SHELTON 221S. 2nd Phone 66 Will Go To Rainier I Northwest_,. Fir For Winter Caml)ing Area Production The Tumwater Area Council of I'll1 the Boy Scouts Amorica 00iil ver 1946 have a winter camp and sci party Lumber production in the Dons- for Senior Scouts this week-end. Here's a little more about agination. It was evoked by the las fir region of Western' Oregon The group of boys from this George Grabby, also called the hero, the boss of it all. and Washington is estimated at area, who must be 15 and hold a Senior Scout certificate, will be led by Melvin Lightele, ski expert and winter camp leader from the council. The group will leave December 27 for Mount Rainier and will stay there until December 30, accord- ing to Max Jensen, assistant Scout executive in the area. lIE SAID that the cost of the trip will be $2 for transportation and the Senior Scouts will be re- quired to bring their own food. He suggested that units from each troup combine to buy enough food for their unit and be prepared to take care of their own cooking. Since the group will be limited, Jensen uggested that eligible boys interested write to the Area Council headquarters for registra¢ tion at once. He referred them to a bulletin which has been sent out. Our fondest wish is that the laurels of hap- piness and peace . , , wreath your home this Christmas! PANTORIUM CLEANERS & TAILORS 215 S. 2nd Phone 86 High Red, a famous walking boss of the Wdstern construction camps of 40 years ago. In the last column I noted that a large crew of able specialists followed him around the country, always "workin' for the High Red" and only incidentally for the out- fits that provided the payrolls. My first night in the High Rod's camp is never to be. forgotten. The talk I heard carried back as far as the building of the Union Pacific, even to the days of the Waddell overland freight, with its outfit of sixty thousand mules 4nd oven, an army of bullwhackers and jerkline skinners, and the wagon master as king of the trail I LOOKED on Paddy the Devil, Grabby's machine skinner, a fighter who .had been locked in the back room of a Shoshone, Ida- ho, saloon with seven men the pre- vmus summer, for a finish fight. He had come out the victor in an hour and fifteen minutes. I heard the voice of Wingy Magavern, Grabby's hard- rock boss, who had blasted tunnels and cuts on every big railroad job from the Northern Pacific on. A little old man whose left arm had been blown off, hb was yet respected and feared for her repu- tation of packing primed dynamite sticks in a coat pocket when on the road or in town. A mean man to monkey with. TIIERE WERE manys other with storied names. All were proud men of work, a picked tribe of labor. A knoll rose in the trampled camp yard. There the High Red always squared away when he sounded the call to work. In a clear, cold autumn dawn I stood back and watched him. Around the camp the sagebrush desert was an unbroken gray sweep to all horizons. The. camp was a speck of human life in that Vastness, yet it was somehow grand to me in the solitude. The High Red shouted, "All out, you savages!" in a voice with the ring of a hammered anvil. tIIS RUGGED men marched to the call. The hard-rock dynos headed out for the powder cache and ta the blacksmith shop for hammers and steel. From'the cor- rals trace, chains jingled and chesty oaths roared amid the clamping beat of shod hoofs on the hard earth. It was the color and music of a mighty life. I had experienced the like in other camps, but never with such magic of awakenedim, [ERRLY CHRISTMAS! To All Our Friends It's our pleasure to wish yot one and all much happiness, May all your fondest hopes and dreams come true in the year to come , . . ma, your Christ- mas be the best ever. Our very best wishes--our most sincere thanks to you for yotr appre- ciated patronage, SHELTON ELECTRIC B. W. SOPER Govey Building He gave me a job. It was the same old job that had so sickened me with work for the past year in other camps--a boy's job of greasing dump wagons and pack- ing drinking water. IN GRABBY'S camp it was a particularly hard job, for the crew was unusually large, and wagon-greasing was work that water boys were seldom ordered to do. In most other outfits the skinners greased their wagons on their own time. But that was not for the High Rod's men. I packed water, and jacked up wheels between trips, without a slack minute from morning till night. I kept hard at it, the more so when I learned that the job had killed off, as the saying goes, a dozen of more kids in the past few months. I worked for the favor of the High Red. And I" got it. When winter came and some of the stakey skinners quit the camp, Grabby tried me on a three-up wagon team. I satisfied him. And I followed him for the next three years, on jobs that ranged from Montana to California. Much of