Things haven't changed, basicallyl a great deal since Ben's time. Of course we don't grab a leather bucket and rush off to save the house or business of friend and neigh- bor as did Ben's bucket brigadeirs, but the only real differ- ence is the tools we work with. We still rush off to save those homes and buildings, in powerful, shiny, big trucks loaded with hose, ladders, pumps, masks, protective cloth- ing, and dozens of modern accessories which make our ability to control fire far superior to Ben's buckets. But we still use one of Ben's basics---the volunteer fire- man. At least in the small community and rural district we do. It's a matter of economics. That's why we hope there will be a large, enthusiastic response tonight from the young men of Shelton to Fire Chief Allan, Nevitt's call for new volunteer firemen for the Shelton fire deI)artment. Chief Nevitt, nobly aided by the Shelton Jaycees, has called a meeting in the Jaycee Hall at the airport at 7:30 tonight to explain the need for additional volunteer firemen and to point out the benefits and pleasures to be derived from this service to our community. At the present time the fire department is attempting to operate with only about half the number of active, re- liable volunteer firemen it needs for an effective fire-fight- ing force. Will you be there, young man? It's Little Bit Extra Make it a habit to work. Work is the price of success. The things you do that you don't have to do are what make you rise above the crowd. There are three kinds of workers: 1---Those who fall short of doing successfully the job they are told to do. These are unhappy, frustrated people who blame everyone but themselves for their h)t in life. They are more to be pitied than condemned. 2--Those who do just the job they are told to do. These are the "] don't care group". They care only to exist. 3---Those who recognize the job without being told to do it. laving is a joy to these people. These aro the peo- ple of enthusiasm, of creativeness. They contr]bttte to our way of living and truly rise above the crowd, ar- , I ticle by Jack Adam, in Mart Magazine, Sept. 65). Draft Cards & Zippo Lighters Those Buddhist monks in Vietnam, the fellows with the gasoline cans who used to keep turning up in the newspa- pers, may have been a little on the bizarre side, but you had to hand it to ttlem for courage. When they got mad at their government, they com- plained by calling in the photographers and setting hem- selves afire. By comparison, their American equivalents seem pretty timid. These are the fellows with the beards and sandals who don't want to go off to boot camp. No gasoline for those boys. When they feel heroic, they call in the photographers and then set fire to their draft cards. The card-burners are getting a lot more publicity than they merit. , Our country, because it places a lot of virtue on th;e quality of individual freedom, is not a particularly comfort,- able place for neurotics. Such people get themselves into fewer problems when a heavy-handed government keeps them under control, and the stresses of a free society are tough on them. As a result, America probably has more than its share of active screwballs. Garden-variety zanies seldom rate space in newspapers. But when they get themselves involved in questions of na- tional policy, like the youths with their draft cards and Zip- po lighters, they suddenly make news. (Kitsap County Herald). TIMBERS RESTAURANT OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY The new managers and, operat- ors of the Timbers Motel Restau- rant--Mable Long, Mary and Earl Owen---will hold a get-acquainted open house this Saturday in moYn- ing and afternoon sessions.

Somers, Grapeview, partici- pated in a rescue escort mission at sea Oct. 13 and again Oct. 16, while enroute to New York City from oceanographic research and ice operations in the Arctic, aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Northwind. Oct. 13, the Swedish freighter "Orion", sailing from Stockholm to Great Lakes, reported she had a cracked main deck some 400 miles off the southern coast of Ireland, and called for assistance. In response, the Search and Res- cue Control Center on the staff of the Commander, Coast Guard Eas- tern Area, in New York City di- verted the Northwind to aid the Orion. After standing by the freighter throughout the night of the 13th, Northwind resumed her trip to New York after the Orion's master radioed that no assistance would be required. Oct. 16, the Orion again radioed for help. This time the freighter was near the Coast Guard Cutter Escanaba, patrolling ocean station "Charlie" in the North Atlantic. New York sent the Escanaba to the Orion's aid, and again deploy- ed the Northwind back to the freighter. The Escanaba stood by the Orion until the Northw'ind ar- rived on the scene. Northwind escorted the Orion in- to Cape Race, Newfoundland for repairs and again resumed her trip to New York. Gus Graf, Civic Leader, 38-Year Resident Here, Dies In Seattle Office Gustav A.
