Republican Club
Holds First 1948
Campaign Meet
A small group of members of
the Southwest Washington Repub-
lican Club turned out on Friday
evening at the Masonic Temple for
the first meeting of the 1948 cam-
paign.
An excellent turkey dinner was
served by the O,E.S. at the con-
clusion of which an informal
meeting was held to discuss
plans for the coming year.
The principal speaker of the
evening was Rep. Harry Kittle-
man of the 31st legislative dis-
tract in Seattle.
KITTLEMAN summarized the
work of the 1947 legislature with
particular reference to its accom-
plishments in the field of educa-
tion and old age assistance.
He emphasized the fact that the
educational program is one which
has been growing for some time
and he pointed out that while the
appropriations of the Republican
dominated assembly solved the
need for immediate financial aid,
there remained problems for the
future which would have to be
met to keep the schools of the
state abreast of modern educa-
tional developments.
HE FURTHER poflted out that
the increased appropriations pass-
ed for the benefit of the aged had
made it possible for the program
of social security to be carried
out without any loss to the senior
citizens of the state.
The cuts which were mate in
the pension checks before the re-
cent special election have been re-
stored and actual surpluses are de-
veloping in the old age fund,
It is significant, he stated, that
the attack of the pension groups
has shifted from the Republican
legislature to tle Dmnocratic ad-
ministration,
ALSO RECEIVING the atten-
tion of the group was the cur-
rent investigation of the licensing
of private non-profit liquor clubs.
R. C. Springgate, president of
the organization outlined some of
the plans for the party's fight to
rgain'ontrol of the state and the
nation in 1948.
He urged the members of the
party to redouble their efforts in
the coming year to keep the state
from ever returning to the scorn-
ful designation of the "Little So-
viet of Washington."
The next meeting was announced
for Olympia sometime in Janu-
ary.
Local Democratic
Committee Meets
The Democratic Central Com-
mittee of .Mason county met last
week at Belfair in preparation
for an intensive campaign next
year,
The meeting which was attend-
ed by about 30 precinct workers
from Mason county adopted a res-
olution asking that Henry Wal-
lace remain in the Democratic
party and become a candidate for
the presidency in 1948.
This was the second meeting
in the new program of the com-
mittee to visit different towns and
enable them to become better ac-
quainted with party workers from
other parts of Mason county.
The next meeting of the com-
mittee is set for January 12 at
Cloquallam with monthly meetings
being planned from then on in
1948.

