Christmas advertisement of 1947 in which the Olympic Furniture store offers a blanket lay-away l)lan a.t $1 down and $1 a week for those who are far-seeing like :Mr. Elliott. And before we get away from this new n:ember of Shelton's business proprietors group, Mr. Elliott said the imlf-year sale helc1 throughout August to observe the Olympic Furniture store's first six ITlonths of existence was a grand success and he was highly pleased with its results. :1: :!: ::: Speaking of August business it seems to be the general concen- sus among Shelton retail mer- chants that the month was the biggest August in sales volume local stores have ever enjoyed, judging by the comments this column scribbler heard this week from several different sources. A couple of personnel changes have occurred at the J. C. Pen- nay store the past few days. Yvonne Jacobs. window dresser and advertising manager for the store for the past year, has en- rolled in a commercial art and de- signing school in Seattle, where she will study and work part time. Her place has been taken by BeLly Robertson, who put in her first window displays this week and will begin working on the store's advertising soon. Upstairs a new cashier has been on the job for the past two weeks under the tutoring of Manager S. B. Anderson, who gained a new resident for Stlelton when he em- ployed Betty Eri('kson for the job. Betty was visiting friends here on a trip from her home in Glasgow, Montana. but liked it ao well de- cided she'd stay if she could find work. :J: :l: :I: For the convenience of farmers and hunters who will have farm products and meat they wish to store, the Mr. View lockers oper- ated by IL F. Boysen will remain open on Sundays during Septem- her and October. Decision to continue the Sat- urday bank elosing permanently was announced last week by the Seattle-First National Bank in Seattle following the end of the "experimental" period which was held for two months during the summer ending September 1. Which means Shelton's branch of the banking firm will also con- tinue to be closed on Saturdays, Manager Laurie Carlson an- nounced.

I Vacations are '::co:mpletely-wiped off the books around The Journal premises now that "Casey" llolmes is back at his typograph- ical duties in the backshop fol- lowing a 4000-mile, three-week car ] trip to visit his old home and ram- ily at Arcadia, Nebraska, accom- panied by his wife and two sons. "Casey" reports crops in the Mid-West short but of fine qual- ity and bringing high prices. The Journal printer got a taste of the "good old days" at home by pitch- ing hay for a couple of days dur- ing the harvesting season but didn't try any other type of har- vest work. He hit part of the extreme hot weather which gripped the mid- dle states and periled crops. Today's edition marks the last of the American Way of Life ser- ies of advertisements this paper has printed twice each month under the sponsorship of the Simpson Logging Company, Ray- onier Incorporated, Kimbel Enter- prises, the Mason County Wine Industries, Gee. M. Grisdale Con- struction Company, Shelton Ki- wanis Club, SheRoh Chamber Of Commerce, Lumbermen s Mercarp tile, and the AF.L. labor unions of Shelton. In this series it was pointed out the advantages of the American Way of Life, with its free enter- prise system. Next week a new series of a entirely different nature--on traf- fic safety and safe.drivinwi|l open with the same sponsors un- derwriting a shorter series df smaller advertisements which will appear in each edition of this pa- per. Parrot Shipping Between States Now Restricted All interstate shipment of pac-- rots and many other tropical birds is virtually prohibited as the re- sult of newly-revised federal quar- antine regulations, Dr. Arthur L. Ringle, state director of health, said today. The measure is taken to prevent psittacosis, a pneumon- ia-like disease transmitted from certain birds to humans. Commonly known ash "parr01 fever," psittacosis is a virus dis- ease causing acute illness, some- times leading to death. Birds included in the shipment quar- antine include parrots, amazons, Mexican duble heads, parakeets, African grays, cockatoos, ma- caws, love birds, lories, lorikeets, and all other members of the psittacine family. Under the new regulations shipments may not. exceed two birds, accompanied by the owner. Birds must have been possessed by the owner for two years, and not in contact with other psitta- cine birds during that time. Some state health departments require Iermits before birds may be shipped to destinations in that state. Further information about the new regulations may be obtained from the State Department of Health, 1412 Smith Tower, Se- attle.

However, the practice is not al- ways advisable, particularly when considering light colored things. The trouble is that practically everything sent to your cleaner for pressing has some soil or per- spiration embedded in the fabric. The heat of pressing makes it much more difficult to remove later on or, in the case of per- spiration, may generate aL un- pleasant odor which is far from flattering to your fastidiousness*. Cleaners report, too, that more 'than one-half of all suits and dresses brought to them are spotted. No spot should ever be pressed. Contact with steam or an iron nmkes some impossible to take out by any means. Prominept among this type aFe those labeled tannin stains ay drycleane!,s. These origiflate from such various sources as tea, soft drinks, •cocktails or ketchup. One of thelr ctmracteristics is that they become pe'rmanently fixed by heat. As with a. gingerale stain which has dried and apparently disappeared, unfortunately many are invisible until high tempera- tures bring them out. Even aside from such hazards, pressing alone seldom gives a garment the same'fresh, crisp lo0k as a complete cleaning. One rea- son is that good cleaners both dryclean and wetclean many gar- ments. Few things look worse than a shabby looking dress or suit with a dingy cast, regardless of how neatly pressed it is. Sucheconomies are apt to turn out false ones, as others may no- tice even if we fail to. Hood Canal Church A special dedication service was held Sunday at the Hood Canal Community Church in honor of the infants, Alicia Louise Ahl and Kathleen Adele Sweeney. Last Wednesday evening about. 50 church members and friends met in the church parlors for a 6:30 potluck dinner which was served by the ladies of the Wom- en's Society. Following the din- ner a Bible lesson was given by the pastor. At the close of the evening some outstanding slide pictures on World War II were shown for the enjoyment of all in attendance. The remaining siding was nailed on the new church addition this week by O. K. Linscott and Ern- est Worl. They expect to begin ceiling the inside of the church on Tuesday. Former Resident Dies Suddenly in Georgia Word was received this week of the death of Arthur G. Ready, August 14 at Saint Mary's, Geor- gia, following an appendectomy. Mr. Ready, engineer of the Na- tional Container Company, Jack- sonville, Florida, lived In Shelton for about two years when he was doing some specialized work here for Rayonier Incorporated four years. Interment was in Sailat Mary's August 16. He is survived by his wife, Florence. TASTE THE DIFFERENCE BINNS ICE CREAM WHOLESALE and RETAIL NeW Cabipete Now Available to Dealers BARS and POPSICLES ....

