I'm tired but happy, now that day is done; I did my best. Through commonplace things and vexing problems, too, I stood the test. I did not with knowledge hurl a living thing, Or stoop to lie; My impulse to add to scandal made me blush .... I passed it by. rm weary but happy, now that day is done; I lived it well. I'm glad that I spoke a cheering word, the wrong I did not tell. I'm glad I did a kindly deed to him Who did :ne wrong; I wish I might live each day like this, And be as strong. --Contributed. $ ITH all of the suspicion be- tween peoples of the world today, the selfishness of national interest, the jockeying for power and control, the viciousness of in- dividual jealousies and the poli- tical animosities, the above seems to be a Golden Rule that could guide all of us to a happier re- lationship with our fellow man. A little more honesty, understand- ing and compassion and human affection for the problems, the ills, misfortunes and rights of others, would make this a better world. With all of the bounties provided by the greatness and na- tural resources of the United States, the lessons of Europe and Asia should teach us the fallacy of bringing unnecessary troubtes on our own heads. e A bill collector is a persisent cuss as any person who has ever had occasion to traffic with them can testify. They hang on as a leech and like the Royal Cana- dian Mounties, always get their man. I must confess that I am forced to subit to the persistence of one of the, Shelton's demon account ferret, who has worked evcry dodge on me, to get him- self in the paper, even to the ex- telt of insisting on paying for my morningco£fee, dy 'on end, throwing perfumed-laden compli- ments at the newspaper and other violet tinted blandishments. As far as Harry L. Alexander is con- ccrned, my information is sketchy and time is lacking to check the F.B.I. files and fingerprint rec- ords. As a collector, he is reputed without peer as many here and other parts can testify. He is an aviation enthusiast, but his friend- ly overtures will never get me into a plane with him, even though he has overwhelmed ,ne in this in- stance. One thing I can with all truth and candor say in his be- half, and that is that he is a mas- ter at the art .of prize fight an- nouncing, for on many occasions in Bremerton I have heard his silve cornet voice shout from the center of the arena: "And in this corner, we have - - - " From all reports, "Mrs. Alexander is a charming and gracious matron. e I have no envy for the position of Congressman Charles R. Sav- age, home for the hustings, seek- ing to mend his fences for the Fall election and to erase the un- certainty that may exist in con- nection with his political future. I yearn not for the prominence that connects his post, the influ- ence, the notoriety or the pre- ferred emihence of his lofty post in WaShington. I can think of more pleasant occupations than tl:t which !nust be entailed in putting a head on the block of favorable or unfavorable public opinion every two years; to have every public and private act sub- Ject the scrutiny and critical • in- spection of friend aod enemy alike. All of those things seem not worth the candle to me, but if by being a congssman would get me a nice shiriy, new and modern capar- isoned Buick automobile, like the Congressman r e t u r n e d from Washington in last week, I guess I would do most anything, fox" I would sure admire to replace my moth eaten pontiac, that has breasted the floods of Winter and the heat of Summer for the past seven years. e A young man in the uniform of an American army lieutenant in command of a detachment of troops was supervising traffic, carc of passengers and generally keeping order in the central rail- way station at Seoul, Korca, fol- lowing occupation of that Japan- ese dominated country by the U. S. military. It was an interesting, tlough sometimes difficult task, involving people whosc language and reactions were undeciplerable. This 3pun.l;, ,o: man, an officer and: soldier after brief preparation, was far from the protection of his home and parents in Shelton, but he was doing a task in a manner that would befit a lcader with far greater cxpcrience. Tile officer was approached by a Russian cap- tain: head of a 'Soviet squad of i<ravelling sotdlcrs and demanded that the Anacrican troops handle baggnge of the Russians. Tim young Yank politeIy but firmly retorted Uat his men carried their own luggage, but were not serv- ants for others and that the an- swer was a definite "NO." The Russian captain did an about face and in a huff, growled: "I don't like your attitude." That night the two officers, American Licu- tenant and Russian Captain met (Continued on paso six) VOL.

The d(q)uty sheriff, fishing in the Satsop River last Snnday, bagged a 22-inch cutthr)at trout, which in itself is worth a little chest-pounding, but up- on cleaning his catch Russ found inside its- belly two other fish, one about three inches long which in turn had been swal- lowed by one about twice that size, and the latter had a hook and sinker in its mouth. 4-H Prepares For Big Fair Preparations which began weeks ago in the form of planting crops and gardens and making articles of clothing, etc., are rapidly gath- ering momentum as time runs out on the annual Mason County 4-H Fair scheduled for September 6 and 7 in Lincoln gymnasium in Shelton. This year's fair will have three exhibit divisions for in addition to the 4-H exhibits, floral and grange exhibits will be featured in the expanded 1946 version of this an- nual Mason County event.

