A hearing on an appeal of a
Department of Motor Vehicles
license suspension for refusal to
take a breathalyzer test under the
implied consent law was held in
Mason County Superior Court
Tuesday morning without the
petitioner present.
Shelton attorney John C.
Ragan, who represented Herbert
E. Johnson, who had petitioned
for the hearing on the department
action, told the court he had
notified Johnson of the hearing
date twice but had not heard
from him.
One witness was called by
Deputy Attorney General Elsa
Kirscher, former Police Patrolman
Robert Trail.
Trail testified he had stopped
Johnson April 26, 1973 after
observing his driving in the city of
Shelton. He testified Johnson had
performed some physical tests at
the scene of the stop and was
then arrested on a charge of
driving while intoxicated.
After being taken to the
Mason County jail, Trail said,
Johnson had refused to take the
breathalyzer test or to perform
any further physical tests.
Trail said a video tape had
been taken of Johnson in the jail,
but that it had been erased after
the case against Johnson was
dismissed in District Court. The
video tape, which was shown to
the judge, was the basis for the
concen
el on
dismissal action, Trail said.
After the testimony by the
officer, Ragan asked the
department action be dismissed
on the grounds that the video
tape, which had been erased, was
not available to be used as
evidence in determining if there
was basis for the arrest of
Johnson on the charge.
suspens,on
Ms. Kirscher told the court
under the law the officer had only
to have probable cause for the
arrest and, according to the
officer's testimony, there was
probable cause.
Judge Hewitt Henry, who
heard the case, refused to dismiss
the department action in
suspending Johnson's license.
Over one-quarter of the 196
persons left unemployed due to
the closure of the Simpson
Timber Company's Insulating
Board Plant have found jobs
outside of and within the
Simpson Company, Jerry
Johnson, Simpson personnel
representative, reported this
week.

To be nobody-but-myself - in a
world which is doing its best,
night and day, to make you

the hardest battle which any

County District Court, Judge
Carol Fuller said this week.
The office would be financed

A regional group which passes
on requests for funds through this
source has approved the proposal
and submitted it to the state.

A group of Mason County
businessmen last week heard state
and federal officials discuss the
economic outlook and what
might be done to attract industry
to the area to provide jobs for
some of those who have been left
jobless by the closing of the
Simpson) Timber Company
Insulating Board Plant.
The group, with Vince Himlie
as chairman, was holding its
second mee{ing to try to find
some answers to the local
economic situation.
Patrick Thon, manager of the
Bremerton office of the State
Department of Employment
Security, discussed the labor
market conditions in the county
and also talked about the impact
the Trident project in Kitsap
County might have here.
Thon said housing is one.of
the most critical factors in the
Trident effects right now along
with jobless persons from other
areas coming in to seek
employment.
Trident, he said, is not going
to solve the unemployment
problem in the area.

formation of a citizen's advisory
committee to the district,
something Judge Fuller said she
has wanted to establish for some
time.
They are looking for persons
in the county who would be
interested in serving on the
committee. Anyone interested is
asked to contact the District
Court office at 426-1658 and
leave their name and telephone
number.
One of the first tasks the
committee will be asked to assist
with is the selection of someone
to fill the probation officer
position when it is funded.
Washington has had a more rapid
increase in employment than the
national average and that the bulk
of the employment gain has been
in non-manufacturing areas.
He said the national picture is
for housing starts to continue
slow for most of 1975, which has
an adverse effect on the wood
products industry.
Bill Wage of the U.S. Small
Business Administration, talked
about programs which the SBA
has and discussed the community
development corporation
approach which has been used
successfully in some areas.
Judge FuJler said the
probation officer would assist the
court by preparing pre-sentence
reports, supervising those put on
probation and in acting as a
liaison between the court and
various social service agencies
along with other duties.
Kind of loyalty
My kind of loyalty was loyalty to
one's country, not to its
institutions or its officeholders.
The country is the real thing, the
substantial thing, the eternal
thing; it is the thing to watch
over, and care for, and be loyal
to; institutions are extraneous,
they are its mere clothing, and
clothing can wear out, become
ragged, cease to be comfortable,
cease to protect the body from
winter, disease, and death. To be
loyal to rags, to shout for rags, to
worship rags, to die for rags -
that is a loyalty of unreason, it is
pure animal; it belongs to
monarchy, was invented by
monarchy; let monarchy keep it. I
was from Connecticut, whose
Constitution declares "that all
political power is inherent in the
people, and all free governments
are founded on their authority
and instituted for their benefit;
and that they have at all times an
undeniable and indefeasible right
to alter their form of government
in such a manner as they may
think expedient."
