Thursday, September 18, 1947. 6c PER COPY; $2.50 PER YEA] Census Slows As Residents Fail to Report The census of the City of Shelton has not been com- pleted, because many of the families missed by census enumerators have failed to call the city hall to report, according to Commissioner Reggie Sykes. Feeling that many of the city's residents do not realize the im- portance of a full and accurate count, Sykes pointed out that ev- eryone not yet listed should im- mediately contact the city hall. Because revenues received from the state are based upon a per cap- ita for each city, the only way Shelton can get an increase in state funds is to show an increase in population. The state funds are expected to drop considerably in 1948 accord- ing to the latest estimates from the Washington Association of Cities. In 1946, the total revenue from state gas tax, liquor board and liquor tax and auto excise tax fund was $10.68. However, the estimated amount for next year will be approximately $8.66, more than a $2 drop. In order to compensate for the ex- pected drop per capita, Shelton must report its increase in popu- lation, Sykes said. The state fund drop is princi- pally due to a decrease in liquor profits for the state. These drop- ped from $5.30 in 1946 to an esti- mated $3.18 for next year, accord- ing to the Association of Wash- ington Cities estimate. Enthusiasm Shown I For Adult Night School Classes Registration which opened last Monday indicates large classes will be on hand for the first lessons next week when the annual adult night school courses start at Irene S. Reed high school Further registrations will be ac- cepted when the various classes actually begin next week. The class schedule follows: MONDAYIndustrial arts (Ar- ne Johnscrn, instructor), sewing (Hildreth Horn, instructor), typ- ing (Cliff Hawldns, instructor), Spanish (Ruth Creasey, instruc- tor), consumers mathematics (Grant Packard, instructor). TUESDAY--retail selling (Cliff Iawkins, instructor ). WEDNESDAY Bookkeeping (Cliff Hawkins, instructor). THURSDAY -- Typing (second class of week). As usual, typing again draws the heaviest enrollment but retail selling, one of the new courses offered this year, has come up as next most popular of the classes. Sewing has been added to the group since the first announce- merit of the night school agenda. All classes will convene at seven o'clock for their first sessions next week, then decide exactly what hours the majority of the students desire. - Classes will hold for 12 sessions. I 00ra.s-0000r R-o.00500 Boxes to Route Two The transfer of 52 rural route boxes from route 2 to route 1 was announced effective Tuesday bY Postmaster Warren Lincoln in Shelton. The boxes which were changed will be added on the end of route 1 in order not to make a re-hum" bering of the entire route neces- sary. The transfer was made in order to equalize the mileage and the number of boxes on the two routes, Lincoln said. Tlmse who have been transfer- red, residents of the Capitol Hill district, will receive their marl deliveries about 2 p.m. under the new route schedule. uncemenl Pleased to Announce the Addition Of Plumbing Department IES ............................................

The money will be matched by local funds of $150,000, which will make a total somewhat lower than the original $500,000 it was hoped would be available. The urgent demand for funds by school dis- tricts all over the state made the smaller grant necessary. 13 Classrooms The new building which will he begun soon will have 13 class- rooms, an auditorium, library, lunch room and suitable office space. It will be located between 8th and 9th streets, in front of the new gymnasium. The plans for the building are already being drawn, and occu- pancy is now scheduled for Sep- tember, 1949. The new grade school building is the first of a series of expansion projects planned by the local school board, according to R. W. Olt- man, superintendent of schools here. Junior High Next The next on the list will be an addition to the present junior high building to care for the expected increase of some 150 students within two years. The building is operating at full capacity now. The addition will be placed at the east end of the present build- ing and will include shops, a cafe- teria, a home economics depart- ment and six or eight additional classrooms, according to" prelim- inary plans. The new addition will extend nearly to the football grandstand, and the present athletic field was laid out with this p;oject in mind. Present plans call for completion of the addition in 1950. Munro Shoe Store Opening Saturday At 125 Railroad An old teammate rejoins Shel- Ion's retail business circle Satur- day when Al Munro opens his new family shoe store at 125 Railroad Avenue, former location of the Needham's Men's Wear store. To be known as Munro's Shoe Store, this new Shelton firm will feature complete lines of men's, women's and children's footwear at popular prices carrying