As it happens with many a good man, Johnny Sermon took a wrong turn in his youth. It was no more than the misstep of a wild-blooded youngster, but it was enough to bring him a sentence of a year on a chain-gang in a Southern state. He took his medicine in the proper spirit, with a resolution to serve it AIRPLANE MAKING A directive to state officials from a federal representative Ofl lthc war production board last lweek requested immediate steps SHEIfTONeMASON ito alleviate the critical situation i in aircraft material production, by l releasing Olympic p e n in s u l a spruce. ' The directive from F. H. Brun- dage, western log and lumber ad— and Land Commissioner Jack Tay- llor, said to meet the program set up by the army and navy as a “must” requirement, “it will be Inecessary to increase the produc- tion of aircraft material by about .ministrator, to Governor Langlie] through on good behavior. But luck ran against him. A brute of a guard took an unreasoning dislike to him. Johnny was driven to making a break for freedom. He made it, but he was a thousand miles northwest of the scene of the break before he found a means to chisel free of his leg shackle. When Johnny Sermon limped into the woods of Oregon, he was scarred for life. But a wool sock and the ten-inch top of a logging boot hid three times during the next three. months.” Taylor said the state board of, land commissioners, of which he is chairman, probably would be ad- vised regarding the legal aspects' of releasing Olympic Peninsula] spruce for war purposes, at its! imorning meeting next Thursday.l Brundage said there is practi-l lcally no mill which is now pro- iducing at capacity, due to the shortage in log supply, and that! ‘ianother large producer may have[ the scar. He landed a bucking job with a large lumber company. It was just what he wanted, although i he was a gifted and skilled me- chanic. He needed to work alone. He had a lot of things to fight out with himself. And Bill Nalen, the grim and silent logging superintendent, seem- ed to suspect him. When Nalen came through the down timber, he would often stop and stare at Johnny Ser- mon, queerly. But he never spoke. Johnny stuck it out, for a bitter year. He grew used to Nalen. to shut down shortly unless a log} supply can be made available.

Jones went to the Bremerton hospital this last week end where he was to undergo a major operation on Monday. No word has been re~ ceived as to his condition as Mrs. Jones is in Bremerton with him. W. O. McCreary took over Mr. Jone’s Bible Class at Sunday school and is also holding Bible Study Class at the school house- Sunday evenings which many find very interesting. ‘ Rudolph Beck, who has been confined to bed for some time with a severe cold, went to the Shelton hospital Monday where he! can have constant care. The neighbors have been most helpful of his needs but no one could be with him constantly. l l l l restrictions." I He pointed out if the spruce is. itaken out on a selective basis, by ’marking trees which contain air- ! craft material, the amount cutl will not in any way effect the| sustained yield or proper manage- ment of state school lands and adequate requirements can be es- tablished to avoid creation of any material fire hazard. Brundage said it was his re- sponsibility to use every possible ldevice to secure a more adequate supply of high-grade spruce and that suspension of ordinary pro- cedure is absolutely required. Taylor said some 247 million [feet of spruce, about 60 per cent lof which would grade for airplane‘ luse, is immediately available in Ithe Olympic peninsula and that preparations are going forward to lmeet the situation, should it bel decided the timber could be made available. Kennedys Enjoy Two Weeks On Whidby Isle I Mr. and Mrs. M. E.

They report much activity on the island in the way of military preparations.

The fingerprinting and the questions he'd face in trying to enlist—he‘d and up back on the chain gang instead of in the Army, sure. Then, the Draft. Fear gripped Johnny S c r m o n. As Registration Day drew close, he froze in panic. A frantic dream possessed him. If the fingers of his right hand should happen to be slashed by his bucking saw. . . . Johnny did not hear the logging superintendent come up through the brush. He was too desperately in- tent on nerving himself to buckle the saw, now stuck in a pitch pocket, and then to let it spring loose, with rakers and teeth, at his strong young hand. ‘ Another hand, the fingers clutch- ing his arm like steel hooks, flung Johnny back and around. “That will be all of that," stated Bill Nalen. “You haven’t fooled me, lad. I guessed you, by your gait, your limp, when I first saw you.” He paused, with a twisted grin. Bill Nalen had more to say, and ‘ he said it, as Johnny Sermon stared wildly at him. “I’ve watched you. I've seen you pitch in a couple of times when :1 cat broke down and work on it like a top mechanic, Johnny Sermon. I’ve heard of other such times. Any day the past six months I‘d have put you in the Headquarters shops, if you'd applied. Now I’m taking you and keeping you. You can do more for the Army in the woods than yoy. can as a greenhorn soldier. This war needs a lot of timber and timber mechanics. The Draft Board will certify to that." Bill Nalen‘s grin became a smile. “And marry the girl, if she‘ll have you. Forget the past, for your future. Others have, and it worked out.” “Okay,” said Johnny Sermon, “But why—” But Nalen had already turned and was on his way. He stopped at a small log, unlooscd his boot and shook out a bit of gravel, His sock slid down. And Johnny Sermon saw, as Nalen had intended him to see, the badge of their brotherhood, a symbol of hope for himself in the big woods. Leg scar. . . .

Worst Part Fire Season Is Ahead July 29~7The worst Olympia, IDart of the forest fire season is just beginning, state forest supervisor, Washington today. “We nave been lucky so far in the amount of rainfall," he said, “but the bad part is just start- ing now. “Everyone should be at least a hundred times as careful about fires as they have been before. The woods are full of logging slash, unburned since last fall. “The rain, while a godsend in one way, has hurt us in another by boosting the growth of brush and ferns which, when they dry out, will present one of the most serious fire menaccs this state ever has faced.” Goodyear appealed particularly to loggers, farmers and motorists T.
