LVIII—NO. 42 E. Mead, wounded in Highclimbers St. Martin’s In 0-0 Tie With victory still eluding their grasping fingers the Shelton Highclimbers came out of their game with St. Martins last Fri- day with a 0 to 0 game in a tussle which saw the ’Climbers knock on the goal line on several occasions. Once in the fourth quarter Shel- ton advanced to the one and a half yard line with two downs to go but a pass to the flat lost five yards and another” pass over the middle fell incomplete. Again in the fourth quarter another pass was completed to Jack Beckwith, who raced down to the one-yard line. He fumbled when tackled and the ball went over the goal line and out of bounds for a touchback. Shelton dominated the game from the start and played fine defensive ball as St. Martins fail- ed to even get past the midfield stripe. Shelton’s offense clicked on several occasions but the lo— cals lacked a sustained drive to carry them down to a score. Beckwith Returns ’I_‘_l_le hrgturn -of Jack Beckwith, veteran wingman greatly‘ helped the club, with the rangy senior playing one of the best games of his career. Harold Wilson, play- ing his first game at end, also looked good tho he needs plenty of work at this position. The mid- dle of the line proved a stone wall with Berg, Adams, Bergerson and Compton stopping every thrust. In the backfield Daviscourt looked particularly good on a couple of long runs and Howard and Howarth also played well.. Beanie Daniels, veteran quarter- back was hurt early in the third quarter and had to remain out of play for the rest of the game. (Continued on Page Six) T.-B. League Will Meet on Tuesday An important meeting 'of the Mason County Tuberculosis Lea- gue wil be held Tuesday, October 24 at the Shelton Hotel.

Realism Causes Stir Locally In an exhibition so realistic that several local residents scampered upstairs in the L.M. building to give warning, the Shelton fire department, State forestry department and Naval air station fire crew collabor- ated in a make-believe fire call to the L.M. store. Fire crews responded with amazing quickness and the situ— ation was well in hand in a remarkably short time. The Naval crew was delayed because of the failure of the gate officer to relay the message quickly, but when they did arrive they had an imaginary stream of water playing on the fire with- in 31 seconds. The demonstration was the climax to Fire Prevention Week which saw some very worth- while educational efforts put on by Fire Chief T. D. \Deer and District Fire Warden Harry Clark. New Lights in Lincoln School Installation of fluorescent light- ing in rooms at the Lincoln grade school has been nearly completed, Principal Richard Hudson report- ed last week. Only two rooms will have the old lighting and those will be changed as soon as equip,- ment is available. An examination by a Journal representative disclosed a consid- erable improvement through the installation of the new fluorescent units. In the two rooms with the old type lights, the children were working with shadows cast on their desks and a glare on the blackboard. With the fluorescent lights all shadows and glare are eliminated and the rooms are much brighter in addition. High School Band Will Play at Rally In their first public appearance 0f the year the local high school band will play at the Republican Rally to be held at the Graham Theatre next Wednesday evening.

Dr. Pellegrini is a native of Italy, but; coming here as a youth, gained his education at Elma and Harbor schools and finished at the University of Washington where he is on the faculty. Opening the subject the speak- er detailed some talks with two Italians, one coming here legally, the other jumping from a ship rather than go back to Italy un- der conditions under Mussolini, and they both spoke of intoler- able conditions under the dictator- ship of Mussolini which they lik- ened to the worst of gangsterism. Expansion Move Backed By, Chamber City affairs made up the main discussion at the Chamber of Commerce meeting Thursday eve- ning, with post war expansion needs of Shelton and the proposed new form of commission govern- ment brought up and explained, and. because of the limited time the need for getting the public informed in time for a special election to pass on the two mat- ters. ‘» A Councilman Needham reported that the, city council had been discussing both inclusion of out- lying districts within the city lim- its and also change from coucil- manic to commission form of gov- ernment fOr some time and the members were convinced that both were progressive moves. LoWer Rate . It was pointed out that insur- ance rates are higher outside city limits for lack of fire protection, which would about offset the 5- mill tax cost, which this year is 15 mills in the city, as against ten mills for county road taxes. On the other hand the city brings police protection and furnishes fire protection in emergencies but in doing so endangers the rates for the entire city‘when appara- tus makes a. run as it has been doing. It also makes possible improve— ment for water, sewers and streets in the added districts, and would increase the city’s credit based on an estimated population of 5,000 and bring in more money for street, police and city purposes from gas, liquor and excess pop- ulation cuts from state funds of around $8,000 to be shared with newly admitted districts. As this is new matter to most citizens a mass meeting was sug— gested in which the question could be discussed pro and con, for to After 20 years of iron rule a spirit be admitted the VOters in eaCh of revenge against oppressors has risen in Italy, which left them no spirit to fight, and accounted for their poor showing in the several wars into which Mussolini forced them.

