(Continued on Page Eight) Shelton SHELTON, WASHINGTON, Friday, November 13, 1942. lState Guard Military Ball Attracts Huge Gathering One of the largest gatherings. ever to attend a local social affair,‘ jammed the new Shelton gym last Saturday evening for the Military‘ Ball sponsored by the Shelton‘ Company, Washington S t a t e Guard Reserve. The crowd of some 1400 people1 heard Governor Arthur Langlie, guest of the local Guard Company, speak on the purposes behind the forming of the State Guard, and praise both the members of the guard for their efforts and the citizens of Mason county for their splendid support of the unit. Nets Over $600 ‘I According to Capt. Frank Wor- den. commander of the local unit, net proceeds from the affair should go over the $600 mark: when all tickets and money out have been turned in. The money will be used in the purchase of uniforms and other equipment. Neutral observers were loud in their praises of the dance, com— menting not only on the high qual- ity of the music produced by Sgt. Gene Punches and his orchestra, lbut also on the smoothness and lexpert handling with which the whole affair was put on. Company Mobilized . In order to present the company to the local community, Capt. Worden called a mobilization of the unit during the dance. The en- Iiocii’INDIIsui‘ 1 NOW GOING FULL SPEED FOR WAR, Besides the industries of Shel- ton which are going at full speed on the 24-hour basis, all more or less allied to the na- tional war effort, there are sev- eral other important operations employing considerable labor now in progress although not evident right in Shelton. The most important and larg- est is at the Shelton airport where the Geo. Grisdale Construction Company has a large force of men and machines grading the run- ways for the airport, one mile- long stretch being about complete and good progress being made on another of similar length as well as several taxiing runways. Airport Buildings The Bonnell Construction Com- pany is making good progress on its contract for some 50 build- ings, large and small, adjoining and for use in connection with the airport, the foundation material being furnished by the Shelton Concrete Company in “ready-mix” supplied by rolling trucks. Roy Kimbel’s pile driver is en— gaged in driving some 1500 piles for foundation for the new ship and barge building plant at Olvm‘ pia, his contract also including getting out and delivering the piles. Don McKay has been engaged for several months in turning out booms for the Liberty vessels now building around the Sound, the piles being turned at his plant in the old Ford Garage. Long Piling Extra long piles are being de- livered at the N. P. railroad yards where they are peeled and dress- ed and being loaded on cars for shipment to an army project. Then the Christmas tree opera- tions of each fall are already in progress with both the Hofert and the Kirk Companies having crews in the woods cutting young trees,l bundling and loading on cars for shipment to East and South mar- ,kets, calling for any idle men to good paying jobs. I; is also reported than man- ganese mines are being opened above Lake Cushman and miners are engaged in getting out ore, but Shipping not yet begun. It is stated that the ore will be trucked to Seattle. ' State Testing Equipment Will Return Nov.' 18 Word was received today from the State Highway Department that a final round-up on cars which have not yet received green stickers from the testing station Will be conducted here next week. An unscheduled return of the testing equipment will be made at the Pine Street station from Nov- ember 18 to November 23. Sta- tion hours will be daily from a. to 12 noon, and from 1 p. m. to 5 p. In. Cars not bearing the green sticker are now several months delinquent, and the owners are urged to comply with the state requirements, by taking them thru the testlng lanes at once. Two Escapees Give Selves Up at Jail Two escaped inmates from the Western State Hospital at Setila- ‘coom_ gave themselves up to Jail- or Mike Kennedy this week. The two men, Lawrence Nichols and Albert Pera, were discovered by Kennedy wandering around the courthouse. Evidently the cold weather had disc ' ions of escape. ouraged their VlS tire group lined up on the dance floor, roll was taken and the com-, pany stood at attention while thel Star Spangled Banner was played. Immediately following, Cover-l nor Langlie was introduced by, Mayor William Stevenson, himself a member of the local guard unit,1 and gaVe a short stirring talk ini which he praised the members of. the guard for giving their time, and money toward the local effort. I He also spoke warmly of the‘ splendid turnout of local citizens; to help put over the dance. | Thanks Expressed Dance Committee Chairman Emmett Kaphingst expressed the, thanks of the committee and of, the guard unit to the following‘ firms and individuals: Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Le- gion for their hearty cooperation; Eagles lodge for their donation of dance funds from Shelton Valley dance; Shelton