such well known manufacturers' names as Little Yankee children's shoes, Freeman's men's shoes, Friendly sports shoes, Fortunette casuals, and Krippendorf footrest ladies , shoes, among others. Mr. Munro owned and operated Munro's Men's Wear store here from 1941 to 1946, when he had to close the business because of the lack of a location. For the past seven months he has been with the Lumbermen's Mercantile men's department. A graduate of Irene S. Reed high school with the class of 1932, Mr. Munro has lived and worked in Shelton ever since and is well lnown throughout Mason County. His opening this Saturday will not be With his complete line of merchandise for his slipper and boot stock will not be in for an- other month, but the Munro Shoe Store Will have a good supply of general Work and dress footwear for its public debut Saturday, Settle First Case Out of Court In Jury Session The first case scheduled for the new jury term in Mason County Superior court provided little op- portunity for court room fire- oWfOrks londay. It was settled out court. The case was filed by 'the Wash- ington Service Co. agahst Art Taylor. It was revealed in the session, however, that 33 Jurors of the panel drawn in August had been excused for various reasons before the jury term began Monday. Excused were, by Judge D. F. Wright on August 20: John T. Liegal; on Auust 23, Fred B. jSnelgrove, Chet Hillman, Arvid ohnson and Fannie M. Smith; on August 27 Allen E. Rau; on Sep- ten/br 13, O D Durand, Lee Westlund, A "N "Parrett, Clyde Townsend, Charies Chester and Harlan E. Parker. Excused by Judge John M. Wil- son on September 6 were: Ray Morkert, E. J MeGill, John J. Stuyts, Alvia Bard and W. H. An- derson. Women excused were Helvi La- tham, Corrine F. Allan, Ella Lange, Mac Hanson, Mary Bed- narski, Bertha Larson-and Estelle Castle. Excused by Judge D. F. Wright on September 15 were: Bert Dav- is, James A. Berry, H. I. Mille, Karl T. Rose, Joseph D. Gruve ,r John W. Rayson, John V. Sulli- van and Arthur Hliboki. One juror drawn, Gone B. Tal- bot, was no longer registered in Mason county. Yesterday was the 160th anniversary of the adop- tion of the Constitution of the United States. In Philadelphia, founding-place of our government, the year-long celebration of our government's ratification began with the official opening of the "freedom train,!' a special train bearing the original Constitution and many other historical documents. All over the nation however, yesterday was re- membered as the re-dedication day of Democracy in the world. The precepts of government estab- lished by the writers of the Constitution in 1783 have come to be followed all over the world. Today, 160 years later, the Constitution stands as a foundation for the future--a future of demo- cratic action by all peoples of the world, united and acting in the common good. Hammersly Inlet Improvements May Be Expected Stating his belief that Congress- man Russell V. Mack would pro- vide the impetus to secure federal legislation and appropriations for improvement of Hammersley's In- let navigation, Roy Kimbel re- ported to the Chamber of Com- merce on a trip taken last week on his yacht to show Mr. Mack where the development was sought. Kimbel's report was the high- light of the regular monthly bust- hess meeting of the Chamber here at Hotel Shelton Coffee shop. A guest speaker scheduled, Ernest Gribble of Olympia, was unable to I attend. The large attendance of mem- bers heard reports of committee chairmen on progress of several outstanding projects of the organ- ization, including a report and recommendation from C. Henry Bacon's advertising committee that a sign board be erected in the area of Mud Bay, which would attract tourists to Shelton and Hood Canal instead of turning off to Grays Harbor. The matter was generally dis- cussed after a report of approval was made by the board of direc- tors. President Roy Ritner presided over the session, which included a fine dinner before the business ses- sion. PARENTS OF GIRL Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Parker of the McGuire Apartments on 12th and Railroad, became parents of a baby girl September 11 at the Shelton General Hospital. i Search Party Scours Dayton Area for Plane Forty Bellevue, Wash., people are searching the Dayton area for an airplane that was carrying Robert Bryan to Olympia which may have been forced to land in the heavily wooded section on Sep- tember 7. Young Bryan left Kelso intend- ing to land at Olympia for refuel- ing, but never reached there. Army, Navy, Coast Guard and Marine planes have been assist- lng  the search for the missing plam; and while little hope is held that the flyer would be found alive, his parents are anxious to know of iheir son's fate. Any person of the Dayton area who heard a plane in that area on September 7 is asked to give the information to the Journal. The plane, a yellow Piper Cub, was last reported over Chehalis on the scheduled flight to Olympia but never