Climate and water tem- peratures may have something to do with it, he believes. A second enemy, imported from Japan several years ago with a load of seed oysters, is a tiny sea .animal, Japanese drill, which bores into the shells and kills the oyster.

This rich ISIAIPSON MILLS I WIN TREASURY BOND BANNERS The Simpson Logging Company held its third dinner meeting at the Hotel Shelton Monday to “pep” up the bond sales among the 1,200 employees of the camps, mills, railroad, shops and booms to meet the urgent call of the treasury department for ten per cent voluntary subscriptions from wages. Eighty leaders of the var- ious departments were present to enjoy the dinner, the presentation of banners to the ten per cent groups, and a lively address by Carl Richards, of Seattle, repre— senting the treasury. Banners Presented ' Minute man banners, represent- ing ninety per cent personnel par- ticipation in bond purchases were presented to the following groups: John Tice for the booms; Ben Peckham for the railroad; Elroy Nelson for Mill 1 and W. L. Work- man for Mill 2. Service flags were also given for mounting on the company buildings bearing stars and the “T”, indicating bond buy- ing to tWelve per cent of payroll. While these divisions were.even ahead of the national call the other parts of the operations were far behind in spite of the efforts of the company to meet the gov- ernment demand and this was] holding back the ten per cent par- ticipation record for the whole. Richards Talks Mr. Richards in his talk point- ed out that the national income had increased from 941/2 billions in 1941 to 120 billions for this year, with most productive capac- ity turned to war, leaving limited balance the government hopes will be put into bonds and stamps as savings against the end of war and the uncertain days to follow. The impending danger is infla- tion which the government plan hopes to forestall by absorbing all surplus funds over the family needs. The speaker referred to his experience in Germany and France after the last war when (Continued on Page Three) \ Liquor Ration Cards Are Now Issued Locally. Ration. cards permitting the purchase of one quart of' hard liquor a week are now being issued to prospective customers in Shel- ton‘s state liquor store. Stores Were authorized to re— sume issuance of regular liquor purchasing permits-which had been stopped for more than a week. The,new card, ‘which expires on ,September 30, 1943, says: “This :card, presented with the individ— lual permit bearing the same num- ber and signature listed below in the oath, entitles the legal own- er to make one purchase a week. of the amount or less designated by the Washington State Liquor Control Board. The allowance is not cumulative. Notice: Perjury in the state of Washington is a crime and punishable by impris- onment in the state penitentiary." The present allowance is one quart or two pints a week. Local Red Cross Gets Message To ' German Int-ernee Extending his thanks to the local chapter of the American Red Cross and to Mrs. Eula Martin for their efforts, Chris Curtis, proprietor of Mac’s Cor- ner Tavern, announced this week that he had received word that his messages had finally reached his sister who is in a German concentration camp in Vosges, France. Several months ago the Jour- nal printed a letter which Mr. Curtis had received from his sister, Mrs. Prudential Batley, telling of her life in the con centration camp. Since that time Mr. Curtis has tried every available means of letting his sister know that he had received her message. The state department and other government agencies were un- able to help him so he applied to the local chapter of the Red Cross. This week Mr. Curtis received another letter- from his sister informing him that she had re- ceived his message, the first to come to her from the, outside world. The letter was mailed on August 14. AUTOLICENSE REGISTRATION BEGINS SOON The citizenry, or that part own- ing and operating automobiles, have yet another hurdle to face in federal and state regulation and paying before they can cele- brate Christmas cheerfully, and that is registering for the 1943 auto license, including the fee which will be slightly higher for next year. The registration will be open at the County Auditor’s office on Tuesday, December 1st, and owners are urged to apply as early as possible to avoid the last hour rush with the dying year. Keep Old Plates K There will be no license plates issued for 1943 and the old num- bered plates will be retained by those who have them while new plates will go only to those who have lost or damaged their old plates. Hence, the plate numbers will mean little, as the new “sticker” numbers will be issued. in consecutive order, and be plac- ed on the lower left windshield. (Continued on Page Two) Joseph B.

Pigeons Cause Power Shutoff In North Area Four inquisitive pigeons, who rapidly became dead pigeons, caused a 50-minute power shut— off throughout all the city area north of Franklin Street, Tues- day evening, when they flew in- to power lines in front of Wiv- ell’s Texaco Station. The bird’s entanglement in the lines caused one line to hit another, blowing out fuses and causing quite a flash of light. The accident occurred at ap- proximately 5:45 in the evening with the lights coming back on about 6:30. Bremerton, and a daughter, Mrs. June Ross of Port Orchard, also three daughters elsewhere and e1- even grandchildren.