Actu- ally the budget only provides funds for the raising of salar- ies should the next city council so desire. ' The entire city budget is car- ried on page 10 of this week's Journal where it may be exam- ined by all those interested. As compared with last year’s record budget of $181,182.00 this year’s budget shows a drop to $133,987.50 which is reflect- ed in the lowering of the tax burden from 171/; mills in 1944 to 15.8 mills in 1945. OPA to Handle Truck Gasoline The Office of Price Adminis- tration has broadened its gasoline rationing program effective Octo- ber 16, to take over part of the work heretofore handled by the Pany Plant there had W31k8d Ollt Office of Defense Transportation. last Friday in a dispute over an alleged contract breach. Workers left the plant without a strike vote at 11 o'clock Friday morning after the Simpson com- pany allegedly had replaced a. plant foreman with a non-union man, a union official stated; Simpson officials claimed to- day, however, that the foreman had been retained in the same department in which he had been employed and at the same rate of pay, the only difference being that some of the machinery in his depa tment was moved into another apartment and a non- union man placed in charge of it. The company holds that. its contract does not give the union jurisdiction over foremen, and that, therefore, the contract had not been breached. ' , Conciliation Fails . One meeting with a war labor board conciliator Saturday failed to bring agreement, and another hearing was scheduled for yes- terday. It was pointed that eVen though an agreement were reach- All operators of commercial ve- hicles requiring certificates of war necessity will be affected—— such as busses, trucks and taxi- cabs. The change is expected to im- prove service and be more con- Ivenient for commercial operators, who now will have 70 local OPA boards thruout the 19 Western and Central Washington counties in this OPA district, as compar- ed with one district and two field offices of ODT. l‘War Fund Drive 0 Is Progressmg With‘ the neighboring city of Montesano having been the first in the state to fill its quota for the “National War Fund Drive, lo— cal people are urged to make their donations so that Shelton may complete its quota. also. All captains are urged to com- plete.their rounds and turn in their money as quickly as pos- ed this week it would take a day 1 sible.

Expansion of the Shelton city limits to include the large num- ber of residents in the areas di- rectly adjacent to the city is the result which the city affairs com- mittee of the Chamber of Com- merce hopes to accomplish thru a. proposed plan just launched. With the cooperation of the Shelton Active Club, the Cham- ber hopes to bring about a special city election which woulddeter- mine whether the people of the city and of the districts which the city would like to annex, would be willing to become a part of greater Shelton. At a meeting of the committee held last Friday evening it was decided to go forward with the program as speedily as possible and tentative boundaries were laid for the four districts which the committee plans to present to the voters for approval. Petition Needed According to Charles R. Lewis, city attorney, the first step in the proposed plan will be the distribu- tion of petitions requiring the sig— natures of one-fifth of the voters at the last city election. Then a special election will be held and the proposition must be passed by both the voters of the city and the voters of each district desig- nated to be taken into the city. It has been announced that Mayor J. L. Catto will call a special mass meeting on Tues- day, October 24 for the purpose of giving all parties concerned a. chance to voice their opinions. Members of the Chamber of Commerce committee pointed out that people in the outlying dis- tricts would receive a number of benefits which would more than outweigh the slight increase in taxes. The taxation difference would only amount to the differ- ence between the county 10-min (Continued on page 8) Shelton Navy Team Drops Game Shelton’s Naval Air Station gridiron aggregation took another one on the chin last Sunday, dropping a 13 to 0 beating from the strong Seattle Coast Guard club. Shelton has now played the two strongest clubs in the North- west Service League, Seattle and Port Angeles Coast Guard, and has given a good account in both games. A bad pass from center lead to the first Seattle score in the first five minutes of the game. The locals threatened through the aerial route on several oc- casions but lacked the punch to score. Kills Pet Deer At Matlock An applicant for the title of the state’s meanest hunter was found at Maldock last week when some over-zealous nim- rod killed a. pet deer belonging to Mrs. Sophus Jacobson of that community. The deer, which had been owned by Mrs. Jacobson for the past 13 years, and had been potted and loved by a. genera- tion of children in the com- munity, was kept in a. large pen across the road from the Jacobson home. According to evidence found at the scene, the culprit cut a. hole in the fence, enticed the deer, which was. very friendly, over to the hole, dragged him through and then cut the deer's throat and made off with th carcass in his car. l Many Attend BOrdeaux P.-T.A. Meet; School Heads Speak of Problems Nearly 80 mothers and fathers Were present Thursday at Bor- deaux Parent-Teachers Associa— tion’s first evening meeting of the season. Indications were that everyone enjoyed the meeting and its well balanced program. Music was the principle feature of entertainment. Group singing of “America” started the affair. Mrs. Hazel Townsend, fourth grade teacher, lead, with Mrs. Earl Jordan accompanying at the piano. Two piano solos were presented by nine-year-old Katherine Jor- dan. They were “The Swallow," Burgmuller, and “Minuet in G”, Bach. Twelve-year-old Alan Brumbaugh played two violin so- los; Schubert’s Serenade, and Bee- thoven’s Minuet in G. Piano ac- companist was Mrs. Jordan. Speaker of the evening was Ot- to Nelson of the State Department of Education. Subject of his ad- dress was “Equality in Educa— tion.” R. W. Oltman, superintendent of city schools, was introduced and talked briefly on problems and policies of the local system. Richard Hudson, principal at Bordeaux, was presented and out- lined a. few highlights of plans he and his teachers hope to insti- tute at the school. Both men indicated a desire for parental understanding and cooperation in furthering school interests. They expressed the hope that parents would avail themselves of opportunities to get better acquainted with the peo- ple responsible for educational practices. Hearty approval of evening meetings, which enables fathers to attend, as well as mothers, was given by both the superin- tendent and principal. Lynn Sherwood, supervisor of music in the schools, explained his plan for making available to younger students public instruc- tion in band and orchestra instru- ments. He urged cooperation from parents in encouraging youngsters to take advantage of this early opportunity to study some instrument. Resignation of the vice-presi— dent, Mrs. Irving Angove, was accepted. Mrs. Glen Edgley was nominated to the office. No other nominations being made, the sec- retary was instructed to cast the unanimous ballot for Mrs. Edg- le . 3Another matter of business was the unanimous vote of the Bor- deaux chapter to contribute to the Community Chest War Fund (Continued on page two)
