ill or possibly under the influ-
ence of drugs. There are several
physical symptoms of illness that
are similar to the effects of
drinking too much alcohol - dia-
betes is one of them. There have
been cases in the past when a
driver was presumed to be high-
ly intoxicated but the breatha-
lyzer machine showed no alcohol
in the blood. Upon further ex-
amination by a doctor the trouble
was diagnosed as diabetes.
How much alcohol must be
drunk for a person to show a
reading to at least .10 per cent
alcohol in the blood of an aver-
age man? Chief Bachofner offers
this rule of thumb to go by. The
average 150 pound person can
burn up the alcohol in one mixed
drink or one average sized bottle
of beer every hour. Any drinks
over this amount will result in a
blood alcohol concentration of
about .02 per cent for each drink
or bottle of beer. For example,
if a 150 pound person were to
take six such drinks in an hour,
his blood alcohol would be .10 -
enough to be considered intoxi-
cated. If the driver weighs more
or less than 150 pounds, the
amount o liquor that he con-
sumes will be in direct proportion
to his body weight.
According to Chief Bachofner,
"If you drink in moderation you
will not be effected by this new
law. Also remember that no dri-
ver will be requested to take
the breath test until after he has
already been arrested for driving
while intoxicated and taken to
jail. The test is designed to either
confirm or disprove the officers
contention that the driver was
intoxicated."
"The drinking driver," accord-
ing to Chief Bachofner, "has be-
come a major problem in the
State of Washington as well as
throughout the entire country.
I LILLIVCAUP --- It made a hap-
pier holiday season for the Mel-
vin Smiths and the Art Indahl
families, beach neighbors, when
they heard that their sons in the
service had an unanticipated
Christmas together in Manila.
Terry Witham, son of the :In,
dahls, phoned them Dec. 21 from
Travis Field in San Diego to say
goodbye before leaving for duty
on the carrier Coral Sea. Terry,
a jet airplane mechanic in the
Air Force, flew to Clark Air
Force Base near Manila, where
he stayed a few days. His par-
ents had sent him the Manila
address of Lea and Rose Marie
Smith, son and daughter-in-law
of the Melvin Smiths. (Lea is on
duty at the U. S. Navy base near
Manila.) Terry was invited to
spend Christmas with the Smiths
and their small son.
Suzanne, Terry Witham's wife,
and their two-year-old son Kyle,
are staying with her parents, the
John Solomans, in Concrete dur-
ing "Ferry's duty absence. Art and
Irma Indahl went to Concrete for
Christmas to be with their son's
family, who came over for a
Ix)st-holiday visit with them in
their Blue Ox Beach home.
A commercial pilot's license
has been earned by young Wit-
ham, who joined a flying club
in San Diego and took a flying
course while at the Miramar
Naval Air station.
Despite precautions such as
running water and extra heat,
frozen water pipes provided pro-
blems in some local homes dur-
ing the recent cold snap. With
icy roads and snow-banked en-
trances to driveways, it was also
difficult to get help on thawing
and repair work on plumbing.
A larger transformer had to be
installed by the PUD last Friday
"after the one supplying the Mc-
Grady home at Lilliwaup burned
out and the tenants, Shelton
school teachers, had no heat up-
on their return from vacation.
Miss Sandra Koko and Miss San-
dra Winger successfully con-
tended with frozen pipes, a cold
house and a clogged driveway
before time for school to resume.
Especially frustrating to Post-
master Faith Evans is her in-
ability to keep entrance ways
clear of snow, as the road
ploughs going through block them
on their trips. After her hus-
band goes to work in the after-
noon, Faith often has had to man
a shovel and the sympathetic con-
sensus is that "something ought
to be done about it."
Snow and the unusually cold
weather cancelled out plans for
a New Year's Eve party for the
Lilliwaup Community Club at the
home of their president, Elmer
C. Edwards. The potluck supper,
meeting and pinochle party slat-
ed for Jan. 3 was also cancelled,
becuase many residents were not
able to get out of their drive-
ways.
The postponed business session
will be held Jan. 17 at 7 p.m.,
following the monthly potluck
supper. Pinochle will be played
at 8 p.m. and the party will fea-
ture prizes and refreshments af-
ter the game.
Word came from Florida to Mr.
and Mrs. Harry C. Hays, Jr. of
the Lllliwaup Motel that a grand-
son was born Jan. 3 to their son
son and daughter-in-law, John
and TeTchy Hays. The boy, nam-
ed James Andrew, joins a bro-
ther, Matthew Clay, a year-and
a-half old. The young couple live
at Largo, near the MacDill Air
Force Base, where John has
been stationed since his return
from Vietnam duty.
Maternal grandparents are Mr.
and Mrs. Norval Rodgers of
Edmonds. }
This is the third grandson for
the Hays, a son David having
been born last month to the son-
in-law and daughter, Mr. and
Mrs. Gary Mazzoncini of Shelton.
Before Christmas was a hap-
py and exciting time for Lon
and Ann Webb, who returned
from the Seattle church wedding
of their granddaughter, Kathle
Lindell (now Mrs. T. E. IJnga-
felter). She is the younger daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Loren C.
Lindell whose daughter, Barbi,
also was married recently, be-
coming the bride of J. T. Watts
and now making her home on
Bainbridge Island.
Mr. and Mrs. Watts brought her
grandparents home after his sis-
ter's pre-Christmas wedding and
visited with them at their Eldon
home for a couple of days.
The Webbs were Christmas din-
ner guests at the Frank Morris
home in Olympia, where other
guests included their son, W. L.
Webb, and hls family of Seattle
and Tom Webb of Uni0.
