the time of discovery.
DURING THAT TIME, there
were people moving about on the
street, so the thieves must have
gotten in and out quickly to avoid
detection, Hinton said.
The thieves apparentJy knew
wbat they were after and had the
theft well-planned, Hinton said.
IT WAS MOST likely someone
from out of town, the chief be-

Simpson To
Build Lumber
Storage: Shed
Amother important step in the
development of its Sheiton lumber
remamffaeturlng f a c i 1 i t i e s
a large dry lumber storage shed--
wan announced today by Simpson
Timber Company.
"Preliminary work is underway
this week and actual construction
will begin about Sept. 1," said
t-I. A. Ahlskog, manager, fir and
hemlock sawmills division. The
ork is expected to take 80 days.
To be located adjacent to the
four dry kilns, the shed will be
115 by 400 feet, with 45-foot high
Ade walls and an overall .height
of 61 feet. The shed will have a
capacity of five million board feet
of dry lumber and will contain
a 10-ton overhead crane. :
"With our increased dry kiln
capacity(' said Ahlskog, "we must
l:ave the shed to keep the lumber
dry. Vee anticipate fnture addi-
tions to this dLv storage shed."
Timber Structhrea, Inc., Port-
]and, will be the contractor. The
all-wood building will feature
ghmd-laminated columns and trus-
ses, with plywood sheathing cov-
ering the roof and:,Sidesp.

Plan Arrangements
this man, the Business Agent said,
because only a few years back he
would, have found himself on wel-
fare with the education of his
children very uncertain. This new
pension program is not only good
for tim family, it is good for the
comnmnity, the taxpayer and it
shown what a great service a good
union can be for its members.
Savage points out that it is esti-
mated that this pension program
will mean well more than a million
dollars worth of pensions in the
first year in Simpson's operations
and that in a few years the
amount will reach a million dollarn
worth of pensio,s a year.
One of the most important books
in Shelton, said Savage, is the
Working Agreement between Local
38 IWA and the Simpson Timber
Company. In addition to many
chapters on working onditions,
it has in it such chaptern as vaca-
tions with pay, holidays off with
pay, weekly payments when sick,
hospitalization and medical care,
and insurance which pays a family
$7,000 on top of Industrial insur-
ance if a worker gets killed in an
accident. But now comes another
ve T important chapter to be added
to the working agreement; this
chapter on pensions which means
his family decent and happy retirement for
month in- older people and more jobs for
to help younger people.
