XVIII, NO. 46 8 PAGES 5c MADISON PO MAIL NOW ON WINSLOW RFD EffectIve last Saturday, the Port MadIson postofffice, one of the last landmarks of a once thriving community - was no more. Approximately fifty boxholders at the postoffice were receiving their mail through the Winslow rural route and their mailing addresses were changed accordingly. This was a hard blow for some Madisonites in addition to the inconvenience caused by the lack of a postoffice. Some veteran residents there felt the postoffice was the last landmark officially to call the world's attention to the history laden community that once was a large lumber production center. They gave up the postoffice only after a bitter struggle. When the Postoffice Department order was made last week they still were trying to find a postmaster. Failure to obtain one, plus the closing two weeks ago of the grocery that had housed the postoffice, caused the change. The Review, earlier this week, and ignorant of the fact that the change already had been made, sent a telegram to Congressman Warren G Magneson asking that Madisonites be given one month in which to find a postmaster. Mr Magneson's office replied by telephone Tuesday that it was "impossible" for Postoffice Department inspectors to find anyone for the job." Incidentally, the telegram said no announcement had been made on results of examinations held recently for postmaster positions at Winslow and Port Blakely. SIX ISLANDERS NAMED JURORS IN SUPERIOR COURT Six Islanders are among [ ] talesmen chosen to hear nine criminal and seven civil cases during the spring jury session in Superior court at Port Orchard it was learned this week. Identified by their mailing addresses they are; C L Cleaver, Winslow; Ida W Ross, Port Blakely; Martha Raymen, Port Blakely; William Hansen Jr, Port Blakely; Robert Wilson Beggar, Rolling Bay and Ole Monsaas, Port Madison. The most important case on the calendar is the first degree murder charge against Edward Bradley, 64 years old, Port Orchard, accused of killing Louis Stornelli, Port Orchard, last November.

A number of showers had been given for the mother and an elaborate layette featuring pink the traditional baby girl's color, had been collected. But when Mrs Nels Christensen Rolling Bay, gave birth to her first child at Seattle General Hospital at 4 o'clock the afternoon of March 12, it was a boy.

The child's grandfather is Capt Nels Christensen, Winslow. Despite the pink ribbons, last reports had it that all hands were well satisfied with the arrival. MRS JOHNSON FLAYS HANKS In an open letter to the Bremerton Sun, Mrs Gertrude L Johnson, Rolling Bay, the Island's first representative in the State Legislature, attacked the record of her fellow Kitsap County legislator, C A Hanks, Port Orchard. Mrs Johnson, however, made no mention of her accusation in the column which she has been writing weekly for the Review. Dated after the close of the legislative session, Mrs Johnson's letter said Mr Hanks, a fellow Democrat, "sat here for the whole session and voted with the Republicans." "Whenever a political fight came on the floor when it was Democrats against Republicans, Hanks went with the Republicans. He also voted for the governer's forestry bills, the most vicious legislation to ever come before a legislature, to abolish our elective land commissioner's office," the letter continued. Mr Hanks, in a series of letters to county newspapers earlier had written about the "motley crowd of political opportunist's, communists Utopian dreamers and wild eyed fanatics who advocate all manner of reforms." Mr Hanks said in his letter that he attempted to avoid party lines in deciding how to vote on measures. Mrs Markey Will Speak To High School PTA The Bainbridge High School Parent Teacher Association will meet in the school's cafeteria at 8 o'clock Monday night.

