in Skokomish Valley, where the State Game Department will raise
several species of trout fer release in Mason County and other

Grapes Flow
Like Wine As
Harvest Rolls
Thousands of rich, purple
grapes were pouring into the
wineries and grape juice fac-
tories in Mason county this
week as the fruit harvest hit
its stride.
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.
Growers were unanimous in their

tically all living in Shelton and Mason County, toward corn- spring hatchery will be the big- the two dams which will supply merit representatives i provided happen to one of the sources.

berries this year.
: "Finest grapes I've ever seen,"
Charles Somers, owner of St.
Charles Winery, reported Tues-
day evening. 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.

General Chairman Rudy Wer-
berger Monday to discuss the
last festival and prepare their
recommendations for next
year. ';.
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.

his vacation trip to Aberdeen, S.
Dak., when his new automobile
was completely demolished in an
accident near Billings, Mont., Sept.

a week's treatment.

'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.
The new Pontiac driven by
Johnson received a completely
smashed left side, a sprung frame,
a broken rear axle and two punc-
tures in the rear of the body,

Claude Havens reported yesterday.
The decoration was awarded
posthumously to the son of Pc-
'lice Chief "and Mrs. Havens, Wil-
liam F, Havens, who was killed
during the bitter Ploesta oilfield
raid in Rumania August 1, 1943.
Lieutenant Havens was a lead
bombardier in the raid, and only
two of the crew members on his
bomber survived the flight which
took the heaviest casualties of any
air raid by American forces in
the war.
The Military Cross was awarded
on February 6, 1947, for "luving
drivtm off enemy planes with
great dispatch and heroism In be-
half of the liberation of Greece,"
according to the accompanying
diplomas which was translated
from the Greek language.
The medal and citation were re-
ceived from the Greek Military
attache in Washington, and the
diploma was signed by O. Tsatsas,
Greek Air Minister.
The decoration was entered in
the record of Lieutenant Havens in
the U. S. Army, according to a
letter accompanying the award
which was signed by Adjutant
General Edward F. Witseli of the
U. S. Army.
Other decgrations given the
Havens' son:hnclude a Distin-
guished Flyifig Cross, an Air Med-
al with four oak clusters, and a*
Purple Heart.
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. Drown
vs. Chris Handley, September 18
--withdrawn at the request of the
plaintiff, and Wesley Rau vs. Roy
Robertson, September 22---settled:
out of court.
The eviction case brought by
Waiter George against Hazel Tif-
fany was concluded about noon
yesterday with a jury verdict in
favor of the defendant.
A motion for a new trial was
filed by George's attorney, and the
case will be set for the next jury
term.
A damage case brought b Jos-
eph M. Arrants against the orm-
ern Pacific Railroad was begun
yesterday and slated to continue
for the rest of the week.

JC's Plan New
Air Show, Talk
Of Youth Center
A bigger and better air show is
in the wind for next year, accord-
ing to plans being made now by
the newly appointed Air Show
Committee of the Shelton Junior
Chamber of Commerce.
The new committee, headed by
Flier Bob Weaver, and including
ten Tiffany, Start Parker, John-
ny Stevenson, Ray Vrahnos, Earl
Johnson, Jack Jeffrey and Will
Fader, will eliminate many of the
bottlenecks which were discovered
at the first show this spring.
The Air Show Committee was
named at the regular fortnightly
meeting of the Jaycee group Tues-
day evening at the Colonial House.
Revamp Committees
Other committees working on the
vital new Youth-Civic Center pro-
ject have been revamped to allow
the Jaycees most fitted for cer-
tain jobs to function at their best.
In charge, Dick Springgate was
named chairman of the promotion
subcommittee, replacing Carrel
McElroy, who was made chairmau
of *the Youth Activities sub-com-
mittee and has been working di-
rectly with the youngsters at the
high school in forming their new
youth organization.
No further action was taken by
the Jayeees as a body on the new
building project. Reports from the
sub-committee chairmen revealed
that foundation work is now in full
swing, and the final plan of action
and final building plans arc ex,
pected to be acted upon soon by
the group as a whole.
Contact Other=
Efforts are being made to con-
tact youth centers in: other parts
of the nation to obtain plans and
specifications as well as specific
information on the coat o main-
taining such a project.
By gathering statistics, the lo-
