SHELTON, WASHINGTON, Friday, August 21, 1942. SHELTON STATE GUARD__R_I_E§_E_R\_I_E__EORMED MOWWMINIC 0N BE OBJECTIVE OF NEXT DRIVE Third of the intensified sal- vage drives to be conducted thru- Out the nation is now being launched in the Mason County district where' every resident is being asked to collect every pound of scrap metal possible and hold it for collection by the local Salvage Committee. September 5 has been designat- ed as Junk Rally day, when the residents of the county are asked to have all their scrap metal col- lected. Trucks will be sent out on routes throughout the county and will pick up the scrap. Every piece of old metal with the exception of tin cans, is want- ed. Farmers, loggers, contractors and others are asked by Mr. Ma- goon and his committee to make a thorough tour of their barns and premises during the next two Weeks and to gather up all the old metal and wire that they can find. The- implement houses will be authorized to make nominal payments for every pound of scrap metal delivered to them, similiar to the program offered by the service stations on scrap rubber and by the meat shops in' scrap fats. “Few people realize the vital importance of this salvage and conservation program,” Mr. Ma- goon says. “Many of the leaders in the war industries believe that the success or the failure of the United Nations in this conflict de- pends upon the amount of sal- vage of scrap metals, rubber and other raw products of which there are serious shortages.” Assemble Junk Now The next two weeks thruout the Mason County district has been designated as a ’junk assem- bling period.’ Charmain Magoon has called upon every resident of the city to co-operate to the full- est extent in getting the largest possible amount of scrap, .metal ready for delivery during the weeks of the intensified drive which will open here around the end of August. Big Eagle Picnic Set For Sunday At Minerva Park Last minute preparations were being made today as local Eagles looked forward to the big district picnic which the Shelton aerie is staging Sunday afternoon at Min- erva park. Races for old and young will have war savings stamps for rizes, some prominent speakers from the larger aeries in the dis- trict—~including Bremerton, Ta- coma, Olympia, Port Orchard, Chehalis, Centralia, Shelton, etc. ——-and District Director Jimmy i McArthur of Tenino will be mas- ter of ceremonies. Barbecued salmon and baked clams will feature a menu which promises to provide all the cats anyone will want, with ice cream topping it all off. It is planned, too, to have the Shelton school boy patrol as guests ‘of the Shelton aerie as the aerie was unable to hold its usual picnic for the patrol before school was out this year. All pa- trol members are urged to con- tact the aerie for transportation. Aerie President Collins urges all members of the Shelton aerie to set aside August 23 for the picnic and to bring their friends. Families should bring lunches suitable to the occasion but sand- WlCheS and salad will be, avail- able to those who do not. Coffee and cream (but not sugar) will be serVed by the aerie along With the salmon and clams. Stamp No. 7 Void After Saturday ‘ I Fooduration stamp No. 7, can?- mg a bonus” of two pounds of sugar, expires next Saturday and unless used by that date beCOmes void, Arthur J. Krauss, acting WEDNESDAY T0 AID MERCHANTS Last minute additions to the GPA program scheduled for next Wednesday at the Hotel Shelton, will bring a. colorful touch to the proceedings. Ac- cording to an announcement from the GPA an army band will parade before the lunch- eon, and two soldier heroes, from Dutch Harbor as well as the wife of one of the famous Flying Tigers of China will be present to speak. Questions about price ceilings which Shelton and Mason County retail merchants would like to have answered will get that op- portunity next Wednesday noon when an "O.P.A. Clinic" is held at the Shelton Hotel. The purpose of tne‘clinic is to help businessmen understand the CPA regulations and the neces- sity for them and the general organization and operations of the state, district and local GPA of- fices. The progra will open with a luncheon at w ich an OPA official from Seattle will talk on “The Fight Against Inflation” and a motion picture entitled “The Re- tailer Fights Inflation” will be shown. There will follow four. discus- sions on the merchandise topics of food, clothing; furniture and house furnishings, and garages and filling stations with questions and answers as the basis 'of these clinics. Merchants are invited to bring their questions in written form. All retailers, wholesalers, jobbers, and ‘manufacturers are invited to these meetings wethcr they are under any of the four fields mentioned or not. Many new regulations affecting local merchants have gone into effect since the general merchan— dise price regulations were set last March, and many merchants have received new items of mer- chandise which they did not car- . ry at that time, so this clinic next Wednesday will give mer- chants in this area the opportun- ity to familiarize themselves with the requirements of the regula- tions and enable those affected to obtain an understanding of their responsibilities as well as to have their specific problems answered by experts. Smokers, Warned By Fire Warden On Carelessness Warning that stiff fines face motorists tossing lighted cigar- ettes out of their cars. George Frisk, fire warden. stated that such carelessness by motorists is the chief cause of most forest or brush fires. i Local forest fire crews held on the alert during the recent hot weather had a busy week end put- ting out a number of small blazes. A number of violations of fire reg- ulations were also discovered and fines meted out. A bonfire set Without a permit at the Nailey ranch on the Sko- komish river, caused a brush fire which called the crew out Sunday. Nalley posted $10 bail. Joseph Bisesi of Harstine Is- land was apprehended Friday for setting a fire Without a permit and was fined $5 and costs by Justice M. C. Zintheo. 0n the 14th a logging train switching at McCleary started a number of small grass fires due to sparks from a faulty spark arrester on the engine. Another fire near the Fred Bell place Sunday called the depart- ment out. It Was found to have been started by children who wanted to see the fire truck go b . yNone of the fires reported over the week end caused any damage, but all precautions are being car- ried out by the department to. safeguard this, area. ‘ state food rationing representa- tive for Washington, reminded housewwes yesterday.

