent Robert Allan was added as
delegate, and Ed Elliott, S. A.
Anderson and Emil Lauber as al<
ternates to the District Conven-
tion at Vancouver, B. C., in‘ Aug-
ust.
Paul Billingsley, director of the
Aircraft Warning Service in this
district. spoke briefly of the or-
ganization of observation posts
which have so far been carried on
by volunteers and under much
hardship, especially in rural lo-
calities where families are few‘
and far between, and the few are
bearing the load. He credited
these patriotic persons with doing
aid to the military which is urgent
because sufficient scouting planes
are not available since all possi-
ble are being sent to battle zones,
and a few minutes gained thru
reports from the coast stations
would be very valuable in getting
the few planes we have in the
air to meet any incoming enemy.
However, he stated that appro-
pristion is being asked to reorgan-
ize the'air watch into'a paid ser-
vice covering persons not quali-
fied for active war duty, and it
was. hoped that the strain on civ-
read from nation and district

Martin S. Miller, Olympia school
principal, gave an interesting re—
view on war progress and pros-
pects, and referred to a talk he
made before the club two years
ago,'when England was fighting
alone against Germany, in con-
trast with today when war is
waging on all continents and all
nations are involved. He pointed
out that the United States was
slow to realize its danger and is
still not doing its full 'part, but
is now fast gaining momentum in
armies, planes, ships and muni-
tions and before the year is end«
ed Will be helping turn the tide.
In his. summary Mr. Martin
said that Hitler is making his
last and most desperate effort to
conquer Russia this fall, and Ja-
pan is staking its future on gain-
ing full control of the Pacific
