Forest Ser- vice, last December issued the ap- proval which made possible the 100- year cooperative sustained yield forest harvesting program between the Simpson Logging Company and the forest service, The Simpson contract was the first to be approved by Anderson, Other sustained yield programs are being developed and a portion of Anderson's Western trip has been devoted to studying their progress. Accompanying the distinguished visitor by plane were H. J. An- drews, U. S. regional forester, Portland; Larry Mays, U. S. For- est Service, and Charles Wheeler, vice president, Pope & Talbot, San Francisco. The visiting party ar- rived at Shelton airport at 11 a.m. Other guests here for the visit were Col. W. B.

Ray- onier was represented by Martin Deggeller, vice president, of Olym- pia, and George Cropper, man- ager of the Shelton Rayonier plant. SECOND DISC REPORTED SEEN The second of the fabulous fly- ing discs reported by Shelton resi- dents was seen Monday afternoon by Mel Cleveland, Rayonier em- ployee. "It was definitely a flying disc' It looked like a silver plate, and it was visible for only a few sec- onds," Cleveland reported to The Journal. HE added that several other res- idents of the Kamilche district saw the object. He was driving to Shelton about 2:30 Monday after- noon when he spotted the mys- tery disc. Two other men reported this week that they recently saw fly- ing discs. They were Dan Cor- r0ier, Shelton baker, and Lee Wells, an officer in the Merchant Marine. The two men noticed the flying objects while at the airport. They said the "discs" were very high, :and remained visible for about three minutes. The two men described the flight of the higll,flying "things" as "undulating" in a peculiar rhythmic oscillation, with the ob- jects drawing close and distant from each other alternately. :::.::  .....

Hanson Berg, who wanted to build the new fireproof building, presented a petition signed by 19 Hillcrest property owners favor- ing his plan. He planned to locate his building across Summit Drive from the present commercial zone on Hillcrest. After lengthy discussion, the planning commission unanimously pas+sed a motion opposing any fur- ther extension of the Hillcrest commercial Zone until the present zone is filled, and opposing the granting of the petition presented by Berg. The commission also discussed the plans of the Catholic church for a new school building on the corners of Pine and Third Streets. Father Mark Wieehmann and Bruce Elmore represented the church at the commission meet- ing. They were informed that pub- lic hearing will be necessary be- fore further action may be taken. The final item of business con- sidered by the planning commis- sion was the public hearing on the proposed erection of a court apartment building in the Angle- side addition by J. R. Kieburtz. ' There was no criticism of Kie- burtz's plans so his petition was approved and the granting of a building permit was authorized. Ten Year 01d Girl Rescued At Island Lake Ten-year old Carol Rawding wa'a rescued from drowning in Island Lake Sunday afternoon. Carol, the daughter of W. A.

She had been playing with other children on timber ex- tending into the lake from the shore. Carol was rescued by a man named Watts, living on Arcadia road, and was unharmed, outside of being well-soaked. Fire on SS Ship Extinguished by Hoodsport Men A Sea Scout boat from Red Bluff caught fire at the Old Mill dock saturday evening at 7:45. Damage was slight due to speedy action on the part of the Hoods- port firemen who reached the scene with the fire truqk two min- Utes after the siren sounded. The boat was charred inside with damage to wiring. Red Com- et fire balls thrown into the boat immediately were not enough. It took local fire equipment to ex- tinguish the blaze. This is one more proof that Hoodsport became fire-protection- minded just in time. Recent donations have been re- ceived toward the building of the new fire house. The Union Oil Company, under the management of Harold Burling, sent a check for $100. A letter of thanks for re- cent help was received from Har- ry Smith of Beacon Point along with a check for twenty-five dol- lars, fire fund contribution. Ground on the highway near the Heodsport School has been sur- veyed and found to be 20 feet in frontage, so plans are proceeding to build a concrete block building to house the fire truck.

