PuOlished every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon GRANT C. ANGLE. J. EBER ANGLE Editor Manager ember of Washington NewslPer Publishers' Association NORTHWEST HAS NO INFLUENCE It now looks as though there is no voice or power in the Northwest strong enough to call a halt in the 00?owy expand the Olympic Reserve into a 900,000- acre Lational park," or saddle a park over most of the Cascade ange flora Blltlsh Columbm to the C lure bia River. Gov. Martin has just returned from Washington with the small consolation that the administration doesn't intend to follow the faddists entirely, but will leave a few acres for the benefit of the communities to try to wrest a living from present industry, but with no hope for expansion. The Cascade communities are in the same boat as those around the Olympics, and together must mke a sizeable territory as well as population, and it is passing ,.Uange that there ts nqt enough power • • . . e • • - to mpress the admmlstratmn that our mdustly and labor will no longer stand being robbed of what is rightfully theirs and needed for support. STEADY PAYROLLS NOW AND AHEAD ;h(,lton and those who work in its industries bane good reason to enjoy this Christmas in full measure, since these industries have operated stead- fly throuph more of the year than any of the recent years, arl(l for the six months just closing without a }re:tk I'or strike or any other cause. , :; ,'  , ., ( Ildntltv thele has been more employment an t those who work have earned more money because there tins been no los time; thus this holiday season is, and should be, one of the best in town history with business catering to the needs of citizens and that they have real money to spend. The most encouraging part of the picture at the _e,n-end is that all the local operations so far as now known will continue at about the same speed as dur- ing the last half ot: 1939, and there will be no break in the continuity of the jobs of those who are now working in the mills of Shelton or in the logging camp,. . The State Liquor Board reports a profit of al- most five million dollars for the fiscal year ending Sq)telnber 30, while the total emnings since 1934 ]laVe ami)unted t:o almost wenty-five millibn. Th'e total sales for the past year were slightly over four- teerl arid i)ne-quarter million dollars, but the state doesn't appear to be drinking itself to prosperity. After a fine fall season and a mild winter so far with nothing worse than a week of rainy days to midd)ecember we can still crow about Puget Sound; and possibly will do well to do the crowing before Christmas. rl?he holiday season is showing much more ac- tivity than last year and Snelton merchants are do- ing a good business with their showing of goods for Christmas giving being depleted fast; all the more reason for no longer delaying the shopping. Shelton has the best and largest selection of gift goods ever shown in the home stores, and the prices compare with those anywhere. Today's Journal make,; a full showing of the Chrismassy sales.

Composed of a rangy group of former Junior high players, the club will average around six feet or better in altitude with such young giants as Ray Robertson. Bob Cole, Earl Lumsden, Warren Woods, Herb Johnson, Ken Fred- son, Bob Harris. Ted Van Over- beke and Dave Swenson. Wlllard is keeping the group together as a unit and will use them as his second team this year, unless they develop so q'ast they deserve a chance to see first team action. The outfit has things to learn about defense but has shown quite sn aptitude for pushing that big leather casaba through the iron ring fro" points. That's the import- ant thing for they can be taught defense but a basketball player has to be born with a shooting eye, he can't acquire it. With size such as this group of soplmmores already has, plus a basketball sense and an cye for tlte twine, it just might be devel- oped into something extra special inn prep basketball way. We'll be watching. DRESSING UP At least three of the seven nor- thern division teams of the South- t west basketball conference will unveil new uniforms to the fans in their first games this season. Montesano has natty looking duds of scarlet and white color combination. Raymond will flash out in about as fancy suits as you'll see even barring none of the college uniforms Of this day and age, reports Sports Scribe Gus Asohmd of the Herald in Sea- gulltown. Of satin silk, the uniforms ae all white with red and black trim. The lettering in front, "Raymond" in bIock two and one-half inch letters, is red with black trim. Small numbers on the front are teamed with larger numbers on "the back. The suits are set off with red and black belts. Anti down at Hoquiam where the defending league and state champs hold forth the Grizzlies claim to have the very latest bit of fashion in basketball apparel. ] Coach Elmer Huhta has order- ed new jerseys for his squad which are commonly oalled "T" shirts and have quarter-length sleeves aod crew necks. The shirts will be white with red trim around the slesv¢$ and neck and with red lettering and numbers. ' Tim shirts are thc latest rage for eastern teams.

BEATEN AND PLEASED Srangc as it may :,aund. two hastcetbail coaches right here In Shelton are well pleased with de- feats turned in by their teams tids week in their first tarts of the Eea.9,)n F r a n k Wil]ard's Highclimber8 dropped a torrid 34-29 hoop nod at Bremerton Tuesday night anal brought a smile of satisfaction t0 the coach's fade because of the way the team drove and dishel out the rough stuff av often as it was handed them. Too often of late Shelton teams have been too dObile against clubs which like to mix it up physically, or wlen Ubey tried to play rough themselves did it awkwardly and were as, essed penalties ,as a result. But the Highcllmbers weren't letting Bremerton shove them around a bit. They shoved right back and did it in a man- ncr which didn't bring the whitletooter's wtll too often Willard used 15 players and couldn't criticize the play of a single one. In fact, if he wa., forced to cut down to ten plavers tomob- row he would have to draw from a hat to determine what five out of the lower ten to eliminate. I And then the Hlghclimbers show- cd a willingness to put out what they had, and after all that's all a coacl can ask of his boys. Then there's the case of High Clarl¢, whose junior high cage nquad dropped a 16-10 verdict to the veteran Mary M. Knight Owls Tuesday in Lincoln gym. I Clark feels reasonably assured that h|s youngsters arc going to cut quite a swath against their Junior high rivals Ilk, club has physical size which should not be bettered by any junior high team it meets thl year, along with considerable bas- ketball ability. It's too much to expect the club to even scores with the Owls on the Matlocl floor next Tuesday, but no junior high club Is going to have any easy ttme with this year's Shelton aggrega- tion, and, you can put that down as a prediction to check up on at the ead of the eaaon, • Thursday, December 1:4, ] MURAL IDEA OF WALDO CHASE main supporting timbers wen' ,,f a bent over tree wa,s carved and pLilltt!d* to ca.rry the in rq)ping a shake hl.ycr BASED ON OLD INDIAN HOUSE "totem or family tree of the ,,t.,.r ,le00. ,ts 'mall'S kin slid i(in's kin who 111- lllg TlltLliner of growth. . habited it.
