The most fragile member of the traffic stream Is the person on foot. In any €ol- lision lth a motor cal., the pedestrian comes out second best. Last year over one third of aH victims of fatal traffic o accidents were pedestrians. To reduce t r a f f i e fatalities on streets and highways you are asked to obsewe pedestrian safety rules and regulations. Pictured above you'H find them simple and easy to remember.

John drew the plans for the building at Third and Cots which will house his new store and be- cause of that fact the progress of its construction was undoubtedly made much more interesting tilan if someone else had drawn the plans. "The construction crew prob- ably thought I was the nosiest old so-and-so they'd ever worked for," John laughed one" day last week as the final touches were being put on the structure by the build- ors, "but the fact is I was just so keenly interested in watching my ideas take form that I paid a lot closer attention to the work than I would have otherwise." Incidentally, Dotson had the highest of praise for the work of the men wl|ose hands, heads and cfforta shaped his new building, complimenting them as the most efficient and capable crew he had seen in recent years. The work l was under contract to l'hos. i Steenson. ,,, ,, ,,, t The G.I. bill of rights education I privileges have been used for ac- cluiring many types of knowledge' )Jy ex-servicemen, but probably one of the less frequently utilized; vocations was that of learning to become an undertaker. One Shelton serviceman, how- ever, chose that line and now is back home putting wtmt he learned in school to practical use. He s Bill Btatone, who joined the staff of the Witsiers Funeral Home recently after completing a morticians and embalmers course in Ohio.   One doesn't have to be much of an oldtimer in this community t.o remember when Bruce Wilcox was advertising manager for the Lumbermen's Mercantile, later founder and operator of the var- iety store which Frank Markham now owns and runs, so the many Sheltonians who knew Wilcox will be interested to know he realized i an ambition of many years stand- ing on August I when he opened a fine new dry goods and apparel store at Baldwin Park, Calif, A copy of the Baldwin Park Tribune, which Wilcox sent to E. B. Spring, Shelton accountant, carries a front page picture of the new Wilcox store with an un- der-caption stating that the "open- ing drew many hundreds of visit- ors from Baldwin Park, West Co- vine, Covina and other neighbor- ing communities." t(: :!t :It Dorothy Kidd, bookkeeper and office clerk at the Mell Clmvrolet company, has a pretty good idea of the handicap a person minus one arm or hand is under. Sev- eral weeks ago she tumbled off a bicycle and broke the wris¢ of her left arm. so has been doing her duties with just half the usual physical facilities for typing, punching an adding machine, etc. The cast was removed late last week, however', and :Miss Kidd is back to full efficiency again. Shelton Valley sentcd at the Western Wahington Fair at Puyallup. A U of the Slat- ors were there on different days, Mary Ann and Hewitt going on Saturday with the Hiesters, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Cooke on Wednes- day, Walter Cooke and Chas. Cooke and Mr. and Mrs. Hackerd went on Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Baker attended the fair on one of the first days. There may have been other who went from our valley but did not let us know about it. At Grange last Thursday, ten Grangers and two visitors were present. The visitors were Mr. and Mrs. Steve Biers, l!ttle daugh- ter, and Mrs. Kneeland s grandson, Edward, Who spent a few days on the Highlands last week, Miss Peggie Slater came home from Tacoma last Saturday where she had been working, flack Cramer aeompanied her and spen the week end with the Slaters. Miss Betty Slater left last Sun- day for Seattle to enter the U. of W. Mrs. Ann Lund of Benton City, Wash., left last Saturday for Bremerton where she will visit with Mr. Lund's brother's family before going home to Benton City. Mrs. Lurid has been visiting with the Highland folks for the past ten days. The place in Shelton Valley for- merly known as "Echo Ranch" and now run by Hackerd and Northover, was in the notes last week mentioned by that name. We should have saidformerly known by that name. Mrs. Wayne Glover, Mrs. Lund and Signe Eneeland attended the party given by Mrs. Ralph Paul- son at their home. The party turned out to be a. shower fr .the SOilseths. Many nice and useful gifts were received by Mrs. Ruth Spilseth. The shower seemed to be a complete surprise to her. Twenty in all were invited. Those who were not able to attend sent their gifts. Mr. and :Mrs. C. C. Smith and Mr. and Mrs. Harry V[cConkey stopped in at the Highlands Sun- day evening. The Grange Hall will again be open this Saturday night to those who want to come and enjoy a few minutes of relaxation. Bring a little for lunch, please.
