Bainbridge Review October 8, 1942 Page 1 Surprise Test Finds C. D. Undermanned The Island’s first completely surprise test mobilization of its Civilian Defense workers Tuesday night was “highly unsatisfactory,” Dr. Hobart T. Cave, Crystal Springs, C. D. coordinator said yesterday. Less than 50 per cent of the Island’s 476 civil defense workers responded to the unexpected call. As a result, another test without previous warning will be given within 60 days. Dr. Cave pointed out, however, that many workers and units functioned perfectly and that scores of workers “walked their beats faithfully.” He admitted that if air raid sirens, silenced by Army order except for an actual emergency, had been sounded more would have turned out .“Most of units were greatly undermanned, proving to us we need many more people in Civilian Defense,” Dr. Cave said. “People should volunteer. They should realize we’ve a war on our hands, and that we must be more prepared than we were Tuesday.” Dr. Cave paid high tribute to the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company. He frankly said the expected “bottleneck” in the company’s dispersal of C. D.’s complex telephone system of relaying calls to wardens failed to appear. “Although the company received absolutely no prior warning, it kept operators on overtime, speedily called in other girls and kept our circuits open. They did not give us a wrong number all evening.” The Rolling Bay sector apparently outscored others in reporting test problems. Incomplete reports indicated that Island Center and Eagledale sectors did well. Receiving high personal praise was Steve Mager, Hawley, appointed senior warden of the important Winslow sector just a few hours before the test. Also specifically mentioned were Buck Bucklin, Winslow, and Charles Clayton, members of the bomb examination squad, and the Creosote Boilermakers’ Union for cutting short their Tuesday meeting. Preventing the solution of many test problems was the “great shortage” of auxiliary police, firemen and ambulance attendants. Other faults noted: many C. D. workers had not notified headquarters of recent changes in their telephone numbers; many wardens made inaccurate reports because they did not know their grid and post numbers.

Legionnaires To Be Chamber Guests The entire membership of Colin Hyde Post No. 172, American Legion, will be the invited guests at a Chamber of Commerce meeting in the Winslow Congregational Church October 21, it was announced yesterday. James F. Hodges, Port Madison, chamber president, said the novel idea was part of an Island-wide campaign to acquaint other organizations with chamber activities. Legionnaires who attend the chamber meeting will be free to leave the chamber session after dinner is served to attend their own regular post meeting a few blocks away in Civilian Defense headquarters. Decision to have Legion members as guests was reached by the chamber’s board of directors Friday night in recognition, Mr. Hodges said, of the strong organization which the post has built since its formation a few months ago. The invitation to the post members also is in line with Mr. Hodges’ proposal to win Island support for the chamber or else incorporate the Island into some form of local government. Mr. Hodges told the chamber last month that the chamber must be more representative if its recommendations are to carry weight with public officials. Only two members of the board were absent at last week’s executive session during which Mr. Hodges put his plan squarely before his aides. While no decision was reached, the consensus seemed to be that there should be no attempt made to form a local government here until after the war. Board members, however, gave enthusiastic support to Mr. Hodges’ plan for winning Island-wide support for the chamber. The Legion post was invited officially at its meeting last night by Dr. Hobart T. Cave, Crystal Springs, chamber director as well as a member of the legion post. ‘No Riders, No Tires,’ Board Rules Announcing a new “crackdown” policy of “no riders; no tires,” the Island’s War Price and Rationing Board this week served notice it was redoubling efforts to restrict issuance of tire certificates of all kinds. A greatly-reduced tire quota for October----including an allocation of only 12 new second-grade tires----speeded the board’s action. Important tire developments: 1. Labor-management transportation committees in war industry plants henceforth will be required to insist that tire applicants either carry riders or accept rides with others. Only rare exceptions will be made. 2. The board will make available a “ride-swap” board in its office adjacent to Terminal Service, Winslow, for workers who seek rides or who have rides to offer. 