LVIII—NO. 32 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 (Continued on Page Two) 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. Three Harstine island berry raisers, Gunnar Johnson, Hugo Glaser and C. G. Johnson, went down into Oregon last week to visit berry farms there and see: if a remedy could be found.

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.

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. union ‘GREEN wAsHi 60 PER COPY; $2.50 PER p Paper Drive Gets Under Way Sunday Morning Bowling Alleys Will Reopen This Friday The Shelton Recreation Par- lors, newly redecorated and re- modeled, will be officially op- ened this Friday by the new 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 the local bowling associations to pay a. pre~opening visit to his establishment on Thursday so that they may examine the facilities. 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 is Held During a Red Cross board meeting Thursday evening of last week Mrs. Claude Strobe was ap- pointed head of the Home Nurses’ Aid to take the place of Mrs. A. L. Lindroth whose resignation was accepted at. the meeting as she has left town. Mrs. Edwin Lovell also an- nounced that two new units are being formed, one the Hospitality and Recreation Corp under her direction, and the Home Service Corp under the direction of Mrs. W. A. McKenzie. Mrs. George LeCompte will also start soon a. course in training staff assistants for the local chapter.

FINAL DEGREE Twila Laney was awarded a final decree of divorce from Ed- win D. Laney in Superior Court, Saturday. 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. Two Bicycles Await Owners at City Hall Chief of Police Andy Hansen would appreciate it if the owners of two bicycles now reposing at the city hall would please claim their two-wheeled vehicles in order to make more room. The owners may have the bikes upon identifying them. RECEIVING TREATMENT Pete Duby entered the hospital Saturday for treatment of injur- ies received while working for Carl Pfahler.
