The two plants, which employ L90 men, will shut down after swingshift, Friday, Oct. 30 and are scheduled to resume produc- tion Monday, Nov. 9. "This closure is necessary tO re- duce out" lumber inventory," said H. A. Ahlskog, manager, fir and hemlock sawmills division. "The primary cause of our extremely high inventory is lack of current orders. However, the acute rail- road car shortage of the past month and lack of vessels are con- tributing factors." Ahlskog said no further shut- downs are scheduled, but future operations will depend on obtain- ing sufficient Qrders. Meanwhile, Simpson's Olsnnpic Plywood Plant, Shelton, is shut down this week/ also for lack (ff orders. No reopening date had been set for this plant as of Wedne.~lay. &and This is a festive weekend for Mason Com~ty slmppcrs.

One ' problem of particular i ttcrcst ore" commg,n ty is a new hospital, wcU-cquippcd for present needs and the [orcsccable ]uturc. All avenues of approach to a new hospital have been investigated, all methods of financing studied thoroughly. Formation of a hospital district comes out of this long and searching study as the most logical and practical solution. This calls for the election of three commissioners to oversee its operation. The success or failure of the plan, should the voters agree to the plan, will depend in large measure on the mcn or women elected as commissioners. Regretably, there exists in the community an unhealthy and unpleasant relationship between some members of our medical profession. Therefore, it is important that the eom- missiouers elected be strictly impartial, not identified with either of the existing hospital bodies, whi('h have served well and faithfully, butno longer meet with state standards. We must not permit the community of Mason County to be crucified on a cross of personal or t)rofessional ani- mosity or partiality. The Join'hal urges passage of the hospital district proposal and the cIccti(:m of the three, tom- 'missioner candidates who have not bccn associated in the past with either of the present hospitals (see page 9).
