Their plans carried no far- ther than that, in which they hop- ed to so cripple America's navy so that we would be unable to interfere with them in the Orient and their plans for Singapore, Hong Kong and the Philippines. It is a known and certaiu fact that had the Japanese followed up their December 7 attack, they could have picked Hawaii like a ripe plum and would have been botlxered little more in landing on tile United States mainland. THE lesson• of Pearl Itarbor] should be impressiveenough so I that such a thing never happens to us again. Whatever military or nawd leader might be given blame I for the results of that attack it / i• the American people as a whole{ who are at fault for .out' unpre- paredness and they should never allow such undermining of our protective strength again. Ameri- cans have never believed in armies and navies in peacetime and con- gress has denied sufficient money to maintain adequate forces of sufficient size so that orderly in- creases could come in time of em- ergency. Money for mOdernized weapons and techniques have also been denied thd military, bug. with the advent of atomic weapons, guided missles and the like,' and whether we like war or not, the fact remains that we had better be ready to go at a. moments no- I tice for the next such a calamity l as hit this country at Pearl Har- bor will be our last. If Americans think enough of their lives, tradi- tions and posessions they will in- sist that mir country is apace with I every modern development for de- fense and with sufficient, man-' power to properly man such Simpson Asks Locat Support For Seal Sale i Pointing out that the picture re- produced upon the 1947 Christmas seals is based upon a scene once i'amiliar in Mason county, the Simpson Logging Company this week has urged everyone to .sup- port the seat sale which provided fmds for the combatting of tu- berculosis. The logging company pointed out that funds raised by the" saIe of the seals through the anti-tuber- culosis association will provide a portable X-ray unit for preventive work in Mason county e'axly next year. A total of 769 X-ray examina- tions were given to adults and children in the county during the last year. This is the most effec- tive method yet discovered for finding early cases of tubercu- losis which may then be treated and cured within a short time. Kreienbaum Back From Trip East President C, H..

The National Guard recently was given four buildings to use as a drill hall and armory and for the storage of equipment and sup- plies. The State Patrol will take over one building for a permanent training school, transferring its school from'the present rented quarters in Fort Lewis. The bachelor officers quarters on the base axe now being remod- ebed to accommodate approximate- ly 40 men for training courses and refresher courses to be given l- rolmext and available to oilier IR.- lice officers of the stat& 2e move is tentatively set for De. comber 15. ALL THE agencies which have been assigned quarters at the air- port have been, charged no rent, but have merely paid a small init- ial "fee" to make the contracts binding. Dickinson and Heuston have felt that such an arrangement, which at first thought seems to be "los- ing oney" for the county, actual- ly is bringing additional revene to themunicipality, as well as pro- viding a public service.  The /;'ational Guard payroll alone fo'one year will amount to some $50,000. The state patrol and the Shelt0n Air Service pay- rolls, too, will bring considerable cash into, the county annually, they pointed out. UNDER TtlE contracts signed by groups operating in quarters at the ,airport, fire protection and maintenance are provided by the groupsthemselves, eliminating the necessity of the' county paying these costs. The airport, which consists of two 5,000 foot runways four hang. ar buildings and about 30 other buildings, is still owned by the U.S. Navy, with theCounty given nominal, control under a revocable permit providing for the re-entry of the Navy in case of a national emergency The airport covers about 1300 acres, and is worth $2 or $3 mil- lion, according to 'estimates of its original cost to the Navy. THE SHILTON Air Service, which has a license to opete: and maintain the fI3,ing portion of the, airport, has conducted  success- ful air school and flying school since it first began operations I there in 1946.. The school which is recognized' and accredited as a "GI" school by the Veterans Administration, has had. a total of 50 graduates in the private license course and. nine • gSaduates i the c cram e r c i al course. Three have entered the instructor's classes, with one hav- ing graduated already, Lea Tif- fany, head of the Air Service, re- ported.  ThE INSTRUCTION flight• make up about .70 per cent of the total flying time at the field with ' commercial flights completing the balance. Pointing up the large amount of flying done at the field, it was revealed by Tiffany that more than 1,000 outside airplanes bare landed at the field during the first 10 months of this year. Eleven planes operate out of the field regularly, with 12 full-time employees at the air service dur- ing the winter months and another added during the summer, Tiffany said. The average flying time logged by GI students is 22 hours a day during the summer months, plus: no.GI and commercial flights which swell the total. The school. is inspected regularly and' exam- inations are conducted bY the Civil Aeronautics administration. PAENTS OF BOY Mr. and Mrs. C harlie Daugher.. tY,, P.0.
