Box 101, Shelton II i B SHELTON - MASON Mustard Madcaps At Junior High Sell Hot Doggies By Gary Stewart Shelton Junior High students have been selling hot dogs in or- der to earn money for new foot- ball uniforms. At the first foot- ball game everything went off with a big bang, especially when Gary Stewart fell in an eight foot hole with a load of buns which went flying everywhere. Picking the good ones up, we started to walk ove] to where we were making the h6t dogs. Roger Salisbury was busily working away at the buns.

Salisbury stuck a knife into the mustard and splatted it all over the hot dogs. There was roughly 20 per cent hot dog, 30 per cent buns and 50 per cent mustard. After we got the napkins on there was so much mustard that we had soggy napkins and the wether tasted like hot papers stuffed with pancake batter. Le- roy Shelton would open the cokes and put them on the table all ready for the half. Salisbury would drop some of the mustard in the cokes and claimed it added to the flavor. Bob Ristine came down all dressed up and ready for the dance. When Coach Ray Pa- trick spotted him at the half Ristine was splattered with mus- tard and looking very busy• WAYNE HAVENS opened some cokes and paraded up and down l the steps calling, "Hot dogs here!" He started to give a customer a hot dog when someone hit him and spilled the cokes all over the buns• After the boy had put'chas- ed his hot dog, Wayne went ar- ound yelling, "Get your Coney Is- land soggy dogs!" It all came out well. We got $45 toward out" new football suits.

Through a Board of Trustees, comprised of farmers and elected by members from various districts of the state, the basic policies of the Washington Co-Op are determined in the interest of farmer-members and their customers. Therefore, the Washington Co-Op member does not work alone. He keeps his independence as an individual.preserves his own family farm--yet benefiu by the experience and help o( others.: I[ you are not enjoyi#g the ¢dvamages o/co-@era- tire thinking, inquire at your nearest 1Vashinglon Co.Op Station how you can become a membvr, COUNTY 30URNAI5 CURRENCY DEVALUATION--A CLOUD [NATIONAL GUARD OVER AN INDUSTRY [TO HOLD DANCE I A dance invitation to young Editor Albert N. %Vilson of Miller Frceman's trade magazine, ]' couples in Shelton and surround- "Pulp and Paper," points out the dangers that are inherent to the / ins communities has been issued paper pulp aml rayon pal I ) industry by the recent devaluation of by Shelton's Battery B of the Na- several European currencies. According to the editorial in "Pulp tional Guard. The dance will be held at the Artillery Club at Shel- and Paper" the whole future of the American industry is in the hands ton Airport, starting at 9 p.m. of the Scandinavian 4ntercsts. Currency devaluation in Europe has placed in the hands of the Scandinavian nations the power to destroy or at least to seriously cripple some of the most important segments of the North American forest industries. To what extent the Scandinavian nations use this power remains to be seen. m British socialism and policy men of the U. S. State and Treasury Departments cannot issue any "white papers" to blot out their responsi- bility for this grave turn of affairs. Now if history repeats itself, which it has a way of doing, the outlook is verblack indeed for those particular segments of the North American forest industries which: 1. Have done the very most of all in reforestation. 2. Are among the most vital of all national defense plants. • 3. I-ve done the most to stabilize hundreds of thousands of jobs of mill and forest workers. 4. Have built up scores of the happiest, healthiest industrial com- munities of all Industrial America. We arc speaking principally of the great market paper and rayon pulp industries created in the past quarter century in Ameri- ca, and also of those scores of "integrated" paper companies, so- called because they have had the foresight to build up their own wood and pulp resources. If the European producer takes all the advantage offered by dcvahmtion, he can now dump his pulp m the U.S. market at 40% off, and 30% below the lesser devaluation of the Canadian producer. Canadian producers also are in a position to demoralize the U. S. market. But the few who might be tempted, should look over their shoulder to the Scandinavians, who can wreck them in turn• It just takes one to start the cutthroat game, and Ca, nadians and Americans would both be the losers. And the foresight and planning of the integrated mills becomes bitter gall to them if pulp comes in so cheap as to make it