Veterans Cash
Bonds Slowly
In Shelton
Reaping the fruits of hard-earn-
ed victory, the veterans of World
War II yesterday formed lines, but
not "by the number," to cash
terminal leave bonds.
Contrasting with the long lines
of anxious vets in other cities,
Shelton had a comparatively small
group of ex-servicemen in the bank
yesterday to get cash for their
bonds.
Bank Manager Laurie Carlson
reported that only 128 bonds were
cashed on the first day set by the
Congress• There was a total of
$35,000, or about $300 on the av-
erage bond paid out for the first

School00Days Again--
Polishing bright red apples on their sleeves,
Mason county's hundreds of school students re-
turned to the halls of learning this week.
Teachers took up once more their torches of
knowledge, lighting lamps of learning for eager
--or reluctant--scholars.
Schools are overflowing again with, racing and
shouting children. Traffic hazards near the many
schools have increased a hundred-fold. Excited
children often forget to look for passing cars.
It's up to you, the driver, to watch for children on
the streets. Remember, the child you hit could
be your own.

around here, the boss give me
the job of writing up the nice
letter he got from "Bearcat"
Thompson t'other day.
Guess he figured the "Bearcat"
wuz tied up with "Ain't Nature
Wonderful."
Anyhow, this here "Bearcat"
feller druv a old Model A Ford
back to the nature country in
Nebraska last summer, and he
just writ to tell the boss that
he had a-rived OK. Stopped in
Shelton long enough fera photy-
graft before he left, and the boss
put it in the Journal last July
sometime.
Peared like thet there "Bear-
cat feller wuz mighgy proud of his
old auto-mobile, according to the
write-up the boss give him. He
claimed he hadn't had no new
parts added to the car since he
bought it 19 years ago. Ain't
Nature wonderful ?
Wal, this "Bearcat" says he's
living out where there ain't none
of these here e-lectric lights and
new-fangled raddios to bother him
none. He just finished up with
the haying and he's been so busy
he ain't even had time to wipe off
the sweat since he got there a

He says they use four 4-horse
er used in Mason county in the
last few years, the recent new de-
mands have threatened to overload
the system.
The peak demand for electric
energy last winter forced the P.
U.D. to aupply at a maximum ca-:
pacity under its present set-up,
but with the new power supplied
from Bmmeville all new demands
rill be met easily, Danielson said.
The Bonneville new line from
2hehalis to Shelton is scheduled
for completion early next summer
at which time energy for the Shel-
ton substation will be supplied
from it.
Until then the power received
will be from the City of Tacoma
through an exchange aLgreement
between the City of Tacoma andS,
B.P.A. whereby Bonneville Power
Administration replaces the power
supplied by the City of Tacoma for
the Allyn-Shelton line at the City
of Tacoma substation in Tacoma.
