THE
SATURDAY
EVENING
POST
tells
hqw
I
five
towns
around
Gray's
Harbor,
Washington,
which
had
boomed
for
seventy
years
from
the
operation
of
sawmills
and
then
started
to
fade
away
when
the
Douglas
fir
became
depleted,
recouped
theipselyes
through
the
enterprise
and
initiative
of
.
their
own
people
and
are
now
flourishing,
growing
communities
again.
The
success
story
of
these
towns
:ht
be
an
inspiration
for
Prince
Rupert
people
wha
instead
of
sitting
around
and
waiting
for
'omtbody
to
do
something
for
them,
might
get
or?
ganjzed
and
take
steps
themselves
to
bring
industrial
activity
to
the
community.
But
getting
back
to
Gray's
Harbor,
after
a
series
of
pep
meetings
at
which
new
industrial
possibilities
were
convassed,
leaders
of
the
largest
towns,
Aberdeen
and
Hoquiani,
challenged
the
people
to
invest
money
a
maximum
of
$1000
apiece
in-
themselves.
Presently
$60,000
was
raised
and,
with
this
stake,
the
folks
got
the
boom
rolluig.
2STo
money
was
lent
to
individuals;
it
went
into
laying
a
firm
economic
foundation.
Old
and
new
industries
had
to
be
guaranteed
a
steady,
plentiful
supply
of
raw
materials.
To
aid
fishermen,
the
harbor
was
deepened
at
Westport,
one
of
the
towns.
Fisheries-research
laboratories
were
established
to
find
new
products
and
methods
of
improving
old
ones.
Bogs
were
readied
for
cranberry
planting.
Reforestation
was
begun
and
haul
roads
improved.
Thousands
qf
dollars
went
into
telling
outsiders
with
capital
about
Gray's
Harbor's
cheap
electricity
from
two
near-by
dams,
the
fine
harbor
and
the
responsible
labor
element,
composed
of
home-towners
who
had
bet
money
on
theijiselves.
The
Gray's
Harbor
stqrjr
will
be
continued
indefinitely.
Today's
chapter
is
about
a
boom
which
not
only
is
rolling
along
but
looks
as
though
it
had
come
to
stay.
Three
canneries
have
helped
create
United
States'
second-largest
cranberry-growing
section,
with
some
of
the
bog
lands
producing
$4500
per
acre.
A
thousand
fishing
boats
bring
to
eight
canneries
an
annual
catch
of
10,000
tons
of
tuna:
Red
salmon,
shark
livers,
crabs
and
clams
support
thousands
of
people.
Plywood,
woodworking
nd
pulp
industries
are
piling
up
pay
rolls.
As
the
bopm
swells,
the
planning
problems
of
Gray's
Harbor
becojnes
more
complicated.
Now
theyiare
hustling
to
find
logs
to
supply
the
demands
of
their
various
woodworking
plants,
and
trying
to
devise.
ways
qf
taking
care
of
the
thousands
of
new
settlers

are
pouring
into
the
crowded
towns.

a

sUll
faces
shortages
brought
on
in
part
bj
vrorldwlde
shortages
of
basic
materials
and
foodstuffs.
The
worldwide
shortages
materially
restrict
the
ImportaUon
of
many
commodities
such
as
sugar,
vegetable
oils,
tin,
rubber,
and
cotton
yarns
and
fabrics.
Coupled
with
these
shortages,
industrial
disputes
have
seriously
affected
the
output
of
automobiles,
home
appliances,
metal
building
materials,
and
a
number
of
other
goods.
The
latest
difficulty
Is
the
freight
car
shortage.
In
addition,
the
high
rate
of
demand
creates
shortages
even
in
the
case
of
some
goods
which
are
being
produced
in
substantially
greater
volume
than
prior
to
the
