THE DANCE FLOOR is crowded when the music of a band
called LYNX sets the toes to tapping. Left to right are Randy
Linder, Ken Lawson, Roger Lawson and Mike Linder.
Rep. Julia Butler Hansen
(D-Wash.) this week introduced
bills providing for safeguards
against ocean dumping of
dangerous pollutants.
The three bills would:
- call an international
conference, under auspices of the
1972 United Nations Conference
on Human Environment, to
prohibit dumping and provide the
needed framework for review and
enforcement.
- require that dates be
established for all new munitions,
and require a review of all
chemicals and munitions on hand
that would be hazardous when
disposed of.
- provide the Environmental
Protection Agency with final
authority for approval of plans to
discharge military waste material
into international waters.
"The troubles over the nerve
gas disposals last fall point to a
need for more adequate
controls," Mrs Hansen said.
The bill she is sponsoring
would provide for grants from the
Federal Communications
Commission, which would help
establish a special "91 1"
telephone code number that
could be dialed for police, fire,
ambulance, or other emergency
aid.

Generation gap? There are at
least four young men who have
never learned the meaning of the
words.
A band called LYNX is the
culmination of three generations
of musical talent in the Linder
family, beginning in the youth of
a man named Hayes Davis who
came to the Skokomish Valley in
1909. He became famous for his
performances on the musical saw
as well as for his vocal talents and
abilities as a pianist. He maintained
a home in the Shelton area for 65
years, and although he and his
wife now reside in Seattle they
are frequent visitors in the Linder
home.
Greg, Randy, and Mike Linder
are the grandsons who inherited
his talent. Greg, although assisted
by friends, is a predominately
self-taught guitarist and it was he
who guided the other boys
through the intricacies oI the
instrument. He is now a fourth

Chuck and Marie Linder were
host and hostess and chaperones
on February 6 to more than
70 Shelton area teen-agers who
met at the Linders' Skokomish
Valley home for a Jam Session.
From 7 p.m. to 2 a.m.
musicians from several other rock
bands 'sat in' with the band called
LYNX to keep a steady flow of
music for the many dancers.
Refreshments and snacks were
plentiful.
"We wanted to have a nice
party for the young people," said
the Linders. "We feel that they
need more such activities."
Janeen Deyette, an
enthusiastic guest, spoke for the
entire group.
"We all think Chuck and
Marie are the greatest for giving us
such a fabulous evening, and we
appreciate the tremendous
amount of work involved in the
planning of such a big party."
Fund
Plans for the annual
Washington State Heart
Association Shelton and Mason
County Drive are well underway.
Mrs. Herb Welch, Mrs. Gene
Caldwell and Mrs. Roger Hoff,
Heart to Heart co-chairmen,
announce their area leaders have
been recruiting captains and block
workers needed for the February

Most areas are well covered
with the exception of HiUcrest
which is still in need of volunteers
to canvass that district. Anyone
wishing to help, please call Mrs.
Welch. 426-8550.
Under the chairmanship of
Russell Stuck, assisted by Don
Brown, the lteart-Days-
-For-Business drive will be in
progress this weekend with the
city firms to be contacted.
Each Heart volunteer will call
at the homes of neighbors
distributing helpful information
about warning signs of heart
attacks and receiving
contributions to the fund.
Heart memorials may be sent

Maybell Daniels, 713 Franklin St.,
Shelton. 426-3080.

Noting that diseases of the
heart and circulation are
responsible for more deaths than
all others combined, it is pointed
out that "your Heart Association

against these diseases through its
programs of research, education
and community service."

Corps Is Given
Application
Application has been received
by the Seattle U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers office from Whitacre
Engineers, Inc., 2124 South "K"
Street, Tacoma, Washington
08405 (Telephone (206)
272-5144), on behalf of Lysle G.
Paterson, to do certain work on
Hood Canal, below Belfair. The
proposed work includes
installation of a removable
walkway and float to provide
protection for swimmers from
boat traffic and provide access to
small boat during summer
months.
Interested parties are
requested to submit, in writing,
any comments or objections that
they may have to the proposed
work. The decision as to whether
a permit will be issued will be
based on an evaluation of the
impact of the proposed work on
the public interest. Factors
affecting the public interest
include, but are not limited to,
navigation, fish and wildlife,
water quality, economics,
conservation, aesthetics,
recreation, water supply, flood
damage prevention, ecosystems,
and, in general, the needs and
welfare of the people.
Comments on these factors
will be accepted and made part of
the record and will be considered
in determining whether it would
be in the best public interest to
grant a permit. Replies to this
notice should be mailed to reach
the Corps Seattle office not later
than March 10 to insure
consideration.
vocalizing and his wife playing
piano and organ. Chuck Linder is
a carpenter and Marie is employed
at the Washington Corrections
Center.
Jam sessions abound on the
Linder acreage in the Skokomish
Valley. During Labor Day
weekend a four day family
reunion is usually held, with
relatives gathering in campers and
trailers. On Sunday friends are
invited to join them for a jam
session and a barbecue. Corn on
the cob is served, and the
customary piece de resistance is a
40 pound roast of beef with at
least five King salmon onthe side.
The Linder home resembles a
hotel most of the time, with a
steady stream of house guests,
visitors and kids who stay for
dinner.
"I never care how long the
chow-line is," says Chuck Linder.
"It's great to have the kids here."
Mrs. Linder agrees
wholeheartedly. "They all pitch
in and help with the work," she
says. "Our kids never have to ask
if their friends may stay for a
meal. They know they are always
welcome."
The extensive electronic
equipment necessary for the band
has been financed by Mr. and Mrs.
Linder, and their premises have
always been in constant use for
rehearsals and for the endless
hours of practice that have
resulted in the fine, polished
musical group now being
professionally launched.
In April, Roger and Ken
Lawson, on drums and bass
respectively, joined forces with
the Linder boys. Their parents,
Verl and Lucille Lawson, also
have a background in music and
were at one time professional
performers.
Morally supported to the nth
degree, the boys became members
of the Olympia Local of the
Musicians' Union and are now
much in demand for adult as well
as for teen-age dances.
The two sets of parents, and
often a grandparent or two, are
always in attendance to applaud
the efforts of their offspring, to
lend a hand if needed, and most
of all to dance to the music of
LYNX.
