The “father of Washington’s oy-
ster industry,” Prof. Trevor Kin-
caid, head of the University of
Washington zoology department,
retired last Monday as a fulltime
faculty member.
A familiar figure on the VVash-
ington campus for half a century,
Professor Kincaid’s keen interest
in the oyster industry is largely
responsible for its development in
the state.
Born in Ontario, Canada, in
1872, he came to Olympia in 1889.
He became a full professor

i FATHERS POOR ASSET IN WAR
Congress is facing a hard battle on the induction of
fathers with the prospect that the objectors will lose out
who are standingpat for the limit in fighting forces in spite
pf the huge waste of manpOwer which is evident in all direc-
ions.
Returning Congressmen found that most of the huge
ship building and other war production plants, working on
the cost-double-plus basis, and even the Navy Yards, were
top heavy with men and women drawn from other industry
and normal occupations by high wages, but sadly lacking
in many places in efficient use of manpower. ,
Perhaps the debates will bring out facts indicating no
emergent need of more recruits for service, at least until
the end of the year, and the need to overhaul the loose sys-
tem of the war industries in loading up with surplus labor,
and also in make-work schemes which might have had place
in depression days but certainly are criminal now when war
production is falling behind the sore needs on the battle-
[fronts
l
On the other hand, with plenty of new men coming of
age for replacements, the low percentage of older married
men who can “stand the gaff,” and the added liability of
taking care of their families, it is time to go slow in loading
more men, and women, into the armed servcies, with so many
already marking time in the hundreds of military camps,
i doing guard work, or being transported back and forth over
the country in the course of training. The home front must
not be robbed of all its manpower.
“KEEP THE SHIPS FIGHTING”
ThOSe of‘us who have taken the Navy Yard at Brem-
erton for granted may well read a booklet just issued by
the Navy, outlining the urgent need for civilian workers
l to keep our warships at~peak efficiency and get 'them back
, into action quickly when damaged in battle.
l “Keep The Ships Fighting,”
lbooklet put out by Puget Sound Navy Yard, is an eye-
opener on the problem now faced by Navy officials at
Bremerton. We have all heard of the manpower shortage
lin connection with essential civilian industries. But per-
haps because of wartime secrecy surrounding a Navy Yard,
little has been heard about the fact that 10,000 men and
women are urgently needed at Bremerton.
Shelton is fortunately situated to answer the call for
help from the Navy, Yard. The large number,of men and
Iwomen who commute daily by bus and private cars to
Bremerton prove that it is not necessary to move from
lShelton to take a Navy Yard job. Inefact several dozen
families have located in and around this city as a prefer—
i able place to live while one or more 'members go regularly
to their work in the Bremerton Yard. Busses running by
Allyn and Hood Canal routes get the workers to and from
both day and night shifts with minimum loss of time.
Shelton’s answer to this appeal should be, “We’ll Keep
the Ships Fighting—and Live in Shelton.”
FLYING OVER SHELTON.
Nearly every day since the opening of the Shelton Air~
port residents have watched with fascination the graceful
gyrations of planes overhead. While they realize that this
Itraining is vital to the pilots there has been considerable
complaint over the fact that so much of this circling is
being done directly over the city. With so much open coun-
try surrounding the airport it would appear that in the
interest of safety to our citizens very little flying need be
done over Shelton.

