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.

COMING UP
Notch this on the handle of
your sports gun. fans-.-Frank Wil-
lrrd has a sophomore hoop lineup
in the making which you'll be
hearing from in another year if
they develop the way he expects.
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

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.
