So that work operations in con-
nection with the installation of
parking meters in Shelton shall
not intezffere with traffic and
street decorations during the hol-
iday season, the board of city
commissioners this week directed
the company which was awarded
the contract for the meters to de-
lay installation of the apparatus
until after January 1. Work in
connection with installing the
meters includes the boring of holes
along the curbs to set the pipes
into. The meters are expected to
be installed early in January.

John L. Lewis' coal strike
reached its tenacles out to threat-
en Shelton's industrial life with
the announcement of the national
rail freight embargo. At this late
date it is unknown whether or not
the embargo will effect this area.
but local industry is anticipating
the worst.
The embargo has been invoked
in an effort by the railroads to
conserve coal. Except for a ll#t
of "essential" items, the Interstate

Retail Merchants of Shelton, under
auspices of the Retail Committee of
the Chamber of Commerce, anxious to
create an atmosphere here in keeping
with the Holiday season and spirit,
have made arrangements with a con-
tractor for the decoration of down-
town business sections, with particu-
lar emphasis on both highway entrances
to Shelton, so that visitors may have
a good impression of the community.
In keeping with the holiday motif,
stores have been artistically decorated
and with stocks arranged for close ob-
servation and inspection, clerks and
well trained store staffs await eagerly
compared with adjacent city stores.
Particularly he emphasized the spirit
of helpfulness and service demonstrated
by store clerks, their courtesy and con-
sideration for the desires of the shop-
per.
With shortage of automobile tires
and congested transportation facilities
making shopping trips to distant uoints
inconvenient and uncomfortable, it
hardly seems necessary to ask consid-
eration for Shelton merchants during
this holiday season. Year in and year
out, he stands ready to serve you with
helpful and considerate .merchandising
and this Christmas he has made unus-
ual provisions for the stocking of
everything that might have a place in
the shopping list. Give him a chance,
look over what he has to offer and
you can rest assured that no better
could be done elsewhere.

be held January 15 to 30, accord-
ing to an announcement by T. E.
Deer, newly appointed chairman
of the Mason County Chapter.
The Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis is supported entirely by
March of Dimes funds. In 1946
there were over 23,000 victims in
the United States, the majority of
whom depend solely on the March
of Dimes as the only means of re-

by Mrs. Agatha Darrow, coffee:
shop operator. The dinner, tur-
key and all of the trimmings, was
served with Voyageurs Dr. Ken-
nedy, Harold Lakeburg and wig
Jessup sharing the catwing and
serving honors.
The society announced that
check for $100 will be presented
the Lincoln School P.T.A. group,
the money to be used by the as-
sociation members for the put-
installation of play-
equipment at Lincoln
school piayfield. In addition to
the playground benefit voted by
the 40 & 8, it was announced that
a $10 bond had been purchased
from the anti-tuberculosis organ-
iaztion and that a silver trophy
from the local society would be
awarded the champion junior le-
gion baseball team of the Fourth
Legion district next year.
The last meeting of the 40 & 8
was an outstanding success, large-
ly attended and well in keeping
with the Thanksgiving holiday. A
hospitality hour was held before
the dinner and 'business session.

TIME SHORTENING
TO HELP 'YANKS

With only 17 more days of
Christmas shopping remaining
and fewer shopping days than
that for the American Legion
Auxiliary's "Gifts for the Yanks
Who Gave" drive, auxiliary
members here urge' residents to
cooperate in contributing gifts
for servicemen and veterans
still in service hospitals at
Christmas time.
Gift boxes in which to deposit'
the gifts have been placed at
McConkey's Drug Store, the Fir
Drug Store, Beckwith's and the
Lumbermen's Mercantile.