3. The board will refuse to grant tire certificates for spare tires when any sort of usable carcass is possessed by applicants. Only development which was encouraging to tire users was an announcement by the Office of Price Administration enlarging the field of obsolete tires. Henceforth, all new passenger tires fitting rims 18 inches or larger in diameter will be classed as obsolete. They fit cars of 1934 model or older and 1937 motorcycles or older. Heretofore, the obsolete sizes began with a 19-inch rim. Obsolete tires are granted where need and eligibility can be established on the same basis as an application for recaps. Obsoletes are not deducted from quotas. The move was made to free tires which were deteriorating in warehouses. “in some plants, transportation committees, which must approve applications before we see them, are getting ‘tough’ about the matter of riders,” Walt Woodward, Pleasant Beach, chairman of the board, said. “That’s fine. But in others, the committees just act as a rubber stamp for any and all applications. We won’t recognize ‘rubber stamp’ action in the future.” He was joined last week by a fellow board member, john Allen, Port Madison, in denying the application of a Port Madison resident on this ground. They suggested to the applicant the name of a neighbor with whom he might ride to work. The Island’s October quotas: four new first-grade passenger tires (three already are allocated); 12 new second-grade passenger tires; 40 passenger recaps; 16 passenger tubes; four truck tires; nine truck recaps; five truck tubes. Granted tire certificates at last week’s meeting were J. E. Babington, Creosote; Mrs. Jennie Brisboia, Creosote, and Lloyd J. Henson, Winslow. Tag: Civilian War Effort, Bainbridge Island, WWII Large ‘Posse’ Being Formed For Bears; Deer Delay Hunt There probably will be an “all-out” hunt by approximately 25 sportsmen to rid Bainbridge Island of its wild bears in “a week or two”, it appeared yesterday. The opening of the deer season in western Washington last Sunday forestalled plans to eliminate the bears then. Most Islanders with high-power rifles hunted deer last weekend. During the lull between the end of the western Washington deer season and the opening of the eastern Washington season in a week or two, it is expected that a full-fledged drive will be held to slay the three Island bears which have killed at least six farm animals this summer. It was reported that the large force of men would use bear hounds furnished by the State Game Department. The hunt probably will be led by Maj. M. J. Hopkins, Rolling Bay, noted big-game hunter deputized by the state to kill the bears. Meanwhile, the major requested Islanders not to telephone him regarding the progress of the hunt. He reported receiving “thirty ‘phone calls a day from anxious mothers who want to know if their kids are safe picking huckleberries or from kids who want to go bear hunting with their dads’ rifles.” The major again pointed out that it is unlawful for unauthorized persons to hunt bear or deer on the Island. He also said that the likelihood of the bears attacking humans is remote, although he warned farmers to guard their animals. Present Bears First Ones Here, Pioneer Says The Island’s excitement over the presence of three wild bears may be the first such in local history, Mrs. Frank E. Hyde, Bucklin’s Corner, pioneer resident, said this week. Mrs. Hyde should know, for she is the second white person born on the Island. “I don’t remember ever hearing about bears here,” Mrs. Hyde said, “although I do recall hearing and seeing much of deer hunting. “And I remember that there were a few cougars at one time.” Mrs. Hyde said she supposed the bears swam across Agate Pass from the mainland. “And if they don’t find them, I imagine it will be a case of the bears having swam back again,” she commented dryly. Rodal Buys Stamp Ad, Exposes Cash-in Of Bonds Lucas A. Rodal, Rolling Bay grocer, this week became the third public-spirited Island merchant to buy advertising space in The Review to encourage sale of War Bonds and Stamps---but he also exposed an apparent lack of patriotism by a few war workers. Mr. Rodal, former postmaster at Rolling Bay, said he knew of several war workers who bought War Bonds at their plants, obtained “10 per cent” lapel buttons---then promptly cashed the bonds in at a postoffice. “That’s not being patriotic,” Mr. Rodal said. “Besides that, it takes the government’s time and the time of postoffice employees. They should make it so that a person couldn’t cash in the bonds until after the war.” There is nothing, however, to prevent a bond purchaser from obtaining full value of his bond immediately after buying it. Regardless of that situation, Mr. Rodal said he was glad to buy a Treasury Department advertisement, which appears in this issue. He thus joins Herb Allen, Bainbridge Drug Company, and Mrs. Leare Larson and Harry Larson, Winslow Variety Store, who have sponsored previous ads in the series.