Although a list of those accepted was not available as the Journal went to print, reliable sources estimated that over 50 had been accepted for military service. These men come under the new days induction ruling allowing only five furlough before actual 'into the army takes place, so they will leave Shelton next Monday to begin their training. Another Group Going It is expected that another large group will go up for ex- amination before the first of the month, cleaning out the last of the single men available in this area, and calling for the drafting of married men without children in the near future. A DRAFT EXEMPTS i 45-YEAR-OLDS The selective service board last week received a telegram from headquarters declaring that no men who have reached the age of 45 years since they registered for the draft are to be inducted. Changes are being made in se- lective service regulations exempt- ing men over 45 years from serv- ice, despite the fact they were under 45 when they registered. The board was told to not send 45-year—olds who are under ord- ers of induction. Miss Marjorie McLean, draft board clerk, said the telegram contained nothing to indicate whether or not 45-year-olds al- ready serving in the army would be returned to civilian life. He said several men registered with the local board are affected by the new order. Royal Air Fin; Shown at Kiwanis Club This Week The Kiwanis Club feature for Tuesday was a 2-roll motion pic- ture filmed of the actual service of the Royal Air Force in Bri- tain in a bomber raid on a Ger- man town, which was most real- istic and illustrated the hard- ship as well as the excellent team work of the air force. The, film was arranged for by Homer Tay- lor, who has been called to service and is now at Air Force Training Center at Santa Ana, Calif. Next Tuesday’s session will be a "Ladies Night” with Prof. Ver- non McKenzie, dean of the school of Journalism at the State Uni- versity, nationally known as an author and traveller, who will speak of his several years of ob- serving in Germany and around Europe, his contacts with their leaders and common people, and his opinions of’ the war. Several years ago he published a book warning of war with Germany in 1940, a guess which seems to have been proven. Holidays Cause Library To Hold Over Book Week Book week at the Shelton Lib- rary has been held over another week because of the holiday. Now on display are around 40 adult volumes and 82 juveniles. The most interesting adult book to Shelton is» a volume of poems en- titled “Another England” by Dilys Bennett Laing. Mrs. Laing is the sister of John Bennett of Shel- ton. The critics speak of Mrs. Laing’s volume as “A first book of sensitive and often incentive verse." They prophesy that she will take a prominent place in American literature some day. The library is especially attrac- tive now that the Shelton Garden Club decorates it each week. The Thanksgiving motif, the work of Mrs. Walter Kullrich, is very at- tractive. Everyone should visit the lib- rary while these displays are on. Chamber Requests Extra Policing Offering to contribute to the additional expense entailed, the merchants of Shelton, through the Chamber of Commerce, have re- quested the city council to furn- ish additional policing for the dur- ation for the business district. The merchants also requested that the existing curfew law be en-‘ forced. Mayor William Stevenson in- formed S. B.

Mayor Stevenson also announc~ ed the appointment of Dr. Harold Kennedy as City Health Officer. MARRIAGE LICENSES OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER PROF.

Army, dimout inspector for the Olympic Peninsula, appeared before the Mason County War Council Mon- day evening to ask for better cooperation from this area In the dimout effort. Lt. Irving stated that in an in- spection of just a small part .of the downtown area he had listed 19 violations of various sections 12 in regard to dimouts. Most common violation Lt. Irving said, was the failure of merchants to shade below the level of interior lighting. Lt. Irving explained that though he has no authority to warn or arrest dimout violators, all in- fractions of regulations are noted and sent in to army headquarters. He warned that should the army find that civil handling of the problem was failing, they might. be forced to step in. Mayor William Stevenson an- nounced that the city council now has under consideration an ordi- nance which would give city police the power to enforce dimout regu- lations by making arrests. How- ever all violators will be warn- ed in writing before any prosecu- tions take place. Cities throughout the state have adopted or are considering similar ordinances in order to clarify the legal status of Gen. DeWitt’s or- ders. .

George Gilmore, drive chair- man, announced that the pickup will get under way at 9 am. Sunday. Persons having scrap are urgently requested to have it out on the corner ready for the sal- vagers. The experience in past drives has shOWn that often house- holders will not get their scrap out until the pickup men have past them by. Trucks have been definitely as- signed to clean up several large scrap piles on Capitol hill, which were left after the last drive be- cause of a shortage of trucks to pick them up. ._-._ m... -_-—«o—.—tfi another city-wide scrap drive on- ering of scrap to throw back at