Printing Co. for tickets; Pantorium Cleaners for truck; Mason County Creamery for equipment; Prof. Enzo Loop and School board for' use of new gym and other equipment; Mason County Steam Laundry, Pantor- ium Cleaners and J. C. Penney Co. for coat hangers; wives of guard members for cakes donated; Northwest Evergreen for truck and Journal for printing and ad- vertising. Dan Anderson Sends Donation To Guard Unit Pvt. Dan L. Anderson of Lake Cushman and the United States Army, is not one to for— get his home district or friends quickly. Pvt. Anderson, who is stationed at Ellington Field, Texas, found out about the State Guard dance which was held last Saturday. A letter was received last Monday by Capt. Frank Wor- den, of the local unit, along with a. $2.00 donation from Pvt. An- derson. In his letter Anderson ex~ pressed his feeling of pride in the efforts of his home folks to safeguard the home front while he and his fellow soldiers went into actual battle. He also expressed the hope that his $2 donation would help to swell the fund being collected by the State guard for equipment. Capt. Worden has asked the Journal to express to Pvt. An— derson the sincere thanks of the Shelton Company, Wash- ington State Guard Reserve for 1 his contribution. War Council Siren Listed Under Priorities Construction of an air raid sir- en proposed by the Mason County War Council is being held up un- til necessary priorities for mater- ials can be secured, Commission- er Vincent Paul reported to the council Monday evening. Lack of critical materials and lack of time for local firms to work on the siren are contributing to the delay in its manufacture, Paul said. Civilian Defense Coordinator Frank Heuston announced that a check had been sent to a firm in San Francisco for the purchase of a siren to be run by compressed air. The siren is being bought on a trial plan, actual purchase de- pending on success 6f its use. Cole Convicted In Assault Case Marvin Cole, 21, was sentenced to from one to 20 Years at the Washington State Reformatory in Superior Court last Saturday. Cole was convicted of first de- gree assault as a result of a fam- ily altercation near Allyn, when he shot and slightly wounded his mother-in-lavn , Edward Cole, his brother, who was with him at the time of the assault, was released after the charge against him had been dis- missed by Judge F. Wright. Beckwith To Give Service Placques In honor of local men who have entered the armed forces of the United States, F. E. Beckwith, lo- cal jeweler, is presenting families of such men with service placques. These placques have stars for each service man in the family and may be hung on the wall or in the window. They will be given without charge. PAY TAXES SOON County Treasurer Omer Dion sent a reminder out this week to all taxpayers that November 30 is the deadline for making last half tax payments without inter- est. DRUNK AND DISORDERLY Roy Bowman, Shelton, forfeited $15 bail in justice court this week on charges of being drunk and dis- orderly. OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPEII OBSERVANCE OF ARMISTICE DAY SUCCESS With many local groups taking part, Shelton’s first Armistice day parade and program in a decade, proved a big success despite raw foggy weather. Short stirring speeches by As- sistant State Attorney General Shirley Marsh and Capt. Don Grant of the Fourth Fighter Com- mand climaxed the patrotic pro- gram. Both speakers struck new notes in regard to Armistic Day. Marsh pointing out that the present war is teaching us that the United States can never again retire intol “isolation” into which she with- drew following the first World War. Marsh stated that the nation has become so large and power- ful that it must take a hand in European affairs in order to in- sure peace throughout the world. Arrny Praises Workers Capt. Grant dWelt on the re- lationship between the soldier at the front and the worker in the homeland. He declared that the old conception of all the honor go—' ing to the soldier has changed so that much honor is now paid to (Continued on Page Six) ANDERSON NEw ' PRESIDENT FOR LOCAL KIWANIS S. B. Anderson was advanced from vice-president to president of the Shelton Kiwanis Club at the annual election Tuesday, and Lawrence Carlson to vice-presi- dent, with M. Zintheo re-elect- ed treasurer. The new board of trustees include G. C. Angle, A. L. Bell, R. F. Eddy, Frank Wor- den, Winston Scott, W. A. Mc- Kenzie and W. A. Witsiers. The club will forego its usual holiday distribution and devote its funds to other forms of welfare. “Zilter Elliott brought to the Kiwanis Club Tuesday a brief ’re- view of the various shortages in foods of normal use which will be more or less acute in the year ahead at home because of the drain of lend-lease as well as the supply of our men in service over, the world, and due in part to re- strictions on use of tin for can- ning and failure to provide against Mason County Has turned in since the first of- the‘ year Mason county a per capita average of 127.4 lbs. per person, W.