reached there. There is a possibility that a forced landing was made in the rugged country of this area, but hopes are fading that the young aviator, a war veteran, will be found alive A J. Whitney, publisher of the Bellevue American, was a member of the searching party here this week. RETIYRNS A GRANDMOTHER Mrs. Wilford Jessup returned Monday from a week's trip to Renton where she stayed with her daughter who returned from May- nard Hospital in Seattle with a baby girl. The baby was born to Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Watt September 4 and was named Maryanne, Youthful 'Police' Escorts 85 Patrolmen Aid Safety A flashing red flag, white "Sam Brown" belts and light slicker once again mark the opening of school and regular safety activities of the school-boy patrol. Taking their stands seven times daily, the patrol boys are a living reminder for the often-careless motorist to "slow down and be careful." Since the first week of school, 85 fourth, fifth and sixth grade boys have appeared regularly on their assigned coaers at Railroad at Fifth, Cola at Fifth and Cola at Seventh streets for the Lin- coln boys, and Olympic Highway at Cascade and Pioneer Way .at Five Corners for the Bordeaux patrolmen. Other patrol boys travel on the school buses carrying kindergar- ten children. Rain or shine the boys are on duty every day ,at 8:30, 11, noon, 12:30, 2:30 and 3:10, waving their warning flags and escorting young- er students across the dangerous arterials. The school boy patrol program has the full cooperation and ap- proval of every law enforcement agency in the county, but they need the cooperation of each driv- er to assure accomplishment of their little rewarded job. To the present time, there have been no fatal school accidents, and each patrolman hopes that by do- ing his bit, the 100 per.cent rec- ord will be continued. The following patrol officers are on duty at Lincoln school: Toby Halbert (captain) Phil Kieburtz (assistant captain), Gary Getty, Edwaxd. Pratt, Billy Smith, Eddic James, Gary Barnhard, Richard Prizner, Dennis Yenter, Bobby Barrett, Peter Kendall, Larry Rid- ley, Billy Stewart, Neff Seljestad, Clifford Waters, Freddie Patter- son, Paul SWietering, Buddy Gray, Billy Ramey, Billy Boysen, George Shonkwfller, Ronald Workman, Gordon Valley, Bonnie Combs, Tommy Baze and James Fetterley. Others are: Stanley Lindholm, Michael Lumsden, Richard Clif- ton, Jack Valley, Roll Schlosser, Mickey Goodwin, Bill Null, Don- ald Kenyon, George McBride, Pat Getty, Tommy Miles, Peter Frank, Duane Rodgers, Robert Stratton, Billy Holder, Bruce Combs, Ken- neth Brownfield, Bobby Young, Jim Peterson, Charles Anderson, Sally Sharp, Shirley Dodds, Kaven Kneeland, Donald Brownfield, Lar- ry Barry, Eugene Costin, Ronald Larson, Russell Morken, ;Michael Meyer, Corwin Myers, Richard Edgeley, Eric Ericson, Billy Max- well, Wallace Lord, Billy Swank, Richard Nichols and Robert Rut- ter. On duty at the Bordeaux cross- ings on Hillcrest are: David. Aus- tin (captain), Bobby Ferguson (assistant captain}, Bobby Price, Charlie Watson. Homer McCutch- con, Evan Adams, Kenny Eacrett, Carl Vanderwall, Robert Hough, Russ Talks Mason Booth To Kiwanis Wins Prize at Club Meet Nick Yantsin, a native of Russia, told an interested Shelton Kiwanis club aud- ience that Americans should have a deeper appreciation for the freedoms they take for granted. Yantsin said that appreciation of the American way is the only method of combatting the inces- sant chant of pro-Soviet ideaology and superiority to the American system. He is a member of the Aber- deen police force, and during the war was a member of the U.S. Naval Intelligence, Yantsin told of his wide acquain- tance with Russians of all walks of life, and his daily contacts with people connected with Russian shipping at American ports. He said the Russian, personally and individually is not much dif- ferent than ourselves, but collect- ively he is a reluctant and strange person. Puyalhp Fair The Mason County exhibit at the Western Washington Fair in Puyallup was given a second prize ribbon in the over-all judging last week The exhibit, sponsored by the Shelton Chamber of Commerce was planned and built by Lee Hus- ton, Arcadia, and County Exten- sion Agent Andy Kruiswyk. The award carries with it a cash prize of $150. The Mason county booth also was awarded a special $50 prize for its outstanding ar- rangement. Judging was on the basis of 50 per cent for quality, 30 per cent for quantity and 20 per cent for variety of exhibits shown. The Mason county exhibit is lo- cated in the agriculture display section of the fair, and is arranged! in the form of four concentric stars, with equal display of items from every side of the booth. Featured is a painting of Mount Washington by Mel. Bearden, of Hoodsport, which is flanked by displays of grapes, apples, honey, The speaker also said that he I soap, butter and many different had visited much of Russia during varieties of vegetables.

