BAINBRIDGE ISLAND REVIEW_1943-04-01_XVIII Bainbridge Island - Gem of Puget Sound Bainbridge Review Best Weekly In The Northwest Published every Thursday; entered as second-class matter, Port Blakely, Washington Bainbridge Island, Washington, Thurs., April 1, 1943 Vol. XVIII, No. 48. 6 Pages, 5 Cents Page 1 Mannen Gets PO Job! Battle Point Resident Wins Blakely Position; To Succeed Mrs. Seward Kenneth L. Mannen, 49 years old, Battle Point resident for five years, will be recommended for postmaster at Port Blakely, Congressman Warren G. Magnuson told The Review in an exclusive telegram from Washington, D.C. yesterday. The official announcement of Mr. Mannen's appointment will be forthcoming shortly, the telegram said. The congressman, however, gave The Review permission to use the [ ]. This will mean the ouster of Mrs. Margaret L. Seward, Eagledale, who has been an Island postmaster since May 16, 1941. Mr. Magnuson said he felt sure the appointment of Mr. Mannen would meet with the approval of all the residents of the Port Bl. postoffice area. The postoffice, itself, is relatively small although it now handles the mail for the constantly growing Naval Radio Station. From the postoffice, however, extends a large rural route which reaches northward along the west side of the Island. Mr. Mannen earlier this week resigned an important advertising sales position he held with the Seattle Times. He was associated with that firm for 22 years. Mr. Mannen, known well to ferry commuters, did not know of his appointment when he resigned. His wife, Margaret, is an active clubwoman here and is clerk at the War Price and Rationing Board. They have a daughter. Unofficial results of the recent civil service examination showed that Mr. Magnuson had his choice of Mr. Mannen, Mrs. Norma L. Cook, Eagledale, executive secretary of the rationing board, and Mrs. Rachel Hilstad, West Blakely, for Blakely postmaster, who placed in that order. Mrs. Seward originally was appointed Creosote postmaster by the then congressman, the late Marion A. Zioncheck. She was appointed to the Blakely position by Mr. Magnuson. She and her husband, Austin E. Seward, now an Oregon resident, were strong Democratic party leaders here for many years. While the telegram was silent on when the change would be made, it was expected that Mr. Mannen would take over in July. No announcement was made about the Winslow postoffice, where examinations were also recently held. Results of this examination have not been announced. Elva Davis, Winslow, is acting postmaster there, succeeding MIss J.B. Start, Winslow, who resigned. Red Cross Goal Hinges on Theatre It will take a whirlwind finish at the Lynwood Theatre's Red Cross Week, starting tonight, to put the Island over its $3,000 Red Cross goal, Mrs. F.L. Shepard, Winslow, chairmen of the drive, said last night. As the month-long Island drive came to a close last night, Mrs. Shepard said she did not think the Island had "quite" reached its big goal [ ]. [ ] the Red Cross we might make it yet, she said. The Red Cross Week is sponsored nationally in all motion picture houses as a "clean-up" event to the March campaign which coupled a regular Roll Call with a special War Fund plea. On the Island, the week will be sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. Emanuel Olson, Lynwood Center, proprietors of the Lynwood Theatre. Collections will be taken at the theatre and memberships will be sold. Meanwhile, Mrs. Shepard asked Islanders who had not yet been contacted by Red Cross Field workers for contributions to call her at Port Blakely 454. She said she would see to it that a collection is made. At the same time, Mrs. Shepard expressed her thanks to those former Islanders who "didn't forget their former home and who sent their Red Cross donations to her by mail so that they would be counted in the Island quota. Tags: Civilian War Effort, Bainbridge Island, WWII $272,000 May Be Given County Road By U.S. A huge grant of federal money -- $272,000 -- probably will be made available for improvement of Kitsap County roads, it appeared this week. According to Bremerton reports, Congressman Warren G. Magnuson announced that the Public Roads Administration recommended the grant after winning the promise of the Board of County Commissioners to spend $20,000 of county funds in maintenance. When the money would be available was not known. It was exprected it would be used for bridges and culverts as well as for roads which have been pounded by buses in hauling Navy workers.

As a last resort this week, we are circling the names of a few subscribers who have allowed their subscriptions to lapse. Those subscribers will be dropped next week unless their renewals are received before Wednesday.

Tag: Death Notices, Bainbridge Review Tag: Religion, Bainbridge Island Cooking Fuel Oil Coupons Expire All On April 30 The expiration dates on all coupons issued for the purchase of fuel oil for cooking expire April 30, the War Price and Rationing Board announced this week. Many Islanders have expiration dates other than April 30 written on their cooking oil coupon boods. This is an error. The mistake occured when staff member wrote dates of expiration ninety days from the date of issuance of the coupons. The correct procedure, it developed this week, was for the coupons to expire April 30, ninety days after the official start of fuel oil rationing on February 1. This was good news to most cooking oil consumers, for it meant a few extra gallons of oil for them. The method of renewing applications for cooking fuel oil had not been determined yesterday.

Ambulance Kit Missing The Pleasant Beach Casualty Station this week reported the loss of its Red Cross first aid ambulance kit from the station at the I.O.O.F. Hall, West Blakely. This is an expensive kit and needed in event of an emergency. Information regarding it should be given Mrs. C.A. Osier, Pleasant Beach, telephone Port Blakely 158-J, evenings. A first aid class with an authorized Red Cross teacher may be undertaken at the station if a sufficient number of paople favor it. Classes will be held weekly for men and women.

Tags: Civilian War Effort, Bainbridge Island, WWII 'Phone Service, Plagued by Rain, Being Restored Service was restored late yesterday to most of the hundreds of telephone subscribers who were without this form of communication since Saturday.
