German
Situation
Explained
Kiwanian Frank Bishop gave
the Club Tuesday another of his
dissertations on war progress and
what some of the high points in
the news of the day may mean
as to ending of war and the set-
tlements now being or to be ar-
rived at, respecting the economic
future of this country.
He referred to the recent at-
tack on Hitler by some of his
own generals, and the desparate
situation within Germany as in-
dicated by this and the growing
division of its people into two
distinct classes, the old Prussian
Junkers who are ready to quit
war, and the youthful Nazis who
are trained in National Socialism
and the belief they are destined to
rule the world, and are the most
fanatic fighters.
Demoralized
The recent purges of once prom-
inent Prussians, by hanging,
which is considered the acme of
disgrace, and the warning from
Germans who are prisoners in
Russia, that Germany is beaten
and urging its people to over-
throw Hitler and sue for peace
while it may yet be possible, all
point to the demoralization with-
in that country, so that it seemS‘
only a matter of short time, as
the war is now going on all sides,
before the Allies conquer the de-
praved lea'ders and name their
own reparations.
The recent Jap shake-up and
naming a. new cabinet of busi-
ness men points to their know-
ledge that the war is lost for
them as well as for Germany, and ;
it is only necessary for Japan to
depose its war minister and in-
struct its cabinet to sue for
peace on the best terms possible
before it is too late.
In the opinion of the speaker,
both in Japan and Germany there

Loganberry Crop
Is Poor One
Mason county’s loganberry sea-
son is at an end, and according
to reports, the crop was a poor.
one, only one-third of what it
should have been.
Plant disease and insect pests
are given as the reason for the
poor crop, the culmination of five
years of poor production. Unlessl
some method is found of combat-
ting these fruit flies within the
next two years, most of the vines
will have to be pulled out of the
ground and the crop will be a
total loss to the county.

Police Sacrifice"
Pay Raise for
City Harmony
To Shelton’s police force
goes the credit for bringing
the city’s striking street work-
ers back on their job, though
it wasn’t with police power that
they did it but by sacrificing
their own interests.
Two weeks ago the City
Council passed an ordinance in-
creasing the salary of each
member of the six member po-
lice department $15 a. month,
to bring the hourly compensa-
tion to the level of that paid
the street department workers,
according to Mayor J. L.
Catto.
The day after the street de-
partment walked out in protest
demanding a. proportionate
raise.
The policemen volunteered to
do without the raise if the
street workers would go back
to their jobs. ,
The street crew returned to
work Monday, said Catto. The
council had asked City Attorney
Charles R. Lewis for advice on
how to dispose of the pay-.
boosting ordinance.
G.O.P. Chiefs
Hold Session
In Shelton
Wilder Jones, chairman of the
Republican state committee, with
James Masterson, party director,
Senator Ernest Huntley, cam—
paign manager for Governor
Langlie, and J. J. Kaufman, of
Tacoma, manager of Harry Cain’s
successful primary campaign for
the‘senatorship, were visitors in
Shelton last Friday evening.
The party held a conference at
~ dinner at Hotel Shelton that eve-
ning, attended by some twenty
members of the county commit-
tee and local Young Republican
Club, during which state plans
were discussed and plans made
for local activities.
Among the subjects discussed
was the censorship of certain
overseas ballots which violates
the law of secrecy regarding the
ballot, the inner envelope being
opened to see whether it carried
anything of a military nature, and
Congressman Norman is mak-
ing an investigation to prevent
such censorship of the general e1-
ection ballots.
The visitors reported much in-
terest in their tour of the state
and encouragement for success of
the party candidates from Dewey
down the list to state and county
candidates.

gIn Webb
lRanch Fire
Fire destroyed the big barn and
inewly constructed milk house on
the Webb Ranch at the junction
of the Purdy Canyon and Hood
Canal roads Monday afternoon
with an estimated loss of $20,-
000, District Fire Warden Harry
Clark reported yesterday.
‘ In addition to destroying the
barn, sparks from the fire set
two other blazes burning, one in
the pasture and one in the for-
est growth on the hillside above
the farm, which kept three trucks
from the local Forest Fire Station
and two from the Naval Air Sta-
tion busy for several hours.
Started in Hay
According to Clark, the fire is
thought to have started from'
spontaneous ignition in hay stor-
ed in the barn. The first alarm
was turned in by the lookout on
Dow Mountain at 2:30 p. m. and
local trucks were already on the
way to the scene by the time
a call was sent in from the ranch.
Prompt action by fire fighters
succeeded in saving several
buildings adjacent to the barn
and some of the equipment, but
the milking machine was lost as
well as a great deal of other
equipment and 100 tons of hay.
Five prize calves were also lost
in the blaze. The herd of 157 cows
was in the pasture at the time.
Clark praised the efforts of the
navy crew. He stated that a
1500-foot line of hose was laid
from the river to the fire, re-
sulting in the saving of some of
the buildings.
A concrete and glass modern
milk house which had just been
completed at a cost of several
thousand dollars was also de-
stroyed.
Funeral for Mrs.
Magoon Friday
Funeral services will be held
Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock
from Witsiers Funeral Home for
Mrs. Florence Magoon, 59, who
passed away at the local hospi-
tal early Tuesday morning.
Rev. J. O. Bovee will conduct
the services. Interment will be
in the Shelton Memorial Park.
Pallbearers will be Tom Webb,
Vincent Paul, Harry Deyette, J.
L. Catto, Robert Trenckmann and
Herb Dickinson.
Mrs. Magoon was born at Ma-
doce, Canada on March 26, 1885,
and had lived in Shelton for the
past 20 years.
Survivors include her husband,
Walter A. Magoon; three sons,
Walter Emsley, Kodiok, Alaska;
Carl L. Emsley, Shelton, and Mil-
ford Emsley, Auburn; one daugh-
ter, Mrs. Elsie Collins, Shelton; a
brother, George Wood, Shelton,
and eight grandchildren.
Chamber Sends
Thanks to Norman
Thanking him for his prompt
action in bringing dangerous con-
ditions created by railroad con-
struction to the attention of the
Navy department, the Shelton
Chamber of Commerce voted to
send Congressman Fred Norman
3. letter of appreciation at their
regular meeting last Thursday.
Maurice Needham, chairman of
a committee to erect a memorial
sign to the service men, reported
that the names were being paint.-
ed now and that the sign should
be ready by September 1.
The regulation that permits a
service man to buy and take out
of the air station two cases of
beer a week, was criticised as the
source of supply of beer for min-
ors at dances and around town,
and suggested that this he look-
ed into.
Full Cars
Or No Gas
Says O.P.A.
Under the hard-and-fast na-
tionwide regulation that home-
to-work drivers must have full
cars or draw no supplemental
gasoline rations after August
31, the Office of Price Admin-
istration .this week was taking
the following steps:
1—All boards in, the 19
Western and Central Washing—
ton counties in this OPA dis-
trict are requiring that drivers
applying for renewal of supple-
mental rations submit the
names of bona fide riders.
2—No home-to-work rations
will be issued unless drivers can
show: (a) full cars (b) alter-
nate use of cars by several
drivers, or (c) that the shift
worked or route covered make
it completely impossible to ob-
tain full quota of ride~sharers.
3—All plant transportation
committees are being recheck-
ed by OPA to obtain maximum
ride-sharing. These transporta-
tion committees, with manage-
ment and labor representation,
are compulsory in all plants of
100 or more employees to exam—
ine and certify applications of
workers for supplemental gas-
oline rations and to obtain
maXIm' um ride-sharing.

