VOL. 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.

State Forecast by Speaker
Fire Fighters .
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.

, and scholarship, and the snug»
Prof. Angelo Pellegrini, one of
the four speakers on the Com—
munity Forum of the State Uni-
versity, was guest of the Kiwan-
is Club Tuesday noon, and also be-
fore the high school seniors,
speaking on the topic “Are the
Italians Ready for a Democratic
State,” and furnishing an inform-
ative half hour. 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

in Holland, died in an army hos-
pital on September 24 from his

City Budget
Is Published
This Week
Through an error it was stat-
ed in the Journal two weeks
ago that the proposed city bud-
get if carried would bring
about salary raises for all
groups of. city employees. 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.

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. ' ,

board conciliator Saturday failed

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. The drive will continue un-
to get up steam in the plant suf- til the $5,145 q
ficient to resume operations.
The Simpson company is en-
gaged in the manufacture of ply-
WOod to fill army and navy con-

of some 1,170,000 feet of plywood
and 18,000 doors to the war ef-
fort.

BABY DAUGHTER
A baby daughter arrived at the

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

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-