Harstine Island
Electric Power
Due Soon, Said
One of the few sections of Ma-
son county not serviced by elec-
tricity will be able to snap the
switch and enjoy the efficiency
of brilliant illumination, bathe in
water heated by c4ectric energy,
do the cooking, make the toast,
heat the iron or any one of the
other countless household chores
by electricity.
That is the blessing that is
promised for the people of Har-
stine Island by Claude Danielson,
manager of Mason County Public
Utility District No: 3,
He gave the assurance before
the last regular monthly meeting
of the Shelton Chamber of Com-
merce last Thursday evening at
Hotel Shelton Coffee shop.
OANIELSON, gUest speaker at
the meeting reviewed the activi-
ties of the district, the problems
and the extensions that had been
made.
On Harstine Isl'and, lines are al-
ready installed and with submar-
ine cable expected soon, the service
can then be connected up and the
blessings of electric energy taken
advantage of.
Today a total of 72 customers
have signed up for service on the
island with 29 miles of lines in-
stalled so that they may be served.
IN ADDITION to the Harstine
development, Manager Danielson
reported that the system was con-
nected • ith the Bonneville Power
administration on September 4,
1947, a realization that has given
adequate service to the customers
of Shelton, but which, as yet, does
not provide all the needed overall
complete improvements.
Failure of some Bonneville gen-
erator equipment makes electricity
still an emergency commodity,
and as a result of that Danielson
asked that installation of outdoor
Christmas !ights in Shelton be dis-
pensed with this season,
HE REPORTED that 65 miles
o new line have been ,comtructed
i"'le:'rizral areas vr6d by h'e
iRillty district with approximately
2 3-4 miles of new lines in Shel-
ton proper,
This has made service possible
for 10 new electric leated houses,
124 new electric ranges and 138
new water heaters. A gain of 254
new ustomers has been added to
the district from December 31, 1946
to September 30, 1947.
The retail trades committee of
the Chamber made plans for the
annual open house which will in-
augurate the season's shopping
program.
STORES WILL be open the
evening of Friday, December 5
until 8 p.m, at which time the
public is invited to visit the city's
merchandising centers to see dis-
plays of what has been provided
for their inspection and purchase
as Christmas gifts.
The Journal edition of Decem-
ber 4 shall carry full details of
the open house event, with mes-
sages of individual merchants to
assist the shopper.
The Chamber detailed a pro-
gram of visits to county Grange
organizations in an effort to make
rural and city personalities better
acquainted. S. B. Anderson was
lauded for his efforts in making
a success of the program.
A nominating committee headed
by Anderson and including James
Roush and Don Remsberg as mem-
bers will select a list of nom-
inees from which Chamber of-
ficers for 1948 will be named.
Their report is expected soon.
School Projects
Moving Slowly,
But Progressing
Progress on two Shelton school
construction projects--.onc still in
the blueprint stage, the other in
the actual material stage--was re-
ported this Week by City School
Supt. R. W. Oltman.
Supt. Oltman and Elementary
School Principal Dick Hudson
spent part of Tuesday in Tacoma
conferring with architects on prob-
lems pertaining to the plans for
the new elementary school build-
ing which will be constructed ad-
jaceut to the new gynmasium.
Very good progress is being
made and much of the preliminary
work has been completed on the
building plans by the architects,
with the general floor plan and
the size of the various rooms es-
tablished. Detailed plans will be
started immediately, Supt. Oltman
reported.
"BUILDING plas at best are
complicated and no doubt several
months will elapse before our new
grade school building will reach
the actual construction stage," hc
commented,
Work on the new Loop Field
baseball grandstand is making
some progress between rainy
spells. The vocational carpentry
class is handling this project un-
der the supervision of Arne John-
son and George Woodruff,
Much of the material is now on
hand so faster progress can be ex-
pected from now on a.s the weather

Closes Deal for Hold,ngs
In Three Counties Here
President Edward Bartsch of Rayonier Incorporated
announced today in Shelton that negotiations have been
completed for acquiring practically all the Polson Logging
company's vast tracts of timberlands and!ogging facilities
on the Olympic peninsula. The announcement was made
exclusively to the Journal by Mr. Bartsch.

Bushes Still
Bearing New
Berry Crop
The Journal's Nature Editor,
Lafe Redafe, is sleeping off a large
"sampling" of the recent new
crop of raspberries, so it has fal-
len to the regular staff of writers
to report where he got his ber-
ries,
Following the revelation last
week by Charlie Rucker that his
raspberry bushes were bearing a
second crop for the year, te Jour-
nal was called by three other fam-
.llies who reported they, too, have
bushes with a second crop of fruit. I
By diligent listening to Lafe's
.mumlings' .as he, .slept: .uff,'..What:
at first appeared to be overindUl-
gence of another sort, we deter-
mined that, he had been sampling
raspberries from the bushes of
Mrs. R. McMahon, on Hillcrest,
and Mrs. E, Julian, of Agate.
HE ALSO muttered that le had
tried a few strawberries grown
on the plants of Dick Karns on
Angleside, Lafe moaned,
"Them strawberries wuzn't quite
ripe yet, and that's what done it
to wte."
However, he reported that the
raspberries he had eaten -- only
about a dozen berries from each
place were so big that he didn't
realize until too late that he was
becoming "loaded." He said they
were bigger than apples. We hope
he meant crab-apples,
He also told the worried staff
of the Journal that he had sam-
plod a large apple from the grav-
enstein tree he noticed at Mrs.
Julian's place.
"They wuz blossoms on thet
danged tree, too," he said. "Never
saw the likes o' it. Things jest
a-growin' right and left, and' hcrc
it is nigh Thanksgivin'. Times lms
shore changed."
Times have indeed changed,
judging from the reports flooding
the Journal office.
Three School
Officials Attend
Centralia Meet
Three city and county school
officials represented the Shelton I
and Mason county school systems i
at last week's Southwest Wasl-
ington sc h o o I superintendents
meeting at Contrails, attended by
approximately 60 school officials
who participated in a number of
discussions covering current school
problems.
Supt, R. W. Oltman and Assist-
ant Supt. Homer Taylor represent.
ed the Slelton system. County
Supt. J, W. Goodpaster the county
system at the meeting.
The most important problem
discussed concerned certification of
teachers employed under war em-
ergency standards. Other topics in-
cluded transportation, . adult chms-
es, cafeteria management, and
school insurance.
Supt. Oltman is president of the
association.