Mr. and Mrs. Deer and Mrs.
McBride attended a pre-campaign

at which Walter Williams, state
director, was introduced along
with representatives from local
chapters. Plans for the 1947 cam-
paign were outlined at that time.
According to statistics gath-
ered by the organization there

fusion in American homes from[

(disguised under blue and silver'.
[.int and glamorized by elaborate 1
deeorati0ns, while many will be J
trimmed with the symbols of the I
old-fashioned holiday candles, J
pop-corn balls and paper chains.
Mason county residents may be
sure that many of the Christmas
trees all over the United States
will be the same that graced near-
by hills and woods just a few
weeks ago, for the J. Hofert Com-
pany alone, one of the largest of
the tree cornpauies in the area, had
shipped over a quarter of a million
trees from this area.
The Hofert Company, which has
been cutting in this area for the
past 35 years, begins operations
around the first of November, af-
ter the first frost of the year and
continues work from three to five
weeks. The heavy frost drives the
sap into the ground enabling the
trees to remain green for a longer
time after they arc cut.
4000-5000 Benefit Here
According to R. J. Bartholomew,
manager of the Hofert operations
here, though his company em-
ployed only about 130 persons dur-
ing the season, he estimated that
between 4000 to 5000 persons here
were directly interested in the in-
dustry, including truckers and
railroad men.
The first operation in the Christ-
mas tree business is, of course, the
actual cutting of the txces. Trees
cut range in size from two feet
to 45 feet and are first inspected
in the woods for "bushiness," lop-
sidedness and other qualities that
pertain to the value of the tree as
a Christmas decoration.
Thc cutting of so many trees has
been the subject of criticism by
persons uninformed of the manner
and eonditons of growth of the
fir tree. As Mr. Bartholomew ex-
propriately herald the Christmas
shopping season.
The decorations which are con-
tracted to be much the same as
last year, will be set up by a team
which earlier this week decorated
Olympia streets. The evergreen
trim will run along First St., thru
the main section of the city. Rail-
road Avenue and Cots Street will
be the boundary streets of the
decorated arcs rUTlllill" eFtst and
west. Decorations on north-south
streets will begin on First Street
and continue to Fiftl Street.
Shelton's retail stores have had
their yuletide trappings in place
for ten days or longer m some
cases, many store staffs having
decorated well in advance of
Thanksgiving Day this year.
With Thanksgiving out of the
way now, many local merchants
have noted a decidedly inures.ned
tempo in Christmas buying this
week, they report, which only
goes to emphasize their urgings
.to gift hunters to shop early this
year before the supplies of mer-
chandise on their shelves is pick-

be the principle order of business
of the group s next general mem-
hcrship meeting Thursday night,
December 12, at the Hotel Shelton
Coffee Shop. A refreshment hour
will precede the dinner and busi-
ness session.
A nomination committee con-
sisting of J. L. Catto, chairman,
and Charles Somers and Oscar
Lcvin, have made the following
selections as their choice for the
five directors, while other nomi-
nations ]nay be made from the
floor at the nekt meeting. Those
suggested by the committee in-
clude: Charles Seiners, Grapeview
district vintner and vinyardist;
George Andrews, photogTapher;
L. A. Fields, automobile acces-
sory dealer; IV[. H. Needham,
men's clothing store owner; and
James Rousch, Hillcrest Hardware
store proprietor.
The newly elected board of five
directors, whoever they might be,
will retire during the meeting and
by their selection will choose the
new officers for the Chamber of
Commerce to serve during 1947.
S. B. Anderson, president during
the past year, will retire in favor
of the new president. Anderson's
tenure as directing head of the
Chamber has resulted in a fine
record of accomplishment by the
civic group and during that time
the membership has steadily ex-
panded.
Selection of a new president
shall probably be made from
among the two vice-presidents,
Roy Ritner, now so,wing as first
vice-president, and Joe Forrest,
second wee-president.

DRIVING IS DANGEROUS NOW
During these hurried, hectic holiday activities, a
word of caution to motorists seems highly timely to
avoid tragedy on the street always a heart-break-
ing experience but doubly so
during a season so imbued with
joy and happiness as the Christ-
mas holidays.
With the rainy season at
hand, and a cold snap tossed in
occasionally, driving conditions
are anything but favorable at
this time of the year, what with
braldng power of both mechan-
ical and human quality being lessened by street sur.
face conditions.
So, Mr. Motorist, take more than usual care these
festive days of hustle and bustle so that you won't be
he cause of tragedy in some home this Christmas
because your vehicle struck down a pedestrian or a
chool child.
