trict is entitled to three representatives and you as a voter
are entitled to vote for three candidates. In the primary
election there are four candidates running on each ticket.
You may cast your three votes for any three of the eight.
Mason County has, on occasion, had two of the three'
district representatives, back when Savage and George N.
Adams were in the legislature at the same time.
The primary election will determine who the next
county sheril[ is, because the two candidates for the of-
lice incumbent W. A. Potter and his one-time deputy
Sam Clrk both are running as Democrats.
One of the confusing peculiarities of the coming elec-
tions lies in the non-partisan offices. In the case of two
Supreme Court positions the issue will be settled in the pri-
mary, where only two candidates are seeking eagh position.
On the other hand, in the non-partisan county school
superintendent situation, where again only two candidates
incumbent Bill Goodpaster and challenger Paul Gillie -- are
filed, the race will not be settled until the general election.
Their names will not even appear on the primary election
ballot. Don't ask us why,
TAKE A SKEPTICAL ATTITUDE
Door.to-door sales sharks are a nuisance at any time
and a menace some times.. Lately there seems to have been
a plague of them in and around Shelton.
The very least a housewife (or the man of the house-
hold, if he answers the door) should do if she bothers to
listen to them at all is take a highly skeptical attitude at the
sales pitch if the party is a stranger.
We were pleased to learn of one Shelton housewife
who took the skeptical attitude and ]ound out that Nl, e
set of books a salesman wanted to contract her to
buy would cost over a hundred dollars more than a sim-
ilar set being sold, by a local resident.
This particular housewife was incensed by the devious
and deceitful method the salesman used to lead up to his
ultimate goal, the contract signing. The whole procedure
wasted about an hour of her time, she told the Journal, and
it made her pretty mad.
We wish all householders in our community would do
like this housewife did, only sooner, and send these door-to-
door sales sharks packing.
They'll come around selling books, magazines, home re-
pairs (these are the guys who can hurt you the worst finan-
cially), photographs, appliances, and a thousand other
things.
Wisest policy always deal only with someone you know,
someone whose reputation for honest dealing has been estab-
lished. This is usually someone who lives right here in your
own community.
AN EXOELLENT PROGRAM
One of the fine programs inaugurated in this state is the
State Parks Department youth work corps.
Initial example of its potential was seen at Lake Cush-
man State Park, where a sort of "graduation" ceremony was
held August 18. Twenty boys between 16 anal 19 years,
selected from several hundred applicants on the basis of
character and general good record, spent six weeks living in
tents in the rugged south Olympic Mountain area while build-
ing trails, roads, small bridges, campsites and other facili-
ties for the new state park which the public will enjoy in
years to come.
Evidence of their exceIlmL work was easily seen
by those atte,nding the ceremony, at which numerous
state officials participated.
Their time was not entirely spent m physical labor. In
addition to normal recreation respites for swimming, fish-
ing, hiking, etc., the boys were given instruction in such
worthwhile and interesting subjects as fire prevention and
fire-fighting techniques, game and fish management meth-
ods, wilderness survival techniques, safety precautions, first
aid, usc of tools, search and mountain rescue methods, for-
estry and conservation, etc.
That boys of good character were chosen for this work
is attested in foreman Bill Legg's declaration that not a sin-
gle fight developed among them, and that's quite a testimon-
ial for 20 boys of the vigorous teens thrown together for six
weeks, few having known one another before-hand.
The Cushman State Park work project was the largest
of four in this inaugural year of the youth corps. It would
seem to have a bright future, judging from the accomplish-
at Lake Cushman.