Mr. Go‘Vey died last Tuesday evening at the Shel- ton General Hospital following a long illness. Details of his long career with the Simpson Logging Company are given in the adjacent column. SIMPSON-v TREE FARM PROGRAM ILLUSTRATED FOR D I S T R I C T WOMEN’S CLUB BY EXECUTIVES High Scrap Total With 705 tons of scrap metal I has built up Broken down by monthly totals the time of want. In Elliott’s opinion many of the May 112,360 pounds, June 85,675, July 21,510, August 17,300, Sep- tember 50,150, October 39,190, plies and of other foods which are familiar items on the grocer’s shelves now will be missing and the home folks will be forced to make more use of home grow sup- common and not limited. With ra- tioning the order the public willl thus share in some measure the hardships, if such it be called, of those who are doing the hard work of fighting. Phil Murphy, chairman of the Camp and Hospital Committee of the Red Cross, made an encour- aging report of the response to call for 400 kits for service men! in that over $500 had been receiv- ed from over the county, and more , kits would be purchased at $1.09 each. He also reported progress in organizing the Theatre Guild and the String Orchestra for furnish- ing entertainment for U.S.O. serv— ice, WhiCh he exPeCted woum' headquarters November to date 44,260. These figures include only scrap taken to Seattle by Ray Keyzers, Ilocal scrap man. There is still a large quantity of scrap of lighterl varieties, which the government does not Want as yet. Keyzers has taken 204 tons to Seattle, Rayonier Inc. has turned in 221 tons and the Simpson Log- ging Co. has gathered 180 tons of scrap.

The trip was to show how cut- over lands, if given opportunities for reseeding and subsequent pro- tection from fire will come back to their original beauty, when the lands were covered by trees as “thick as hair on the back of a dog,” as Pioneer Francis Henry phrased it in his poem “The Old Settler." Following the luncheon, Chrisi Kreinenbaum and George Drake‘ of the company discussed the tree farm program of the company, which has as its objective the en- couraging and protection of young growth in order to provide a. fu- ture supply of raw materials Which at present are being sup- (Continued on Page Two) Council Moves To Retain Name Sanderson Field Efforts to retain the name of Sanderson Field for the Shelton airport will be made by the city council, it was decided at that body’s meeting last Thursday eve- were ARTHUR GOVEY DIES AFTER '52 YEARS SERVICE Arthur B. Govey, 71, who held the distinction of 52 years of ser- vice with the Simpson Logging Company, passed away Tuesday evening at the Shelton General Hospital after a long illness. His passing closed a life of quiet un- ostentatious community service. Funeral services will be held at the Witsier Funeral Home on Fri— day at 2 p. m., conducted by Rev. Robert Maulden of the Methodist Church where Mr.-and Mrs. Govey regular attendants. Pall bearers will be chosen associates on the board of the Shelton hos- pital. Interment will follow in the Shelton Memorial cemetery. Born In England Arthur B. Govey was born in London, England, February 11, 1871, and came to this country as a young man in his “teens” to seek his fortune, as had many from the old country before him, and after. He came to Mason county February 1, 1889, the year of statehood, and found work in the logging camp of Pete Peterson on the Port Blakely Railroad, where he started at the lowly task of “greasing skids” over which logs were then slowly haul- ed to the landings by oxen. He had some interesting recollections of early days, paranularly when the then Sheriff Duckworth called on him to dig up $4 poll tax or work two days on the county roads, and his difficulty of con- vincing the officer that he. was, still a minor. With Sol Simpson in 1891 January 1, 1891, he began work with Sol. G. Simpson and Co., as clerk in his camps on the rail- road, which succeeded the several pioneer loggers for the Blakely Company, including Sam Willey, Ed Callow and Peterson, and as the railroad was extending west- ward to “Buck Prairie.” It was here in the big snow of four feet or more, lasting from November, 1892 to March of 1893, that the camps were snow- (Continued on Page Eight) SHELTON STREET LIGHTS NOT YET DIM-OUT PROOF Many of Shelton’s street lights were blacked out last night as lack of time to prepare adequate dimout arrangements forced city officals to turn the lights out al- together. _Mayor. William Stevenson, au- nounced that preparations had been made to effectively dim the large globes on downtown lamp posts, but that the smaller lights scattered around town had not been fixed since no official met- hod of dimming such lights has as yet been sent out by the army. Business District Violations According to civilian defense officials and air raid wardens, dimout arrangements in the re- sidential districts have been quite good despite a few careless porch lights, but that there were still many glaring violations of dim- rules in the business districts. This is particularly true of the small windows above the mar- quees, which in many cases are still uncovered despite repeated warnings. Civilian defense aut- horities have not cracked down on anyone yet, hoping the urgency of the program would brmg' a.- bout the desired cooperation. How- ever violaters may find the army getting after them, which would prove regretable. District 'Lighting Consultant Gordon Cochran of Olympia, ad- . dressed some 75 air raid wardens here Tuesday evening, giving them instructions on what to look for and how to handle dimout vio- lations. Following the meeting he inspected arrangements made by the Simpson Logging Co. machine ishops and the plant of Rayonier. nc. ning.