Box 598, Shelton Charles Welrau¢h PHONE 657 4-H 'Show How' Feature of Many Fairs Scheduled If you'want to learn a better way of picking a chicken, prepar- ing food for freezing, t'eating vegetable seed, or washing wool- ens, plan to put in an appearance at any of the fairs where 4-H'ers will be competing for demonstra- tion honors this fall. This early advice to Washing- tonians comes from John Dodge, acting state extension agent of the State College of Washington. As the fair season is getting underway now, Dodge says, the public has a chance to see 4- H'ers iu action from commun- ity events right up through coun- ty, district, and the state 4-H Fair at Yaktma. Most of the 11,- 000 boys and girls enrolled in the[ 4-H program turn out to compete in the state's network of fairs. Demonstrate Best And during the cotlrs of the: fair season, they. will demonstrate the latest and best ways of doing just about every job in the farm- ing or home-making field. The demonstrations will be based on scientific research and extension recommendations of the State College of Washington and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Although 4-H competitibn is keen in 4-H fair exhibits of things produced or grown during the year---livestock, vegetables, cloth., ing, home furnishings and SO forthstellar attractions of all fairs are the demonstration con- tests, he declares. At this event, the 4-H'ers par- ade their know-how, organization skill, and showmanship. Whether the boys or girls show recom- mended methods for Sdressing poultry or washing woolens, the routine and patter are all their own. Staatdaxds Stiff And the standards for judging are stiff, Dodge says. To place in the blue-ribbon group, 4-H'ers must know their subject so thoroughly that no question in the quiz period fol- lowing the demonstration can trip them up. They have to be able to talk before a group with ea3e and clarity, All equipment and materials must be on hand and handy. They must proceed through the steps of the show-how demonstra- tion without getting fussed or confused. Those steps, also, must be organized in the right order. Hands and equipment mast be used so that' onlookers can see every essential move. The finish- ed product, of course, whether a loaf of bread or a dressed turkey, must be up to standard. And appearances also count. Each contestant must be neatly dressed, and, of course, clean as a pin. That goes for the equipment, too. '.Selling" Considered How well the idea is sold to the onlookers is lso taken into consideration by the judges. Suc- cess along this line is usually in- dicated by the interest and :nUtn- bet of questions asked by the audience. Purposes of the demonstration contests, Dodge explains, are to help 4-He'ers train both hand and head, In preparing and present- ing the demonstrations, they learn to organize; think on their feet; be clear and concise; and think, work, and talk all at the same time. At the State 4-H Fair in Yaki ma, blue-ribbon performers who have walked off with top honors at the smaller fairs, will vie for topnotch State awards. And this year the public will have a special ringside seat provided by the new show windows added to the fair buildings. DEMONSTRATION OF PASTURE FROM LOGGED OFF LAND How to produce 300 pounds o beef per acre on logged-off land was demonstrated at a recent grazing tour sponsored by the Western Washingtpn Reclamation institute and A. M. Richkrdson, Pierce county extension agent. The tour featured Some ( the projects on logged-off land con- ducted by the Western WaShll' ton Experiment Station, accord- ing to Newell Dickson, assistant grazing specialist. Records of this six-acre pasture have beefi kept for five years. A 60-year-old stand of flat pea at Ashford was the second stop on the tour. Also InCluded were t,V(O stops on land recently donated by Wey- erhauser timber company f0r e- perimental work, The first was a visit to the pasture on which sheep, goats, cattle and turkeys are being grazed to determino which of the native plants witl be eaten by each kclass of llve- stock. At the last stop a new 30-acre seeding of pasture mixtures and 20 acres of flat pea seeded on a seed bed prepared by heavy graz- ing of sheep was described. CULL PEAS FOR HOG FEED Cull peas can be fed success- fully to growing fattening hogs, according to experiment station findings at Washington state college, Trials have shown that peas are as good a protein supple- ment or even better than tank- age and soybean oil meal, two protein concentrates commonly used in swine feeding, said Tony Cunha, assistant professor of ani- mal husbandry, W.S.C. When animals are fed cull peas, however, they should be given a calcium supplement such as ground limestone or ground oy- ster shell. Further information n feeding peas may be obtained from the county extension agent, or by writing to the animal hue- bandry department, W.S.C. Ferry Line Lowers Bremerton Trips Puget Sound Navigation Com- pany ferry service between Seat- le and Bremerton was reduced this week from 29 round trips daily to 25. Company officials said the cut was made because of the usual fall slump in traffic. Under the new schedule, four boats will continue to operate on the run, but one f tllent, the City of Sacramento, wilt run only half of the 16-hour schedule. Ferries will operate from 5:45 a.m. to 1.'10 the following day. Under former schedules, service started at 5 a.m, Morning trips Will go about every 30 minutes, afternoon trips about every 45 minutes and night trips about every hour.. The Constitution was thus re- built with "new" timber that was actually probably as old as her original planks.
