in February of 1958. 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. The sixth amendment

er hand, to shoN how sensible he really is, John is
to prison on one count. 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.

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.

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

engineer with an Olympia archi-
tectur firm for the past several

officer in Mason County is neces-
saw to coordinate the various pub-
lic.and private agencies presently
existing that offer services for
young people," said Dr. Settle.
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.

president moved up one notch co

strong became the new vice-presi.

Pevey began his talk by express-
ing the need for new products
when he said•
"In years gone by Simpson was
concerned with the manufacturing
of oomm0dities -- now we have to
get away from these commodities
and start making something peo-
ple really want and will buy."
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-

THE INTEPSECTION in ques-
tion is under the jurisdiction of
the State HighWay Department.
The commissi0ters, however, ag-
zeed to lookinto the matter to see
if something could be .done.
The commisskn signed an
agreement for 1962 with the team-
stets and operat!ng engineers' un-
ions in regard to vacations and
working, cdnditionS: A' wage
agreement fbt 1962 is scheduled
to he negotiated .in April•
Auditor C. Nolan Mason and
his Chief Deputy "Merna Mtflin
suggested the county pay the
r.oad department employees once
a month instead: of twice t
month. They maintain it would
cut down on bookkeeping if this
practice was followed, The audi-]
tor's department feels a draw day I

employees should be allowed." All i
other county empl.oyees are pres- i
ently paid once a month but are
allowed a draw day in the middle l
of the!pay period, The' commission ]
approved this request.
Mason also told the commission
the county shoUll begin to pre-
pare insurance bids for billty
coverage• The insurance policy
covering liability for the Harstine
ferry will also run out shortly•
The commission authmzed Mason
to preparc bids for public adver-
