With Saturday a holi- day for all local business places, a capacity crowd is expected to attend. The game gets underway at 2 p.m. Sequim's record, while not too impressive in the win column, shows some close games with Port Angeles and Port Townsend, in- dicating that the Peninsula club will prove dangerous. Outstand- ing player is Daniels, 3. halfback, who is touted as an outstanding kicker. Coach George Hermes will probably stick pretty close to the same boys who have started most of Shelton's games. The possibil- ity that Dan Smith, star end and kicker, will be on hand for duty considerably strengthens that po- sition on the Highclimber club. Starters Probable starters are Beckwith and Bates or Smith at ends; Car- dinal and Clarence Wilson or Kill- een at tackles; Adams and Hat-- old Wilson, guards; Don Wilson, , quarterback; ‘ center; Kidwell, Howard and Daviscourt, half- backs, and Howarth, fullback. ‘ Displaying a disastrous inabil- ity to hang on to a slippery ball, the ,Highclimbers bowed to Elma’s Eagles last Friday 18 to 0. Shel- ton fumbled six times with Elma recovering each time. Elma’s first score came as a re- sult of a Shelton fumble on their own 40-yard line. The Eagles mov- ed down the field on line plays and passes to push over for a score in the second quarter. The try-for-point failed. The last two Elma. touchdowns came in the last two minutes of the game when Wedikind, Eagle end, inter- cepted two desperate flat passes by Shelton to score. The Highclimbers threatened on several occasions, but costly fum- bles stopped every drive. The game was played under miserable conditions with a driving ‘ rain turning the field into a quagmire. First Engine Goes Over Trestle With the huge earth fill and trestle on the Shelton end of the Bremerton-Shelton railroad now completed, local residents saw the first traffic pass over the section when a. locomotive and load of ties puffed up the grade out of Shelton last Monday. Progress is reported all along the line with the first half of the job from Shelton to Belfair practically completed and the second half of the road into Brem- erton well under way. Plumbing Co.

Library Will Feature Interesting Item During National Book Week Local Stores Will Close On Armistice Day Following an annual custom, Shelton’s business houses will close this Saturday which is Armistice Day, Roy Ritner, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Retail Board an— nounced. A few restaurants and one drug store will remain open but the rest of the town’s business establishments will take the day off. Local industries will con- tinue to operate on their reg- ular schedule as will the woods crews. . Members of the American Le- gion and Veteran’s of Foreign Wars will join in their annual breakfast at the Hotel Shelton. In the afternoon the main at- traction will be a football game to be played between Shelton and Sequim high schools on Loop Field at 2 p.m. Federal Aid For ,School Lunches Working parents whose children attend Mason county schools won’t have to worry about whe- ther the kids are getting the right kind of noon meals this school year—the government and local educators are cooperating to take that problem off their hands This term and next, congres- sional appropriations assure the schools a lunch program which will operate under joint commun- ity sponsorship of the War Food Administration and the public schdols, P.-T.A. and other spon- sors. With W.F.A. financing part of all food costs according to the type of meal served and the in- stitution's financial need, this non- profit program will provide nu- tritious and tasty lunches for all children who want them, at a cost of five to twenty cents a. day. Children unable to pay will re- ceive the same foods free of charge. In addition to paying part of the costs, War Food Adminis— tration may contribute foods in temporary abundance which it buys in supporting farm prices. Federal aid for community- sponsored non—profit lunch pro- grams in schools and child Care centers has been available for the past ten years. Last year’s W.F. A. program was extended to more than 4,000,000 children in 31,000 institutions. USO Club Receives New Furniture A consignment of furniture was received this week by the local U.S.O. organization from the Na- tional U.S.O. for use in the local club room in the Memorial build- ing. The furniture was sent from a club which closed in Vancouver. Included in the consignment were 15 chrome and leather chairs, two chrome and leather settees, a refrigerator and two fire extinguishers. Boy Scouts Hike To Flapjack Lake Accompanied by E. E. Brewer and C. H. Bentham, five Tender- foot members of Scout Troop 12 took a two-day trip to Flapjack Lake last week; The boys left Saturday and returned on Sunday. During the trip the group saw a herd of 25 to 30 elk, innumer- able deer and one cougar. Boys who took part included Dick Endicott, Warren Edgley, Roney Strickland, Gerald Warm- oth and Frank Warmoth. BABY BOY Mr. and Mrs. Virdon Savage are the parents of a baby boy born at the Shelton hospital on Nov— ember 3. iDrastic Need for Registered Nurses Is Revealed by Army Medical Corps Mrs. Harry Deegan, chairman of the Nurse Recruitment of the Red Cros urges that all regis. tered nu ses and those who are able to join the Army Nurse Corps contact her or the Red Cross headquarters at once. Communications from national headquarters show a critical need for nurses mainly because it is necessary for the medical depart- ment to activate before Christ- mas, hospitals that it had not ex- pected to organize before next March, due to the activity on all three war fronts and the ever— increasing number of casualties. Major General Norman T. Kirk, surgeon general of the army, an- nounces a critical shortage of nurses in the Army and there has been a disappointing response to the call for 10,000 additional nurses. The medical department had expected to recruit at least 4,000 nurses during September, but only 500 had applied for commissions, General Kirk stat- ed. There are over 39,000 nurses classified as aVailable by Procure- ment and Assignment Service, which means that number can be spared without jeopardizing civ- ilian nursing. The army is asking for only 10,000. Girls who have graduated from high school recently or will do so soon, and Want to get into nursing, are urged to contact Mrs. Deegan now and start their train- ing at once for the Army Nurse Corps. Catholic ladies will help with the Red Cross cutting, Thursday, November 9 at the Red Cross rooms at 7:30 p.m. Those who plan to attend are urged to bring their own scissors. It was also announced that there was some yarn available at the Red Cross sewing room. for .the building oc- This year‘s Book Week will be celebrated throughout the United States and many foreign coun- tries from November 12-18. The library will add some interesting features other than new books. A facsimilie edition of the "Lit- tle Pretty Pocket Book" will be exhibited. This was the first book published for children by John Newbery in 1744. Today these quaint little penny books are highly prized. Beginning with 1921 the John Newbery medal has been awarded yearly to the most dis- tinguished book for children. The library has these and they are recommended reading for all chil- dren. The Caldcott Medal estab- lished in 1937 has done much to stimulate interest in illustrations for children’s books. It is an an- nual award in honor of Randolph Caldecott, an- English illustrator, who helped begin, in the middle of the 19th century, a new era of picture books for children. This was the beginning of the beauti- ful books of the present day. Some of the Newbery and Caiiecott awards will be displayed. ‘ Have you ever seen Napoleon’s handwriting? Examples of letters by George Washington, Queen Elizabeth, Lincoln, Queen Victoria as well as others are in an old manuscript book recently present- ed to the library by Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Wright, formerly of Grape- view. Come take a look! The library will exhibit a mys- tery, "Who Killed the Book?” A reward for clues will be given, provided they lead to the guilty one. The theme for Book Week is United Through Books. So a new meaning is given them. Books are the foundation for lasting peace. - A new idea for the celebration which will make every home in (Continued on Page Five) McGuire, Berg Promoted At Hill Military At a recent Military Formation at Hill Military Academy, Port- land, Ore., the following Shelton boys were promoted, by order of Captain Leon G. Thompson, com- mandant, on the recommendation of Captain John A.

