NEEDHAM FOOD STORE in EMPLOYMENT OEElcE GOING " ‘ALL OUT FOR DEFENSE WORK} l SATURDAY —— Prep basketball, 7 ‘ ball,, 7:30 p.m., Lincoln gym, 2, in and The Olympia office of the Wash- i lllgton State Employment Service' ,i wil‘, go “all out" to Secure thei workers needed to step up the na- tion’s war effort, Manager Alice 1 I. Holenius told the Shelton MasonI 1 County Journal today. ‘ Immediately following the dec— laration of war, there was a dc- cided increase in the demand for ‘workers for war industries, Mrs. l Helenius said. There has been no and the 3 Olympia office has been busy re- * checking its files to see what skill- l ed and semi—skilled workers it has who can qualify for the jobs now i open. .1 “We have checked our files be- } fore," Mrs. Helcnius said “and this ; time we are overlooking nothing i, that will enable us to secure the 1 workers that are needed. have ‘, plenty of unskilled laborwwe need l skilled and semi~skillcd workers in ’ practically all trades." , Persons desiring work 1’ industries 7 lletup in this demand. in war are asked to contact the Olympia office of the State Employment Service before they i start looking for work. Each Em- ployment Service Office is kept fully informed of employment pos- sibilities through the department‘s clearance system. i Some of the orders which the 2 State Employment Service has i for war industrv workers are: Surface Grinders Machinists " Tool and Die Makers Tool Designers Arms Plant Foremen Machine Men Detail Draftsmen 1 Tool Inspectors . Tool Makers Jr. Marine Engineers Jr. Naval Architects In addition to these jobs the Employment Service is looking for salesmen 18 years of age and older who can start work immed- iately at $100 a month. No sell- ing experience is necessary to accept this work. Some of the oth- or jobs are for a farm hand, a 2 bus boy and a young man with ex‘ . pericnce as a mechanical drafts— man. There are still openings in a na- tional defense training school for young men between the ages of 18Iand 40 who are desirous of se- curing frcc training in the aircraft industry. For further information regard- ing these jobs and other work op- portunities call at the Olympia , office at 522 Capitol Way or phone i 7779. A representative of the State Employment Service is at the court house in Shelton every Tuesday from 8 in the morning un— Itil 4 in the afternoon, or should, any one call in Olympia the ad‘ dress is 522 Capitol Way. Les—Erifallet (Continued from Page Our) New Bedford, Mass. and near— ing the end of a 22,000 mile maiden voyage from South Africa heavily ’, laden with cargo of wool, ores andi lconcentrates worth more than a million dollars, the Hood Canal man related. The ship itself was sold for $2,270,000 after its launch- mg. The. Oregon, said, would have been able to make port under its own power but for the storm forI it was constructed with six water- ltight sections any two of which kept intact would have been suf— ficient to keep the ship afloat. “We were rammed in the No. Icargo hold (second hold from the Ibow) and our bow was complete-l ‘ly under water,” he explained,’ “but we were making good head- way until that storm got us and l 1 heads to give ." i : Lifeboat Launching Dangerous Launching lifeboats in a storm is one of the hardest and most dangerous jobs of the sea as the small boats have to be pulled clear of the ship as soon as they hit the water so they won’t be dashed to pieces against the sides of the ship by the waves. “That’s ‘how the one lifeboat was capsized.” Mr, Vallet explained. “It hit the water just as a big wave hit the side of the ship and rolled back into the lifeboat, fill- ing it with water.” The Oregon‘s captain, who was a close friend of Mr. Vallet’s, the two having also served together for several years in the same cap- acities aboard the 14,000-ton Clevedon owned by the same com— Ipany, was in the capsized life— lboat and was caught beneath it, but he was able to escape, being a strong swimmer. However, he was so exhausted when rescued that he didn’t have strength enough to put the life line thrown him around his body, but did man- age to coil it around his wrist and so was pulled to safety. He wasl unconscious for several hours af- terward, however. Promoted After Accident It’s an ill wind that doesn’t blow someone good, however, as out of the sinking of the Oregon Mr. Vallet and the captain b‘oth re- ceived promotions, Mr. Vallet to the, position of assistant port en- gineer for his company at New York, the captain as pilot at the mouth