The Shelton Recreation Par-

owner, Paul Beret, who pur-
chased thc concern from Al
Ferrier last month.
Mr. Beret has done some ex-
tensive work on his new place,
painting the floors and benches,
providing cushions for the
spectators and separating the
tavern from the alleys with a.
wall at the request of the liquor
board.
Beret invites all members of

A Gasoline
Renewals
In September
Renewal of basic “A” gasoline
rations will get underway early
in September with no increase
in sight, Arthur J. Krauss, dis-
trict director, Office of Price Ad-
ministration, said yesterday.
To save time and effort, both
for the public and for local OPA
boards, the entire transaction will
be handled by mail.
Present “A.” rations expire
September 21. Application blanks
for renewal are not yet available.
When they are ready, the time
and place where they can be ob-
tained will be announced. Present
plan is that service stations and
dealers will have the renewal
forms instead of local boards—
again to save time and effort
for both motorists and boards.
Save Cover
All applications for renewal
must be accompanied by the back
cover of the current “A” book.
The applicant who has lost or
thrown away the cover of his
“A” book will have to prove to
the board (1) that he has a car
which entitles him to apply for an
“A” ration; (2) that the car is
currently registered and in use;
and (3) that a new basic “A” ra-
tion has not been issued for it
and no application for a reneWal
is pending at any board.
The new “A” book will provide
the same monthly ration as the
old—eight gallons or approxi-
mately 120 miles a month. How-
ever, coupons in the new “A”
book will be worth four gallons
instead of three. Six of the four-
gallon coupons will become valid
every three months, to provide
24 gallons of gasoline in each
three-month validity period.
Red Cross Board

meeting Thursday evening of last

l
Shelton‘s first house-to-house
canvass for waste paper to aid
in the nation’s present scrap pa-
per drive, will get under way next
Sunday morning at 9:30 o’clock
with the Shelton Active Club in
the role of collectors.
0n the request of the War Pro-
duction Board the club was ap-
pointed waste paper collectors by
Mayor J. L. Catto, who also pro-
vided the club with the use of
the city truck and a room in the
city hall for storing the paper. l
It is emphasized that there is‘
a serious shortage of paper in
the nation and every householder
is urged to bundle and tie all
waste paper. Slick paper maga-
zines should be tied up separately
from the ordinary newspaper as
these two must be separated any-
way.
Things to Remember
Proceeds raised by the sale of
the paper will be used by the Ac-
tive Club in their Boy Scout and
Schoolboy Patrol work, both be-
ing projects in which the club
is vitally interested.
Here are some things to re-
member about the drive:
1. All paper, cartons and mag-
azines are urgently needed.
2. Put your papers on the curb
in front of your home or on the
porch in plain sight.
3. Tie newspapers and maga-
zines in separate bundles.
4. Collections will start Sunday
morning at 9:30 o’clock.
Rural communities interested
in donating their paper to the
drive are urged to bring it in to
the city hall where it will be
handled by members of the club.
schiTol Schedule
Set by Board
With the thought of avoiding
duplication of trips and unneces-
sary use of school busses, the
County Board of Education met
last month and arranged a school
calendar which would arrange the
same schedule of holidays for City
and rural schools alike.
It was also decided that schools
would open on September 5 thru-
out the county, this being the day
after Labor Day.
The Board of Education is
made up of H. Enzo Loop, Mat-
lock, superintendent; Mrs. Jessie
Simmons, Harstine Island; Louis
S h a p l e y, Hoodsport principal;
William Goodpaster, county su-
perintendent of schools, and R.
W. Oltman, newly appointed city
school superintendent, who re-
places Eddie Duyff on the board.
