Judge Rejects Motion
In Marijuana Case
Judge Charles Wright denied
a motion to suppress evidence in
the case of Jeffery Heinis, 18,
Shelton, charged with possession
of marijuana.
The ruling came after a hear-
ing in Superior Court on a mo-
rion by Hetnis' attorney, Gerry
Alexander, Olympia.
Deputy Sheriff Tom Creekpaum
who arrested Heinis the evening
of Dec. 13, testified that he had
a tip from an informant that three
boys in a car answering the des-
eription of and having the license
number of a car which Heinis
was driving, had tried to sell
marijuana.
Creekpaum said he had stop-
ped the car at 7th and Franklin,
near Shelton High School, and
had placed the three youths in
his patrol car, and, searched the
vehicle in which they were rid-
ing. He found, he said, a match
box containing a vegetable sub-
stance which he believed to be
marijuana. Subsequent tests had
proved it to be marijuana, Creek-
paum sled.
He said the informant who had
given him the information had
been the somme of reliable infor-
mation in the past and he had
good reason to believe his infor-
marion was correct this rime.
Creekpaum said that only
Heinis was charged since he
was the owner and driver of the
.car. Neither of the other two
youths had any suspicious .mater-
ial on their person, he added, so
they were not charged.
Alexander told the court he did
not believe the officer had rea-
sonable grounds to stop the ve-
hicle and search it and the oc-
cupants a tip tro an Infr-
mant and asked that the evidence
in the case be suppressed.
Creekpaum did not have a war-
rant for the arrest of the youths
nor a search warrant for them
or the vehicle, Alexander said.
Prosecuting Attorney John C.
Ragan told the court that the
informant who had given the in-
formation was the same one who
had provided officers with infor-
mation which lead to the arrest
of George Gomtfeliow, Olympia,
on a charge of possession of mari-
juana. ellow, Ragan told
the court, had pleaded guilty
to the charge and had been sen-
tenced last mmth.
Ragan told the court he believ-
ed that Creekpaum's actions were
Intlrely within the law, since he
did not have time to get a search
warrant after receiving the In-
formation about the marijuana.

Hospital
Room R00es
Increased
The Mason County Hospital
District Commission has announc-
ed that room rates at Mason Gen-
eral Hospital were raised $10 a
day, effective Jan. 1.
The new rates are $45 for a
two-bed room and $49 for a pri-
vate room.
The commissioners, along with
Cal Hopper, administrator of the
hospital, discussed the rate in-
creased at the Chamber of Com-
merce Board of Trustees break-
fast meeting Friday morning.
The hospital officials said that
the first three months the new
Mason General Hospital had
been in operation, there had been
a deficit.
There was an average of 31
patients a day during the time,
the hospital offlcals said, and
that an average of 41 would have
been needed to keep the financial
operation in the black at the old
rates.
They explained that the $10 a
day increase would take care of
replacing the deficit and of sa-
lary increases for employees an-
ticipated this year.
The hospital officials explained
that it takes a certain number of
people to keep the hospital oper-
ating no matter how many pat-
ients there are.
The room rate increases put
Shelton in line with most other
hospitals in the state, the hospital
officials explained, where under
the old rates, they were among
the lowest in the state.

SLADE GORTON
Aid For New Athletic
Field Is Suggested
I A proposal for a community
eff:rt to assist the Shelton School
District in developing a start on
the new athletic facilities on the
site off Spring Road was brought
to the school board Tuesday night
by members of the Shelton Boost-
ers Club.
Ernest Timpani and John
Stentz, representatives of the club,
told the board they believed that
through the use of the some $60,-
000 the district has available for
development of athletic facilities
and through donated labor and
other efforts on the part of the
club, that a football field could
be developed (m the new site in
time for the season next school
year.
The $60,000 which the school
district has in its building fund
for the athletic facilities comes
from the sale of the Lincoln
School Property and the old
swimming pool fund.
The largest single item pro.
posed development would be
bringing the sewer and water
lines from end of the existing
main to the school site, estimated
at $38,500 by the city engineer.
Timpani and Stentz told the
board that other cost estimates
they had arrived at, which took
into consideration donated labor
and other items, was $5,000 for
clearing and .grubbing 20 acres of
the 40-acre site, $10,000 for fill
and seeding, $6,000 for a sprink-
ler system, $3,500 for lighting and
$5,000 for blacktopping a parking
area, a total of $67,000.
The school board authorized
Supt. Iuis Grinnell to negotiate
with an architect for planning
for the proposed facility so it
could be determined what should
be done and how it should be
done.
The school board indicated a
willingness to work with the
Booster's Club to use the avail-
able money to get as much work
done as possible on the project.
Grinnell told the board that
the moveable walls in the Bor-
deaux building had arrived and
should be installed this week.
The board set 10 a.m. Monday
for its final Inspection of the
building and tentatively set an
open house to give the public a
chance to look at the facility from
7-9 p.m. Jan. 30
Grinnell said that student
would be moved into the building
as soon as a few items around
the outside are completed.
Grinnell reported also that the
four-room addition to the Mt.
View school was in the planning
progress, and, that the hope ts to
construct three classrooms and a
library. The present library, he
said, would then be turned into
a classroom.
The board accepted the resignao
tions of Mrs. Barbara Valley and
Mrs. Suzanne Floyd, teachers at
Bordeaux and named Mrs. Doris
Jackson to succeed Mrs. Floyd.
