The former Seattleite contends he did not have legal counsel when he appeared in court which was a violation of his constitutional ights. , Angevine first petitioned the WallS, Walla County superior court asking the court to order his re- lease from prison on a writ of halJeas corpus• The Walls Walla court denied his request and Ange- vine subsequently asked the State Supreme ,Court to order his re- lease. 'The high court recommend- -ed a findings of fact concerning • the case. Angevine was arrested here in the early part of 1958 in connee- ti0n with a series of burglaries on Hood Canal. At that time, several other counties and states wanted Angevine on similar charges. He was sentenced to 15 years in Mon- roe State Reformatory by the Mason County superior court and was later trknsferred to WaUa Walls by prison authorities. THE SEATTLEITE plans to act as his own legal counsel. He has been studying law while in prison. Angevine maintains he did not know the county would have pro- vided legal counsel, without cost to him if necessary, when he was found guilty here in 1958. Pie contends he was unaware of his "constitutional rights and the court did not ta]e proper steps to in- form him.

If the court should see fit to grant his release from prison he could not be charged on other counts because the statute of limitations has ran c,u since Angevine was convicted here in 1958. The statute of limi- tations for second degree bu'glary in his state is three years. COUNTY Prosecuting Attorney Byron McClanahan said, "The court in Walls Walls receives ninny of these writs of habeas corpus from prisoners• When the new prison opens here, the Mason County court, will be faced with the same situation". A writ of habeas corpus in literal language means, "Why are you holding the body". Since Angevine s basing his ap- peal on constitutional grounds he could seek relief from the federal courts in the event state courts deny his request. Judge Charles T. Wright will hear Angevine's ap- peal. The feigner Seattle resident had an extensive criminal record prior" to his conviction here in 1958. Court Denies Mayor's Motion A motion .made by mayor Earl Moore to have his wife, Opal Moore, dismissed as a co-defend- ant in a libel suit filed against him by Police Chief Paul Hinton was denied last week in superior court. JUDGE MITCHELL G. Kalen of Grays Harbor County denied the motion at that time but said the matter may be brought up again in the Suture. Hinton has filed suit against Moore for $50,000 in regard to a statement, allegedly made about him, at a city commission meet- log Dec. 12.

Juvenile Control Advocated At Local Level By Doctor A complete study of juvenile problems in Mason County will be conducted within the next few months by the Washington State Council on Child and Youth Wel- fare. Results of this study will later be submitted to the State Legislature, the Department of In- stitutions and the Governor. Dr. Jolm Settle, an Olympia physician, is chairman of the Council. DR. SETTLE feels more empha- sis should be. placed at the local level in order to better cope with the problems of Juvenile control. He plans to meet With various peo- ple locally at hmcheon during sub- sequent weeks to explain the work of the Council. Last week, Dr. Set- tie tact informally with Shelton School Superintendent Rudy Olt- man, Dr. Wayne Carte, and this reporter. The Council was established by statute in 1951. Th.e statute pro- vides that members of the Coun- cil shall be laymen representing a wide range of occupations and pro- fessions. The Department of In- stitutions is authorized by law to act as an advisory body on tech- nical matters. In the past, Mason County has not had the services of a trained juvenile court probation officer. Funds for the employment of an officer were provided in the coun- ty's 1962 budget however. --"We feel a Juvenile probation City Acquires Property For New Road Project ' It was azmounced at the City Commissioners meeting last .Tues- day, Feb. 1 that Mrs, Clinton Houpt had agreed to sign the deed te her property between Railroad and Pine St. provided she be giv- en 60 days in which to move hcr garage. The 60 days was granted and the deed signed, giving the city possession of the land. The report of the survey made by the Health Department of resi- dence buildings on East Pine St. indicated the waste disposal sys-. tern is adequate but evidence of rodent infestation is present al- though no real problem seems to exist. The health Department feels that the buildings "leave a good deal to be desired." Police Chief Hinton supplied the results of the traffic count taken last week at the intersection of fourth and Railroad Streets and it was decided that the traffic congestion was not severe enough to warrant the expenditure nec- essary for the installation of a traffic signal. County Hires New Engineer John Cash Bridger, an associate engineer with an Olympia archi- tectur firm for the past several years, has been hired as county engineer by the board of county commissioners. Bridger replaces Frank Porter who resigned as of Feb. 1. THE 55-year-old Bridger holds an M.S. degree from Texas A&M and a B.S• degree from the Uni- versity of Arkansas. e has taught civil engineering at Mississippi State College and the University of Tennessee. The new county en- gineer served as a public works fficer at Bremerton from 195t to 1953. Bridger Will assume his new duties March 1. The job pays $8700 a year. Prison Work Awaiting O.K.

