PORTLAND (Special) --- West
Coast sawmills may have one fur-
ther obstacle removed in their
fight to get equality at the world
marketplace wth Canadian lum-
ber shippers, according to G. C.
Edgett, executive vice president of
West Coast Lumbermen's Assoc-
iation.
The law requu'es steamship lines
carrying hunber from U.S, ports
Lo foreign comltries to file rates
with the Federal Maritime Corn-
mission, while Canadian shippers
amy bargain day by day to take
advantage of prcvaiting rates, he
said.
At the suggestion of the "West
Coast Lumbermen's •Association
xport committee, Senator Warren
Magnuson iatroduced Senate Bill
032, 'nd COngressm Thor To-
lefson, Julia Butler Hansen and
Walt Horan introduced similar leg-
islation in the House which would
classify lumber as a bulk commo-
dity and eliminate the necessity
for rate filing in advance by ship-
ping firm. Last week the Senate
pproved Senate Blll 1032 on June
27, hearings were held before the
Hou merchant marine and fish-
eries committee.
An effective presentation was
prepared for both the Senate and
House hearings by E. O. Thomp.
Son, Washington manager for
West Coast Lumbermcn's Assoc-
iation. Appearing besides WCLA
on behalf of the bills were Nation-
al Industrial Traffic League, Sou-
thern Pine Association, the de-
partment of commerce and agri-
culture. Only the Federal Mari-
time Commission opposed.
It appears now, said Edgett, as
though this first major effort to
,elieve west coast lumber shippers
of cumbersome rules which re-
strict international hnnber trade
will be eliminated. This is one of
five major recommendations, he
said, which have been formulated
by the WCLA trade mission which
just retumed from Europe. Ed-
gett paid tribute to Senator Mag-
nuson and other members of the
northwest congressional delegation
who have Worked so diligently to
rcmove this stifling shipping rule.

Boating Safety
A Necessity
Says Sheriff
This is National Safe Boating
Week, and Mason County Sheriff,
Sam Clark reminded boaters to-
day that going boating without
the proper equLpment isn't just
foolish--it's also against the law.
Clark points out that on Fed-
eral waters, there should bca
life-saving dcvicc for everyone
aboard a pleasure craft• Craft up
to 16 feet must carry proper lights
and a fire extinguisher, if of clos-
ed constructJon. Craft from 16 to
20 feet long must carry a hand
whistle or horn audible for at
leat one-ha]f zhile.
''HILE N0 specifically men-
tioned in the regulations, common
sense dictates that the safe boater
also carry: anchor, line. paddle,
first aid kit, flashlight, fenders,
tool kit, extra can of fuel, com-
pass and distress flares.
"Recreational boating has ach-
ieved a' rernarkable safety record."
Sheriff Clark said, "but there are
still far too many unnecessary ac-
cidents." He said "operator negli-
gence" is the main cause of boat-
ing mi.haps. This includes such
items as overloading, standing up
in the boat, unbalanced load• reck-
less operation, making too .'sharp
a turn. and causing the swamping
of other boats.
"The right equipment, plus the
use of just plain courtesy and com-
mon sense is the way to nmke
boating tmdy pleasurable and
safe." Sheriff Clark said.

Project Awarded
A contract was awarded last
week to Staeel Constrnction Co.,
Hoodsport, for a road improvement
project at Staircase in Olympic
National Park. Sen. Henry M,
Jackson announced.
"Recreation is Wa,shington's real
inducement to economic develop-
sent." Gov. Albert D. Rosellini
told a'group of approximately 70
people during Mason County's
state economic conference at A1-
derbrook last week.
The noon luncheon, accompanied
by a tour of Mason County, was
part of Rosellinis slate economic
conferences being held in each of
Washington's 39 counties. It was
sponsored by the Shelton-Mason
County Chamber of Commerce.
THE PURPOSE of the meeting,
according to the Governor, was
"that we may get a better under-
standing of your community to
assist us in carrying out our re-
sponsibilities."
We need industrial and recrea-
tional sites immediately before
they are all gone, Rosellini said.
The important issue is the acqui-
sition of these lands while they
can be reached, Rosellini said, in
relation to inflation, etc.
The Governor explained a ten
million dollar recreation bond issue
coming up for election in Novem-
ber of 1964. The bond issue would
mean the establishment of recrea-
tional sites possible anywhere in
the state.
"It is better to go ahead with
things like this rather, than to
chance waiti}g for ten million dol-
lars to aceuhulate," Rosellini said.
indicating that the proposed site -
could be taken up with other
things by the time tlie state would
be able" to raise the money. He
indicated also that there would
be no new taxes made for the bond
issue, but monies would come from
the same source as ,tae WOrld's
Fair appropriations.

Earlier in the day the group,
including Gov. Rosellini, Director
of Commeroe aa,ct Ecnnomie Dev-
elopment Robert E. Rose• Director
of Parks. Clayton Anderson. and
several other staff members tdured
the county with representative
personnel from Mason County.
They visited the Harstine Island
Bridge site. Shelton Industrial
Park;0n John's Prairie, new coun-
ty fairgrounds at the airpm%, and
Potlatch State Park on Hood Ca-
nal, Representative speakers from
Mason County spoke at the noon
luncheon on these places as well
as other areas of the county.
.MASON COUNTY has more
state parks than any other coun-
ty in the state," said Roy Rit-
ner, former state representative
for the 24th district, "but with the
increase in interest and attendance
we must have more".
"We should have more publicity
through local and state help, to
make known to tourists the recre-
ational facilities in the county, he
said.
Bill Judah. manager of Gray-
stone of Shelton, commented on
the Goldsborough and Mill Creek
bridge problems. He said they are
definite traffic hazards and noth-
ing has been accomplished to date.
"It is the Chamber's goal to re-
model them during the next bien-
ium," Judah said•
THE tIARSTINE Ferry is run-
sing at a loss of $20,000 a year,
J, C, Bridger, Mason County En-
gineer, t01d the group. He went
on to Say:that the make-shift fer-
ry is a l{azard and an unnecessary
time-consumer.
In 1961 it was estimated that
the construction of a bridge would
cost in excess of $700,000. The
bond issue for the propose, d Har-
stine Island bridge was defeated
by 200 votes, although 52 percent
of the people voted for the issue,
he said.
He indicated that something
must be done.
The alternative to a bridge is a
new ferry estimated at a cost of
$200,000 or more, and woutd "still
operate at a loss," Bridger con-
cluded.
Dave James, former, Sheltonite
and presently Simpson s Director
of Public Affairs in Seattle, and
H O. "Bud" Pubn. Simpson's Di-
eter of hmber and Land Dev-
elopment, summarized Simpson
Timber Company's uceessful role
in Mason County.
FORTY PER CENT of every
state dollar comes from wood."
James slated. He said the most
important role of all levels of gov-
ernment to do with the lumber
industry is that they understand
the lumbermen's problems in rela-
tion to taxes, polhltion and ship-
ping, citing the values of being
able to export lumber to Puerto
l(ico,
"500.000 of the 600,000 acres of
land in Mason County are grow-
ing timber," Pu]n said•
"The reason that Mason Coun-
ty ranks low in timber production
and high in the industry is that
many trees are brought' i from
Grays Harbo County to be pro-
ceased in Shclton, ' Puhn said.
Jmnes.added that in this way Ma-
son County is "keeping her trees
in the bank for the future."
