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.

KELLY'S FURNITURE 1st & Mill St. 426.2411 I Page 24 - Shelton-Mason County Journal - Thursday, January 12, 1978 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. Mr. and Mrs. Danny Johnson of Union are such a compatible couple; they even go to the Extension to budget approved The Mason County Commission has approved a 1977 budget extension for the County Fair Convention Center budget in the amount of $1,339. The amount covers the insurance premium for the convention center which was paid out of the fair budget and should have been paid out of the convention center budget. hospital together.