This committee met Tuesday afternoon at the home of the Guild's president, Mrs Paul Hardy, Ferncliff. On the basis of their report, members will work out a tentative plan for this year's work. Meeting last week were the Ferncliff and LaView Units, the former at the home of Mrs E J Hungerford, Ferncliff, and the latter at the home of Mrs Don Sweetman, Manitou. OPA TELLS OF NEW MEAT, BUTTER RATIONING Beginning Monday, March 29, housewives will begin to use the red stamps from Ration Book No 2 to obtain their family supplies of meats, edible fats and oils. (including butter) cheeses and canned fish, under the prevailing point system, it was announced last week. The question of whether it will be necessary to "freeze" retail sales of any of the storable rationed products will not be decided until it is seen how public buying proceeds during the week remaining until rationing begins. In no event, however, will there be a "freeze" on sales of meats. The latest program does not involve any declaration by consumers of the amount of newly rationed foods on hand. This exemption extends to food stocks in so called "frozen locker plants." In the first month, each holder of war ration book two, regardless of age, will have a basic allotment of 16 points a week to spend and the family shopping may be done with the books of all members. During the first five weekly periods, red stamps from war ration book two will become valid and will expire as follows Starts Red Stamp Letter Expires March 29 A (16 points) April 30 April 14 B (16 points) April 30 April 11 C (16 points) April 30 April 18 D (16 points) April 30 *April 25 E (16 points) * * To be announced The official lists of point values will be made public sometime during next week. All restaurants will be alloted supplies of the rationed foods on a basis that will reduce their use of these foods to approximately the same level as that of the private individual who eats at home. The rationing plan makes no provision for pet rations. At least one official point list must be posted in each store, and, in addition, point values must be at or near the place where the rationed items themselves are sold. As each series of red stamps becomes valid it may be used with complete freedom of choice by a consumer to buy any one of the rationed products. There is no distinction made in the use of red stamps as between meats and cheeses, butter, the other edible fats and oils and canned fish. A housewife may divide up her point spending in any manner to fit her family's eating habits, using whichever series of stamps happens to be valid at the time. The new program permits retailers to give "change" in ration stamps where a customer finds it impossible to give the exact amount of valid red stamps when making a purchase. This is a departure from the processed (Please Turn to Page Eight) Tag: Civilian War Effort, Bainbridge Island, WWII THREE ISLAND YOUTHS CONFESS BURGLARIES OF FREIGHT CO, GROCERY The sheriff's office yesterday announced that it held three Island youths who had confessed two burglaries here, including the theft of $390 from Bainbridge Auto Freight, Winslow March 8. One, 16 years old, admitted taking a large filing cabinet containing cash, about $300 in checks and many valuable business papers from the freight company office. An accomplice whose identity was known to the sheriff's office, was being sought, Chief Criminal Deputy Sheriff Charles Durgin told The Review. The checks and papers were found in the woods near Ferncliff, but the cash was not recovered. Two other youths, 16 and 17 years old, confessed they stole $8 in cash and cigarettes and candy from Coombs' IGA Grocery, Head of the Bay, in a burglary last month. A third looting, the pilfering of petty cash and jugs of wine from Bainbridge Merchantile Company, Lynwood Center, last month, also was announced as solved by Deputy Durgin after a resident of Crystal Springs pleaded guilty Monday before Superior Judge H G Sutton, Port Orchard, to second degree burglary. He was given a suspended fifteen year maximum sentence in the state penitentiary. A fourth youth was questioned and released this week after discussing with officers the stealing of gasoline from parked cars here. In all cases, Deputy Durgin said, the Island's resident deputy sheriff James B Johnson, Island Center, did "excellent detective work." Still unsolved were the burglaries February 26 of Anderson's Price Rite, Bainbridge Motor Company and a service station formerly operated by John Lund, all in Winslow. In another case Monday, Judge Sutton sentenced Anton Nelson, 51, Island resident, to serve 90 days in the county jail after Mr Nelson pleaded guilty to perjury in a case involving his falsifying the age of his son, Richard, who was attempting to get a job at an Island war plant. HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS PLAN ANNUAL BANQUET Bainbridge High School's 1943 senior class will hold its annual banquet in the school at 6:30 o'clock Saturday night. Featured speaker will be Dr Linden A Mander, Seattle, University