HOME PLANNING FOR THE PEACE Some day, and the time is not so far off, there will be an end to the frenzy of so-called defense building, of air- ports, camps and cantonments, although the latter may have a new life as the prisoners roll this way from the war zones. When this day comes there will be a scattering of workers from the cost—plus jobs seeking employment’in the resumption of ordinary work which has been dormant since the war started; in other words in jobs around home. It is well to begin thinking about this period ahead, and to begin planning fer the part that each individual must play in working out his own future as well as that of the community of his choice, when government pay or; hand-outs are cut off and local industry as well as local brains and activity must take over and carry on. It must be realized that this country will not continue longer than is necessary to “run in the red” as-it is now doing and face eventual bankruptcy. Shelton will no doubt manage to pull through with istl present house shortage until the war rush is over, andl then will be in position to carefully, review its need for new and better homes and begin a ’new era of progress and improvement in which business and labor can cooper- ate in better building for Shelton, in preparation for what science and industry have in sight for remaking America and girding it for competition with the peoples of the other to the men and women in thel countries now struggling to get out of their miseries to- Congressmen are home on the range now, gathering up from us old cowhands opinions about affairs at Wash- to send through the mails—Lyn- ington which weren’t ward rebuilding the Old World. I SUMMER 'GOING GLIMMERING Here it is well into August and the usual summer vacation has skipped along until little time is left, but as gas and idle time is short for most people vacation has become only a memory. and a blissful dream. With the Hood Canal playground near at hand even for Seattle folks the “A” card if conserved is enough to reach this favored ground for camping and fishing, and all the resorts are said to be full. of visitors. However, this is wartime and most people are work-' ing to the limit, making good wages, and taking little time off for enjoyment; fudging a day now and then for change, for fishing or game, if and wherestate and forestry regu- lations may permit. PUT TOGETHER IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE The OPA has ordered another cut in “newsprint” for October, together with an increase of price of $4 a ton, which unfortunately goes largely to Canadian mills which supply 210,000 tons a month to papers on this side of the line. Notice of the launching of the third war loan drive' September 2 is also announced with an elaborate series of , mats and advertisements which the papers are expected to i carry at their own expense, except for such part as local business interests may sponsor. I Closer at home the Rayon‘ier pulp mill in Shelton, which makes high grade pulp for munitions and not newsprint, has been ordered to close, because of the failure of alloca- ; tion of sufficient hemlock timber following shortage of manpower in the woods. TAKE THE NEWS TO WASHINGTON Congressman Magnuson, who spoke in Shelton re- cently in fulsome praise of the New Deal, has since observ- ed a few things not pleasingjand remarks “that taxpayers are getting awfully tired of extravagance with taxpayer’s money.” He has found that 3the labor board, which deals with the poor worker and his pay check, has booted out an investment concern from its elaborate offices, the nob- biest in Seattle, for which it .pays a mere pittance of $13.- 061 annual rental. This is only one of many such agencies over the country, where white collar boys and girls are‘ working in splendor at public expense. The taxpayers are getting worse than tired, itimay be added at the awful waste, and the Congressman should take the bad news back to Washington. Anyway, our Victory Gardens are cutting the high cost of living, for those who had the ambition to exercise on one, and are now reaping the harvest. l l What the country once needed, according to Joe Can- non, was a good 5 cent cigar; soon It will be demanding a good 5 cent cuppa-Java. There are now more than one hundred alphabetic bu- reaus in the U. S., employing more than three million white collars, and it is worth noting that none of these are operating under laws but all under presidential orders. Great field for economy. Perhaps now that August is here some real hot wea- ther can be expected, after a spring and summer so far of real delightful weather, neither hot nor cold, but just cool and comfortable here on Puget Sound. PRIVATE INDUSTRY 0R SLAVERY The administration is planning and many peOple are thinking about after war and return to normal industry and consumer needs, when the business must be turned to the capacity of individuals to pay the bills and govern- ment hand-outs and inflated wages Will be at end. The wisdom of the inflated taxes and demands against individuals and industry for absorbing the surpluses of these high time days, will come into question when industry and individuals are asked to take up the slack by expand- ing the opportunities for labor and for business. Private industry is the primary source of all jobs which keeps the door of opportunity open for millions of American citizens, and rewards those who are willing to work and produce. As a result in the past our people are the most independent in the world, and they cannot hope to hold this independence unless they retain private indus- try as the sound base. Anything else is slavery. l Sl-lELTON-MASON COUNTY JOURNAL Pickering scene 0f Picnic Party By Virtue E. Hanlon A surprise picnic party was held at the E. B.
