The Polson railroad sys- tem of 125 miles which when corn- MEXICAN bined with Rayonier'a present rail- road provides tile only existing outlet for a large part of the publicly owned thnber on the OLiDA V Western Olympic peninsula. In addition extensive tidelands and. booming grounds on the tidelands, either owned or under leaSe by the & Poisons are acquired by Rayonier. Tlmse are important to the task K/fd#EN of getting logs to the mills at lowest cost. Equally important and as part of the company's pur- FMd$/ chase, are the Polson investments in the Ozette railway company and the Bay City Lumber com- pany • rHE entire Polson purchase by JL Rayon]or, extent of which is almost beyond comprehension. when boiled down as to its conno- tations to the industrial picture of Shelton is of vast importance in that the local plant will no longer be at the mercy of purchase of logs from the open market or from over supply at other Ray- on]or mills, bat rather a contin- uous flow of raw material can be expected from the company's own woods operations. HIS writer sat at the breakfast table across from Mr. Bartsch this week and heard from him the details of the vast acquisition of NEED A Rayonier from the Polson family.

Mr. Bartach was just "plain t happy -- happiness not only result- ] ing from his sleeess in clinching t such a large purclmse, but happy[ for the good that would eventu-] Pals ally come to all of the hundreds, of loyal employees who would be[ rewarded for their trustworthy ef- forts by job promotions and greater employment security. Mr. Bartsch ks a talented and astute business leader and he knows that no company can succeed without loyalty and industry from the workn, cu, ao the purchase oi;l Poison interests should give a glow of contented satisfaction to every Rayonler employee. / WOLFES ARE PARENTS M,: and Mrs. Jesse Wolfe, 2020 Stevens St., became tile parents of a baby girl Monday, November ]7, at the Shelton General Hos- pital.

Being "Book Week," a rewew of several various books for children from the first to the sixth grades were received by Mrs. Richard L. Hudson. Mrs. Ruth Anderson assisted Mrs. Hudson by showing illustra- tions of the books on the opaque projector. This machine, presented to the school two years ago by the PTA is used in the classrooms to ilh|s- trate maps and pictures in books. By opening a book and sliding it into the machine as a slide of the map or picture is projected on the screen and enlarged several times. Mrs. Laura K. Plumb told of how she came to write the story ["Big Timber" which was published in the "Children of the USA" ser- ies of books compiled by Marion Brides Cook. Following the meeting refresh- ments were served by the first grade mothers. Mrs. John Ella- son and Mrs. Josephine Cross pou,'ed. Hood Calml Church Charles E.

All are invited to attend and hear this interesting speaker whose ex- periences as pastor, Bible teacher, evangelist and missionary give him a colorful background. Work progresses at the Ladies' Society of the Church, who are assisting the Shelton Baptist Church in their aid for tim leper colony in the Belgian Congo. Do- nations are asked for of used .ma- terials for leper patients as well as children of the colony school. Materials needed are: used razor blades• marbles, whistles, pen point holders, old Christmas cards, rul- ers, all to be old as duty on new materials is too high. Bring all material to the church. Christmas Trees ,' (Continu.d From Peg , )n') I ing is the tendency to let the sap- linga become too crowded. It is important that the young firs be given plenty of air so their' branches will become strong and / full. ' { He would rather grow one ex-[ cellent tree from a plot of ground| than two or three spindly trees that won't sell properly. He does his own selling, and knows what[ the customers want. " t EVERY SEASON for the last[ several years the Neldon's have I gone to "San FranciSco with their 1 annual crop of Christmas trees to l sell them on the retail market. ' Tim past two' years he has had I an open-air stand on Market Sredt where a0 estimated 50:000 Obple pass by  eaci day. Thkee I year's ago he had a atorc building at Mission and 22nd streets, in the "Little San Francisco" shop- ping center, Comparing the merits of open and inside selling, he favored the inside work He said that the San Francisco wind will dry trees too fast so they won't last properly. Besides, it is cold and foggy nmst of the time and can become miser- able work outdoors. ANOTHER innovation in Christ- mas tree production which Nel- don says has gained him a steady trade in the Bay city is the use of price tags on every tree. "Customers can get you mighty confused if .Wu don't have tags on, your trees," he said. "They will i ask the prices on a dozen trees, then finally return to one you had first priced for .them. If you don't', tell then] the same price the sec- ond time, the customers get rather irritated. [ "WITHOUT the tags," he con- I tinucd, "It is hard to remember I whether you told him that tree' would sell for $1.25 or $1.50. With every tree marked, the customers can shop around and pick the tree they want by themselves, and know what they will have to pay for it." Speaking of shrewd customers, Neldon said that the Chinese bought many of his trees in San Francisco, "One old fellow would usually come around and ask the prices on most° of the trees on the' lot, and refuse to read the tags him- self saying that he couldn't read English." Neldon said, "IF HE liked your prices,, the canny .old fellow apparently tbld all the Chinese in the district about ,it and they would come shopping by the hundreds." Neldon will leave for San Fran- cisco again this year in two or three weeks to set up.his business for another short Christmas sea- son. He is planning to cut only about 3,000 trees from his own land this year because of the re,- stable market for Christmas trees• He will buy more from whole- sale dalers if his supply runs low, and if sales aren't too bigh, he won't waste valuable young trees. NELDON looks upon his farn,- ing project as a business, and he docm't believe in taking huge loss- ca. He would rather play safe and ]cave so,no trees for next year. Incidentally, he was amused and somewhat chagrined at the con tro- i versy brought forth each year over tl,c "slaughter of our young for- 1 eats•" I He said that he ,raises hia trees on his own land, and hc practices conservation methods whicll will I give ifim thq,maximum production from the mlfimum land. He feels that "consewatloniSts" who ra,se an ammal wail aren't[ fpllowing truly democratic pr!n- ciples. . ' They wouldn t 'object to a farmer clearing land of trees with' a bull-dozer so be could i'aise his crops---why slmuld they o bjcll to my Using mY land aa I see fit?" he queried.