Russians, declared the former intelligence officer, find it diffi- cult to understand why our gov- ernment will allow criticism of public officials and the govern- ment, when in Russia., if such was practiced the offender would be a subject for liquidation. The Aberdeen police officer spiced his very interesting talk with several humorous incidents of Russian behavior in the United States during their visit here. He said that he had been forced into several embarrassing experiences when being forced to act as a go- betwer and ipret for, one Russian captain who sought an engagement with young women. City Commission Gives Action On New Sewer Lines Acting on the recommendation of County Health Officer Dr. Ken- neth Partlow, the City Commission Tuesday authorized the formation of a local improvement district on Angleside to provide sewers for new houses being constructed by Joe Tice and H. G. Noble. Dr. Partlow asked that action be taken at once to provide ade- quate sewage disposal for one house in the block which is now occupied but has neither sewer connection nor septic tank. The new sewer will be installed at once. In another action on the sewer situation in Shelton, a call for bids to increase the size of the sewer line from the location of the new Simpson office building between 2nd and 4th streets was authorized by the City Commission yesterday. A report on a petition presented to the City Commission by Mrs. Mabel Hall asking for the dredg- ing of Goldsborough creek from 1st to 7th streets was made by City Engineer Phillips at the Tuesday Commission meeting. Phillips reported that the creek had been dredged from 1st street to tidewater earlier in the sum- mer and he felt that the deeper channel will relieve the situation higher up the creek also. No fur- ther action on the petition is con- templated. No further action on the Shelton water supply was revealed by the commission at its meeting, altho the engineering department is still testing the new well. Bus Fare Boost Asked Here By Bremerton Line A hearing has been scheduled in Tacoma for October 8 to deter- mine whether or not bus fare on the Bremerton- Tacoma stages should be increased. An application for increasing the fares was filed in August with the State Department of Transporta- tion, but the boost which was scheduled to go into effect Mon- day has been delayed until after the hearing. The increase asked by the com- pany will tend to equalize the company's fare schedules accord- ing to the traffic between differ- ent cities. There would be no change on. the tickets from Shelton to Olympia, but fares would go up .from here to Bremcrton, and there would be a 50 per cent boost in commuter ticket books. The company is operating on a 1939 tariff schedule at the present Arthur McMahon, David McGee, time, according to company repro- Lamber Buch, Rodney" Shenarood, sentatives.

Shelton Baseball Grandstand Plans In Final Stages , Work on the new Shelton ase ball grandstand WIli get ufiderway in the near future. Government restrictions have been eased and all preliminary plans completed for the project, School Superin- Lendent R. W. Oltman, said yes- terday. The stands will be located on :the southeast corner of Loop Field i just back of the present portable bleachers When com.pleted  there will be seating space for about 1,200 under roof plus 650 on bleachers. The over-all length of the field will be increased by ap- proximately 45 feet. The work is to be done as far as possible by the high schools Vocational Carpenters' Class un- der the supervision of Arne John- son and George Woodruff. The construction will be unique n that the running track will go under the full length of the stand. This eliminates all interference of the track with the baseball infield. The Carpentry Class expecting to do the construction work has a membership of 11 boys and is oper- ated on a vocational basis. Th boys are enrolled in the class on a half day basis and receive all types of training in construction processes. When this phase of the field is completed, Shelton will have one of the best and nmst complete out- door athletic setups i te south- west. 2 Shelton Church ! Groups Are United Effective with next Sunday's services, the Assembly of God Tabernacle will encompass the former Calvary Pentecostal church congregation and will use the lat- ter's edifice at 130 East Pine street for its services hereafter, :according to an announcement madff this week by Rev. Sam Mg- Gill of the Assembly of God. The combination of the two congregations will total an esti- mated 125 members to start, Rev. McGill said, with a Sunday school of approximately 200 children. The combined congregation will be un- der the name of the Assembly of God Tabernacle. Two special dedicatory' services observing the occasion will bc held Monday at 3:00 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. The union of the two churches solves at least temporarily a long standing problem of an adequate place of worship for the Assembly of God Tabernacle. Garbage