Officers Chosen Points to
Cooperation of
Management
, Permanent officers of the new
j America union local at the Olym«
pic Plywood plant here were in-
stalled last night at a meeting
,held in the Labor Temple and
with Charles Savage, business ag-
ent for Local 38, I."v'v'.A., brother
local to the new organization, act-
ing as installing officer.
The new local is No.‘317 of I.
W.A. and is affiliated with the
Plywood and Veneer Workers Nin-
lth District Council, covering all
plywood and veneer mills in VVasll-
'ington and Oregon. Local 317
closed its books on charter mem-
bers at last night’s meeting with
93 members and has a number of
additional applications yet to act
I upon.
George Sisley President
( The first permanent officers of
Local 31.7 include George Sisley,
president; Harold Watkins, vice-
president; Dave Carstairs, finan-
cial secretary; Verne Milliorn, re—
cording secretary; Floyd Terrell,
James Olson and Dave Sawyer,
,trustees; Russell Gunter, guard;
{Ernest Wagnor, conductor; and
I shop stewards Sisley in the main—
tenance department, Gunter at the
green end, Watkins at the dry
end, and Milliorn in the ware—
house.
In seating the new officers,
Savage commented that the splen—
.did cooperation the Olympic Ply-
wood management had accorded
its men had resulted in the almost
unprecedented situation of the
signing of a good union shop con»
tract even before permanent offi«
cers of the local had been chosen.
Delegates To Choose Yet
Local 317 has further electing
to do and will choose its delegates
to the international plywood and
veneer workers, convention in Ev-
erett next month by referendum
ballot this week.
Organization of Local 317 as a
unit of I.W.A., affiliated with the
C.I.O., Savage commented, brings
almost 900 working men in Mason
County under the I.VV.A. banner,
making it the largest organiza-
tion in the county. Local 38, which
covers woods and sawmill opera-
tions of the logging industry in
this area, had 742 members on its
rolls as of the end of August with
additional applications yet to be
acted upon, Savage said today.

HIGHCLIMBER JAMBOREE PLAY
ENCOURAGING; DEFENSE OKEH.
Some of the foreboding with
which Shelton football fans look-
ed upon the 1941 Highclimber pic-
ture was dispelled Friday night
when Coach Walt Hakola’s in-
experienced kids staged a rather
satisfactory showing in the South-
west jamboree at Hoquiam’s
Olympic Stadium.
Although the Highclimbers fail-.
ed to show any semblance of an
offense, their defensive play drew
favorable comment from Hakola
and satisfied even the most pessi-
mistic fans.
True, the Highclimbers gave up
one of the two touchdowns scored
during the jamboree, but it was
to Hoquiam, by far the best-look-
ing team of the night. Incident-
ally, the Highclimbers had their
first experience with the famed
T—formation for Hoquiam ran all
its plays from the formation made
famous last year by Stanford. I '
Formation Puzzles -'
The Grizzlies bewildered the
Highclimbers with their reverses
and fakes, which were handled
with smoothness one might ex-
pect of a team which had been
in training a month instead of
less than two weeks. ‘
Hoquiam won the toss and re-
ceived the ,kickoff, marching
straight to a. touchdown without
a great deal of trouble. After
being scored upon the Highclimb-
ers foolishly kicked off again and
by the time they laid hands on
the ball they had time to run but
two plays and punt before time
ran out.
In their Second engagement of
the program the Highclimbers
were paired against Raymond, the
two Central League rivals bat-
tling to a scoreless draw. Ray~
mond held what edge there was

months in New York City and
among other things there will

' No Serious Injuries
All Highclimbers came out of
the jamboree unscathed with
the exception of a muscle strain
suffered by Earl Lumsden, veter-
an end, and Chet Barger, half-
back. Both should be ready for
this Saturday night’s game
Aberdeen, however.
Louie Woolsey, backfield letter-
man, was held out of action en-
tirely by Hakola so his broken
nose would not be damaged any
further.
[Is for other teams in the jam~
boree, Raymond and Elma. made
the best showings {outside of Ho-
quiam. Raymond outplayed Aber«
deen by quite a margin in their
scoreless” draw with Leo Rubstel-
lo, ascat—back who can duck and
weavei'tgstndr dance like a shadow
aria campfire, and Bill Hoffcr,
‘ .a power~runnen as the main Gull

The factthat Shelton held
Raymond on fairly even terms
after the Gulls had outplayed Ab-
erdeen didn’t hurt the showing of
the Highclimbers any.
Elma Uses Punt Forniation
Elma used punt formation plays
exclusively in beating Montesano,
6 to 0, and in holding Hoquiam
to a scoreless draw. Wade gand
Winders gave the Eagles, de-
fending Central League champ—
ions, a couple of hard running,
shifty-backs who should be dan-
gerous to Elma rivals this sea-
Hoquiam used a different
lineup against Elma than against
Shelton.
Montesano
showed nothing
whatever on offense and notl
much on defense, m’ther. The
Bulldogs and Highclimbers ap-
peared about on a par fon in-
effective offenses but Shelton
looked stronger defensively.
Raymond and Elma appear, on
their jamboree showings, to be
leading contenders for the Central
League title with Montesano as
the weak sister, but that’s only
on the basis of 24-minute looks,
which isn‘t very long, you’ll agree.
80 New Services
Installed Here By
Telephone Firm
Construction crews for the Pa-
cific Telephone and Telegraph
company have been working for
the past three weeks installing
new lines in the Shelton vicinity
.to take care of increased custom-
er service the company has en-
joyed here in the past few months, I
Service Manager Frank Lynn of
the Shelton exchange reports.
The new work will install equip-
ment for 80 new customer lines
through the Shelton exchange,
which reached its maximum load
of 520 lines with recent business
increases. The new Construction
will increase the line capacity to
600 customers.
In additiOn to this, the con-
struction crews have been install—
ing nine miles of new line up the
Skokomish Valley on a complete
new circuit, Lynn said.
The rising business index en-
joyed by the local telephone ex-
change is due partly to -new
families moving into this area and
partly to old residents installing
telephones for the first time.
Police Chief Presented

