The Stretch Island wineries, in- cluding St. Charles Winery and Stretch Island Winery, were hit- ting full production yesterday fol- lowing the start of picking over the week-end. The Island Belle Grape Juice company was pressing Juice also, after starting iL harvest a week ago yesterday. On Harstine Is- land, the harvest had begun over the week-end also, Rudy Wcrberg- er, of the Werberger Winery, re- ported. Harvest Early The harvest is exceptionally ear- ly this year, and because of the early ripening of the grapes, the quality of the fruit is excellent.

He attributed the fine quality to the warm weather of the past week, ideal weather for ripening the fruit. A sidelight of the situation was revealed, however, in the fact that the wineries are pressing some- what less than usual, and the juice factories are accordingly expect- ing to increase production some- what. California Hits Hard The wineries have been hard hit by the influx of California Wines, which due to state-subsidized pro- motion and nation-wide radio and newspaper advertising campa!s are seriously affecting the market for the high quality Washington wines. A bad situation in the Washing- 'ton liquor control board require- ment for Washington wine also was blamed for causing some of the recession in local wine busi- ness. The grape crop this year will run about 500 tons on Stretch Island, and n estimated 100 tons on Harstine, a survey showed. Outstanding Wine Tle sugar content and excep-' tional flavor of the fruit this year will mean outstanding wines will ,be pressed this year, as well as grape juice that will be better than ever. The grape industry: is the sec- ond largest in Mason county and boundary held at Lake Cres- cent last week concluded af- ter volumes: of testimony had been presented by various groups interested. The general summary'can be divided into two sections, state- ments supporting the two bills now before the committee which recommended the reduction• and consolidation of the park boundar- ies, and the opposition to change expressed by conservationists and others. Such groups as ne Port An- geles Chamber of Commerce, Grays Harbor Industries, Inc., Peninsula Plywood, and the West Coast Lumbermen's association favored reduction of the park by some 56,000 acres, and also the establishment of a boundary com- mission to determine the best lo- cation for the park limits. Many other witnesses, including naturalist - photographer H e r b Crisler, and Mrs. Crisler, Ted Lloyd, representing the Washing- ton State Grange, Harry W. HiSS- man, representing the Seattle Au- dubon Society and Mrs. Kathryn Montgomery, representing t h e chairman of the National Censer, ration society, spoke feelingly op- posing the reduction in park area. The hearing was closed Wed- nesday afternoon, and the mem- bers of the congressiontl commit- tee journeyed to Aberdeen where they were dinner guests of Grays Harbor citizens interested in the boundary dispute, then later left for California.

The meeting, a dinner session held at Colonial House, was pre- "sided over by President Werberger and was attended by H. L. Had- sell, Lawrence Carlson, Joe Hart- sen, R. W. Oltman, Vern Miller, Oscar Levin and W. L. Jessup. A report by Treasurer Joe Hart- sen of the festival's finances showed that the big public demon- stration had just about broken even with receipts of $3,518.85, coupled with $817.41 used to de- fray $4312.88 in expenses for the 1947 show. A small balance is still owing on several bills that have not been submitted, but a very small de- ficit for the big undertaking is expected to result. A group discussion on last year's festival brouglt out several suggestions for improvement of the 1948 Festival and it was the opinion of all present that the annual Kids pet parade be made a separate feature and not be in- cluded in the festival program, allowing for more concentration on the main Festival procession, The banquet honoring the Queen will also be eliminated at th'e 1948 event, but consideration will be given to a two-night presentation of the big pageant. Steps are to be taken at once to start immediate preparation for the big pageant script and as in the past (he show will be prc- sented by children of Shelton and Mason county schools. _4. committee has been named and will meet next Wednesday noon at Irene S. Reed high school to make plans and arrangements for the method of fund raising for the 1948 Festival. New officers of the Mason County Forest Festival association will be named at the annual meet- ing in January, but the features of the "Keep Washington Green" movement in Mason county shall be continued on an ever increasing scale, attracting thousands of peo- ple from outside points to enjoy the community's annual celebra- tion.

Kump, himself was cut and re- 'ceived several painful bruises, as did the other members of the par- ty, including Alvin Johnson, who was driving, and Mrs. Brekke. The barber reported that the accident was unavoidable, and that the auto which smashed into the side of his machine had a de- fective brake which is believed caused it to swerve into the wrong lane. Kump's auto was traveling east on U.S. Highway 10, and the car driven by Clementa B. Barilla, :Billings, was traveling west. The other machine traveled 184 feet before stopping, and crossed the highway into the right-hand ditch, then recrossed hto the left- hand ditch and came to rest at right angles to the road.

Shelton Census Reveals Drop in City Population ' Shelton is shrinking, according to the final tabulation of the lat- est census completed yesterday. A count of the city's citizens in February Of last year indicated there were about 4,400 residents of the town, while there are now bnly about 4,200 living here, City Commissioner Reg Sykes said. The census was believed to be complete with many families who had not been contacted by census teams phoning their information to city hall in the last week. It was hoped that an increase in population would be found here since many new districts have been taken into'the city's fold in the last year-and-a-half, Sykes point- ed out. The Shelton share of state funds allotted to the cities will be de- creased by nearly 20 per cent tis year according to an estimate fi'om the Washington Association of Cities, and the drop in per cap- ita funds was expected to be off- set somewhat by an expected in- crease in population here. City Commission Short Handed; Little Action The' City Commission did little business at its regular Tuesday meeting since Commissioner Roy Kimbel was out of town. Mayor F. A. Travis, and Com- missioner Rcg Sykes announced the appointment of C. Hem'y Ba- con, Jr., as a new member of the Shelton Library board. No action was taken on the Catholic School building permit, since the request had been tabled at the previous meeting at the re- quest of Khnbel, who deslrcd to etudy the prop6sal further, Tuesday. Of the cases which were heard, one remflted in a "hung" jury, and a verdict favorable to the defend ant was returned by the jury in the other case. "hung" jury resulted in the actiobrought by H. L. Alexander I agairt Robert Springer. The jury took the case at 4:06 p.m. Septem- ber 19, with the stipulation that if no verdict had been reached by 9 p.m., 'the jury would be declared "hung." The jury returned a favorable verdict in the action brought by Steye Jaletich against the State Department of Labor aud Indus- tries, September 16. In returning answers to two in- tcrroga.tories put to them by Judge D. F. Wright, the jury mem- bers found that the 16 per cent disability allowed Jaletich by the Labor and Industries department was not enough, and recommend- ed an increase in disability allow- ance of 11 per cent, for an injury incurred while working for Simp- son Logging company in May, :1942. Other cases scheduled to he heard were: H. J. Maury vs. E. W. Johnson, September 17--set- tled out of court; A. M.
