Ichnkey Pharmacy’s spotless
city basketball league record had
-a tight squeeze Monday night but
that two-point 25-23 victory over
the L. M. still looks as big in the
: records as the easy ones.
It was the toughest game the
the score see-sawing back
forth through the entire contest.
The league leaders got away to
a seven point lead in the first
quarter but bogged and the L. M.
caught up and passed them, and
once in the final quarter held a
four point lead but couldn’t keep
it.
AlvE Dairy led all the way in a
30 to~13 will over Wilson‘s Cafe.

‘ Immediately following the dec—
laration of war, there was a dc-
cided increase in the demand for
‘workers for war industries, Mrs.

3 Olympia office has been busy re-

l ed and semi—skilled workers it has
who can qualify for the jobs now

(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.”

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

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.
We Help Merrier
Xmas For Soldiers
With the help of Shelton and
Mason County individuals and or-
ganizations, Fort Lewis soldiers,
unable to get home for Christ-
mas, will have a merrier day this
December 25.
That’s because 107 Red Cross
kits, 12 laprobes and two large
boxes of cookies have been sent
to the Fort Lewis field hospital
i from here.
The cookies were baked by 1a-
dies of the Skokomish Home Ec-
onmics club. The kits and lap-
robes were fashioned by numer—
ous different organizations and
individuals.