unecon- omic to develop their own resources. The critical question today is how much pulp has Europe to spare --. how deep will they cut their forests? We know, for instance, Russia has been taking much of Finland's pulp and wood. Would Russia be apt to release that now, if it meant disaster for these U.S. industries ? What do you think ? In recent years the No. 1 "goat" or "guinea pig" in creating the greatest increase in foreign dollars of any industry is this one. No other industry has given so much to implement the philosophy of economic internationalism of our State Department: in effect, these forest industries have been used to subsidize automobile and other industries. And now they are to be the principal "goat" again. And yet when war' came and the submarines blocked off the sea lanes, we learned to our dismay, that we had to have our own as well as Canada's pulp and paper mills in full production to Win a war. Too late, our governntent tried to freeze labor in the woods and mills. Every product the mills could make--fron/ nitrating pulp to fire guns, and V-paperboard boxes to ship goods overseas, to the paper used for propaganda and a general's war map--was needed critically• Market pulp and integrated mills both stand to bear the brunt of the blows that may fall as a result of devaluation--from the great lraft mills of the Southern pine belt and the biggest white paper mills of the East and Midwest to the huge marke pulp mills of the Fr West• Let us, however, single out the state of Washington as poten- tially the most horrible example of what may happen. Producing over 2,000,000 tons of pulp, more than 1/6 of the nation's total, it is the greatest pulp state in the union. It markets over 750,000 tons some Washington state pulp going to virtually every paper mill and every rayon and cellophane plant in America. Four of these big Washington state mills during the war made virtually all the nitrating pulp the U.S. army used to fire nearly all of its ffledium and large caliber guns! But when devaluation came over a decade ago, two of the Washington mills were shut down; several others ran at 50% and at less, and kept skeleton crews on at a loss to help pay the grocery bills of employes. Luckily, that time they survived, and now they pay an average wage of $1.76 an hour--35 cents higher than any other U.S. mills and much higher than anywhere else in the world. Their woods workers, too, are in this r'n'ified financial atmosphere as wage earn- ers. Ironically, on the very day devaluation in Europe burst upon their world, these mill workers were asking further wage increases or equivalent concessions. Last year Washington state produced 25% of the market pulp for the U.S., and Scandinavia produced about 17%. Canada pro- duced about 40%. Last year Scandinavia shipped only 575,000 tons here, at a time when pulp was in high demand and inflation was active, and extracted a price 40% to 50% higher than American or Canadian producers. But back in 1937, Scandinavia shipped 15. mil- lion tons after devaluatiou. If it happens again who will come forth with a "Marshall Plan" for our most important forest industries? Deer Classed As Bread and Butter Of Game Hunting In the state of Waslington, deer are the "bread and butter" of big game htmting; a fact generally true throughout the United States, the recently issued biennial report of the gme department states. ,The report continues: "Although the deer in this state are classi- fied scientifically as belonging to only two species, there are actually four distinct varieties of which' mute deer are the largest. Found in nearly all forested areas of Eastern Washington, they are most pleriful on the eastern slopes of the Cascade Mountains, and they thrive on the semi-arid forest or sagebrush areas. Black-tail on West Slope "Black-tailed deer are closely related to the mule deer and are classified as a sub-specie of their group," the report continues. "They readily intcrbreed with mule deer where the ranges over- lap, and animals found in parts of Yakima and Kittitas counties are a mixture of mule deer and black- tailed groups. Generally, black- tailed deer are found in the humid slopes of Westcrn Wasbington, bu thctr range extends through the Columbia River gorge, to the e[st side of Skamania and Klicktta counties and a little into Yakima county. "Eastern, or'Pend Oreillc white- tailed deer, arc found in the three northeast counties of the state, generally in the region north o Spokajle, Their large populations are cast of the Columbia River, althongh a few of their nulnDers range as fat" west as the okanogan River.
