Enrollment
Record Set
What is believed to be a new
record enrollment for first week
rolls in the Sheltort school system
was attained when nearly 1700 stu-
dents reported for the resumption
of classwork for the 1946-47
school year Tuesday, City School
Supt. R. W. Oltman reported to-
day.
Every unit of the Shelton system
showed a marked increase over
last year for a total of 1694 pu-
pils, with the 1700. mark certain
to be attained by the end of this
week, Supt. Oltman predicted.
Last year's first week enrolhnent
showed 1580 students.
In the two grade schools were
enrolled 824 pupils, an increase
over the 760 of last year and 719
of two years ago. The junior high
showed the smallest gain with its
460 students being only 17 greater
than last year's 443 and the pre-
vious year's 422:
In the senior high school 410
students w.ere registered this
morning against 377 last year and
345 the year before, Supt. Oltman
said.
This year's opening occuurred
'with greater smoothness than he
anticipated, the school superin-
tendent commented, and with the
addltmn of Mrs. Arlene Pmtfla
the former Arlene Thiesen, to the
faculty ranks all teaching posts in
the city system are filled, Mr. ell-
man said. Mrs. Pistils will teach
in the primary grades.
Fourteen school busses are op-
erating to transport students to
the Shelton schools from the sixth
grade on up from all sections of
Mason County except Matlock and
Belfair. Mary M. Knight school
cares for the high school students
on the southwest portion of the
county, while the Belfair area ju-
nior and senior high school stu-
dents go to Bremerton and Port
Orchard.
TRANSPORTATION BIG
RURAL SCHOOL PROBLEM
As usual, opening of school in
rural districts this week was
marked by transportation head-
,aches, County School Supt. J. W.
Goodpaster reports, with the var-
ious districts having difficulties
arranging satisfactory bus sched-
ules due to their inter-dependence
on one another.
One of the main problems lies
in the Hood Canal Consolidated
School District (Hoodsport) where
for the first time in its history the
district has to provide transporta-
tion for Lake Cushman pupils.
Heretofore the City of Tacoma
power and light company has al-
ways provided transportation to
Hoodsport for children of its Lake
Cushman employes, but this year
has not, Supt. Goodpaster reports.
One new addition to the rural
teachering ranks places Mary
Proffit with the Mary M. Knight
faculty, whdie she becomes the
seventh member, joining her moth-
er, Mrs.' Edith Proffit, who has
been at the Matloek school for sev-
eral years.
Near-Record Dry
August Fails To
Drop Year Behind
While rainfall here is consider-
ably higher for, the first eight
months of this year than the
average over a 15-year period,
precipitation for this past August
is second lowest of any August for
the past 15 years, according" to
the Rayonier weather Bureau.
The average 15-year rain for
the first eight montis is 33.87
inches and the total for the first
eight months of this year was
38.24. Total rainfall for August
this year was .06 against an av-
erage of 0.98 inches. The only drier
August on Rayonier's weather rec-
ord was the 0.03 inch fall in 1942.
All last month's rain fell on
the last two days.
Mean maximum temperatures
for August was 70 degrees and
mean minimum was 51 degrees.
Average for the month was 64
degrees. /
Maximum temperature was 92
degrees on August 9 and 22 and
minimum was 41 on August 17.
The temperature for August is al-
most exactly average with the 15-
year records.
Ten days the first of August
the temperature got as low as 41
degress.

Budget Sure
To be Higher
Preliminary 1947 budget figures
approved by the Mason County
commissioners this week indicate
a final budget total considerably
in excess of this year's budget but
such an event should be expected
by taxpayers because of the move
into a fifth class rating which
will come to this county with the
coming of the new year.
The $126,247,2(} figure approved
by the commissioners as a prelim-
inary budget total is an increase
from the $98,811,70 budget finally
adopted for 194S, but with each
county office head receiving an
extra $900 per year and each de-
puty an additional $50 per month,
plus increases from $1,800 to $2,-
400 for the commissioners under
the higher county classification,
the added sum is represented prac-
tically entirely in the increased
salaries,
Little Paring Necessary
An additional $2,800 item for
this county's share in maintenance
of a Detention Home, which did
not appear in the 1946 budget, is
also one of the increases.
At $126 247.20 the prelimil;mry
total will need to be pared only
$5,692.91 to jibe with estimated
income for 1947, a relatively small
.having job compared with dome
prey/ells budgets; With a, 5:89 mill
levy on the county's $6,395,031
assessed valuation $37,666.79 of
the total will be raised, miscel-
laneous receipts should return an-
other $57,887,50 and a $25,000
cash balance gives a $120,554.29
estimated total receipts available
for the 1947 budget.
Public hearing on the final bud-
get will be held October 7 at two
o'clock.

