IACTIVE DRIVE
GOES OVER TOP
With approximately 10 more
tons gathered in last Sunday's
clean—up drive, the Active club
can point to a total collection of
some 30 tons of scrap metal. 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

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.
Fumbles at crucial moments
and blocked punts kept both of-
fenses pretty well bottled up.

STAGE SET FOR
MILITARY DALI
SATURDAY EVE
Shelton Aerie No. 2079 F.O.
. ,E. has announced that, they will
turn over the entire proceeds
of their regular weekly dance
this Saturday to the Shelton
Company, Washington State
Guard Reserve, to use in the
purchase of equipment. 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.

STORM DAMAGE
HIGH AS TREES
FALL ON IINES
Causing considerable damage,
particularly to the power lines
throughout the county, a power-
ful 65-mile-an-hour gale swept
suddenly in Monday afternoon and
evening.

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. '

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.

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.

precinct in, reporting at 8:55 p. m.
Matlock was second at 10:45 p. m.