Dumping on Union Road Protested The Mason County commission- ors acted to investigate the dump- ins of garbage on the road leading to the garbage dump near Union following the receipt of a letter from the Hood Canal Improvement Club at the meeting Monday. Other action taken by the com- missioners included the granting of a three-month dance license to the Dayton Conmmnity Club, and the purclse of a gas pump from Cliff Wiell. PARENTS OF SON € A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. W, I-I. Cook, Rt. 3, September 14, at tho Clinic Itopital. Catholic Plan For School Is Approved The recommendation that a permit be granted for the construction of a parochial school by St. Edwards church was made by the City Plan- ning commission following a public hearing Monday eve- ning. The approval was given by a five to one vote of the seven com- mission members, with the chair- man not voting. The recommenda- tion was revealed in a letter to the City Commission at its regular meeting Tuesday. The City Commission voted to table the report after a prelimi- nary discussion, because of the press of other business which had occupied the meeting until after 4 p.m. when the planning commis- sion letter was read. IIeaing Opened The hearing was opened by Chairman R. W. Oltman of the city planning council and he asked a reading of the application for the new school which was pre- sented by St. Edwards church, and a reading of the protest petition signed by residents of the district. Chairman Oltman then asked for comments from the group of about fifty citizens packing the council room of the City Hall, and Bruce Elmore, representing the supporters of the parochial school, told of the proposed new building, emphasizing that it would help relieve the elementary school classroom shortage. Fireproof Buihllng He stated that the proposed school wilt be of fireproof con- crete and masonry construction, will have four classrooms, two of- fices and two necessary rest- rooms and cloak-rooms. The building will be about 73 feet by 85 feet and will occupy approx- imately one-third of the six lots fronting on Third street, and across from St. Edward's church. Elmore stated that it was planned to house children from the first six grades only, and it, was anticipated there would be about 70 children to start with more possible in future years. Teaching would be done by five Catholic sisters and supervision, it was pointed out, would be ex- cellent from the point of view of numbers of students for each teacher. Plans Shown An architect, s drawlng of the proposed building and its floor- plan were passed around among the group present for their inspec- tion. Elmore stated that all build- ing code regulations for the city will be followed in respect to fire safety, plumbing, electr:icat wiring:. : ....... and: SO on. Oltman then asked for com- ments from the protesting citizens and at first received no response. O. E. Runacres, 421 North Third St., acting as a spokesman for the protesting petitioners at first stated that their comments were contained within the p e t i t i o n which had been. presented pre- viously. Objections Voiced After a second request for com- ment and discussion by Oltman, Runaeres arose again and stated briefly that the main points of ob- jections were based upon the small size of the lot in relation to the (Continued Ou Pag( Eight) 'City Is Backing New Building,' Say Jaycees "The people seem to be behind the project 100 per ce[lt," was the comment of 'committee members of the Junior Chamber who are working on the proposed new $90,- 000 Civic-Youth center here. Reporting that they are now contacting members of various lo- cal civic organizations to organize a concerted drive for the construc- tion program, Carrel McElroy, chairman of the organizing sub- committee for the project, said that he had encountered nothing but favorable comment from Shel- ton residents interested in the cen- ter. McElroy and Ed Lovell, another member of the Youth Committee of the Junior Chamber, met with the six senior high school repre- sentatives in Principal George Hermes' office ysterday to dis- cuss plans for the formation of a youth organization at the school net week. The youngsters will form a new youth club at a general assembly in the school Monday, with an election, appointment of commit- tees and adoption of rules and reg- ulations scheduled. Tbe new club will have no dues or fees, and will cooperate in pre- senting the new program of month- ly youth dances scheduled to start next month. Membership cards are now being printed, and will be used by all members of the club. 2 Local Children. Hurt in Montana The two young daughters of Ralph Brekke were hospitalized in Billings, Mont., Monday following an accident involving the car driven by Otto Kump, Shelton bar- her, about 12 miles from Billings. The daughters, accompanying their mother, Kump and Alau Johnson, son of Roland Johnson, manager of P.U.D. No. 1 werc on their way to Aberdeen, S. Dak., to visit friends md, relatives.