Thursday night•
Heading the list of speakers was
Edwin J. Alexander, candidate for
the U.S. House of Representatives
from the Third District.
Alexander said that the Rep.
Julia Butler Hansen, Democrat,
who he hopes to oppose in the
general election, has a perfect
ADA (Americans for Democratic
Action) right voting record.
What the lumber industry needs
is either the imposilion of quo-
tas or higher tarrifs to aid it in
,is fight for markets with Can-
tdian lumber. Mrs. Hansen, de-
,,pile this need for higher tar-
rifs, voted recently to give the
president power to cut tarrifs by
50 percent, Alexander said.
FACT FINDING groups into
the lumber situation were told by
lumbermen what was needed• A1-
cxander said, and so recommend-
ed to the president. What did the
president do---he asked the Can-
edians to impose a voluntary quo-
ta and when they would not, ne
pouted.
Candidates for the state iegis-
latnre all expressed concern with
the i, igh rate of state spending
and growing government by bur-
eaus, which make up their own
budget requests which serve to
perpetuate and enlarge tllem-
aelves.
Each of the fore' placed then,-
selves in tle conservative ranks
and proud to be there.
The state Democratic platform
came in for some caustic com-
ments for its far left leanings
from the candidates.
ALEXANDER suggested that
Herb Legg, State Democrat chair-
man. read the "Comrmmist Mani-
festo" so he would know where
the platform of the SLate Demo-
crats would lead him.
C. Nolan Mason, Republican
candidate for re-election for Coun-
ty Auditor. introduced the can-
LETTERS
SPE('TIIE OF 2rid liAI,F
TAXES ON IIOOD CANAL
To The Editor:
"With t.h coming ,f Labor Da3
the final accounting for the tom'.
ist season is at hand. The appar-
ition of the second payment ot
taxes is casting its ominous sha.
dew immediately ahead. The
"Governnlent" as a collecting and
assessing agency ires never earned
a penny ilence is hardly aware oi
the sensation this time of year
occasion. Spending is so much
easier than earning, and tl, is the
government does ill lavish fashion.
Much publicity has been given
io the stymied and lessening traf-
fic in the lurnber industry with
the competition of Canadian in-
dustry forcing the mills in our
vicinity to close. Little mention
has been forth coming, howeveI
concerning the much totted tour-
ist traffic in the Evergreen state,
and the bankruptcy it faces. Cer-
tainly the World's Fair has done
some peculiar things to the econ-
omy of the entire state. In no
place has the mark been overshot
to a greater extent than the much
looked for tourist travel. Since
1914 I have seen the rise and fall
of the tourist business on Hood
Canal, but at no time in its his-
troy has there been so little as
the dribble of business this sea-
son will show.
Not a "newcomer" or a novice
in the Mason County woods, I have
long held a tiny strip" of territory
on the edge of Hood Canal. It
has become a most costly spot on
which to park my tepee and each
),eat" its tax value lessens my
chance to hang on. To assist in
collecting enough to appease the
assessor I have constructed a few
tiny cabins that are quietly diG-
integrating and falling apart. I
have found no income from this
source, and like others on Hood
CaJnal, caught in the resort bus-
tndss, I am confronted with the
second half payment of taxes in
the immediate future.
Several years ago Mr. Rosellini
engaged the services of a very ex-
pensive consultant to advise those
of us who were struggling with
the "economy" how to make a
"go of it", Mr. Dwayne Kreager :
issued bulletins of information and
mailed out questionaires. He even
supplied a four-cent stamp and
a request for only two minutes
t'me to reply to the questionaire.
I took two hours of tinm-- and
r, dded another stamp to the one
he supplied and did my best to
supply him with the requested in-
formation. Concluding, I suggest-
ed that in his search for "dis-
tressed al'etuu" of the state he
migi, t look to the Went of Olym-
pia only as far as Mason County
to find plenty of "distrcossed peo-
ple" in the famous tourist area
of the stat:e of Washington.
It might be interesting to have
an audit made of the amount of
money spent by the "fly-by-night"
tourist trade as it tears down the
highway to the next free parking
area provided by the state with-
out cost as a state park. rt would
be really interesting to know just
what amount of money Is spent
by this trade. The resort owner,
with his "vacancy" sign lmnging
limp for successive weeks is not i
unaware of the fact that the ex- I
cessive taxes he is compelled to=
pay is spent on the adjoining tract i
to' provide free aceommodations l
to those who miglat have con- i
sidered use of his facilities, i
Where do we get the nmney to i
pay the next half of. our taxes?
Of course, we can be forced to
close and sell, this the wise ones
have already done.

Dear Editor:
This week I tried unsuccessful-
ly to get "tn appointnaent for a

It seemed like such a small job
and I woulo ralher have saved a
trip to Bremerton.
But I got started on this run-
around which reminded me of 15
vears ago when I first moved to
Ehelton as a newly-we.
I've discussed thP mffeeling at-
titude these Dentists in Nhelton

their ability to ignore so:::.u,e's

ules. I've had to wait while my
Dentist has taken "an emergency
knowing that I could expect and
receive the same care if I were ill
