PIONEER PIONIG IN DANGER?
Dwindling attendance in recent years threatens
to cancel one of the unique and we think very de-
,sqreable events in our community -- the Mason
County pioneer picnic.
We hope this doesn't happen, as this gathering of the
men and women who populated, governed and shaped the
early history of our little patch of the universe is an en-
joyable change of pace in the lives of those who were in-
volved as well as their descendants, friends and neighbors.
If there is a misconception in the public mind that this
event is limited strictly to those who can truly claim the
title of pioneer, let it be dispelled here and now, for that is
not the case. The gathering is open to all, young and old,
who are interested in mingling with those who are the early-
day residents. There are precious few of the latter re-
maining and the list grows thinner each year.
So let's have a big turnout for this 1964
pioneer picnic next Sunday, and preserve it as an
annual event in our community.
GREAT WORK--BUT IS THIS THE WAY?
You people are the greatest!

Skokomish baseball team won at the annual
Taholah Days 4th of July baseball tournament.

sportsmanship trophies, shown here resting on the

Davis said: "I'd like to take this opportunity to

the south and circled the cote.

FI{ANK SMITH LEADING
PRESII)I!]NT'S CUP FIELD
Among entries who have com-,
pleted the first 54 holes of com-
petition in the President's Cup
tournament, F*'ank Smith leads
the field with a net 206, a scant
one stroke advantage over Larry
Larson.
Smith has posted 18-hole cards
of 75, 75 and 80, less his 8-stroke
handicap. This competition, one of
the ]9th Hole Club's activities, is
played at 100 percent handicap.
Larson's three cards read 87, 80
and 76, less his 12-stroke handi-
cap.
Smith and Larson hold a size-
able advantage over the remain-
ing entrants with 54-hole scores, i
although 14 others have only
played 36 holes and some of them
could, with good rounds, rise into
contending positions.

SKOKOMISH TOPS
OAKVlLLE 8-6
IN SUNDAY FRAY
Skokomish put 15 hits to good
use to ontscore Oaksville 8-6 in
a Northwest Indian League base-
ball game Sunday at Oaltville.
The decision extended Skoko-
mish's season record to 8-5.
A trio of Valley swingers Jim
Tobin, Rick Miller and Albert Gou-
Icy, slammed out three hits each,
including doubles by Tobin and
Gouley, to pace the win.
OAKSVILLE controlled leads of
1-0 after one inning, 5-2 after:
five and 6-5 after six, but Skoko-
mish clinched the victory with two
runs in the top of the eighth and
a single insurance tally in the
ninth frame.
Skokomish's big inning was the
sixth, when it tied the count at
5-5 with three rams on singles by
Tobin and Alex Gouley and four
Oaksville errors. The .winners had
plated twice in the third on a
base on balls to Tobin and singles
by Dick Adams, Rick Miller and
Albert Gouley.
RICK, WHO IIAD singled to
left, and Ron Peterson, who had
walked, plated in the eighth. Oth-
er hits in the inning were one-
basers by Tobin and AI Gouley
and a double by Adams.

According to those who should

Fund Eslablished
AI Whilman Gollege
A gift for th~ establishment of
the "Charles R. Lewis Political
Science Fund" has been received
by Whitman College, Larry A.
Beaulaurier, ~ssistant to the pres-
ident in Financial Development,
said this week.
The late Mr. Lewis of Shelton
was a graduate of Whitman in i
the class of 1912. He majored in!
English and political science, grad°
uating cure laude, and later be-
came a prominent Puget Sound
area attorney. He was Shelton
City attorney and Simpson Logg-
ing Co. attorney for many years
while conducting his own private
law practice here for over 40
years.
Whitman inlends te use the pro.
ceeds of'the fmad for political ed-
ucation seminars, conferellces and
other related pro'poses, Beaulan-
rier said. The Lewis family intends
to add to the f,,nd in the future,
he noted, at which time it may
be used to support the appearance
of a visiting professor in the po-
htical science field.

Shelton Banger District: All
campgrounds are open 'and clean,
receiving medium use. Fishing is
good in all smaller streams with
rainbow about 10 inches being
caught. Lack of adequate sun-
shine has curtailed ripening of
wild blackberries at higher ele-
vations. Currently fire danger is
low. Fawns are numerous on thc
Dennie Ahl Road system. Quite a
nmnber of elk have been seen.

Gym Is De/ayed
Plans to have the new gymnas-

School ready to use this fall have
been delayed, John Pill, superin-
tendent of the dish, c* said this
week.
Pill said the plans were now
in the hands of the State Fire
Marshall in Olympia awaiting ap-
proval. Approval from the district
health office must follow the fire
marshall's approval, he said.
Bids will be asked on the new
facility when these approvals have
been received, Pill said.
Completion of plans by the ar-
chitect were delayed by personnel
problems in the architect's office
Pill said.
Pill said the lack of the new
building when school starts would
create some space problems.
The district has its complete
staff of teachers for the coming
year, with all faculty members
from last year returning and one
additional teacher hired, Pill said.
131h Inning Homer
Ends Stock's Long
Victory Slab Skein
Wes Stock's bid for his 13th
consecutive major league pitching
victory fell afoul an extra-inning
home run last Sunday,
It happened at Chicago, where
Kansas City scored a run in the
top of the 13th inning to put
Stock on the brink of his 13th
successive success (he hadn't been
charged with a defeat since July
of 1962).
..... In the bo-ttom-- laalf,--however,
Chicago's first batter reached
base, then Gary Peters was in-
serted as a pinch-hitter. Peters
twice fouled off attempts to bunt
the ruhner along, then smashed
one of Stock's pitches over the
rightfiel~ fence to win the game,
3-Stock2 had entered the game in
the 10th, giving up four hits, one
walk and getting one strikeout in
his three plus innings of relief.
The former Shelton high school
baseball luminary had won his
12th victory since 1962 last Wed-
nesday when the Athletics defeat-
ed Cleaveland, 5-3. He pitched
3 1/3 scoreless innings during
which he yielded only two hits,
struckout six and g~ve no walks.
Stock's re6ord fro: '19~4~ tsmow
4-1 and his overall major league
mark sider going up in 1961 is
21-5. He has pitched entirely as a
relief hurler.
7 in Werm.tchee will determine
succcssfui applicants.
