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 When special levy funds are not available outdated text books and those worn beyond repair cannot be replaced, often resulting in not enough books to go around.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. Sunday Services 8:30 a.m .... Morning Worship 9:45 a.m ......

C., and the state legislators convening in Olympia, local citizens may wish to contact one or more elected official to let them know of their opinion on a particular subject. Following are addresses to which correspondence may be sent: U.S. Senator: The Honorable (full name) Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Senator (name): U.S. Representative: The Honorable (full name) House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Mr., Mrs. or Ms. (name): State Senator: Senator (full name) Washington State Legislature Olympia, Washington 98504 Dear Senator (name): State Representative: Representative (full name) Washington State Legislature 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.

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.