The loss left Shelton without a victory for the season, though they did manage to hold Monte- sano to a 0-0 tie. Shelton failed to gain a first down against the rugged Olympia line and gained only 21 yards from ground plays and passes to the Bears 338.

The army has requested that no letters or cards be inclosed with garments, but persons do- ing the knitting may include slips containing their names and ad- dresses. It is also asked that garments be well made, since poorly made garments must be unraveled and done over. The chapter has yarn on hand for anyone wishing to start on a project now. .— Former Local Man Killed In Action Word of the death of Corp. Ed- ward J. “Ned” Gibbons, 24, for- mer Shelton resident, was receiv- ed yesterday by Mrs. Marcia ShOr- ter with whom the young man boarded While working at Mc- Cleary mill. Corp. Gibbons, member of a prominent Pittston, Penn. family, was killed in action while serving with the army in Alaska on Sep- tember 8. ARMISTICE BABIES ~Armistice Day seems to have been a very popular day at the Shelton hospital for the arrival of babies, for on that day a baby son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Duckham of Shelton, a baby boy to Mr. and Mrs. La- verne Brasher of Pines Auto Camp, 8. baby girl to Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Eddy of Grapeview and a baby son to Mr. and Mrs. Far- num Loitz of Route 3, Shelton. ton boy. After a closure of several weeks Needham asks all organizations interested in this effort to con- tact him so that a concerted pro- gram may be planned. Other council business included the voting down of the council pay ordinance No. 308, and a. re- port by City Engineer Phillips that 1150 feet of 16” concrete the Shelton Pharmacy, formerly operated by Frank Gordon, will re-open its doors Saturday morn- ing under the managership of L. D. Hack. Mr. Hack operated the pharm- acy at one time, selling it to Gor- don. He has had many years in the drug business and expresses water pipe had been laid, also 200 feet of 12" pipe. Balance of pipe laying depends on the weather. ESSENTIAL the hope that his former custom— ers will renew their business ac- quaintances. DETAILS OF GAS RATIONING PLAN GIVEN FOR Permanent gasoline rationing in the acts. designated by the Gov- ernment is scheduled to start on December The following sum- mary of the plan should be read and studied by every gasoline dealer. On and after the effective date (12:01 A. M. December 1, 1942) no gasoline can be sold by a dealer to a consumer except in exchange for gasoline coupons “Acknow- ledgments of Delivery”,or “Em ergency Receipts.” Dealers in ord- er to replenish their supplies of gasoline will be required in turn to exchange coupons, etc., equal in gallonage value to the number of gallons to be purchased. ALL GASOLINE DEALERS MUST REGISTER. Before opening for business on December 1, take an actual in- USE BY SERVICE STATION MEN ventory of gasoline on hand. Write this inventory figure and your tank capacity on a piece of paper. Take this with’ you to pour Local Ration Board on December 2—3 and fill out application for dealer registration. Upon approval, you will be given a copy of your appli- cation, and Inventory Coupons to equal the difference between your gasoline on hand and your storage capacity.
