. ll Open l
lng more bonds daily, Mason Coun- I
ty's quota of $600,000 will soon be
met, Chairman Walter M. Elliottl
stated Tuesday. Success of the'
drive however now hinges on the
amount of money subscribed by
small individual purchasers of Ser-
ies E Bonds, Elliott said, since
most of the big sales to business
and municipal groups have already
been made.
Purchases by the county of $80,-
000 in bonds, Simpson Logging
Co. $100,000, P.U.D. No. 3 $10,
000, the state’s allotment of $70,-
000 and Rayonier Incorporated
purchase of $50,000 has swelledl
the local total to over $435,000
since the beginning of the Third
War Loan drive.
Elliott also announced the ap-
pointment of Clinton Okerstrom,
county agent, as a member of the
Bond Committee in charge of the
farm program. Okerstrom will or-
ganize a. sales force among the
farmers to sell bonds in rural
areas.
William C. H. Lewis, Associate
Executive Manager for the State
War Finance Committee, today is—
sued the following important
statement in regard to the pro-
gress of the Third War Loan in
this state:
“As we approach the conclud-
ing period of the Third War Loan
the sales reported for the state
of Washington have reached a
figure which would indicate that
we are within easy reach of our
$191,000,000 quota. Were it pos-
.sible to expect dollar volume of
sales to continue at the same rate
as in the first days of the drive
we could be confident of exceed-
ing our quota by a substantial
margin.

Carman explained to the coun-‘
oil that because of the war and
the shortage of young men, it had
been impossible to secure anyone.
[to stay at the fire hall just for
their lodging. Herb Cromer, the
only regular sleeper, goes to Sc-
attle every week end and the op-
eration of the trucks on Saturday
evenings is left up to the city pa—
trolman.
Siren Fails
Carman also pointed out that
the failure of the fire siren to
sound, due to a burned out start-
ing motor, added considerably to
the delay. The siren had been out
of order two days before and had
supposedly been fixed, but failed
to sound at the second fire.
The council authorized Carman
to pay sleepers at the Fire Hall
$25 a month in addition to furn-
ishing their lodging.
Ordinance No. 361 creating an
emergency fund of $300 for the
purchase of land on Hillcrest for
a walkway, was passed by the
council.
More Girl Scout
Leaders Wanted
Not least important in the win-
ter campaigns for interesting the
young folks is the Girl Scout pro-
gram for Brownies and Scouts in
the grade schools and the Scouts
in the Junior school, which have
been kept interested during the
summer vacation but now are in
urgent need for leaders to carry
on for winter.
Some of these leaders have been
lost through family removals and
some more young mothers and
others who will qualify to keep
the program moving as an early
phase of the general plan- for juv-
enile training in'the right direc-
tion in this period when elders
are busy and inclined to be care-
less, are needed.
The young ladies, mothers many
of them, have been devoting some
of their time to this special train-
ing and after~school education,
and they need more help to carry
on a growing program. Will any
mothers or others who should be
interested in the movement, let
themselves be known to the Girl
Scout committee, and take up the
matter with Mrs. Horace Skel-
sey Jr., phone 301J or any Scout
Council member. There is a fine
program already prepared and on-
ly awaiting more to lead the
groups.
Hospital Ban

ed yesterday by Supt- Zella R,

alysis have been in the hospital

preciation of the hospital man—
agement for the cooperation
shown by the public by remaining

activities in this area for the sum-
mer and fall Season of this year.
An open invitation is being ex-
tended to all young women 20 to
36 years of age residing; in Shel-
ton, Olympia and surrounding
communities who are not engaged
in critical war jobs to be guests
of the cruise.

the Shelton Flotilla will embark

bined flotillas to rendezvous at
Boston Harbor and proceed from
thereto the Army’s Henderson

quarters offices, Seattle.
Rationing
Of Coal Now
In Effect
A priority system on coal deliv-
eries—to assure a fair distribu—
tion of the available supply ac-
cording to the need of consumers
——went into effect Monday, Sep-
tember 20 in Washington, Oregon
and the ten' northern counties of
Idaho. '
7 “This. is the} samearea newlin-
der firewood priorities and the
coal priority system will operate
in the same manner," James C.
Scully, regional fuel rationing ex-
ecutive, Office of Price Adminis-
tration, said yesterday. The action
on coal was taken by OPA at the
direction of Howard Gray, Deputy
Solid Fuels Administrator for War
under Harold Ickes.
Copies of Ration Order 14A and
especially prepared questions and
answers for dealers and consum-
ers may be obtained at local war
price and rationing boards.
Supply Uncertain
“It was necessary to add coal
to the rationing order because of
the uncertainty of the coal sup-
ply for this area," Day said, “the
shortages of fuel oil and wood
have placed a heavy burden on
coal, necessitating action to pro-
tect coal users.
“Multiplied war requirements,
both military and industrial, great-
ly increased population; shortage
of manpower at all stages of pro-

the most ambitious undertakings
of- Shelton and Olympia Coast
' Guard Auxiliarymen this year will
afford many young women in this
area an opportunity to cruise on
one of -America‘s most scenic
lstretches of water and in some of
the finest pleasure craft on Pu-
get Sound. Similar cruises which
took place in waters adjacent to
Seattle, Portland, Bellingham, An-
acortes and Tacoma drew large
crowds of enthusiastic young wo-
men, many who had never been
boating before. A large turn—out
for Sunday’s cruise to Henderson
Inlet is anticipated, and cruise
'from the Shelton C.G.A. mooring committeemen have been assured
i
ample boats to accomodate all
guests.
l Young women who plan to make
‘the cruise are asked to bring
ttheir'own lunch. The cruise will
be entirely informal, and if pre-
vious cruises may be cited as ex-
amples, many hardier souls ac-
customed to the cool waters of
the: Sound will be attracted by
theprospects of swimming, Wea-
ther permitting.
It is planned to have all boats
return to their respective mooring
bases by 5:00 p. m. Those desiring
further information are invited to
g- call at the SPAR procurement of-
‘fice, 207 E. 5th Ave., Olympia.

Sheriff‘s possemen and state
patrol officers combed the woods
in the Arcadia district for two
days before Grigg’s body was
found at 7 p. m. Monday evening
by his brother George Griggs and
another searcher.
Griggs had gone out hunting
early Sunday morning accompan-
ied by his 12-year—old son James.
Leaving the boy posted in a clear-
ing, the father went into the
brush to beat out some game, but
never returned. After hours of
waiting his son went home and
secured aid to search for the miss-
ing man.
Members of the state patrol and
the sheriff’s office went out late
Sunday night searching the area,
and the next day a 17-man posse
headed by Chief Deputy Fred
Hickson carried on the search un-
til the body was found.
According to Sheriff E. F. Mar-
tin, evidence found at the scene
of the tragedy indicated that
Griggs had been sitting on a log
holding his gun upright in front
of him. The weapon evidently
slipped and. struck some solidob-
'ject discharging its missile into
the man’s groin, the bullet trav-
elling upward and piercing the
heart.
Sheriff Martin expressed his
thanks and appreciation to the
members of the state patrol and
to the other men who aided the
sheriff’s office in conducting the
search.
