The fire truck from Union responded as well as the truck from the state forestry depart- ment but nothing could be saved by the time they arrived. Mrs. Bayley lind been visiting next door when she saw the house in flames and she was never able to get back again to save any-. thing. Men on the truck of the for- estry department stated the fire appeared to start in the front of the house, as the kitchen was the last to burn, and thought it pos- sible the fire might have started between the walls, bursting out all at once. The adjoining home of A. E. Hillier was not damaged as was thought at first. Mrs. Valley, Pioneer, Dies Funeral services for Mrs. Ab- bie Valley, 82, pioneer Shelton resident, were held yesterday af- ternoon from Witsiers Funeral Home and burial will be in the Shelton Memorial Park alongside her husband, Joe, whose death oc- curred in January, 1943. Mrs. Valley's death occurred in Ellensburg Sunday evening, Octo- ber 6, just the day before her 83rd birthday. She had been mak- ing her home with her daughter, Mrs. E. M. Lawton, in Eilens- burg for the past four months and she had been confined to the SHELTON, WASHINGTON. Thursday, October 10, 1946. Crowded Rooms Prove I ,e New School Need Here Last week Tim Journal carried an article concerning the lvying of a 20 mill tax for the purpose of augmenting the local schools build- ing fund. Today's article will at- tempt to explain in more detail some facts about the present and expected enrollment, as well' as the facilities available and those needed. The Lincoln building has twelve regular classrooms, all of which are small in size. The maximum load in such a room should not be over thirty students if good work is expected. Tile total stu- dent load in the Lincoln school should not be over 360. The con- ditions as they actually exist are far different. An additional room was parti- tioned off in one corner of the basement. Although a little space was gained for class work, there was a serious loss of space for lunchroom and indoor play. At various times, three other rooms were added by constructing port- able buildings adjacent to the main stmlcture. This eased the room situation to some extent, but def- initely complicated the lavatory, play and lunchroom facilities to the point where satisfactory operation is out of the question. The entire picture becomes more confusing when the overcrowded enrollment is considered• The six- teen rooms should care for not more than 480 children if an aver- age of 30 to the room could be maintained.' An actual count shows a present enrollment of 600, or 120 more than the rooms should care for and at least 240 more than available lavatory, play and lunch space should accommodate. At the Bordeaux School a sim- ilar picture presents itself. The original building was planned for six rooms with a capacity of about Registration Drive Begun With both the Republicans and the Democrats agreed that all citizens who have not registered should do so, they have joined forces this week and started Mon- day a door-to-door campaign to register all unregistered otherwise qualified voters before the books close October 19.

Franklin Hous- ton. The organization is sponsor- ed by a group of 15 incorporators who will hold office for six months and flntil the association may be perfected, permanent officers el- ected and by-laws for conduct of the affairs of the group approved. Among the incorporators are found representatives of most or- ganizttions of thd county, the cross gedtion of community lead- rs being selected to broaden the ase of the organization, and to make the annual Festival a com- munity wide manifestation. The incorporators who met last week for luncheon at the' call of Chairman Rudy Werberger and approved the proposed incorpora- tion papers included: Joe Hanson, Winfield Scott, E. H. Faubert. Les Fields, Mrs. George Cropper, Cliff COllins, Oscar Levin, W. S. Nash, Horace Skelsey, Reginald Sykes, Herb Dickinson, Harry Clark, R. W. Oltman, Rudolph Werberger and W. L. Jessup.

One of two things: (l) The hunters are disregarding a common safety practice by shooting when there is another hunter in the line of fire, or (2) The hunters lack the visual ability to see the hunter beyond the deer. Hunting licenses are issued for the killing of game only! However, an estimated 500 huners are killed and 3,000 injured annually in the United States by fellow sportsmen! These deaths and injuries are classified as *'Accidental." We all know, however, that "Accidents Don't Happen-- They are CAUSED." And one of the major causes of these "accidents" is inefficienttvisionl Ac- cording to the Public Health Bureau of the American OIStometric 'Associa- tion, Inc., every hunter should have: 1. Clear Distance Vision 2. Adequate Field of Vision 3. Adequate Color Vision There is a penalty for killing game ou of season. No penalty can atone for killing man.

A complete line of men's ap- parel will be featured by the Mill- er's Men Shop, although some lines will not be available until spring, according to Mr. Miller. Carpentry Class Starting Monday Arne Johnson, manual arts in- structor in the high school, has scheduled the first meeting of the adult carpentry class for next Monday at the senior high school to orgmize. A fee of $5.00 will he charged for 12 weeks, two hours each week from 7:30 to 9:30 in the evenings. The evenings the class will meet will be decided Monday. Mr. JoHnson stated that anyone interested is invited to attend the classes regardless of experience. Projects of any type may be at- tempted and the lumber will be furnished at school prices. These classes have been con- ducted in the past and have been well attended by many people who have known nothing of car- pentry work before taking the course. Local 161 Non-Partisan, Backs No Candidates Through its president, Horace Skelsey, Local 161, I.B.P.S. & P. M.W., issued a statement this week announcing its non-partisan nature and that the organization has not endorsed or promised to upport any candidate for election o public office. "We do. however, urge every- one to register and maintain the right to vote," President Skclsey said.

Reemployment of the three teachers, who left their studies to Join the military forces mid who declined to return under con- ditions of employment offered them, can be accomplished with some further study by board members, they believe. Frank Willard is again em- ployed in the school system, un- der provisions of an offer made him by the board at the meet- ing. He will serve as vice princi- pal of the Junior high school. Wil- lard served as a captain in the United States army. His reem- ployment is declared entirely sat- isfactory. Homer Taylor and Walter Ha- kola, the other two teachers, the former now at Arlington and Ha- kola at Monroe, have expressed a desire to complete their pres- ent contracts, but are believed will be offered employment under satisfactory conditions w h e n chool is resumed in the fall. Board members are to make a study of their employment and will make suitable recommenda- tions, which are believed will be approved by the new school board. The three men are satisfied. with conditions which are propos- ed for their return to the Shelton school system, and the conference is believed to have resulted in agreement between all parties. Jack Gray, adjutant-quarter- master of Mason county Veterans of Foreign Wars organization, who headed a committee seeking settlement of the employment question, and demanding full rights for the veterans under .terms of the G. I. bill, praised highly the desire to reach a satis- factory settlement and the cooper- ative spirit of school board mem- bers throughout the discussions, The Veterans of Foreign Wars have interested themselves in the controversy since return of the men here, following their separa- tion from the service, and made an exhaustive survey of the situa- tion, results of their efforts re- suiting in the settlement that has been effected.

Mr. Dunoyier al- so was present. Oscar Moll presented further material iu support of tfls bid for furnishing parking meters to the city. The board is still studying the several parking meters for which bids have been submitted and no time for awarding a con- [tract has been set. L. L.
