The metal is now being sorted and taken to Seattle by local junk- men for use in the war effort. Those people who still have scrap metal are reminded that this is a continuous drive, and that they may add their bit to the drive by calling W. A. Magoon, chairman of the local salvage committee. Farm Drive Next Spotlight of the salvage pro- gram turned to the farms this week as rural residents began turning in old farm implements for the state-wide “Scrap Har- vest,” November 1-21. The drive is cosponsored by the lState Defense Council’s Washing- jton State Salvage Committee, the salvage committees of county and city Defense Councils, and farm implement dealers. Chairmen in this county are W. A. Magoon and George Cook. To Gather Scrap Purpose of the harvest is to garner all available farm scrap metal which was not salvaged during the. October Newspaper Scrap Drives. Where it is not ship- ped at once, scrap will be put in “Victory stockpiles” until needed by Washington steel mills. Value of farm scrap, the local committee said, is illustrated by the following “wartime arithme- tic" table: Scrap metal in one old tractor will make 580 .30 caliber machine guns. Five old hayrakes equa armored scout car. One old automobile, plus an equal weight ,of pig iron, equal 27 antiaireraft guns, 20 mm., or 30 machine guns, .50 caliber, or three 2,000 pound aerial bombs. One spike-tooth or spring tooth harrow equals four 4-inch shells. One dozen haw mowers equal a 3-inch anti-aricraft gun. One hand corn sheller equals three 6-inch shells. One disc harrow equals 10 anti— aircraft detectors. One lawn mower equals six 3- l l to one d On Page Eight) inch shells. Repr. in State Repr. , . Co. Com. Supreme stices i .

Faubcrt is the only candidate for treasurer, to succeed himself. ‘ The city polls will be open dur- ing the usual hours. SOS Sent Out By Local TB League In a plea to local people Mrs. George Cropper, seal drive chair- man for the 10cal Tuberculosis League, issued the following state- ment in regard to local efforts. “Essential to the war effort is the nation's health. The man in the service, the man in the fac- tory and on the farm, the very homes of America, must be pro- tected against the by-products of war, pestilence and disease. “Deadliest of all the enemies of man, one that strikes without warning, is the dread tuberculosis, and it is already on the march in our community. “To meet this emergency, your local Tuberculosis League needs your help desperately. When you receive your Tuberculosis Seals, make a real effort to take as many as you possibly can." SHELTON, BATTLES ' MONTE TO TIE With rain and mud making playing conditions precarious to say the least, Shelton and Mon- tesano battled to a 0-0 tie on Loop field last Friday.

Captain Worden of the Guard expressed his appreciation on behalf of the unit to the Eagles for this generous gesture. Composed of professional musi- cians from some of the bigvname orchestras of the East, and ac— claimed as one of the outstanding military orchestras of the coun- try, Tech. Sgt. Gene Punches and his orchestra will provide the mu- sic i'or‘Shclton's big Military Ball this Saturday evening at the new gym. The dance is sponsored and con- ducted by Shelton Company of the Washington State Guard Reserve for the purpose of buying uni- forms and equipment for the maitcnance of the local guard un- it. Many Specials According to word received from Sgt. Punches, the band's dance program consists mainly of specials arranged by members of the group. This means plenty of entertainment for the crowd as well as first-c1885 dance music. Although the band is fairly new in this part of the country, they have proved themSeres over the air and on dance throughout the South. The band has worked with Al Jolson, Mary Ann Mercer and other top-notch entertainers. They also ‘play for all the touring big time vaude- ville shows that hit Fort Lewis. Committees Function Other arrangements for the dance are virtually complete. Dec- oration of the gym will be under the guidance of Lt. Homer Taylor I and his committee. Other commit- tees are functioning smoothly al- so. A check-up on ticket sales last Friday shows that a record crowd can be expected.

NO. 3, lines museum”! 1376 3282 708 5366 many communities of the county wflght 1287 1304 554 3445 were knocked down by falling trees, and a large part-of Shel- ton itself was blacked out for a time. Johnson stated that three trucks with crews have been busy since Monday repairing'the dam- age, and that everything was back in service last night. Material Hard to Replace One bad feature of the storm, Johnson said, was the destruction of lines, transformers, insulators and other items which are very difficult to replace. Fortunately the P.U.D. had an emergency sup- ply of such materials to cover the present loss. Mr. Johnson asked the Journal' to express his appreciation for the cooperation shown by people throughout the county who were without power, but who waited patiently until power could be re- stored. ' I I 5'0 Old Burner Falls Another fatality of‘ the storm was the old refuse burner, a huge steel conical shaped affair built in the early days of the local mills to consume the slabs and waste not used in the power plant, which blew down, Monday. The burner has. not been. used for years, as changes made in oper- ation required all the cuttings for use as power. The burner was being disman- tled for metal salvage and a sec- tion removed permitted the heavy wind to get' inside and tip the walls over against the conveyor from the McCleary mill, which forced the plant to close for a day while repairs were being made.

SON BORN THURSDAY Mr. and Mrs. William Wing of Union are the parents of a baby boy born at the Shelton hospital on Thursday. l l S LOSER With election interest the quiet-' est in years, the main feature of Tuesday’s general election center- ed in the strong upsurge staged by the Republican party in county and state. Since most county posts were uncontested, this Rep ublican swing was not so noticeable in Mason county except in the race for Congress in the Third District. Martin F. Smith, who had polled very large pluralities in the county “1 past elections, was nos- ed out by Fred Norman, Raymond Republican. Norman piled up even larger leads in other Third Dis- trict counties to assure himself the election by a substantial plur- ality. Demos Win 24th Dist. Posts Three Democrats, Dr. U. S. Ford, Francis Pearson and Char- les Savage, were returned to their seats in the State Legislature from the 24th District, with Char- les T. VVrigltt of Sheltui, only Re- publican candidate, trailing. Wright held up well in Mason county Voting but was snowed un-. der in the upper counties of Clai- lam and Jefferson. In the only contested county posts Democrats also emerged vic- torious. J. E. Martin, present county school superintendent, dc- feated J. L. Catto for the county treasurer’s post 1448 to 1055; War- ren Lincoln, incumbent, defeated John Whiting for the assessor's post 1774 to 643 and Herb Dick- inson Won the 3rd district com- missioner‘s race over Mrs. Butler 1776 to 544. Gene Martin W'ins Votes As usual E. F. Martin, running unopposed for sheriff, polled the highest individual vote with a 2039 total. The P.U.D. No. 3 election, in which some pre-election fire- works were ignited, proved strict- ly no contest, with Jack Bichsel, R. R. McDonald, present incum- bents, and their running mate, Tom Webb, winning easily. Webb piled up the highest vote beating George Clifton 1729 to 656. Results of the election in P.U.D. No. 1 are not shown in the table below, were Michael 273 for Dis- trict 1, Hulbert 273 for District 2, and Lockwood 187, Bearden 138 in District 3.
