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-

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

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.

all taxpayers that November 30
is the deadline for making last
half tax payments without inter-
est.

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

to other forms of welfare.
“Zilter Elliott brought to the
Kiwanis Club Tuesday a brief ’re-
view of the various shortages in

more or less acute in the year

was followed by a. trip through
the Simpson Tree Farm, which

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-

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.
