SUBSTITUTE FERRY UNABLE TO TAKE BREMERTON AUTOS
Ferry service between Crystal Springs and Bremerton was 

disrupted seriously starting Tuesday.
With the regular ferry Ballard in drydock for emergency 

engine repairs, the ferry Kitsap was placed on the run. 

She, however, was unable to put into the narrow slip at 

Crystal Springs and automobile traffic was unable to 

use it.
Passengers had to walk a narrow plank to board the 

ferry. 
On one trip Tuesday, the Kitsap took aboard all waiting 

automobiles at Bremerton and swung around the southern 

end of the Island, making a landing at Winslow. This 

upsetting of the schedule was further complicated when 

the Kitsap was delayed in passing through the submarine 

net in Rich's Passage.

HO-HUM (YAWN) HERB HAS A SON NOW (YAWN)
There were several Bainbridge Island homes that were 

more or less unhappy when Mrs. Agnes Allen, Winslow, 

gave birth to a 7-pound boy in Seattle General Hospital 

at 4:26 o'clock yesterday morning. Among these was The 

Review, whose staff was trying to sleep off the effects 

of the "night before press day," when Herb Allen, as 

proud a father as ever lived, telephoned at 6 a.m. 

That, right.- 6 a.m.
But those who were so suddenly aroused by the jubilant 

papa were quick – once their eyes were opened – to 

offer congratulations. The boy will be named Herbert, 

Jr., papa acknowledged. The Allens also have a 

daughter, Kathleen, 4 years old. 

NORTH DAKOTA MAN TO FILL LUTHER PULPIT 
The Rev. Ralph D. Brandt, 35 years old, Arnegard, N. 

D., will be the new permanent pastor of the  Port 

Madison Lutheran church, the Rt. Rev. H. L. Foss, Port 

Madison, district superintendent of the Lutheran Church 

of America, told the Review yesterday.
Mr. Brandt will be installed in an impressive ceremony 

at the church at 11 o'clock Sunday morning. He arrived 

on the Island yesterday.
Mr. Brandt was accompanied by his wife and five 

children. They will live at the church parsonage.
The new minister has been a minister for ten years and 

has held pulpits in Wisconsin and North Dakota. He also 

was superintendent of schools at Arnegard. Mr. Foss 

said Mr. Brandt is an accomplished pianist.
Mr. Brandt is a graduate of Luther College, Decorah, 

Ia.; of Luther Theological Seminary, St. Paul, Minn., 

and has taken graduate work at Princeton University.
He succeeds the Rev. J. M. Amundson, who now has a 

pulpit in Sparta, Wis. During the interim before Mr. 

Brandt was appointed, Mr. Foss occasionally held 

services at Port Madison.

MANY MERCHANTS FAIL TO TURN IN LISTS 
More than half of the Island's retail merchants failed 

to file maximum price lists on cost-of-living 

commodities with the Island's War Price and Rationing 

Board at The Review before the deadline Tuesday night.
What the penalty will be for failure to file the lists, 

the board was not informed immediately. It was 

instructed only to file the lists and to date their 

time of filing.
Every retailer must post ceiling price on cost-of-

living commodities, must file a statement of ceiling 

prices for these items, and must have available at his 

place of business a statement of ceiling prices on all 

commodities. Cost-of-living commodities include 

tobacco, packaged household drugs, toiletries snd 

sundries, apparel and yard goods, food and household 

sundries, ice, fuel and certain automotive supplies 

sold by garages, household furniture, appliances and 

furnishings, hardware and agricultural supplies.
The board only this week received official cost-of-

living pamphlets from the Office of Price 

Administration. The board was mailing these lists to 

merchants.

IT'S BEEN SIX MONTHS NOW, BUT FIRE PETITIONS REMAIN
The Island's petitions for the formation of a fire 

protection district—circulation of which started a half 

year ago—still were on the Island this week. 
Laurence A. Peters, Port Blakely, named by Dr. Hobart 

T. Cave, Crystal Springs, Island defense chief, to take 

charge of the petitions, said the auxiliary fire 

fighting unit still was obtaining signatures.
Mr. Peters said he believed enough signatures had been 

obtained. He said the petitions might be turned over to 

the Board of County Commissioners for action next week. 

The commissioners, when the petitions are filed, will 

set a date of hearing to determine whether an election 

will be held here on the question of whether to form 

the district.
The Island's Civilian Defense Council last January 

approved the formation of the district as a means of 

providing extra protection in case of incendiary 

bombing. After much delay, the petitions finally were 

filed in Port Orchard a few weeks ago, only to have the 

County Auditor return them because of an insufficient 

number of signatures.

BERRY PICKERS FACE ARREST RISK
Special to The Review.
OLYMPIA, Wednesday, July 1 —A specific warning to berry 

pickers and all others who use the forest lands of this 

state was issued today by T. S. Goodyear, state 

forester, and chairman of the State Forrest Defense 

Council, who pointed out that a vast area of land has 

been closed to all public entry this year.
"We have put out a large number of extra guards and 

wardens this season in order to meet the increased 

dangers," Mr. Goodyear said. "Before anyone starts to 

pick wild berries this year, he or she should make 

certain they are on land not closed. If you are not

all of us. Read it.