Farm Butchers
l Get Quota Hint.
: The War Food Administration
lthis week reminded farmers that
,the recent temporary suspension
,’of livestock slaughter quotas docs
Inot permit unlimited slaughtering
‘by holders of “farm slaughterer”
‘ permits.
1 Farmers still remain subject to
lpcrmits issued by county USDA
iwar boards whereby owners of
llivestock may slaughter for sale
lor delivery not more than 10,000
ipounds live weight even though
lindividual quotas have been sus-
pended, explained Merritt A. Clev-
lenger, Regional Director of the
lFOOd Distribution Administration.
“A farmer may, without li-
‘cenSe or permit, slaughter live-
stock owned by him for home con-
lsumption or for consumption on
lthe premises by his resident or
Iseasonal employees," said Cleven-
l ger. “If however, he wishes to de-
lliver or sell any meat he must
,obtain a farm slaughterer permit
Jlwhich imposes a limitation of
.10,000 pounds live weight.
f “If a farmer wishes to slaugh-
lter for delivery more than 10,000
‘, pounds, he must apply to the FDA
Efor a class 2 license and must
[have adequate sanitary facilities
land facilities for the conservation
and preservation of by-products.”
Washington Co-op
Sells Bonds '
Application for buying War
Bonds are being carried to Wash-
ington farmers this week by the
truck drivers of the Washington
Co-operative Egg & Poultry As-
sociation who serve the Co-op’s
membership, according to Harry
J. Beernink, general manager of
the Association.
“The War Savings staff of the
Treasury Department advised us
that one of the most difficult‘
phases of the War Loan drive has
been to reach the farm people
individually with a message of the
importance of the value of pur-
chasing War Bonds as a means
of financing the present conflict,"
Beernink stated. "Our association
is glad to make our facilities
available as a means of assisting
our farm members to place their
bond subscriptions.”
'Drivers will distribute envelopes
this week prepared by the Treas—
ury Department containing
formation about the War Bonds
and application forms. Next week,
they will pick up the filled appli-
cations. Purchasers can attach
checks or direct the application
to their bank, as most convenient.

l Covered by the new ration order

50 or more tons of coal in less.
than carload lots, or 50 or more
I cords of firewood.
Coal dealers do not register im-
mediately but all coal dealers

plete registration will be issued!
shortly. Firewood dealers already
registered need not register again
unless they also handle coal.
I Under the new ration order
dealers in each community are re—
quired to spread available supplies
of coal and wood fairly among
consumers in the following pri-
ority order:
Priority Order
1. Consumers who need coal or
firewood for other than heat, dom-
estic hot water or cooking—that
is for industrial, commercial or
agricultural purposes to keep op-
erations rolling—may obtain alll
they need for a full season, but
no more.
2. Consumers who need coal or
wood for heat, hot water, or dom—
estic cooking (except those who
use fuel oil, gas or electricity pri-
marily) and whose fuel on hand,
Mth wood and coal, is less than
one-fourth of their annual fuel
needs, may buy enough to bring
their supply up to one-fourth.
3. Domestic consumers who
have one-fourth or more but less
than one-half of their annual
needs may order up to one—half.
4. Consumers who have one—half
or more, but less than full needs,
may order up to their annuall
needs; and last
5. Consumers who need coal or
‘ firewood but who use fuel oil, gas
or electricity primarily, may pur-
chase enough to bring their total
supply up to their annual needs.
No consumer may obtain more
than his annual needs.
The consumer, in ordering coal
or firewood, must give his dealer
the following information which
will determine his Apriority rat-
ing: the amount of wood and coal
on hand and the amount needed
for the year. This must be con-
firmed in writing within seven
days after ordering. Domestic
{consumers are not allowed to or-
der from more than one dealer
Eat a time, and must take delivery
.when they can get it. I
To help coal dealers on trans-
portation and delivery problems,
the new ration order permits
dealers to make a single delivery
of a full load of coal or portion]
of a load even though it would
lbring the consumer’s supply to
more than his allowable amount,
provided it is not more than 11/2
tons in excess of the allowable
amount.
“The order has been reduced to
the simplest possible terms, both
for consumers and dealers," Day
said. “It’s primary purpose is to
assure that there is coal in thel
basement of every home accord-
ing to its need—and that war and I
industrial plants are kept rolling
this winter—by the fairest pos-
Isibl'e distribution of the available
‘supply of coal.”
Grapeview Card
Party Held Sat.
A card party was held Saturday
evening at the school house. There
was also an exhibit of work done