Mc- Guire, of Shelton, to the rank of sergeant. Cadet Richard‘ Gregory vBerg, son of Hanson G. Berg of Shelton, to rank of corporal. , City to Crack Down on Cars _, Speeding on Hill Plans for an effective method of checking speeding down Hill- erest in the early morning hours were discussed at last week’s city council meeting. Reports were turned in by “roll members of the council of instancos in which cars speed- ing down the highway had passed each other three abreast, forcing cars coming up the hill into the ditch. It was the opinion of most of the members that the speed- ers were not local citizens but workers and service men going to the airport from Olympia. A concerted drive to stop this practice is being planned.

BABY SON Mr. and Mrs. William.Stidd are the parents of a baby boy born at the Shelton hospital on Nov- ember 7. Candidates of the Democratic party moved into a commanding lead in all races for state posts and also held a lead in four of ‘the Congressional districts in Tuesday‘s general election as re- turns continued to pour in from all over the state. A record vote of over a million slowed closing of polling places and counting of votes, and left many of the contests in doubt, though the state appeared to be following the national trend to- wards President Roosevelt. Biggest ‘surprise in the state vote was the commanding lead of over 25,000 votes held by Senator Mon Wallgren in his contest with Governor Arthur Langlie. Given little chance by political dopest- ers, Wallgren jumped into an im- mediate lead at the outset and continued to forge ahead with the exception of a slump on Wednes- day morning when Langlie nar- rowed the vote. However, a later check with the United Press dis- closed that Wallgren was again moving further into the lead. Third District Race Another close race was for the Third Congressional District post with Democrat Charles Savage of Shelton holding a slight lead over Incumbent Fred Norman. With cast this race. Congressman Warren Magnu- son appeared to be having an easy time of it in his contest for V the' senatorial post, having piled up a big vote over his rival, Lt. Col. Harry Cain. All state offices appeared headed for the Democra- tic column without question. With 29 of Mason county‘s 33 precincts reported it appeared that the county had followed the rest of the state into the Demo- cratic column. Both Democratic nominees for county commission- er, Lyle O’Dell in the first dis- trict, and Roy Carr in the third, were far ahead of their Republi- can rivals and with only four pre- cincts missing appeared assured of victory. It appeared equally certain that the four Democratic candidates for the state legisla- ture and state senate'Wbuld'also pile up a comfortable majority. Of the various proposals and. initiatives only the 40-Mill tax amendment and the good roads proposal were passad, the rest falling by the wayside. Hunters Kill Elk At Camp There were more hunters than ,woodsmen at Simpson Camp 5 ‘over the week end, all gunning for elk which make the Wynoo- chie river country their habitat and several of the big animals were brought out on the train after being packed out of the woods. One of the finest set of antlers was that taken by Dewey Bennett and his party of Ned Snelgrove, Teedy Deer and S.

Large Volunteer Army Assembled To Open Christmas According to Mrs. E. E. Cowin of Wapato, president of the Wash- ington Tuberculosis Association, one of the largest volunteer arm- ies in the State of Washington is now being assembled by the asso- ciation and its affiliated county leagues in preparation for the annual nation-Wide sale of Christ- mas seals, which opens Novem- ber 27. “We are winning our wars," Mrs. Cowin declared, “in Europe against the Germans, in Asia against the Japanesc; at home against tuberculosis. Some of our allies are winning against these Seal Stale foreign enemies but losing against this foe at home. That must not happen here. “The people of America,” con- tinued Mrs. Cowin, “have met the challenge on all fronts. They will continue to do so. We know that we can rely on you, the public, to support the fight against tu- berculosis by the purchase of Christmas seals, making possible the continuing program of edu- cation which will assure ultimate victory. “We are fighting for freedom from tuberculosis. All together, we shall win.”
