The school board in district 309 Tuesday night ordered a new school bus and made plans to start some kinder- garten classes at the new Evergreen Grade School. HOMER TAYLOR, assistant su- perintendent of schools, said that all buses carrying pupils to classes in Shelton were well filled and that the new bus Was needed to ease the load. Delivery on the i 58-passenger Ford bus is expected in about 60 days. i Although the Evergreen Grade I School at Ninth and Cedar streets won't be completed until late in October, some of the city's kinder- garten pupils will be starting classes there next Week. SUPERINTENDENT of con- struction, Frank Sutherlin, is pre- paring two or three rooms for the youngsters. Notices will be sent to parents telling the date on which classes wll be opened there, said Rudy Oltman, superintendent of schools. Enrollment in all schools in Shelton after the first week of classes was set at 2,075, compared with the 1948's previous record of 1,982 students, figures at the su- pertntendent's office showed Wed- nesday. For the elementary schools there are 1,101 this year, which is an increase of 54 students over 1948's total of 1,047. In the senior high school 444 are enrolled, and last year there were 435. THE FIRST WEEK of school was an intensely busy one for teachers and pupils. In the junior and senior high schools the stu- dents have been getting class and extracurricular groups organized. Junior high students have re- celve.d new lockers this fall, and the pupils have been puzzling over tricky lock combinations. STEPS TAKEN TO STOP BUS SABOTAGE AT BELFAIR SCHOOL Following the disclosure last week that someone had been tam- pering WRh the Belfair school buses, the school boarff moved to provide a special guard. A group of citizens offered a reward of $50 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any person found sabotaging the bus- es. J. D. Walker, principal of the school, reported that brakes on one bus were tampered with, elec- tric wiring was ripped loose on another, and foreign matter was found in the oil supply of a third. Those offering the reward were Harold Staley, William Forsythe, Douglas Lince, Lawrence Adair, Bob Bead and John Simmons. Entered as second class matter at the post office at Shelton. Wash., under Act of March 3, 1879. SHELTON, WASHINGTON, Thursday, September 15, 1949. Early Frost Nips Garden Crops Here A cold front rolling eastward over the Pacific Northwest Mon- day caused a temperature drop in Mason county that frosted up the countryside, doing considerable damage to gardens. In Shelton the thermometer fluid skidded to 31 degrees Mon- day night, while the high point was 79 degrees in the afternoon, it was shown in a report from the weather station at Rayonier Incor- porated. Traveling about the county Monday in search of prize produce for the Puyallup Fair, Andrew ' Kruiswyk, Jr., county agent, noted that gardens were damaged se- verely in many scattered areas. f "Some of the produce hardest nipped included beans, squash, corn, pumpkins and green pep- pers," Kruiswyk said. The frost reached from the Belfair area, Ta- huya, Agate, Matlock, Shelton Valley and Skokomish Valley.

The most critical fire-hazard / s II • lIJJPLl II II period in this district during the Legmn Ur,ngs W,,,te Hat summer was relieved with rains Wednesday. The rain came O.iHom e From Seattle Confab a few hours after two fires theatened woods lands near Shel- ton.

The rain amounted to 0.09 inches at Shelton Airport, 0.11 at Dayton Peak and 0.06 for Shel- ton up to noon Wednesday. Wea- ther forecasts promises more rain on Thursday. Logging operations which were closed Monday and Tuesday were resumed Wednesday morning in the Mason county district, al- though irt several other Northwest areas the closure was not lifted. "UNLESS WE GET heavier rain, the hazardous situation in the woods can return to the same point that it reached Tuesday with a few more dry and 6unny days," Herb Grell, State Forestry warden, said. A -acre fire near Dayton starting from a rubbish fire that jumped to brush was brought un- der control at 10:25 o'clock Tues- day night. ANOTHER FIRE that was started by campers who went away without putting out embers spread along the bank at Ham- mersley Inlet at 12:45 a.m. Wed- nesday. It burned about + acre in the Walker Park addition east of Shelton before stopped at 3:30 a.m. by a crew from the State Forestry office. Russell V.

THAT TIME ALREADY-- ILaurels For Both Groups Are Offered "The Shelton Jaycees have done a good job, and we're proud of them," asserted Lea eras, Chamber of Commerce president, before turning over the joint session Thursday night to the Jaycees. Special ONLY AN APPOINTMENT TODAY AT The Shelton Legionnaires brought a white hat home from Seattle. The white hat designates a post in the De- partment of Washington and is the first one Shelton has _ _ever earned.

They will distribute strips of illuminons substance to all bicycle owners. Those having bicycles are to clean them, removing all oil and dust, and bring them to the Lira- coln School on the Saturdays of September 24 and October 1. II- luminous "Scotchlite-a-bike" will be applied to the front and rear of each bicycle by the Kiwanians. The substance will be given free of charge. Kiwanian Bill Hawkins suggested'that those living in rural communities bring their bikes on a truck and bring them to town for the free appli- cation which will make night rid- ing more safe. Hours of distribution will be JACK EATON, 29, a veteran of World War lI, captttrcd the posi- tion of d epart.mcnt sergeant-at- arms in a landslide of votes last Saturday morning. After T. A.

Sparking his topic with re- marks on women's apparel, St+rap- son illustrated colorfully and clearly the purposes that guide Jaycee groups, locally and na- tionally. "THE ,IAYCEES," Stimpson said, "promote personal develop- ment in each member, strive for leadership training and take part in community service. "Chamber men are leaders for their sounder and more experienc- ed judgment, while the Jaycees provide the rah-rah spirit and knuckle-down and work ambition. Both groups complement each other.
