Local Artists
Take Honors At
Navy Exhibit,
In Bremcrton last week the
Recreation Hall was the Mecca
for artists of the P a c i f i c
’Northwest in the “Navy” exhibit
as sponsored by the government,
and art loving citizens of that
city. 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.

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.

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

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

cipation of the whole, with an
average per cent of wages in

face of an average earnings for.
October, 1941, of $200.60 now
grown to $273.43 for last October.
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.