the heroic glamor of the High Red vanished for me in that time, but he remained hi my eyes a great man of his kind, a boss with the bark on. My debt to him was great. Under his hard hand I grew into a man. General Sends Best Brig. General L. H. "Woody" Sanderson in a Christmas greeting to The Journal asked that his greetings for the season be ex- tended to all of his old friends of this area. The former Shelton boy, whose mother and other relatives still live here, gained fame as a marine corps aviator in the fighting around Guadalcanal dUring the critical days of the Pacific war. He was a Shelton visitor a few months ago and reports that he is now Deputy Commander to Ma- jor General Woods of the First Marine Air Wing at E1 Toro 1[ San- ta Ann) California. The general and Irs. Sanderson now live at .Corona Delmar, California. JOHNNY'S PLACJ t)LD TO ItOODSPORT COUPLE Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Wolcott pur- chased Johnny Boyce's eating es- tablishment at Hoodsport this past week. They plan to do some re- modeling and will open for busi- ness soon. The Wolcotts are ex- perienced in the restaurant busi- ness and at one time worked at the Olympic Inn on Hood Canal. Johnny's place is comparatively new, built by h|mself during the early part of 1946 and opened dur- ing the spring. He plans to leave soon for Three I-Iills, near Calgary, Canada, to attend the Prairie Bible In'stitute. q about 7,500,000,000 board feet, an increase of about 200,000,000 over that for 1946. This is the ghest production of any peace-time year since .1930. A rough cestmate places about 62 per cent of the production in Oregon, about 38 per cent in Washington. These figures do not include fir production in Josephine and Jackson counties of Southern Oregon, an area which produced about 500,000,000 board feet of fir each year. NUMBER of sawmills in the re- gion has increased from 383 in 1932 to 616 in 1939 to 1445 in 1946. Although figures are not available for 1947, it is probable that the total exceeds that for 1946 by more than 100. Of interest is the increase in dollar value of Oregon and Wash- ington's Douglas fir lumber pro- • dtmtion. This amounted in 1926 to $215,300,000; in 1933 to $61,- 1900,000; in 1943 to $310,600,000; [in 1947 to an estimated $500,000,- t 000. The industry is prepared to cope with a substantially expanded building program in 1948. Barring unforseen circumstances, 1948 production will top that of 1947. • THERE WILL be sufficient lumber for the housing needs of the country as well as for its in- dustrial requirements. Effective distribution hinges directly upon the cooperation of the railroads. An adequate supply of freight cars must be made available in the Douglas fir area during per- iods of peak production, or lum- ber users will suffer as the result of competitive bidding. A point as important as the supply is the fact that the Paci- fic Northwest is not being strip- ped of timber to meet the hous- ing emergency. Lumbermen of the region are planning" ahead for a full 100-year cycle of production. In the Douglas fir region there are now more than 2,500,000 acres of tree farms--a guarantee of lumber for the future--and this acreage is constantly being in- creased. \\; International Flavor Apparent in Recipes At Christmas Dinners Recipes with an international , flavor arc featured by many American cooks this Christmas. Here are, a few suggestions from the County Extension office. One such recipe coming from north European countries makes "Holiday Stollen' It is a rich sweet bread, fruity with raisins, citron, cherries and nuts, shaped like an oversize Parkerh0use roll. Some'Vienese cook from long ago must ha''e thought up this one "Santa Tempters" or Vienesc Taints. ' The pzstry that makes these little jam-filled tarts is nib, de, with cottage cheese. From Norway comes "Christias Carolers" or Norwegian cookies. A rich cookie dough' decorated with bits of chocolate, chopped nuts, cinnamon sugar or colored candies. America's eontributiqn to these international holiday treats, is Mistletoe :Magic or Cranberry- Orange pudding. This up-side- down pudding with its tangy sauce of cranberries, diced or- anges and orange rind has a bit of mistletoe magic baked right into it. The pudding is.an-easy-to-mix sweet "drop biscuit batter, espec- ially good served warm with hot Cranbez'z'y-Orange sauce. san Francisco,- ...... $11.90 • . ....... .. 11.50 Boise ..........

Santa did not appear in person so candy had to be given out by helpers. Potluck lunch was served by the ladies. There will be no meeting of Shelton Grange 403 the first Thursday of the year 1948, as it falls on New Year's. The 6th of January the drill team will come from Little Rock, Wash., weather permitting, to initiate those from all Granges in Mason county tak- ing the first and second degrees.

