He advised combining early mail- ing with use of "Do Not Open Be- fore Christmas" notes or stickers on packages and envelopes. Lincoln anticipates even heav- ier mail loads this Christmas than during the record-breaking 1946 holiday season. HE SAID that local postoffices across the nation are already pre- paring for this peak load by re- cruiting extra mail clerks and car- riers, collecting and overhauling delivery trucks, and oiling up the stamp cancellation machines. The ' local postofftce "has ,al- ready done a large part of its own Christmas shopping by laying in supplies of many thousands of dol- lars worth of stamps," he an- nounced. "We would appreciate it if peo- ple would stop in next week and purchase the extra stamps they are going to eed for their Christ- mas cards and letters," he said. "This is one phase of Christmas shopping that can be completed early, and it will help us a great We .can give thanks every moment for the fact that ours is such a bountiful land, There may not be as much of everything as some of us might like  but just as the turkey has only two drumsticks, there's a limit in other things too. So, we're practical, and substitute what there is plenty of to stretch what there's little of. And if we don't buy more than we need, or heap our plates with more than we can comfortably eat, we can give thanks for this land's capacity to share with others. There may be times when' we in America may have tc  tighten our belts a notch  but let's remember there are still millions of our neighbors who haven't got a belt other than a piece of string to tighten  who haven't had a full course meal in years!

He em- phasized that zone numbers should: be included whenever tvailable to speed delivery. • Parcel post packages cannot be accepted unless they are stoutly wrapped, he said. "This means heavy cord, sturdy outer paps', and heavy cardboard inside. Pack- ages must not exceed 70 pounds in weight, and are limited in size to 100 inches in length and girth com- bined." Christmas cards can be handled more readily if they are tied in btmdIes, with all the envelopes fac- ing the same way and the stamps in the same corner. Progressive mailings over a period of several days evens out the work at the post office, he added. Speedy Drivers George N. Adams, of Hoods- port, took a leading role in the two-day conference of more than 200 representa- tives of 23 Indian tribes from Washington, Oregon a n d Idaho which was held in Nes- pelem last week. Speaking as president of the senior Indiau organization in the district, Adams favored consolida- tion of all tribes in the area into one federation. The plan-was tentatively adopt- ed, with a constitution approved by the conferees to be submitted to various tribal councils for final approval. TNE NEW federation will be known as the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians, and will in- clude the previous 15-tribe North- west Federation of American In- dians in the region. The federation plan was adopted after its proposal by older tribe Ill cuss00ET; JD00ion City, Will MAY BEYOUR ,VAU.LTI00@Iac e School ON DRIVER.SIGNALS Next time you cuss a metorist' for failing to signal a turn take a second look and see If maybe you don't deserve the cnssing yourself.

Directors Nolan Mason and Wright Carlson presented archi- tect's plans for the building at a public meeting in the Union school Sunday• The meeting endorsed the plans presented by the directors and in- structed them to proceed with pre- liminary details necessary to set- ting up the project for contract bids• MASON EXPLAINED the dis- trict had been unable o obtain state funds to supplemenffthe $32,- 000 building fund voted in Septem- ber, 1946. He said it would be at least two years before the state Tuesday was on order for nearly two years by the PUD, and when it was finally delivered the price was nearly twice the cost quoted when it was ordered, Danielson said. At least 72 new customers will be served by the PUD with the final connection of the new lines on the Island. The actual cable laying was speedily and efficiently carried out by Roy J. Kimbel and his Yacht Gypsy, aided by a crew of line- men from the utility district. MAURICE NEEDHAM and W. L. Jessup, editor of the Jomal, witnessed the cable installation as guests of Kimbel, but the oc- casion caused little stir among Harstine residents.

A two-column picture of Abey- ta appeared in the Tuesday eve- ning edition of the "Seattle Times sports pages. His only sis-call in the 20 games listed in the guest- guesser finals was the Maryland v i c t o r y over Vanderbilt. He called Northwestern's upset vic. tory over Illinois which tripped up the other two contestants. , "I must have been a little hasty picking that Maryland-Vanderbilt game," Abeyta told a Times rep- resentative. "I'm sure if I'd stud- ied that one a bit I'd have called it the other way."

STORES IN Shelton will remain open until 8 p.m, on the .day of the 'Christmas open house Decem- ber 5. New stocks of merchandise, and Christmas decorations will be displayed by each store, it was reported. Shelton merchants are stressing the "Shop in Shelton" theme this year, pointing out that local stores offer the same merchandise as big- ger cities, and often at lower costs, because of lower overhead here than in metropolitan shopping cen- ters, F. E. Beckwith, reported. Lines are complete, and the locaI men ask only that Shelton shop- pers "look around here first," be- fore going elsewhere to buy. The Shelton stores will be open until 6 p.m. every night in the weeks following their opening, and plan to remain open until 8 p.m. on the Monday before Christmas, according to Miller.