Ac- cording to Dispatcher Harry Clark ron1y 30 minutes elapsed from the time the crew left the forestry fire station until they returned. FROM CALIFORNIA ~ Horace W. Skelsey returned Wednesday from Long Beach, Ca1- ifornia, where he accompanied Mrs. Ted Skelsey and children on their return, home after spending the summer on the .Canal. Mr. Skelsey reports an enjoyable trip in spite of hot weather, and crowded travelling conditions. I Dimout Comes To Shelton As ‘ Sign Of War __________——- Shelton got its first taste of what war might bring to this community, as the dimout, or- dered by Lt. Gen. DeWitt for the entire Pacific coast, went into effect at midnight Wed- Iiesday. In compliance with the reg— ulations the city’s electric and neon advertising signs went black ‘for the duration. Also blacked out were all outdoor lights with the exception of the street lights. Mayor William Stevenson ail- nounced that the large street lights along Railroad avenue ~would probably be painted on top to keep the lights from shining upward. Other street lights already have reflectors over the top. Since Mason county is not visible from the ocean, the re- strictions on auto headlights will not be enforced here, but motorists headed for the coast after dark are warned they will have .to dim their lights.

NEEDHAM MEN’S WEAR STORE RECLASSING (IF SELECTEES N 0 w SHELTON GUARD UNDER WAY HERE In anticipation of increasing de- mands for soldiers, all selective service registrants are being re- classified, it was disclosed yester: day by selective service officials. The new classifications are known as categories and are re- presented by numbers which are placed after the previous classifi- cations, denoting the order in which the men will be called. Considered Single A spokesman for the local board explained that single men without dependents who are not engaged in war industry are now in Class l-A-l, while single men with de- pendents are in Class 1-A-2. He added that men- married subsequent to December 7 and men who were married prior to that date when their induction appeared imminent are treated as iingle men and go into Class l-A- He 'said all other married men not in war industries go into Class III-A, under which there . are the following categories: III-A-3—Married men without children. ‘ III—A-4—Married men with chil- dren. From 3-A to LA Men with dependent wives or children who are not maintaining' home relationships had been class- ed III-A-Z, it was explained, but they are now going into I-A-2 and will be subject to call as soon Qlerk's as their boards have exhausted cmCtS their supply of I-A-1s. ENLISTNEN'IS ARE OPEN FOR , VOLUNTEERS Plans for the mustering and or- ganization of a State Guard Re- serve unit in Shelton are rapidly rounding into shape, following the announcement Tuesday by Mayor William Stevenson, that such a unit had been authorized by the state adjutant-general’s office. Frank Worden, local Shell dis- tributor, has accepted a commis- sion as captain of the new or- ganization and will begin forming a staff and laying plans for ac- !tual training as soon as a suffi- cient number of men have en- listed. Enlistments are open to men from 17 upward. Enlistment blanks may be had at the M. H. Needham Men‘s Wear Store, and Maurice Needham, owner of the store will personally aid appli- cants in filling out their papers. Announcement of the formatidn of the local reserve unit was made at the regular Kiwanis luncheon by Mayor Stevenson who then turned the discussion over to Lt. Col. Joseph H. Smith of the Washington State Guard. Smith Urges Support Lt. Col. Smith urged whole- hearted cooperation of all civic and service organizations in the formation of the guard unit here. He pointed out that most of the men eligible for the state guard {are not in the regular army only because they have been deferred because of family or job. Every man thus deferred has a proxy on the actual battlefront doing his job for him and he owes his proxy the duty of guarding his home and family. Actual formation of the local unit will be along regular army lines, though all enlistments will be voluntary, with no pay, and equipment must be furnished by each man. The state guard is cre- ated for the sole purpose of local defense and cannot be used out- side of its own locality. Drills will be held for two hours once a week, though the actual day of meeting has not yet been decided.

Nephew Of Local Man Hero of AVG Group In China That at least one Mason County resident had more than a passing interest in the doings of the far- famed Flying Tigers of the Amer- ican Volunteer Group in China. was revealed last week when E. G.‘ Wolf of Skokomish Valley dropped into The Journal- office with a full page from the roto- gravure section of the Milwaukee Journal dedicated to the doings of Mr. Wolf’s nephew, Fritz E. Wolf of Shawano, Wise. Young Wolf was the first of the A.V.G.’s to bag a Jap plane in , Burma. Wolf got six of them, flew home before the A.V.G. was disbanded to become a part of the American air force in China, and expects to re-enter the mili- tary service after a;rest. A graduate of Carroll college in Waukesha, Wisc., where he was a football star, Wolf enter- ed naval aviation and was an en- sign in flying service. He resigned more than a year ago to join Brig. Gen. Claire Chennault’s fighting group. v-IIU