Cheesey Bugs Make it Tough on Cheesemakers A study of tiny organisms, known as bacteriophages, that eat or destroy the bacteria needed for eheesemaking, is being con- ducted by the dairy department at Washington State College. These organisms, which are commonly known as "bacteria eaters", are costing the cheese- making industry considerable money every year, says Dr. tLA. Bendixen, the acting head of the state college dairy department. They attack the useful bacteria that are the "cheesemakers' best little friends and helpers," said Bendixen. The flavor 'and digest- ibility of cheese depends largely on the bacteria put into it by the cheesemaker. By the use of special filtering devices, research workers have learned to separate the bacteria eaters from the bacteria. The bac- teria are large enough to be re- tained on these filters while the h wqtria eateT ,re e,o .srJl., that tley/will pass through. Thus the btb.l:rta" eaters ay be studied • hi'art from the bacteria. During the past several months at the State College of Washing- ton, several strains of bacterio- phage for starter bacteria have been studied by investigators in the department of dairy husband- ry. One of these strains was ob- tained from New Zealand where the activities of bacteriophages has been found bothersome in many cheese factories. From studies of these bacterio- phage strains and from observa- tions of starter trouble in cheese factories of the Pacific North- west, Dr. endixcn and other State College scientists are con- vinced that this is a problem which merits considerable atten- tion, care, and study in this state and wherever cheese is made. It is hoped that the develop- ment of the electron microscope wiich is much more powerful than the ordinary microscope-- may be helpful in studying these enemies of our useful bacteria.

Albaeh if: Once we have our stamps all cleaned up we are ready for the next big step in organizing, our collection. This step consists of sorting our stamps preparatory to mounting them. Foi" this you will need plen:ty of time, patience, and space. Don't do your sorting on the i kitchen table unless you are cer- tain that you can get out of the cook's way without undoing all ,your labor! Don't sort your stajnps where the draft from an open or, clos- ing door will raise a miniature philatelic snow flqrry! Watch that sneeze! And, of course, he sure that the surface on which you are doing your sorting is clean and dry! IN SORTING stamps we have found that the most practical method is to dump our stamps in a pile on the sorting surface, thus avoiding the awkward contortions frequently involved in picking them out of a box or envelope singly. Now sort your stamps into sep- arate piles according to country. The majority of stamps are eas- ily identified, having the Eng- lish name of the country in their design. This is true of ahnost all stamps of the western hemisphere, Great Britain and possessions, and of many countries of Europe and Asia. In many other instances the name of the country on the stamp is so similar to the English name that the country is readily identi- fied as, for example, Italia, Espana, etc. Make a separate pile of all stamps that you can- not definitely identify. WHEN YOU have completed sorting your stamps into piles, place the stamps of each country into a separate containeran en- velope, stock card, box, or what- have-you--writing the name of the country on any opaque con- tainer used. For this purpose glassine en- velopes are unexcelled since the stamps are always visible, mak- ing written identification of the envelope unnecessary. If you are a systematic type of person you will arrange your envelopes al- phabetically, placing the envelope of unidentified stamps last. And so you are ready for mounting your stamps. Albums are not arranged in perfect alphabetical order and few of them have an index. Un- less you are thoroughly familiar with your album, it will be much simpler to follow the order of your album rather than your envelopes in mounting your stamps. In all probability rids means ttmt you will begin by mounting your U. S. stamps. THIS CALLS for more sorting. Dig out your envelope of U. S. stamps hnd, if you have a great number of these, sort them first acording to typ.e: ordinary postage issue, eommemoratives, airmails, special delivery, postage dues, etc. Put your different types in separ- ate ervelopes until you are ready for them. Now take, for cxampl our ordinary postage issheg affd%ort these according to general design. Next sort the pile of one general design acording to denomination. YOUR SORTING according to denomination reveals that you have a number of copies of the ,same stamp. Select the best one of these, judging on the lightness of cancellation, centering of the design, condition of the perfora- tions, etc. Mount the best amp in the proper place in the album and put the duplicates in a box or en- velope kept for that purpose. Many collectors keep their dupli- cates sorted according to country, others prefer to mount them ac- cording to country on blank pages. Suit yourself. Merry Christmas!
