Bayley Home
Complete
Loss By Fire
The Alden C. Bayley home on
Hood Canal near Union was com-
pletely destroyed by fire of un-
known origin late Tuesday after-
noon. 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

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.

son County Forest Festival As-
sociation, were filed this week

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.

Chairman Rudy Werberger and

What's Wrong with This Picture?
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.
When a sport endangers human
lives, it ceases to be "sporting."

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.

that is hoped will see all three
war service veterans of the Shel-
ton school system again employed
here at the start of the next
school terns, is believed to have
been effected by members of the
Shelton board, the three teactmrs
themselves, and a representative
of the V.F.W. post at a meeting
held Friday night.
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.
