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.

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.

MOVIE ROMANCE
ENDS IN UNION
HOME FOR TWO
An' article in the Seattle Post-
Intelligencer last week brought to
light a wartime romance with a
definite Hollywood trend that was
culminated in Union•
Shortly after the Battle of the
Bulge, Douglas C. Elms, Jr., veter-
an of eight years' army service,
was assigned to guard duty at the
displaced persons camp in Karsl-
ruhe, Germany.
While there he became interested
in a Jugoslavian girl, Magdalene
Dienesh of Aisjok, Jugoslavia, and
began slipping her extra food
from his own ra£ions: .......
Magdalene had been captured
by the Germans and put in a Nazi
slave labor camp and .forced to
work a 14-hour shift in an alum-
inum factory on a starvation diet.
Elms was sent back to the U.S.
and disehargcd from the Army and
franctically started trying to con-
tact his sweetheart again. Her
mother reported to him from her
old home that both Magdalene
and her father had been killed
in an air raid.
Refusing to give up hope, he
kept writing mutual friends for
further information. His efforts
Were rewarded when he finally
found her still alive in a D. P.
camp near Karlsruhe.
VVhen Magdalene heard that
letters were awaiting her at the
home of a friend she walked 30
miles to get them.
Eventually, after much red tape, I
Magdalene landed in Seattle by
plane and went from there tel
Breme, ton to be married. I
Today, all the troubles the con-I
ple had in rejoining each other
have been forgotten, and they are l
happily settled in their new home I
on Hoed Canal, near Union.

Hot rods may come and go, but
the "model A" goes on forever
at least that's what W. B. "Bear-

Taking off for a tour of the
country in his beloved "jalopy,"
Thompson breezed into the office
of The Journal just long enough
for a rapid shot by a hurriedly
summoned photographer, then was
off in a blaze of glory for Cal-
ifornia," ahd the East. ,,
"She's as good as new, Thomp-

mation to a somewhat bewildered
reporter. "All original parts," he
added. "Never gives me a bit of
the hood, he pointed out
the shiny b*and-new conditiofl mo-
tor which supported his claims.
Thompson, a paint salesman in

Belfair and a rancher in e' late,
summer running beef on a wyom-
ing ranch, is headed for his sum-
mer stamping grounds, with a side
trip to Detroit to show off his 19-
year old sedan "for the people
who made her."
From Shelton he was planning
to go to Portland, San Francisco

George Lawler, Tacoma, former
bookkeeper in Shelton in 1890,
writes that he will celebrate his
86th birthday Sunday, and will be
1]ere for the picnic with members

the , City Planning Commission
was 'hild Monday evening with the
big item of business being discus-
sion of the proposed building .of a
drug store in the residential zone
on Hillcrest.
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.
Rawding Hoquiam, was attend..
ing the Odd Fellows-Rebekah pic-
nic at the lake with her grand-
parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. S.
Rawding, with whom she has been
visiting the last month.
The youngster was plunged Into
:he lake when a log she was stand-
ng on shifted; nr0Wlng her into
the water. 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.

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."

MasOn county health officer was
approved by the commissioners.
Dr. Callison will fill the post
eft vacant by the signati0n on

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.
