He says that State Troop- ers..are constantly receiving in- .Ues from those who feel that .

Chief Bachofner wants it known that nothin ol filul er from the truth g "' not go around irn s discriminately requiring driv to take the test. Here, in a nut shell, is how the new law Works. If a trooDer sees a person driving tn an erratic manner; for example, weaving all over the roadway, the troop- er Will stop the driver.

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.
