AMONG YOUR MERCHANTS
Christmas is exactly 95 shop- ' The job of moving" three blocks
ping (lays off yet (as of today, I down First Avenue has been con:-
Sept. 4) but Walt Ellioit of the plated by the Servicemen's Mer-
I cantile and the war surplus re-
tailing firm is now doing business
at its new location at d07 Soutl
First, former site of the Ray
Olympic Furnittn'e store is al-
ready h)oking that far ahead.
In today's edition of TIo ./our-
hal you'll find the first. 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.

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.

Clean and Press
To Keep Clothes
Looking Sharp
Having a garment simply
pressed instead of pressed and
cleaned--costs less, of course.
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.

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.
