Tag: Civilian War Effort, Bainbridge Island, WWII 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. Tag: Civilian War Effort, Bainbridge Island, WWII HAS PINOCHLE PARTY Mrs, Burns McCroskrie, Rolling Bay, entertained with three tables of pinochle last Friday afternoon.

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. Tag: Civilian War Effort, Bainbridge Island, WWII 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 sure, ask the nearest fire watden. "No excuses whatever will be accepted. Trespassers will be arrested and vjgorously prosecuted."

B. Hundley house at Manzanita. TAX BOARD TO MEET The county Board of Equalization will meet for three days in Port Orchard, starting Monday, to consider complaints on taxes. GIVE, GIVE, GIVE!! For some mighty plain talk about this business of "Give until it hurts," read, "Co-op, It's Fun," by the Old Man, on Page 4 of this week's Review. The editors believe the Old Man has written a powerful message for all of us. Read it. 'FOURTH' FROLIC MUST NOT INCLUDE ANY BEACH FIRES Fourth of July picnickers must not build any outside fires, including beach campfires, at any time day or night, O. L.

Prizes in War Stamps will be awarded first, second and third placers in six sports events which include dashes for boys and girls as well as a thread-the-needle race and married couples' race for oldsters.