tion behind it, a story that may
have originated in the nearby for-

have developed in the Simpson
Logging Company plywood and
door division at McCleary.
Don Clark, general manager of
the McCleary division, recently
took time off from overseeing his
475 men and women employees in
order to accompany your visiting
Journal reporter on a tour of the
door factory and plywood plant.
Clark, who has more than a cas-
ual knowledge of the workings of
his domain, passed on his explana-
tions on the various processes m
terms that even your reporter,
who is most innocent of logging
and lumber jargon, was able to
comprehend.
From the unloading platform,
where the rough lumber received
from Shelton is taken from cars
to be processed, to the loading
platform, where the finished door,
is started on its journey to points
throughout the United States, the
manufacturing of the door is han-
dled in a swift, efficient and-'cap-
able manner.
It Goes in Hero
The rough Douglas fir and hem-
lock to be used for the door
frames is sent from the unload-
ing platform to a drying room,
which is the first leg of the jour-
ney. From there the lumber is
sent on conveyor belts into the
cutting room, where every person

with machines for sawing, boring,

ant tasks.

Carelessness
Causes Fires
Carelessness w h i c h caused
three brush and woods fires dur-
ing the past few days prompted
District Forest Fire Supervisor
Herb Grell to lash out verbally at
the offenders and to call for great-
er care on the part of persons in
the woods.
A. fisherman who failed to prop-
erly care for his campfire on Labor
Day started a blaze in forest and
second growth on the Stillwater
River in the Matlock district
which was restricted to three-
quarters of an acre through gdod
fortune and favorable weather,
Grell reported. "Had that fire
started a week ago we would hb.ve
had a major blaze on our hands,"
he commented.
A smoker's carelessly #:licked
cigaret started a fire in Upper
Skokomish Y,lley near the old
school yesterday which covered a

trolled and here again fortune

Encouraged by a" group of tax-
payers, aviation enthusiasts and
others interested in acquiring the
U. S. Naval Auxiliary air station
for the use by private planes, fly-
ing schools and other purposes,
the board of county commission-
ers has decided to take steps to
execute an agreement with the
Navy for a permit to operate the
field.
The Navy proposes a revokable
permit arrangement, by which the
service could reacquire possession
of the facility on 30-day notice,
making available for use by the
county of whatever building they
may require. The commissioners
believe that it will only be neces-
sary to take over the two run-
ways, the hangar and possibly the
machine shop for operat/on of the
field, which will leave the other
buildings a responsibility of the
navy.
A public hearing called by. the
commissioners and attended by
Chairman Herb Dickinson, Lyle
O'Dell and Roy Cart, County Pro-
secutor Frank Heuston and Audt-
tor Harry Deyette, was held at
the court house Tuesday evening
and was attended by a generous
gathering of interested taxpayers
and aviation operators and oth-
ers interested in flying,
Permit Provisions Approved
The form of the revokable per-
mit was read and discussed by the
mcetin and no objection was
found in its form or provisions,
the commissioners deciding after
hearing the different views that it
would take the necessary, steps
for acquiring the field under the
permit and would then advertise
to prospective aviation operators
to submit proposals for actual
management and operation of the
field. It was believed that not more
than two operators would be per-
mitted to have a foothold at the
station.
Herb Loop, as an interested tax-
payer, stated that those not inter-
ested in aviation should have some
idea of how much operation of the
field would be assessed in taxes,
but discussion disclosed that the
cost would be little if compared
with putting Shelton on the avia-
tion map.
Mr. Beardslee of Lilliwaup, an
aviation enthusiast and plan op.'
crater, now building an expensive
ramp and hangar facility for his
plane near Lilliwaup, spoke en-
thusiastically of the county tak-
ing over the field and sponsoring
its operation. He told of inquir-
ies he had reeived from Eastern
friends who had inquired of plane
landing facilities in this area, in
anticipation of vacation trips to
the Northwest.
PJonee. Remldent ,Favorable
Grant c, Angle, pioneer Shelton
publisher and resident, and Earl
Carr, long time resident, also gave
their stamp of approval to the
proposal while operators from
Port Townsend, Bremerton and
Olympia also demonstrated an in-
terest in the opening of the field
for private planes.
Harry Alexander and Earl
Moore, Shelton flying enthusiasts,
Moore a former civil patrol pilot,
spoke in favor of the program,
expressed hopes that the project
might be directed by local inter-
ests, but whether or not that could
be attained they hope the field
would soon be opened and flying
made popular here.
The meeting Tuesday night fol-
lowed On a preliminary session
with a naval reprentative who
told that a security naval force
at the airport would be retained
there to protect naval interests
and that arrangements could be
worked out so that this force
would cooperate with the county
in the matter of fire protection
and other services.
