in other grades (1-6) new to the
Shelton School District, according
to Ken Gesche, Director of

Youngsters can be registered
during the next week, also, or the

school youngsters who attended
the Shelton Schools last year, or
kindergarten pupils who were
pre-registered last spring, to
register.

school will hold the registration

p.m.

youngsters according to the
following service areas:

of Seventh, and part of Capitol
Hill.
Bordeaux Elementary School

Kamilche Point, Arcadia Point,
Beverly Heights, Lost Lake,
Hillcrest, Southside Hill, and
Angleside South of Grant Street
and East of Seventh Street.
Mt. View Elementary School
- Island Lake, Dayton, Johns
Prairie, Airport, Part of Capitol
Hill and Northcliff.
The service areas for the
elementary schools will be about
the same as last year, although
some shifting of youngsters to
avoid heavy classroom loads in a
particular building may be
necessary. Some areas, such as
Capitol ttill, are served by two
elementary schools. Parents new
t, the area and unsure of which
elementary school their
youngsters will attend can call the
building principal's office as listed
in the telephone directory.
All new students of the
Shelton Senior High School will
principal, that all junior high
school students new to Shelton
will register on the same days as
the high school students. All
students, new and regular, should
pay their fees on any of the three
days - Aug. 23, 24 and 25, from
9 to noon and 1 to 4 p.m.

Conner
State To Ta
Over Ferry
Rep. Paul Conner (D-24th°
Dist.) this week urged that the
State Toll Bridge Authority
acquire the privately-operated
Port Townsend to Keystone
(Whidbey Island) ferry route.
In a letter to Gov. Daniel J.
Evans, chairman of the toll bridge
authority, the 24th District
legislator said the Olympic Ferries
may soon go out of business
because of severe financial losses.
"This is to appeal to the Toll
Bridge Authority to add this
route to the state ferry system,"
Conner said. "It seems unfair that
a private company should be
forced to continually take severe
losses on a route that properly
should be part of the state
system."
H. J. Carroll, Olympic Ferries
secretary-treasurer, said the
company will go out of business
in the event that the State
Utilities and Transportation
Commission denies a request for
elimination of its run from Oct.
16 to April 15 of next year.
"If the schedule change is not
approved," Carroll said, "we will
be forced to surrender our
certificate at the end of the
summer sc:~son, Sept. 7."
A spokesman for the Utilities
and Transportation Commission
estimated thai Olympic Ferries
lost some $45,000 last year, and
commented, "I can't understand
how they could operate for six
months out of the year and make
money either."
In applying to the Utilities
Building, according to Chet
Dombroski, high school principal,
Aug. 23, 24, and 25, from 9 to
Noon and 1 to 4 p.m. It will not
be necessary for students who
registered last spring (all regular
students) to register. However,
they should pay their fees at this
time.
It was announced by Floyd
Jackson, junior high school
cancellation, Carroll suggested
that the commission contact the
Toll Bridge Authority "to see if
the state can offer better service"
than the proposed schedule will
afford.
THE COURAGE we desire
and prize is not the courage to die
decently, but to live manfully.

Shelton's branch of the
Young Democrats of Washington
picketed Safeway Monday and
Tuesday, asking the public to
boycott a brand of wine that is
made with nonunion-picked
grapes.
At a recent meeting of the
Driver License
IWA Local 3-38 here has sent
a letter to State Sen. Gordon
Sandison and State Reps. Charles
Savage and Paul Conner
protesting the discontinuance of
the Driver's license office which
was open in Shelton two days a
week until July 1 of this year.
,,~Th~ letter was signed by
Dtli~llq~ap~lr~, prel~ident, c~ the
10"d l union, and Earl Jagnow,
secretary.
The letter stated:
Dear Sirs:
International Woodworkers of
America, Local Union 38 is
protesting the closing of the
Driver License Bureau in Shelton.
This action will cause much
inconvenience to Shelton People
and people who reside in the
outer reaches of the County. It
will cause working people lost
income by being forced to take
time off to go to Olympia to
obtain and renew their driver
licenses.
This Local Union would likg
to request that you undertake
action to get this service restored
to Shelton.
Thank you for your
assistance.
Youth Is "ommitted
To
ia By Court
A 1 7-year-old boy was
committed to Cascadia by Judge
Hewitt Henry last week after a
hearing had been held the
previous week.
The judge had withheld his
decision in the case in order to
clarify what had been done in a
previous juvenile court action on
the youth.
Shelton Police Officers
testified the youth had been
picked up on two occasions for
consuming liquor during the time
he was on probation.
After the last arrest, juvenile
officers told the court, he left the
state and failed to report as he
was supposed to do.
He was returned to Mason
County after being arrested in
California.
The youth contended he had
not been told he could not leave
the state and that he had no
notice of a hearing at which he
did not appear.
School Board "
The Shelton School Board
will hold its regular August
meeting at 8 p.m. Aug. 10 in the
Evergreen School Library.
Young Democrats, the group
voted to support the American
Farm Workers' boycott of Italian
Swiss Colony wine. The farm
workers contend that they do not
get a fair wage and feel that the
company that makes Italian Swiss
Colony wine and other products
is being uufair by not allowing the
workers to unionize.
The pickets urged the public
to give Cesar Chavez and his
10,000 United Farm Workers a
helping hand by not patronizing
stores that sell the products of the
company.
Shelton's Young Democrats
spoke to the manager of the
Shelton Safeway Store last
Tuesday and asked him to sell out
his stock of ttt¢ wine a~ad not to
reorder, or they would picket the
store. He refused, said a YD
officer.
Jim Kneeland, a spokesman
for the local group, said that the
goals of the demonstration were
to enlighten the people and to
make the public understand the
problems of the farm workers. He
also stated that the only way to
salvation of the Democratic party,
they felt, was by revitalization
and showing concern with the
social issues of the time.
Mark Stensager, President of
Washington Young Democrats,
appeared Tuesday afternoon to
join the picketing. He explained
that the Shelton demonstration
was part of the statewide effort
by the YD's to help the United
Farm Workers and to encourage
people not to patronize stores
that sell certain products made
with nonunion help.
He added that the Shelton
branch of the YD's was one of the
best in the state. Although small
in number, he said, the local
group has more talent to do
things on its own, as
demonstrated by the picketing.
