After seizures on two
consecutive mornings, Charles
Allison entered Mason General
Hospital on December 24 and was
placed in the extensively
equipped Coronary Care Unit,
where two nurses are in constant
attendance and a monitor above
the bed indicates at all times the
exact condition of the patient.
His demand pacemaker was
implanted on December 30, after
which he was returned to the
Coronary Care Unit for five days.
Following a stay of two
additional days in regular hospital
accomodations, he was discharged
on January 6.
The artificial pacemaker is but
one of the many life-saving
developments brought about by
research, into which since 1949
the American Heart Association,
its affiliates and subdivisions, have
channeled more than 163.7 million
dollars. At present the Heart
Association is supporting or
assisting approximately 1400
medical scientists who are seeking
new and more effective ways to
prevent and control the disorders
of the cardiovascular system.
Allison and his wife, Liz, have
since 1964 been year-round
residents of Harstine Island
having, upon his retirement,
remodeled their summer cabin
into a permanent home. They
have two sons and two
grandchildren.
Charles Allison hopes to soon
resume his hobbies. "I enjoy
working on my home," he says,
"and I like to play golf."

ran out to about a minus tour
foot tide, and, that he maintained
a line of stakes marked with signs
between his property and the
adjoining public beach.
Gray said he noticed the man
and woman come across the
property line onto his property,
but, did nothing about it until
they started to dig. He then sent
his son down to tell them they
were on private property and they
would have to move.
He stated the boy returned
and told him the people refused
to leave, and, that when he (Gray)
saw the man move out into the
water a short distance and start to
dig again, he went down himself
to tell them to move.
Gray said the man refused to
leave when he asked him to
explaining he was on private
property. He stated he then
ordered the man to leave, and,
when he stated he didn't have to
and kept right on digging he
grabbed the shovel and attempted
to get it away from him (Birdsall)
to prevent any further damage to
his property.
He stated they struggled over
the shovel, and, that after they
had gone out into the water about
40 or 50 feet, he (Gray) fell into
the water, and, as he started to
get up, Birdsall knocked him back
down with the shovel.
He stated that while he was
laying partially down in the
water, Birdsall had raised the
shovel above his head and told
Gray he could finish him now,
but, that he (Gray) should get out
of there and leave him alone.
Gray said he got out of the
way of the shovel, and, when he
got to shallow water, he began to
run. As he ran past one of the
buckets, he kicked it over.
Gray stated Birdsall then
swung the shovel at him using it
like a baseball bat. The first time

Birdsall swung, Gray stated, he
ducked the blow, and, the second
time, he blocked the blow with
his hand and hit Birdsall over the
back with a bucket.
He said the two wrestled
around a bit more, and, then as
things quieted down a little,
agreed to go to the sheriff with
the problem.
He stated that Birdsall bent
over to pick up his buckets and
other equipment, he (Gray)
"booted" him in the rear end.
Later, under cross
examination by Sutherland, Gray
answered when asked why he had
kicked Birdsall as he was bent
over picking up his gear, he
answered that when he saw
Birdsall stooped over "it was just
too much of a temptation".
Gray stated that after Birdsall
recovered his equipment and they
started to walk away, Birdsall
began leaving in the opposite
direction instead of going with
The Mason County
Commission, in a letter to the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
this week, asking for approval of
six applications for bulkheads and
fills which would assist in holding
the North Shore Road.
The bulkheads are all in the
Belfair and Tahuya area.
County Engineer J.C. Bridger
told the commission the county
has already spent thousands of
dollars in rip rap to hold the
county road and that approval of
these bulkheads would be
beneficial, not only to the
property owners but to the
county road department and the
public in general.
Prosecuting Attorney Byron
McClanahan presented the
commission an official
appointment order naming Gerry
.Alexander and Patrick
Sutherland, both attorneys in
Olympia, as special prosecuting
attorneys for Mason County when

Gray to see the sheriff and that he
(Gray) touched Birdsall on the
shoulder and that Birdsall swung
the shovel striking him on the
neck, arm and shoulder.
That was when, Gray said, he
hit the other man with his fist.
Birdsall, Gray said, dropped
the shovel, and began moaning
"you broke my jaw" and walked
a short distance and fell down.
Gray said he picked up the
clam shovel and walked back to
his vehicle and told his son to go
and have Mrs. Gray call the
sheriff.
Gray stated Birdsall had two
buckets, one yellow plastic and
one galvanized. He stated one
galvanized bucket might be the
one he hit Birdsall over the back
with, but, denied that the other
bucket was one he swung at
Birdsall after he hit him in the jaw
and which Birdsall's wife testified
her husband dented hitting it with
the shovel as it was swung at his
head.
The case started Monday
morning and was expected to go
to the jury Wednesday afternoon.
Members of the jury panel are
Merle Cleveland, Lavern Hanson,
Alva Lynn, Margaret Keary,
Walter Anderson, Elizabeth
Rublin, Geraldine Creamer, B.W.
Campbell, Emaline Pleinis, Mamie
Clark, Mary Murphy and Morrel
Oliver.