SENIOR BALL SET
FOR ALUMS, ALL
STUDENTS, FRIDAY
All alumni, students a n d
friends of Irene S. Reed High
School arc invited to attend th
annual Senior Ball which will be
held tomorrow night at the
gymnasium.
The Seattle orchestra of El
Arsenau has been engaged for
the affair whioh is the first of
the year's two big high school
formal dances. Long dresses and
business suits will be in style
for the occasion.
Tickets are selling for $2.00 a
couple, or $1.50 singles; and
dancing will begin at 9 p.m.

By this purchase, well over
two billion feet of timber are
added to Rayonier's already
large timber holdings, assur-
ing the company's three
Northwest pulp mills of an
adequate future supply of the
wood necessary to keep them
in continuous and full-scale
production.
In a world keenly aware.of its
universal shortage of wood, this
acquisition puts Rayonier in an
enviable position.
RAYONIER Incorporated is the
world's largest producer of dis-
solving pulp and is one of the
larges holders of timber proper-
ties in the Northwest.
The bulk of its output is the
highly purified wood cellulose
known as "dissolving pulp," which
is the basic raw material for mak-
ing rayon, cellophane, photogra-
phic film, and certain plastic pro-
ducts. A small percentage of Ray-
onier's woodpulp does, however, go
into the making of fine papers.
The Polson properties are adja-
cent to Rayonier's present hold-
ings and are ideally located with

respect to Rayonier's Washington
mills. More than 50,000 acres of
Rayonier's new timberlands con-
sist of virgin timber located in
Jefferson, Clallam, and Grayl
Harbor counties , . ,, . ,,: .
tensive areas in which the timber
already has reached maturity, and
is ready to be felled to make way
for new growth. These forests will
thus provide an immediate supply
of wood for Rayonicr's Northwes
mills.
Logging conditions in thesa
stands of timber are said to be
considerably better than the aver-
age found in the same general
area The Polson company is now
operating three large logging
camps in these sections and these
operations will continue under di-
rection of the new owners.
In Grays Harbor County, Ray-
enter acquires about 70,000 acres
of "reproduction lands"--acres on
which trees are now being re.
grown to provide for' the future.
PRESIDENT BARTSCH point-
ed out that an important advan-
tage of the acquisition, with re-
spect to both his company's and
the public's interest, lies in th
fact that the integrated Rayonie
and Polson properties are coneen-
'trated lmar large stands of. na-
tional and state owned timber. '
Under government timber cute
tang programs required to keep
these publicly owned forests con-
tinuously productive these timber-
lands represent an additional po-
tential supply of wood for Ray-
onier's mills.
The Poison railroad, an import-
ant and most essential part of the
purchase, is 125 miles long and,
'cogether' with Rayonier's preseng
raih'oads, provides the only exlsto
ing outlet foe a large part of the
publicly owned timber oft the
Western Olympic Peninsula. '
,, WHILE THE construction of
highways might afford other out-
lets, distances are great and use
of the combined railroads would
appear to be the most practical
and cconqmical means of trans-
portation.

Catholic School
Case is Taken
Under Advisement
Arguments were heard on the
demurrers presented by attorneys
John Lynch, representing the Catho
olic Church, and Charles I.e, wis,
representing the City of Shelton,
in the court action involving the
issuance of a building permit for
a parochial school before Judga
John M. Wilson in Superior Court
Saturday.
Judge Wilson took the case un-
der advisement following the pre-
sentation of the argment Sat-
urday afternoon.
The Catholic church brought
suit against the city following the
refusal of tim city commission to
g, rant a building permit for the
pi'oposcd new school at Third and
Franklin streets.
The church has contended that
the city ordinance, upon which
Connnissioners Travis and Kimbel
based their refusal is unconstitu-
tional, and that their refusal con.
statutes interference with use of
their property.