He feels that improved coordina- tion between the schools, police, cotrts, and other governmental and private agencies in relation to juvenile matters is a must if an improved juvenile control program is to be realized. Dr. Settle thinks juvenile control must be met head on by the community at the local level. . "THE BUILDING of more and mole institutions for juveniles is no; the answer," said Dr. Settle. ve Tenile Olympia physician said ju- control is not the sole con- cerri of the school, the police or the¢ourts but must be appproach- ed'ds a community wide effort in order to be successful. Dr. Settle said 33 juveniles were brought into court between 1957 and 1960 in Mason County and none of them had physical, psy- chologic or psychiatric examina- tions in connection with their court appearance. Dr. Settle plans to enlist the as- sistance of about 20 laymen in Mason County to help make the Comprehensive study. Tree Growers Seek Publicity "Publicl During the Worlds Fair" was the main topic of dis- cussion at a meeting of the West- ern Washing£oh Minor Forest Pro- ducts AssociatiOn at the Colonial House in Shelton last Monday. It was stressed that in some areas in the Eastern part of the United States Douglas Fir is re- garded as an inferior tree fcr the use of Christmas Trees. Two representatives of the Chamber of Commerce were pres- ent who emphasized the import- ance of the W.W.M.F.P.A. and the Chamber of Commerce working together to promote Shelton and the Christmas Tree industry. A DRAWING of the new 30 foot Santa Claus to be erected by the Shelton Hotel was displayed as i€ will look in its finished form, A proposal for the production of a pamphlet telling the story of Christmas Tree farming to be dis- tributed to tourists was also dis- cussed. Rocky Hembroff, a Chamber of Commerce representative suggest- ed the land below the log monu- ment on Hillcrest be cleared of brush and a series of Douglas firs be planted there. The Shelton Garden Club has offered to main- tain such a project. Kurt Mann the other C. of C. representative suggested the as- sociation put up signs along the highway dcscribing the ChristmM Tree Industry at "Christmas Town U.S.A." He invited any of the Christmas Tree growers to come to the Chamber of Commerce with other ideas for making Shelton kno;n to tourists. One of the association memberS suggested they produce a postal card wqth the story of Christmas Tree farming on one side and a picture of the 30 foot Santa on the other, Following the discussion of pub- licity gaining ideas the association elected new officers for the com- ing two years. GLENN CORREA, the ex-vice- president moved up one notch co the president's chair, Buck Arm- strong became the new vice-presi. dent and Cla}on Fcrrier because secretary. Logger Dies In.

He illustrated this change that is taking place in the Company by displaying samples of several new products that have been put on the market recently or that will be in the near future. Among the new products were samples of plywood with extreme impact resistance and aluminum coated plywood that boasts the favorable characterist- ics of both materials. FOLLOWING PEVEY'S talk, Mel Olson of Simpson's zsearcrt department emphasized the con- stant need for better products when he said, "Being as good as our competi- tors' is no.longer sufficient. We must• be just a little bit better." Mr. Olson explained that in the research department 50% of their time is devoted to research while 30% is dedicated to new products and the remaining 20% i8 utilized for far range or daydream" pro- jects, He went on to 'discuss some of the -daydream projects" now be- ing worked on fly the research de- partment. Among these was a tinted acousticat tile that, i ax- pected to come out in the near fu- ture, l. Olson went on to express the importance of perfcction in new products. According to him, "Befm we can expect'to sell a product to the public we must first sell it to ourselves. If we are. not assured that the product is the best we can possibly turn out at the present time we cannot ex- pect the public to buy it." Mr. (lson feels that in the fu- ture Simpson will .not be looking only at wood products, but feels that the wood, metal and plastic industries will combine to manu- (C¢)ntinucd on pagO 8). this locatl0n due to the poor visi- bility at night• The grangers also wan't the c0unty to widen the road leading to. the Skokomish valley.