of Washington political science department professor. Louis Waldron, Rolling Bay, class president will be toastmaster. There are 30 students in the class. Tags: Education, Bainbridge Island NEED PERMIT FOR FIRE The ban on no outside fires was lifted last week with the installation of a permit system. O I Myers, Head of the Bay, Island fire warden, said persons wishing to do outside burning first must apply to him. He will inspect the proposed burning area. If it meets with his approval, a permit will be issued. In no instance must a fire burn after sundown. Previous to this order, all fires were banned after an "epidemic" of grass and brush fires caused by an unusual dry condition. The announcementof the permit system came about a month earlier this year. Fire wardens, rangers and state patrolmen have been instructed to arrest persons burning without permits. Mr Myers is the only authority on the Island for issuing permits. TIRE INSPECTIONS NOT RELAXED BY RECAP ORDER Periodic tire inspection requirements are in no way relaxed by the Office of Price Administrations's recent order freeing tire recapping with passenger type camelback from ration restrictions, John Graham, Port Madison, head of the Island's War Price and Rationing Board mileage panel, said this week. The OPA officials made this statement to correct a mistaken belief apparently held by some motorists. "It is true that a car owner can get his tires recapped with reclaimed rubber without first getting the recommendation of an official OPA official," Mr Graham said, "but the periodic inspection program to preserve tires remains in effect. Motorists who do not get the inspections made and recorded in their Tire Inspection Records will not be eligible for renewal of gasoline rations or for purchase of tires in the future. Passenger cars with "B" and "C" mileage ration books and those which get bulk rations as members of fleets were required to get initial tire inspections not later than February 28. This was the deadline for commercial vehicles also. Motorists who have only "A" rations have until the end of March to get their initial inspections. Meanwhile, the mileage panel last week approved 13 applications for tire relief. They are: W E Nance, Walter H Jacobsen, F C Woods and Carl E Humbyrd, all of Winslow; Raymond J Wilson, John M Haskins, John Erickson and Wayne Murray, all of Port Blakely. R S Pierce, Crystal Springs, Dale Richards, Rolling Bay, O L Myers, Head of the Bay; Olaf J Osbjornson, Island Center and Kitsap County Road District. Tags: Civilian War Effort, Bainbridge Island, WWII AIR DRILL SLATED Comdr B C Purrington, USN, commandant at the Naval Radio Station, said earlier this week that the station's next routine air raid drill will be held at 1:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

O I Myers, Head of the Bay, Island fire warden, said persons wishing to do outside burning first must apply to him. He will inspect the proposed burning area. If it meets with his approval, a permit will be issued. In no instance must a fire burn after sundown. Previous to this order, all fires were banned after an "epidemic" of grass and brush fires caused by an unusual dry condition. The announcementof the permit system came about a month earlier this year. Fire wardens, rangers and state patrolmen have been instructed to arrest persons burning without permits. Mr Myers is the only authority on the Island for issuing permits. TIRE INSPECTIONS NOT RELAXED BY RECAP ORDER Periodic tire inspection requirements are in no way relaxed by the Office of Price Administrations's recent order freeing tire recapping with passenger type camelback from ration restrictions, John Graham, Port Madison, head of the Island's War Price and Rationing Board mileage panel, said this week. The OPA officials made this statement to correct a mistaken belief apparently held by some motorists. "It is true that a car owner can get his tires recapped with reclaimed rubber without first getting the recommendation of an official OPA official," Mr Graham said, "but the periodic inspection program to preserve tires remains in effect. Motorists who do not get the inspections made and recorded in their Tire Inspection Records will not be eligible for renewal of gasoline rations or for purchase of tires in the future. Passenger cars with "B" and "C" mileage ration books and those which get bulk rations as members of fleets were required to get initial tire inspections not later than February 28. This was the deadline for commercial vehicles also. Motorists who have only "A" rations have until the end of March to get their initial inspections. Meanwhile, the mileage panel last week approved 13 applications for tire relief. They are: W E Nance, Walter H Jacobsen, F C Woods and Carl E Humbyrd, all of Winslow; Raymond J Wilson, John M Haskins, John Erickson and Wayne Murray, all of Port Blakely. R S Pierce, Crystal Springs, Dale Richards, Rolling Bay, O L Myers, Head of the Bay; Olaf J Osbjornson, Island Center and Kitsap County Road District.