"And if they don't find them, I imagine it will be a case of the bears having swam back again," she commented dryly. SCRAP MARK e l t is "entirely ppaaiUa" that Bainbridge Island may set a na-tional scrap collection record, Hl-mer J. Nelson, executive secre-tary of the -Washington State Salvage Committee, told The Re-view yesterday. Mr. Nelson made the statemeat in reply to Walt Woodward, pub-lisher of The Review, who asked him if the Island's present col-lection of 64 pounds per person was a state or national record. "Under the newspapers drive in Nebraska, the entire state av-eraged 103 pounds per person of scrap material and we feel that it is possible that you may exceed that amount before the drive which is now sponsored by the newspapers of the nation is com-pleted," Mr. Nelson wrote. Harry Larson, Winslow, who resigned last night as chairman of the 'Ialand's scrap committee, was jubilant over the. report. "From telephone calls that keep coming in. I'm sure we have locations of scrap amounting to at least twice what we've collect-ed so far—more than enough to beat Nebraska," Mr. Larson said. The Island, organized by the salvage committee of Colin Hyde Post No- 172, American Legion, ha^ collected 160 tone of scrap in four weekends here. That ia 64 pounds per person If the max-imum estimate of 5,000 residents hero is used. To beat Nebraska's 103-poond per-porson average, it will be necessary for the Island to col-lect 274 tons. This is 46 tons less than twice the 160 tons slready collected, Mr. Larooir pointed out. There was no collection by the Legion last Sunday because of ef-forts made to move the scrap al-ready collected off the Island. Mr. Larson said the Legion had sold the 160 tons to a .Seattle scrap dealer for $900. The money will be retained by the Legion for.the .benefit of the Island Ci-vilian Defense Council. "Scrap doesn't do any good ait-, ting on thia laland, so that's why we spent timfe to get It moving t toward the blast furnaces," Mr. Larson said. Collections will be resumed this Sundsy. Meanwhile, Jeff P e t e r s o n , Wing Pofnt, last night- was ap-pointed chairmsn to succetd Mr. Larson. The Winslow man resign-ed so that he could volunteer fpr the Army. He will report to Fort Lewis Tuesday. Mr. Larson is a veteran of the last war. "I want to thank all my Legtou-frierds snd other Islanders far the enthusiastic way they put the scrap drive over so far," Mr.." Larson said. "But it isn't over yet. I know everyone will give the same fine support to Mr. Peterson. Let's win that national recordl" . • • Ai The RIALTO THEATRE DOOES OPEN 5 P.M.

Mr. Rodal, former postmaster at Rolling Bay, said he knew of several war workers who bought War Bonds at their plants, obtained “10 per cent” lapel buttons---then promptly cashed the bonds in at a postoffice. “That’s not being patriotic,” Mr. Rodal said. “Besides that, it takes the government’s time and the time of postoffice employees. They should make it so that a person couldn’t cash in the bonds until after the war.” There is nothing, however, to prevent a bond purchaser from obtaining full value of his bond immediately after buying it. Regardless of that situation, Mr. Rodal said he was glad to buy a Treasury Department advertisement, which appears in this issue. He thus joins Herb Allen, Bainbridge Drug Company, and Mrs. Leare Larson and Harry Larson, Winslow Variety Store, who have sponsored previous ads in the series.

The'invitation to the port mem-bers, also is in line with Mr- Hodges' proposal to win Islsnd support for the chsmber or else incorporate the Island into some form of local government. Mr. Hodges told the chamber last month, that the' chamber must be mora representative If ite recom-mendations are to carry weight with public officials. Only two members ofShe board were absent at laet week's exe-cutive session duriflg which Mr. Hodges put his plan squarely be-fore his aides. While no decision waa reached, the consensus seem-ed to be that there should be no to form a local 'No Riders, No Tires,' Board Roles • Announcing a new "crack-down" policy of "no riders; no tires," the Island's War-Price and Rationing Board this week serv-ed notice it was redoubling ef-forts to .restrict issuance of tire certificates of all kinds. A greatly-reduced tire quote for October—including an alloca-tion of onl* 12 new second-grade tires—speeded the board's sction. Important tire developments: 1. Labor-management transpor-tation committees in war industry plants henceforth will be required to insist thst tire tppllcanta eith-er carry riders or accept ride* with others- Only rare exceptions will be mad*. 2. The boarr will make availa-ble a **rUe-swap" board In ite office adjacent to Terminal Ser-vice. Wlnslow, for workers who seek rides or who have ridea to offer. 3. The bosrd will refuse to grant tire certificates for spare tires when any sort of ussble carcass is possessed by appli-cants. Only development which wss encouraging to tire users was. an announcement by the Office of Price Administration enlarging the field of obsolete tires. Hence-forth, all new passenger tires fitting rims 18 inches or larger in diameter will.be classed as .ob-solete. They fit cars of 1934 mod-el or older and 1937 motorcycles Heretofore, the obsolete sizes began with a 19-inch rim. Obso-lete tires are granted where need and eligibility csi, be established" on the afme basis s s an spplica-tion for recaps. Obsolete* are not deducted - from• qwslaa. -The Inove was mads to free 'tires which were deteriorating in warehouses. "In some plants, transporta-tion committees, which must sp-prove applications before we see them, are getting 'tough' about the matter of riders," Walt Wood-ward, Pleasant Beach, chairman of the board, said. "That's fine. But in others, the committees just act aa a rubber stamp for any and all applications. We won't recognise 'rubber stamp' action in the future."

