MYSTERIOUS “RACE SUICIDE”
THREATENS OLYMPIA OYSTER
lnorth of Olympia, he said. but
a lack of labor in the oyster fields
has further complicated matters-
There is no known cause for
the reluctance of the bivalves to
reproduce, although the phenom-
enon has occurred before for
short periods, Dr. Kincaid point-
ed out. 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.
Presence of the drill has been
knewn for some time in the Sam-
mlSh bay region but recently it
has penetrated into the
Olympia fields, he said.

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

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.

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.

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

even grandchildren. Following his
wife’s death he traveled around
the country with his trailer house,
visiting among his children and
being independent until his final
illness, the past summer being
spent at the Ross summer home at
Union.

lia Springs, Texas, in 1860, where
he was married and coming to
Shelton in 1889 with two small
children, others being .born here

LARGE GROUP
OF SELECT EES
A ARE ACCEPTED
I
One of the largest groups of
selectees ever sent from Mason
County went up to Tacoma Tues-
day for examination. 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. Anderson, represent-
ing the Chamber of Commerce, of
the city’s willingness to cooperate
as soon as the Chamber presents
a definite offer.
Mayor Stevenson also announc~
ed the appointment of Dr. Harold
Kennedy as City Health Officer.

Plans to' help solve the shop-
ping problems of defense workers
and woods workers, by staying

are now being laid by local mer-
chants. .

IVIOLATIONS OF
DIMOUT-RULES
MANY IN CITY
Reporting a number of viola-
tions throughout the downtown
area, Lt. Irving, U. S. 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. .
KENT MAN FINED
ON DIMOUT CHARGE
Convicted on a charge of violat-
ing the Army’s stringent dimout

caused the closure of several ply-
wood mills in this vicinity will not
affect the Olympic Plywood Co.
of Shelton, officials of that firm
stated this week.
Although there is a very ser—
ious shortage of logs for some
mills, the local plant is in good
condition and will not be forced
to close down.
SCHOOLB‘OY PATROL WILL BE
HONORED BY ACTIVE CLUB IN
AWARDING or
IDENTITY CARDS
Members of Shelton’s schoolboy
patrol will be the honor guests of
the evening at. the Active Club’s
next regular meeting, Wednesday,
December 2, and will be presented
special identification cards by the

pictures and thumbprints of each
recipient, and serve to identify
him as an official member of the
patrol.
A representative of the State
Patrol from Olympia. will be pres—
cut to give the lads a few pointers
on what they can do to make their
patrol as efficient and capable as
possible. It is, also hoped that
several other prominent speakers
Will be on hand with interesting
messages.
As usual Prof Loop will be am-
ong those present, and it will‘
probably fall to his lot to pass the
cards out to the patrol members,
accompanied by a few pungent
remarks. i

PLANS FOR ACTIVE
SCRAP DRIVE TOLD .
As related in last week's Jour-
nal the Active Club will conduct
Sunday, December 6, commemor-
ating the Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor with a large gath-
Nippon.
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.
