War Calls Come First Despite record=breaking plant=extenlsions today the telephone lines are crowded with traffic as never before, and some calls are certain to be delayed. There are two principal causes for this; first, the tremendous scope of the Nation’s war activity which has raised telephone volumes to all-time highs; second, the shooting war must have prior call on all raw materials. This means that materials required for new or additional telephone facilities are being diverted to weapons, planes, tanks, ,am- . . munition, ships and other war needs. They are vital to Victory. That is why we cannotléeep onbui‘lding to take care of the great increase in calls. What we” Can do—with your help—is to make the ,most of the facilities we‘now have, You can help us to help you and the Cause of Victoryby putting this list of reminders beside your telephone and making it your guide.

EBER ANGLE, Manager [ George Castle, Mill Proprietor, 3 Taken By Death: George T. castle, 67, proprietor [‘ with his brother, Roy, of the Cas— tle sawmill at the head of Oak— i land Bay, died in a Seattle hos— pital Friday afternoon after an illness of several. mOnths. ‘l remains fully as large a minority of the people as in lastl election who are as strongly opposed to the New Deal and, most of its social and political aims as ever, and are con— vinced that these are responsible for the economic pains which now afflict the country on top of its war discour-; BILL DICKIE, News Editor RICHARD WATSON, Adv. Mgr. COUNTRY NEEDS A MILITANT MINORITY While a nation is rapidly uniting behind the Presi- dent as commander in chief of the war effort, there stilll agements. Fully half of the nation is finding cause for complaint in one way or another with the progress of the war effort, the jockeying of Congress on vital questions and the fail- ure of administration to check the abuses that hamper pro- duction and defense and pad the costs that some day must be met by “blood, sweat and toil” far into the coming gen- eration, if indeed, they not repudiated. \ l l I It must be admitted that the system of checks and balances intended by our founding fathers, now in the discard for lack of militant opposition in the weakness of] the Republicans in Congress and in position elsewhere, is responsible for the running rampant of new ideas which‘ while they might be “noble experiments” in peace have no place in wartime. And by the same token there is great need for a’court, Shelton bakery proprietor, change in the face of Congress, if not in a majority at least in a substantial minority, and of fewer “yes men”; in all a more representative body to consider the best in- terests of all the people and of the country as a whole, and a tabling for the emergency of all plans and schemes for the future which are not directly concerned with the only issue of the day—the winning of the war. WOULD “SOCIALIZE” TIMBER INDUSTRY Former Governor Pinchot is out with a new plea for' government control of all forests and timber cutting to prevent “vast forest destruction brought on by of war,” which is but another effort to gain control of the timber industry through “freezing” of private as well as federal and state timber holdings in an extension of federal power.. l l i This is no time to bring new complications to an important defense industry which is going all-out for war needs and is perhaps the only war industry which is really the limit in production to meet the government need for lumber and defense housing; is bearing a huge last week and burial was held‘ burden of increased costs and taxation, and yet is carry— ing on conservation of its backlog as well as reproduction going for future. sible for the ducts. which is a result of federal tinkering. NEGLECT OF NON-DEFENSE AREAS PAINFUL The folly aggravated. It has been bad enough not to be able to find hous- ing for the normal and legitimate increase of families due to expanding local defense-working industries which in time would be permanent and expand the community in keeping with its industrial employment and business needs. But now comes the prospect of call for emergency and‘ temporary housing and care of evacuated towns in event of their being sighted in ignoring the many of restricting building in so-called non- defense areas like Shelton, and of not allowing at least the nominal amount of lumber and fixtures to encourage what little private building there might be, is already haunting this community and is likely to become more now relieve the situation in the aggregate. KNEELAND PARK IN THE RAW Shelton was complimented by Sunday visitors on hav-- ing such a nice playground as Kneeland Park within its= .limits, and many offered only mild critcism that the city officials should do something to improve on the natural park and encourage its greater use for home folks, as well as strangers to have their occasional family picnics and parties.
