Editorial opinion
Want to write to a
legislator? .Here's how
A year ago when ! wrote an editorial in favor of the school levy !
hoped that would be the last such editorial ! would ever write. Surely
the legislators would do something to help educate the children in this
state without having to rely on passage of a special levy every year. 1
was wrong. They not only haven't done anything to assure an adequate
education for every child, it doesn't look like they ever will so I may as
well accept the fact that this will have to be a yearly plea.
! doubt that there is anyone who doesn't know that local school
districts are no ' given enough funds to run the schools. Most must
realize the inlportance of a good education in this day of high
competition for jobs. There are a few people, 1 am afraid, who think
the way to let school officials know that they are unhappy with a
teacher, some incident at the school or with a grade their child received
is to vote "'no" at school levy time. They are wrong. Nobody gets the
message. The way to bring about a change in the schools which one
thinks is needed is to go to a principal, the superintendent or the school
board and explain the situation. If you can present a good case
something may be done; if nothing can or will be done you will learn
the reason.
Next Tuesday, once again, local voters will determine the fate of
the local schools for the next school year. Senior citizens on small
incomes do not have to pay any special levies if they fill out a form
from the county auditor's office. In this day of inflation other voters
will have to determine for themselves how valuable a good education is
before deciding whether to vote to raise next year's property tax.
1 can think of few things more important than support of our
public schools for which we can spend our tax dollars. Each year the
majority of school districts throughout the state vote to give their
children an adequate education. The few districts which turn down the
special levy requests put their children at a disadvantage.
When teachers have to be laid off, larger dass sizes result and
students do not receive the individual attention which sometimes makes
the difference between understanding a subject or just getting by. When
special levy funds are not available outdated text books and those worn
beyond repair cannot be replaced, often resulting in not enough books
to go around. If cuts have to be made in extra-curricular activities some
students lose interest in school, particularly those who enjoy
participating in sports activities and keep their grades up so they may
be eligible to play. Loss of school teams causes a loss of morale among
students in general.
As unemployment rises it is important to maintain an adequate
education for the children of this area so that they will have a chance to
compete for jobs or entrance to college with students graduated from
high schools which have offered a good educational program.
Education is high on my list of priorities; a thousand children in the
North Mason School District are hoping it is high on yours, too.

local citizens may wish to contact
one or more elected official to let
them know of their opinion on a
particular subject. Following are

correspondence may be sent:

Olympia, Washington 98504
Dear Mr., Mrs. or Ms. (name:
The following suggestions for
writing to a legislator have been
made available through
Timberland Regional Library:
"Sincerely yours," is a good
closing.
First letters should go to the
chairmen of Senate and House
Ways and Means committees.
Other letters following should go
to the legislators of your district.
Legislators like .to hear
opinions from home and want to
be kept informed. Base letter on
your own pertinent experiences.
Legislators like intelligent,
well thought out, short letters
which present a definite position,
even if they do not agree with it.
Valuable help comes from facts
presented in letters from persons
who have knowledge in the field.
If writing about a specific bill,
describe it by number and its
popular name.
Letters should arrive while the
issue is alive.
Legislators like to know when
they have done something of
which you approve. They are
quite as human as you, reminds
Timberland, with the suggestion
that you don't forget to follow
through with a thank you letter.

volunteers will be presented at

rebounding with 7.

By DOROTHY TOBEY and ANN WESTBERG
The community was shocked
and saddened by the death of
William Spooner last Friday. He
died of an apparent heart attack
at his home. Bill had been a
resident of this community for
over 40 years. He moved here
with his parents and still lived on
the same property they had
purchased. He was married to
Louise Mitchell who also had
moved to the area with her
parents many years ago. They had
two children, Linda, who lives in
New Hampshire, and Robbie, who
lives at Toronto, Canada. There
are also three grandchildren which
he and Louise had the pleasure of
visiting last October when they
took an extended vacation to the
East Coast and back through
Canada. Bill was past master of
the grange and had held the
position of fire commissioner. He
had worked in the Puget Sound
Naval Shipyard as an electrical
foreman until his recent
retirement. He was very active in
all community affairs and will
long be remembered by his many
neighbors and friends.
The community also extends
its sympathy to Stan and Barbara
Catron as Barbara's father, who
has visited here numerous times,
passed away in Oregon.
Henry Person was suffering
from severe chest and abdominal
pains so his doctor put him in the
h ospital. After running
electrocardiographs and other
tests on him for several days the
doctor decided it was a severe
case of indigestion. Told him he
had a heart of a 17-year-old but
to change his diet for a while and
he should be good as new. While
Henry was in the hospital Nels
took a few days off from
skippering the ferryboat between
Tacoma and Anderson Island to
take care of the ranch.
Unfortunately, Thursday morning
Henry came over to get Jim to
help him bury one of his cattle
which he found laying in a patch
of tanzy. Both tanzy and lupine
are very deadly to livestock.
Mrs. Julius Stock gave a lovely
bridal shower for her niece, Adele
Stock, at her home recently.
Adele is the daughter of Mr. and
