SCHOOL NEWS
There will be a Title IV
(Indian Education) meeting in
the library at Hood Canal School
at 7 p.m. January 16. It is very
important for the parents of the
Indian children to participate in
this meeting. Without parental
participation these funds could
be denied.
Title IV funds were cancelled
for the school year 1977-78
because of a deficiency in the
application. It is the hope of the
Indian Parent Advisory
Committee (PAC) and the
superintendent to get the Title
IV funding back for the school
year 1978-79.
For this coming year the
Title IV allotment is $7,000. All
the parents of children of Indian
heritage are urged to attend this
important meeting and help
decide how to use the Title IV

By DIMITRI TODD, Crime Prevention Officer
Mason County Sheriff's Office
Recent information from the International City Management
Association and the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration
publications have revealed some interesting developments in crime
prevention and some rather innovative techniques to combat crime on
the homefront.
One such program involved more than 50,000 women who
volunteered to help state and local criminal justice officials in a
nationwide effort to halt crime. The Hands Up program which was
initiated by the General Federation of Women's Clubs encourages
women tO participate tn the development of iommunity crime
( reduction projects. A description of the Hands Up program, a list of
I meata resource materials, and guides for project development anu
program evaluation can be obtained from the national headquarters in
i Washington, D.C.
( A centrally monitored, anti-intrusion alarm system which has been
used in 11 Portland, Oregon schools since February 1975, has reduced
( burglaries and property losses according to the final evaluation el the
( project. Part of the program included the marking of all school
property in accordance with the Operation Identification concept.
( ' The National Neighborhood Watch, the self-help community crime
I prevention program directed by the National Sheriff's Association, will
continue to receive LEAA funding through September, 1978. Program
plans for 1978 include producing and distributing burglary prevention
materials, promoting Operation Identification, helping local programs
organize residential security inspections and providing other material
I for community anti-crime groups.
. In line with some of these programs the Mason County sheriff's
department, Crime Prevention Unit, has been working with interested
I citizens and groups to help the local population develop a viable and
effective crime prevention program. Anyone interested in assisting need
only to contact the Crime Prevention Unit or the Shelton Police
Department.

Union:
Canal geese killed by hunters
By THELMA FLOOR
The song says:
"...Go tell Aunt Rhody
The old gray goose is dead."
We don't know where "Aunt
Rhody" is but the goose is surely
dead. Since eady last summer
three geese, two gray and one
white, took up squatter's rights in
the Union area. All summer long
residents and visitors enjoyed the
stately sailing of these graceful
birds up and down the canal.
They stayed together and became
familiar with the homesites where
they could obtain a "handout."
At some point and place in their
lives, their wings had been clipped
so they were incapable of taking
to the air in flight when
frightened but could only paddle
away as fast as their webbed feet
would carry them. In the late fall
they moved to the mouth of the
Skokomish River and were
waiting out the winter in this
quiet waterway.
Last Sunday, however, their
idyllic existence was terminated.
One of the birds had the
misfortune to be trapped in an
Indian fishing net but the other
two were still a joy and delight to
the folks who live where the
"Skok" runs into the canal. Three
hunters (and I use the term
loosely) were driving by the area,
spotted the two geese and,
without even bothering to get out
of their car, opened fire on them.
One was killed outright and
retrieved by the so-called hunters;
the other was wounded and swam
away to nurse its wounds or to
die. Residents in the area
witnessed the shooting, verbally
chastized the men and reported
their license number to the
authorities. It is hoped they will
be brought to justice. Man's
inhumanity to man does not stop
there - it extends to wildlife, too.
The Wright Carlsons and the Del
Coles are keeping a watchful eye
out for the surviving bird and, if
they are lucky enough to find it,
will try to nurse it back to health.
Like Thoreau said, "In wildness is
the preservation of the world." '
With the holidays out of the
way, interest is turning back to
other activities. A large group of
golfers from the Alderbrook area
are all primed and ready to fly to
Hawaii to participate in the
Pacific Northwest-Hawaii Pro-Am
Tournament. They will travel by a
747 charter out of Northwest
Airlines which will fly 180 golfers
to Hawaii from various locations
throughout the Northwest. We
wish them good luck in their
game and happy landings.
June Johnston, president of
the Ladies Civic Club of Union,
will preside at the first meeting of
her term today. Committee in
charge of arrangements for the
luncheon are Lucile Wojahn,
Marguerite Stillwell and Judy
Dunkelberger. Plans will be
discussed for an active, fun-filled
year and all members and guests
are invited to attend.