Police Chief Andy Hansen is
feeling “all dolled up” these days,
now that he has a gold-plated
badge and cap pin.
The two adornments were pre—

PRELIMINARY
l EiTl’ BUDGET
lionncil‘s Task of Making Ends
Meet for 1942 Appears Simpler;
October 6th Date Set For
A Final Hearing
That annual job of shaving and
paring and clipping preliminary
city budget estimates which the
city council annually engages in
should be considerably easier this
year than it has been before, it
was indicated at Friday night’s
hearing on the preliminary 1942
municipal budget.
The picture is simlpy this: the
1942 preliminary budget totals on—
ly $58,165 against last year’s
$73,205 total, while at the same
time the council this year has
something like 3,5000 more in-
come from taxation under the 15—
mill limit than it did last year
due to a substantial increase in
assessed valuation of city property
for 1942 taxation purposes.
Even so, that $58,165 prelim—
inary budget figure has to be
trimmed down to approximately
$34,000, a reduction of about $24,-
000 from the preliminary figure.
The council set October 6 at
eight o’clock in the city hall as
the time and place for the public
hearing on the final 1942 city
budget.
The total current expense fund
asked in the preliminary budget
is $28,705, the city street fund
preliminary estimates total $22,-
330, the library estimate is $4,-
500, and the park fund $1,430,
while $1,000 sums are necessary
to cover both L. I. D. guaranty
funds and emergency warrants,
neither of which can be reduced.
That increase in assessed valu-
ation mentioned earlier is a jump
to $2,289,339 for 1942 from a $2,~
044,294 figure for this year's tax
base.
So the whole situation appears
to be one of the more simple jobs
of making ends meet for next year
at least compared with past ex-
perience.
Half Dozen From
Mason To Attend

Honest fellows like Jacob

save Uncle Sam some money.
Hess discovered a string of
wire in the Lost Prairie district
last week and fellowed it up to
its end. There was a field
telephone attached to it.
He notified Sheriff Gene Mar—
tin who in turn notified Fort
Lewis authorities.
Yes, Fort Lewis admitted,
there was some eight miles of
telephone line and a field phone
missing from the 146th Field
Artillery’s equipment after the
' recent Army maneuvers in this
area. T
They thanked Mr. Hess warm-
ly when they came to recover
the equipment, apparently for-
gotten or “lost” in the hurry to
get back to headquarters when
the maneuvers were suddenly
cancelled two weeks ago today.
The wire and field phone
Army officials said were valued
at about $1000.

appointed so far has taken the
responsibility for completing the
organization of their post crews
before the September 20 deadline
asked by the Second Interceptor
Command in Seattle so that all
would be ready to participate in
the aerial maneuvers to be. held
in the Northwest after October 1.
A similar network of observa-

Paul Chase of Shelton was ad-

Fulfilling the predictions of vet-

Although only four fish were
posted on the qualifying board
over the weekend, numerous oth-
ers were caught by fishermen who
are now kicking themselves
around for not having taken out
their derby entry slips before go-

COUNTY SAVED
$8000 INSANE
COST T0 STATE
Commissioners Accept Comprom-
ise Offered by State; Must
Pay $1,222 for Two
Unpaid Quarters
By accepting the compromise
agreed upon by Gov. Langlie and
a committee representing the
counties of the state, Mason Coun-
ty commissioners yesterday saved
approximately $8,000 on the in-
'sane cost bill the state has had
charged against the county and
which has been the basis of con-
troversy between the two bran-
ches of government for the past
three years.
The compromise agreed upon by
the governor and the Insane Cost
committee cancelled all charges
for the cost of keeping non-vio-
lently insane persons committed
to state insiitutiOns from the
lcounties after July 31, 1938, the
counties agreeing to pay unpaid
insane keep bills prior to that
date.
$1,222 Back Bill To Pay
In the case of Mason County,
only two quarters prior to that
date had been unpaid involving a
total of $1,222.93, Mrs. Susie Paul-
-ey, deputy county auditor, said
today after consulting county re-‘
cords. Many other counties had
ceased payments long before Ma-
son County did. Since that date,
up to July 31, 1941, the cost of
keeping insane persons comitted
to Western and Northern state
hospitals from Mason County was
$7,897.80, Mrs. Pauley said, so that
is the sum saved by the county
through accepting the compromise
reached by the governor and the
-Insane Costs committee repre-
senting the counties.
Other action taken by the coun-
ty board at its weekly meeting