The fair is open to the pub- nc. Furthcr details of the two-day fair program will be announced in the next two weeks. VOLUNTEER WANTED TO HANDLE COUNTY BOOTII Executives of the Western Washington Fair to be held at Puyallup and opening September 14 fox" its first post-war showing o'id , ;'ffit to Shelton t.lis week to express tJieir disappointment over Mason county's decision to forego sponsorship of a booth at this year's fair. The Shelton Chamber of Com- merce, annually promoter of the county fair booth, decided to drop the activity this year when Lee Huston, Veteran booth arranger who compiled wlmt is probably the outstanding record in the state for the county booth competition, found he would not be able to de- vote the time necessary to it this year. The Puyallup Fair executives, conferring with the county agent's office, asked that a call be put out for any group or individual to vohmtcer to pinch hit for this year's /air and keep Mason coun- ty's exhibit in the competition in which it has made such a splen- did record.

County Board Backs Request For State Park Board of Country Commlssiou- er Monday endorsed a proposal of the lIood Canal Sportsmen's Association to Director of Parks Otto Case urging creation of a state park on the wcst side of Hood Canal. The present state park has become too crowded and it is thought that another park could bc designated ou the wet side of the canal, and it would divide the attendance and still be a eonvenlenee to tour- ists. Cannnissloners also l)assed tm emergency resolution for $2,000 for maintenance And operation of the attditor's office. Gall Carper, Mike Smith Tot Winners Gall Carper and Mike Smith won the "Tiny Tot" popularity contest held last week in con- Junction with the "Pep Parade" local talent show, sponsored by the American Legion Post No. 31.

First prize was a silver bup and ribbon, second prize a ribbon and third prize was honorable mention. Varn Eaton, who was in charge of the contest and the show for the American Legion, stated he was very well pleased with the attendance at the show and the Shelton merchants cooperated very wel.1 The post took. ill $1,000 which should net them a nice sum, after all expenses are deducted, for the Veteran's cemetery fund, which the post is sponsoring.

Ox-Team Ia)gger of i Simpson Company Dies In Olympia With the death of Clarence M. Brainard, 88, last Saturday at his home in Spurgeon Creek district, one of the oldest employees of the Simpson Logging Company pass- cd out of existence.

Sheltonians End 15,000 Mile Tour Passing through approximately 20 states in the course of their 15,0@0 miles of travel, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Townsend and their two youngest sons, Joe and Tom, re- turned to their home on South Seventh street last Friday after a two-month motoring trip which carried them to the deep south on the Atlantic Coast. Relatives on both sides of the family were visited in various places from Tennessec to North Carolina and Georgia on the ex- tensive trip on which they en- countered considerable uncomfort- ably hot weather, a fact which prompetcd them to return hereby nmch the same route as they had traveled in going east rather than coming back by way of the south- ern route. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Alice Stotsbury, Shelton; one brother, Charles of Pittsburgh, Pa.; two sisters, Mrs. Ida Marks, Wooster, Ohio, and Mrs. Anna Brumter of San Diego; and one niece, Mrs. Julia Cox of Seattle. They made their home on Ar- cadia Road and he devoted most of his time to raising strawberries. He is a member of the Spanish- American war veterans chapter of Olympia and is well known in this vicini{y. Mr. Stotsbury enlisted in the army April 26, 1898, at Wooster and was discharged November 21, 1898. Use Of Drugs For Disease Cures Kiwanians Dr. tL Sprenger, professor of Chemistry at the College of Pu- get Sound and associated with ex- tensive research work in penicil- lin and sulfa drugs, addressed the Shelton Kiwanis Club at their reg- ular weekly luncheon mceting Tuesday noon at Memorial Hall, Dr. Sprenger was secured for the speaking engagement by Rev. Hardwick Harshman of the Meth- odist Church, who served as chair- man of the day and introduced the speaker. Dr. Sprenger told of the suc- cess that had resulted from de- velopment of the drugs, used to combat infection and disease caused by bactcria and of contin- ued efforts that are being .,made to progress present successes. He said that use of the drugs in small doses such as lozenges, trokeys and tablets, was being dis- c0uraged by the medical profes- sion because such small applica- tions served to strengthen and for- tify bacteria immunity to thc drug, which then could not be ef- ficiently attacked by action of the medicine. The medical practice is to kill the bacteria by use of large doses.
