Altho some fifty artists, and, many men of the Navy contribut-l ed, and many splendid picturesl were seen, art critics as well asl the Navy rated as the best the} works of young Mr. Taylor of} Bremerton, and two local artists; Waldo Chase and Fritz Dalby of: Shelton. ‘ Mr. Taylor had a very fine as-l sortment of water colors and oilsl on display, as did many of the; other artists and service men in; particular. Waldo Chase needs no} introduction having won a definite 1 and enviable niche in art circles; throughout the United States asI the second Rockwell Kent. The; sale of a large number of his{ wood block prints at the exhibit! alone attests to their popularity? Fritz Dalby was active in arti whil eattending the Shelton highi school. He has won acclaim local-l ly, having had several paintings, all marine on display in Seattle, two of which are in the display window of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, and others in steam—; ship offices. Dr. Rodger Ander~I ‘son, art collector, recently pur—l chased one of his waterfront! scenes. Several others have won! their way into the collections of} sea captains and shipping men, all 1 marine of course, in water colors‘ and oils. Many lovely flower studies were on display, a hundred or so adding to the color effect. Margaret Young of Seattle showed fifty or: more of her own paintings, all ex- cellent in arrangement andfinc in detail. Rated in this group for favorable comment was “Gipsy “” by Ethel Dalby, and Flowers spoken of as being “gay ant1 sparkling.” Too much could not be said as regards the show put on by the sailor artists, and the Navy‘s fine men who displayed a wonderful collection of paintings of their own, revealing that our fightiny men have great talent and gen- ius. as well as considerable cour- age to try to put over such an affair in present chaotic times. And to so successfully put the “Navy” exhibit over. Mrs. John E. VEak Dies In Seattle Seattle, Nov. 20*Mrs. Kathryn Veak, bailiff in United States Dis trict Judge John C.

AA Forest Fires in the Rain . .. It’s the wet season in the timber, west and south. and th e loggers have stowed away their fire protec- tion equipment for the winter. Nevertheless, millions'of Americans are bugging their eyes at the most Wonderful and amazing forest fires ever heard of. Superman‘s millions of Sunday— paper followers arc with him in “the North Woods,” wherever that is. as he hops and snorts in pursuit of the Master Nazi sabotcur, who is rigged up in an asbestos suit and primed to wreck the war effort by burning the forests. Paramount’s most ballyhoocd mo- tion picture of the season is “The Forest Ranger,” in which jealous love burns between Paulette God- dard and Susan 'Hayward over Fred MacMurray right along with forest fires so terrific that they are more scary to the audience than Boris Karloff is. The story is silly, and its presentation of forest rangers will make real rangers very apolo- getic, but the techni-color photog- raphy of the forest aflame is ter- rific. Too bad that it had to be re- leased before next fire season. Stewart Holbrook is writing a book on forest fires, which the Mac- millan Company will publish. A couple of national magazine articles on forest fire themes are also sched- uled. And only the other day there were areas of the woods where it rained four inches in 24 hours. It sort of mixes me up. A Little Road to Victory . . . There’s a real reason for all these new popular presentations on the theme of forest fires. They reflect a sweep of positive popular interest in the subject, with real informed understanding of forest fire devas- tation. This means that we are on the road to victory over a ruthless destroyer, one that has not only de- stroyed existing forest wealth, but has been a barrier to progress in timber growing. It may be a little road of victory, in comparison with the great highway of the United Nations in the war, but it is vital to Oregon and Washington. And unity is the watehword for progress on one as on the other. Simpson Awards (Continued from page 1) U there was plenty of paper money which took a bale to buy a path of shoes, leaving no actual value for property, goods or any form of savings. , Government Saving Safe .He stated that fifty million men with fifty billion purchasing power would relieve the situation in this lush period taking that much from circulation and lending it to the government, the only safe agency for savings, thus avoiding the inflation dangers. and speeding the guns, ships and tanks needed for the war effort. ind speeding the close of war and the savings of lives. Either the government borrows t h r o u g n bonds or takes the money away from earners through highcr taxes; tax receipts or bonds cash— able after? the war for restoring normal life.

The new secret weapon we hear about is nothing but unity on the home front. Joe Hansen Presidos Joe Hanson presided over the session and outlined the bond pro- gram while Chas. Runacres gave details of the showing of the var- ious groups based on their month— ly pay and percentage of bond buying. George Drake spoke of the loss of time in camps through layoffs, and urged working every one of the six days of the week, to avoid the labor turn-over which is cutting down production. Henry Rogers of‘Camp 3 point- ed out that the camp men could "lot shop in Shelton because of iarly store closing' and asked eo- )peration for longer hours. . Virgil Adams of Camp 5 re— ferred to the coming income tax ind Victory tax and stated that the men were thinking about di— viding their surplus between bonds and taxes, and it was explained that the ictory taxwas intend- ed as a art savings which could be in part returned as post .war credit. Mrs. Grace Grawford of Mill 2 explained how she was able to secure 100 per cent subscrip- tion of its employees, by hustling. McCleary crew, the newest group, was also represented at the meet— ing. A summary of bond buyers ani- ong employees of the Simpson Logging Company shows a total of workers in all departments of 1177, with 915 men buying ‘bonds regularly on the deduction from payroll plan which is handled at the office, and 78 per cent parti- cipation of the whole, with an average per cent of wages in bonds of 8.51 for September and 7.76‘ for October. It was becauso of the drop for the last month that the Company is urging a speed up of solicitation of sales by the various committees, on the SHETJTQNrMASON.

The highest average was for the Joint Power at 15.67 per cent and the lowest 3.51 on construction, due to labor turnover. HOSPITAL PATIENT Carolyn Amell, daughter of-Mr. and Mrs. Frank Amell of Hoods- port, was received at the Shelton Hospital on Tuesday for medical treatment. The real start was made right here in the Paciiic Northwest. in the spring of 1940. w ll c n the K c c p Washington Green program was set going. it was formed by the State Division of Forestry in cooperation with forest industry associations and the American L e g i on and other E 1' o u p 5 representing the general public. A Keep Oregon Green can“- paign was started in the same year. The results of three years of uni— fied statc-industi'y—public Cillu‘t 10 reduce popular ignorance andcul‘e- lessness in relation to the forest lire are reflected in the record of Wash- ington fires for three years. There were 2000 forest fires from 1,562 in 1941, and just 842 in 1942. In— cendiary fires dropped from 239 to 145 to 54; fires caused by campers from 123 to 87 to 17; 'by smokers from 641 to 318 to 207~a11 figures according to the state forcstor’s re— port. Oregon had an even greater drop in man-caused fires this year. It was a rainy summer. there were fewer tourists and campers. but it was really the. informed cooperation of the forest-using public that made the record. A National Proposition . . . The “Keep Green” programs in the two states began to get national attention as early as 1940. Other state forestry departments follpwed the pattern. Movie producers, radio networks, e a st 6 r n magazine and newspaper editors, and book pub- lishers heard of what was going on and began to inquire. A nationally known author and journalist, Stew- art Holbrook. was director of Keep Washington Green, and he had great -. influence in focusing the interest of top editors on the forest—fire prob- lem in the Pacific Northwest. Pre- viously they had only known in a general way about forest fires on Federal lands. Our home folks and our visitors have, with all the publicity, become much more forest-fire conscious, and . therefore careful with fire in the summer woods. We can really begin to hope to keep Oregon and Wash- ington green.