Havens said that there was ap- proximately $50 to $100 missing from the store Saturday morning. The back door which was pre- viously closed was found open the following morning. The door could not be unlocked from outside. Simpson Gives 1,600 Turkeys To Employees More than 1,600 plump Thanks- giving turkeys were distriSuted to employees this week by the Simp- son Logging Company in contin- uance of a practice started 27 years ago by the late Mark E. Reed. Turkeys were given to all mar- ried employees and heads of tam- flies working in Simpson offices and plants here at McCleary, Grisdale and Seattle. Distribution of the Packaged birds, whose combined weight ex- ceeded eight tons, was handled by the meat department of the Lum- bermen's Mercantile, with Bob the tile-walled machine shop to follow in a few days. The wrecking company expects to have a full crew of about 12 men on the Job beginning Monday and they plan to finish the Job in about three weeks• Six men from Seattle are now engaged in pre- liminary work on the wrecking job. All brick, tile, timbers, sashes and other building material will be salvaged, according to spokes- men for the company. Salesman E. Knight and Foreman F. Selwarz are in charge of the ac- tual operations. The contrast for the wrecking job was let by the Simpson Prop- erty Development division, and plans for a new office and mer- chandise development on the site of the old buildings are now being made. Civic Center Is Approved By Jaycees Here Final approval of the proposed plan to provide a civic-youth cen- ter in Shelton was given by the Shelton Junior Chamber of Com- merce at its meeting Tesday eve- ning at the Colonial House. Approving a report from Chair- man Ed Lowell of the administra- tion sub-committee that there is a great need for such a project ald' thai'the town could support a larger civic center, the club members voted to undertake the tremendous responsibility of se- curing a new civic building. Further action on the project will be tmdertaken with study by the promotion sub-committee of the .best methods for providing funds to build the civic center. Concrete action is expected within a few months. THE JAYCEE m e e t i n g at which the important first step in the new civic project was taken was described by President Oene Burgoyne as "the best meeting in the club's history." Preceding the report by Lovell, a special speaker; Irv Stimson, National Director of the Junior Chamber for Washington state, told the local members of ways to improve their club. Stimson, a well-known Seattle man, stressed administration and other activities which can best be accomplished by committees with- in the organization, HE PRAISED the Shelton club for its fine showing since its or- ganization last spring, and indi- cated that Shelton is "in the run- ning" for the award of the club of the year in Washington.

The conference was called by the Rev. Wayne Wright and Lylc O'Dell representing the VFW" and in O'Dell's case, the County Cam- missioners also, in an effort to reduce speed law violations near school zones. Talking with Chief Claude.Hay. ens of the Shelton police and Of- ficer Cecil Clark, who is the of- ficer assigned to school protection patrol duty in the city, the men reached the conclusion that the best way to stop speeding in re- Stricted zones is to begin an ex. tcnsive arrest campaign. O'DELL promised that similar action /fll be taken by the Sher- iff's office for school• zones and other reduced speed areas outside of Shelton in order to help elim- inate the menace of speeding driv- ers. The men pointed out that many local drivers fail to observe the 20 mile limit in school zones, and they cited the example of the child who was recently struck by Srn auto in the Beverly Heights district when the driver failed to reduce his sped in a 35-mile zone. The officers wamed that the speed limits apply to special-haz- ard areas near schoolsand busy intersections, whether or not signs are visible warning the driv- er of the danger• ' Drivers arrested speeding thru a school'zone will be assessed the I maximum penalty, they promised, I and there will be no "overlooking' I of violations by tim police, ' I The police too have children in [ school who"are being endangered, ' leaders in order to assure unified opposition to proposals which are unfavorable to Indian interests.

MASON COUNTY GI'S IEPORT IN FROM AUSTRIA • A short letter from Linz, Aus- tria, reveals that two Mason (.ounty beys are stationed there Wlih "; the U.S. Army Sibmal Cerps. The letter was written by Bob W. Smith, of Lilliwaup, who reported that Charles Fergmon from Shelton Is also in his cora- l)any. Smith said the sigml corps Is "not too bad.

"While we would like to have the state's help, it is with consid- erable pride that we are going ahead on our own," Mason told the school patrons. "We will hope that in two more years it will be pos- sible to get aid which will lead to further improvements." DIRECTORS said the present building will be moved to another position on the school site to serve as a gym and community hall. Mason said the school board will proceed with the new structure just as fast as approval of build- ing plans comes from various state authorities, including the State De- partment of Public Instruction alad the State Health Department.

Atomic Dangers Told At Sports Club Dinner A tremendous turn-out of interested sportsmen and people who Were "just interested" was reported following the banquet of the Mason County Sports and Skeet Club last Saturday night. Although only 100 plates were originally planned for, more than 124 were served and others were turned away, Kenny Frank, who was in charge of the banquet, report- ed The banquet was tle final cele- bration of the winners in the re- cent predator hunt contest, in which Frank's team came out on top. Prizes were awarded to the high scorers as part of the pro- gram that night. TIlE MAIN speaker of the eve. ning, Clarence Pautzkc, fish bio- logist for the State Fish and Game department graphically de- scribed the dangers of atomic war- fare as he had observed them at the Bikini atom bomb test in July of 1946. Fish samples taken in all parts of the lagoon were examined for radio-activity, ahd it was found that the contamination had spread from a small area around the blast in 1946, to the whole 400 square miles of the lagoon a year later. The tests also showed that the most dangerous radiation was de- cayhg at such a slow rate that Bikini will be uninhabitable for at least 100 years. TlIIS RADIATION has the power to affect che hereditary characteristics passed on from parents to their offspring, and as a result, Pautzke pointed out, many fish are now belng produced in Bikini which are badly dr. formed, and others have tmdoubt- cdly died as a result of faults in their growth processes. Similar results have been found in the growing of earn seed which was exposed to the radiation at Bikini,he said, and further evi- dence f the disastrous effects on succeeding generations has begun to appear in children recently boru in Japan of pareuts who were in the bomb areas )f Naga- saki and Hiroshima. There is no doubt that the same damage would bc permanently visited upon any other area which might 'be exposed to atomic rad- iation as the result of u war, and on all the surrounding area where winds or waters could carry the contaminated materials into food and water supplies of the p0pula- tion.