LARGE 'POSSE' BEING FORMED FOR BEARS; DEER DELAY HUNT • There probably will be an "all- that it is unlawful for' unauthor-out" hunt by approximately ~~25 •sportsmen to rid Bainbtidgc It-land of ite wild bears in "a week or two", it appeared yesterday. The opening of the deer sea-son in western Washington last Sundsy forestalled plana to elim-inate the bears then. Most Island-era with high-power rifles hunt-ed deer last weekend. During the lull between the end of the western Washington deer season and the opening of the eastern Wsshington season in a week or two, it is expected that a full-fledged drive will be held to slay the throe Island bears which hsve killed at least six farm animals this summer. It was reported that the large force of men would use bear hounds furnished by the State Game Department. The bunt probably will be led by Maj. M. J. Hopkins. Roll-ing Bay, aoted btj-ianw hunter deputized by the state tovkill the bears. Meanwhile, the major requested Islanders not to telephone him regarding the progress of the hunt. He reported receiving "thir-ty 'phone calls a day from anxious mothers who want to know if berries or from kids4lbo want to go bear hunting with their dads' rifles." The major again pointed out CHURCH DINNER TONIGHT • The Women's Lesgue of the Congregational . Church are ar-ranging a' church dinner tonight in the soda]-room ef the church at &30 o'clock- After dinner, plans will bo discussed for the Call ifnd winter work of the church. Present Bears First Ones Here, Pioneer Says • The Island's excitement over the presence of three wild bean may be the first such in local history, Mrs. Frank E. Hyde, Bucklin's Corner, pioneer resi-dent, said this week. Mrs. Hyde should know, for she is the second white person born on the Island• "I don't remember ever hear-ing about bears here," Mrs. Hyde said, "although 5 do recall hearing and seeing much of deer hunting. "And I remember that there were a few cougars at one time." Mrs. Hyde said she supposed the bears swam across Agate Pass from the mainland. "And if they don't find them, I imagine it will be a case of the bears having swam back again," she commented dryly. SCRAP MARK e l t is "entirely ppaaiUa" that Bainbridge Island may set a na-tional scrap collection record, Hl-mer J. Nelson, executive secre-tary of the -Washington State Salvage Committee, told The Re-view yesterday. Mr. Nelson made the statemeat in reply to Walt Woodward, pub-lisher of The Review, who asked him if the Island's present col-lection of 64 pounds per person was a state or national record. "Under the newspapers drive in Nebraska, the entire state av-eraged 103 pounds per person of scrap material and we feel that it is possible that you may exceed that amount before the drive which is now sponsored by the newspapers of the nation is com-pleted," Mr. Nelson wrote. Harry Larson, Winslow, who resigned last night as chairman of the 'Ialand's scrap committee, was jubilant over the. report. "From telephone calls that keep coming in. I'm sure we have locations of scrap amounting to at least twice what we've collect-ed so far—more than enough to beat Nebraska," Mr. Larson said. The Island, organized by the salvage committee of Colin Hyde Post No- 172, American Legion, ha^ collected 160 tone of scrap in four weekends here. That ia 64 pounds per person If the max-imum estimate of 5,000 residents hero is used. To beat Nebraska's 103-poond per-porson average, it will be necessary for the Island to col-lect 274 tons. This is 46 tons less than twice the 160 tons slready collected, Mr. Larooir pointed out. There was no collection by the Legion last Sunday because of ef-forts made to move the scrap al-ready collected off the Island. Mr. Larson said the Legion had sold the 160 tons to a .Seattle scrap dealer for $900. The money will be retained by the Legion for.the .benefit of the Island Ci-vilian Defense Council. "Scrap doesn't do any good ait-, ting on thia laland, so that's why we spent timfe to get It moving t toward the blast furnaces," Mr. Larson said. Collections will be resumed this Sundsy. Meanwhile, Jeff P e t e r s o n , Wing Pofnt, last night- was ap-pointed chairmsn to succetd Mr. Larson. The Winslow man resign-ed so that he could volunteer fpr the Army. He will report to Fort Lewis Tuesday. Mr. Larson is a veteran of the last war. "I want to thank all my Legtou-frierds snd other Islanders far the enthusiastic way they put the scrap drive over so far," Mr.." Larson said. "But it isn't over yet. I know everyone will give the same fine support to Mr. Peterson. Let's win that national recordl" . • • Ai The RIALTO THEATRE DOOES OPEN 5 P.M.