City Acts On Capital Hill New action on the proposed an- nexation of the Capital Hill dis- trict to the City of Shelton was taken by the City Commission at its regular meeting Tuesday after- noon. Following the presentation of a protest petition by some Capital hlll residents, the area of the pro- posed Capital hill addition was ,'e- duced to include only the platted areas of the district. City Engineer Charles Phillips is now checking the ownership of the lots in the district to deter- mine if the owners of 75 pet' cent o the total assessed valuation of the property in the proposed addi- tion are in favor of the amexa- tion. If his report is favorable, there will be a public hearing and then further action by the city commis- sion on the annexation. Two ordinances were passed by the city commission, one concern- ing the vacation of a portion of Laurel Street in Reed's addition, and the other amending the city zoning ordinance. The commission also approved the recommcndations made by the City Planning Commission at its meeting Monday evening, as re- ported elsewhere in today's edition of The Journal. Travis First Of 2O,O0O to Identify Object "SUrtday Whtle+vacatidnlng in  toria. B. C., Mayor and Mrs. Frank A. Travis, Mr. and Mrs. James H. Draham and Mr. and Mrs. Chas. R. Lewis visited the Dr. J. S. Helmcken Museum in Victoria, B. C. Dr. Helmcken is reported to have been the first white physi- cian in Victoria and for his ser- vices as such was knighted by the ' crow21. A few years ago his heirs gave to the city of Victoria his original residence and grounds in Victoria upon condition that it be maintain- ed as a museum. The original home with the original fireplaces, furni- ture and glass windows and Dr. Hehncken's surgical implements are maintained on display. The windows were glass blown in Eng- land, brought to Esquimault and carried in six miles to Victoria by the Indians. All quiant and useful household implements are preserved. Sun- day the curator brought out one quaint and unique household im- plement of the 1850%. "What is it?" she asked Mayor Frazik Travis, who took one look and answered, "A boot jack." She said, "Of the 20,000 people who have visited this museum you are the only one who gave the cor- rect answer." While in Victoria Mayor Travis was informed that the mayor of Victoria had never visited tlm the Helmeken Museum, then Shel- ton's mayor beamed and said, "I am two up on him, I have visited the museum and recognized a hoot jack." Commissioners Appoint Doctor Final approval of the emergency appropriat;ion of $2,675 was passed by the county commissioners at their regular meeting .Monday. A hearing of taxpayers was scheduled for that day, but there were no objectors who came to the meeting, so the appropriation was passed unanimously. The temporary appointment of Dr. R. D. Callison to the post of MasOn county health officer was approved by the commissioners. Dr. Callison will fill the post eft vacant by the signati0n on uly 1 of Dr. J. B. Eason, former district health officer for Mason and Thurston counties. A permanqnt appointment for the position will be made in the future by the state health depart- ment. Simpson Mills Plan Education Expansion of SilnpSol Logging Compmy industrial relations ser- vices to employees became effec- tive this week with the appoint- ment of three men to operations at Grisdide, McClcary and Sllcl- ton. J. C. Hansen, industrial and pub- lie'. relations manager, said the firm has assigned Virgil Adams, former bullbucker and veteran employee, to the logging opera- tions at Grisdale; Patti Marshall, former SheltOn sident, to Shel- ton waterfront m[lls, and Rod Ol- zendam, Jr., to the McClcary ply- wood and door plant. 80th Congress for a continuation of the work on a "force account- ing" basis. Hired Crews The prewous construetlon under the supervision of the Bonneville administration had all been of the "force accounting" type with crews hired by the administration for all engineering, drafting and field building doing the work. The new policy demanded by the congress is for construction to be done on a contract basis by private corporations or.individuals, despite tla highly teehnlcal and specialized nature of power trans- nussion projects. Under the authorization of the Emergency Appropriation Act of 1948 passed by Congress July 3, it was possible for work to be re- sumed on the Shelton substation, with the hope of completion and subsequent switching of power from Bonneville lines to the Ma- son County PUD system about August 28, Lamson revealed. %Vork Remains The major items of work re- maining to be done on the Shel- ton project include the installation of a 6,000 kilovolt-ampere trans- former and a station service trans- former, erection of 115,000 volt bus (bar conduct.qTs made of iron), and installation of 115,000 and 15.000 volt circuit breakers Lamson said. Also remainng to be completed is the installation of control me- tering and protective'equipment and the completion of a temporary aluminum control house to house the control equipment at the sub- station. Delay in delivery of the larger transformer will slow the com- pletion of the project to some ex- tent, and coupled with the delay caused by lack of congressional authorization for funds has pre- vented meeting the previously scheduled energizatiou date of August 15, Lamson stated. PUI) Pleased Claude M. Danielson. manager of the Mason County PUD No. 3, expressed pleasure at the an- nouncement t hat construction work lind resumed. "It is vitally important that the (:ozueetlQn of !'U) lhte with 'B6hh6viIl6 poW6i ¢' bd ,nade as .soon as possible," he said, "for tile ex- isting PUD facilities cannot carry the increased hind expected Ibis winter." "The PUD is now really to re- ceive Bonneville power," he added, However, more than a source of desperately needed power for Ma- son County, the Shelton substa- tio will eventually be a terminal for 115,000 volt Bonneville trans- mission lines to Fairmont, Allyn and Bremerton. Final Phase At that, time, when the final phase of construction in the Mason county area has been completed by t h e Bonneville administration, power transmission lines will be extbnded from Chehalis to Olym- pia and then to the Shelton sub- station. The transmission lines wtfich will be used next month to bring Bonneville power to Shelton from Allyn will eventually be used to carry Bonneville power the other way, to Bremerton and Port An- geles, Lamson pointed out. The temporary arrangement soon to be completed will bring power from the Cushman project owned by Tacoma to Shelton sub- station through an exchange ar- ranged by the Bonneville adminis- ,tration which provides an equal amount of power to the City of Taconia from the east. SON IS BORN A son was born Lo Mr. and Mrs. Richard Boiling July 19, at the Shelton General Hospital. TWIN GIRLS BORN Twin girls were brn to Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Swearingen July 20, at ttic Shelton General Hospital. to slick to essen'tial figures in- cluding "eight or ten" projects under construction. In the final budget appropria- tions were included allowing $231,000 for transmission lines from Chehalis to Olympia and $1,754,800 plus $748,000 for lines from Olympia to Shelton and then to Port Angeles. Resolution Passed to Urge Congress Action A resolution urging the 80th Congress to "get some action on the approprlatlon bill now pend- ing so that the Shelton substation ot the Bonneville power adminis- tration ,nay be completed" was passed by the Mason County Po- mona Grange at its meeting in Cloquallum July 20. At the meeting attended by more than 100 representatives from nine out of the ten sabered-' inate Granges in Mason county, the resolution was passed in the hope that prompt action by Con- gress could make possible the com- pletion of the Shelton project be- fore fall and assure Mason County adequate power next winter. 12 Planes Fly To Breakfast Twelve Shelton airplanes car- ried about 30 people to Ellensburg Sunday for the fitt annual flight breakfast to that city. The local flight left Shelton Air- port about 7:15 in the nmrning, and included studgnts getting nec- essary cross-country flight time, instructors, local pilots, their wives and friends.