of the Columbia River. Mr. Vallet leaves for New York immediately after New Year Day ' to report for his new assignment, although he expects to be called into active service for his country before very long inasmuch as he holds a lieutenant’s commission in the Naval Reserve. “Yes, it was ironic that we sail— ed safely 22,000 miles thru dan- gerous war zones where other merchant ships were being sunk all around us by submarines and then to sunk ourselves within 40 miles of port by an accident like that,” Mr. Vallet concluded, "especially such a fine new ship as the Oregon in times when the country needs every ship it can i get.” I TREATED, RELEASED Charles Somers of the St. , Charles Winery at Grapeview was admitted to Shelton hospital on Monday for medical care and re— leased yesterday. ‘currently puzzling Coach Frank pharmacists have had so far withl evidently forced the other bulk- , SHELTON-MASON COUNTY JOURNAL . CLIMBERSPLAYING POOREST BALL AT HOME; LOSE AGAIN Shelton Hopes To Break Complex Saturday When Centralia Comes To New Gym One of the mysteries deeper Willard is why his Highclimber basketeers seem to play their poorest games on their home floor. Last night brought another ex- ample as the Highclimbers, after giving as good as they took for the first quarter, folded up like a tent in a hurricane while losing a 51 to 16 verdict to the Lincoln Abes of Tacoma. Shelton scored half its points in the opening canto as the Abes, barely squeezed by to lead, 9 to 8, l but in the second quarter the Highclimbers garnered but one lonely foul shot and duplicated the performance in the final round; In the meantime, the visiting Abes scored at will to lead at half, time, 27 to 9, and at the third rest period, 36 to 15. True, the Abes were making good on a healthy propor- tion of their frequent casts at the‘ basket, but the Highclimbers went to pieces both on defense and offense. Their floor game was good but outside of Warren Woods 1 none of the home club lads could‘ find the range on the twine. Woods ran up ten of Shelton’s 16 points. In the preliminary the Abes al-i so posted a lopsided triumph, 48 to 14. The Highclimbers tackle one more practice opponent before en- tering their northern division southwest conference scheduler when they entertain the Centra-i lia Tigers of the southern division of the same conference Saturday night in the new Shelton gym. The Highclimbers won a one- point victory at Centralia two weeks ago. 1 Last night’s lineups: FIRST TEAMS Lincoln (51) Shelton (16) “hot” and i l . ment play, I Chase 2'! Shelton Machine Repair. , ! Scrap Iron Sale l l Farm Necess1tlesl __ l The challenge of increasingl production of some commodities and the proposed drastic decrease in farm machinery production for’ 1942 means that the farmers can benefit by doing two things ati the present time, reports Bert Rau, chairman of the local U.s.D.' A. Defense Committee. First, re- pair all farm machinery right away as parts maybe impossiblel to get later on. Second, dispose of any old scrap iron so that it might be used for further produc-I tion. ' Farm machinery has a priority rating of A-8. This only means, however, that after all armament, needs are met farm machinery production will get its share with all other essential defense indus- tries. Farm labor shortage and a probable shortage of needed equipment means farmers will have to do morerexchanging of! labor and machinery. Start right now to prepare for this condition by getting your machinery in tip-top shape and under shelter. More machinery rusts away than is worn away.

Works Projects List Is Sought While others are concerned with getting well started on a vic- torious road in the war, the Ma- son County Planning Council last night, at its monthly meeting, turned its first attention to things to be done in a post-war period. Discussion was introduced to the largest turnout of the coun- cil membership since last spring for drafting a list > of which coilld be developed as pub he works over a six-year basis after the war boom bursts. Com- plete figures insofar as possible on costs of such projects would have to be worked out, Council ex- plained. No definite projects were sug- gested to start off the list, the matter being left with the mem- bership to think over between now and the next meeting. L. D. Hack and E. J. Wright of Grapeview, new appointees to the council, attended the meeting. Some discussion was also bent on the mine-to-market road pro- ject in the Olympics which would tap valuable ore resources.
