! Grape Picking
gAbout Over
The grape growers have prob-
‘ably warped their hands perm-
.anently by keeping their fingers
lcrossed the last two weeks, but
[the good weather held out for
the greater part of the picking.
Last week a number of the 10—
cal club attended the meeting of
the District Federation of Wo-
men‘s Clubs. They report an ex-
cellent meeting and an enjoyable
day. Those attending were: Mrs.
‘ford, Mrs. L. Wren, Mrs. ch<
‘rietta Paynton. Mrs. P. A. Luther.
Our club has two of the district
'ofi‘icers, the president, Mrs. Pet-
erson. and corresponding secre-
.tary, Mrs. Wren.
Miss Hattie Barker left on Sat-
,urday for a week‘s visit with her
relatives in Seattle.

local Control of Our
P.U.D.lsAt Stoke
ovember 7th!
If we lose control of our local public utility
district . . ’. we'll be sorry?
And it Referendum 25 passes in the coming election, we'll
lose controt fast! Under this dangerous political power
measure,a "Joint Commission" made up of public utitity
districts outside our county can easily take over our power
property. We and our neighbors will have nothing to say
about it.
l
What’s more, we’ll have nothing to say trom then on as to the
rates we'll pay, the service we'tt get, the taxes we'll have to
meet,
the bond issue we will have to help pay!
Don’t put control of our‘P.U.D. in the hands of a tow power-hungry
bureaucrats—keep control at home where it belongs. Vote against
Referendum 25. p

date and of poor utility for a
school. It is hoped that replace—
ment can be made. as soon as
the. war is .OVer. An addition may
soon be necessary to the Junior
high school, for as the pupils of
the grades now overcrowd class-
rooms, so they will overflll the
already occupied Junior high
school.
“The great value of, and need
for athletic activities in the
schools has been amply proven,
.but we. are. now somewhat handi-
capped at present by several
lacks. The grandstand is of tem-
lporary construction and in poor
repair. Replacement of it by a
new and more adequate structure
will enable larger crowds to at-
tend the games played at the.
home field.
“For a number of years there
has been much interest in swim
classes during the summer, thanks
to several organizations, especial-
ly the Active Club. At one time
lthcre was strong sentiment for
inclusion of a swimming pool in
the new gym. The directors are
reliably informed that a pool can
be built next to the gym at reas- 1
onable cost, and possibly to bet-
ter advantage than in the original
building. An indoor pool would
offer a wonderful opportunity for
Ithe young people of our commun-
‘ity. It is planned to include swim-
ming as a necessary requirement}
for a PE. credit, which means[
that all the young people will'i
I
in construction and in facilities
for care of a pool remove objec-
tions which may have been im-
portant at an earlier time.
“Finally there are two impor-
tant reasons for voting
locally it may well be possible to
‘get matching funds from either
state or federal governments for
our projects, thereby reducing the
amount of local money which
would have to be spent. Some
government funds appear already
to have been promised to those
school districts which have build-
ing funds on hand in reasonable
amounts.
"A further advantage in the
form of postwar. employment for
Mason county people will accrue
to a well-planned building pro-
gram for our public school system,
which with other projects for the
postwar era will assist in pro-
viding the full employment so
necessary to happiness and pros-
perity.”
