This is a grea( year to be a
Republican. As Republicans we
really have something to
celebrate, Spellman said.
"We can celebrate the fact that
we have that great American and
great Republican, Richard Nixon,
in the White ltouse. We can
celebrate the fact that we have
another great man, Dan Evans, in
t he state tiouse, and that
throughout the land we have 32
Republican Governors. I am
convinced that this republican
leadership will become catching
and, if we all work together, we
can get a Republican majority in
congress, in the state legislature
and at the local level.
"Isn't it about time that the
people discovered that the
Democratic party is the party of
unkept, puffed-tw promises while
we are the party of proven
performance?
"ltonoring Abe Lincoln, I
think we all remember what a
great success he was. Most of us
have forgotten how stubborn he
was and that his political career
was no bed of roses. In 1832
Lincoln first ran for political
office for the Illinois State
Assembly and lost, but he ran for
the state assembly again and won
four times, lie ran for ('ongress in
the printary election of 1843 and
lost, but was elected to congress
in 1847. ha 1855, he ran for the
Senate and lost, and in 1858 he
opposed Stephen Douglas for the
Senate and lost. But in 1960 he
was elected president of the
United States. The first
Republican president. Remember,
Lincoln lost four major elections
enough to discourage many
men, but he stuck by his guns and
won. Where would we have been
if Lincoln were a quitter?
"Where would we be today if
Richard Nixon were a quitter?
Nothing can be more disasterous
to a party than a failure to stick
to it. Nixon and Lincoln have
made this very clear to us.
"I'd like to say a few words
about Richard Nixon. 1 think it's
about time that we take pride in
the fact that he's doing a superb
job as our president.
"'President Nixon is a real
leader. He inspires confidence -
his every action conveys the fact
that he knows what he's doing -
has complete command of the
facts - when he makes a decision.
"He hasn't fallen into the trap
of making spectacular promises
and talking in dramatic rhetoric.
Lincoln said "we must not
promtse what we ought not, lest we
be called upon to perform what
we cannot." Nixon doesn't make
wild prontises, which only leave a
sour taste in the people's mouths
when they aren't fulfilled. When
he presents a program, no matter

as Mrs.
Ion could tell
Riggs had
and was
rom the waist
m.Ved part of
stx Years ago.
None of this has kept her from
being as active as possible.
Besides raising two sons, she's
been a professional seamstress,
worked for Douglas Aircarft in
California, and managed a dog
kennel before moving to Shelton.
Now Mrs. Riggs has to spend
about 17 hours a day in an old
wheel chair which is in Such bad
shape3 it keeps her from being that
active person she's always been
and still wants to be.
A new wheel chair properly
equipped will cost $419.78. The
Shelton Multi-Center is helping in
an effort to raise that amount.
Already the Easter Seals
organization and the Olympia
Elks have donated $200 between
them.
The Multi-Service Center is
looking for contributions to make
up the additional $219.78 which
The Shelton Police Department
and Mason County Sheriff's
Office arrested eight persons over
the weekend qr~ 'charges of
possession of rr/arijuana and one
for dispersing marijuana.
Seven of those arrested were
caught in downtown Shelton in a
space of about two hours Friday
night and early Saturday morning.
Charged with dispersing
marijuana, and held in the Mason
County Jail, was Michael
Dauenhauer, 18, 1205
McPhearson St., Richland.
He was arrested at 2:20 a.m.
Saturday after officers were called
to a bussiness on Cola St. where
two juveniles were being held by
adults. Dauenhauer was pointed
out by the juveniles as the one
who had sold one of them
marijuana.
One of the two juveniles, a
14-year-old, both of whom were
referred to the Juvenile Probation
Officer, was charged with
possession of marijuana and being
a minor consuming liquor.
The other juvenile, 15, was
charged with being a minor
consuming liquor after officers
searched him and found no
marijuana.
Shortly before this, officers
had arrested five youths, one 17
and the other four 18, on charges
of possession of marijuana in the
same area around Second and
Cota Sts.
This arrest started when
officers had contact from a man
who told them he had been
offered a lid of marijuana for $12
and asked officers if they wanted
him to make a buy for them.
Officers stated they did,
according to the Police Report,
and it was arranged to have an
officer in plain clothes observe
the buy.
The two youths who had been
pointed out as the ones offering
the marijuana for sale left the
business place where the contact
was to have been made through
the back door and were later
observed walking toward an
automobile in which three other
youths were seated.
Officers arrested the five and
took all of them and the vehicle
to the police station.
• , The officer who was in plain
clothes was seated in the back
seat of the police car with two of
the youths, who, thinking he was
another prisoner, placed a
package which was later
determined to be marijuana,
behind the front seat of the police
car, according to the police
report.
The driver of the vehicle, a
17-year-old Mason County youth,
The Mason County Sheriff's
Office arrested a young couple,

possession of marijuana.

officials and the Naval Facilities
Engineering Command in Seattle
have filed.reports that the railroad
track between Bangor
Ammunition Depot and Shelton
is safe.
The inspection by the two
groups was apparently a prelude
to the shipment of nerve gas over
the rail line on its way from
Okinawa to the Umatilla Army
Ordnance Depot at Hermiston,
Ore.
The trackage is owned by the
Navy and operated by Northern
Pacific.
Officials, whose attention had
been brought to loose spikes on
the railroad trackage, said the
loose spikes were a normal
occurance and would be fixed in
the process of routing
maintenance.
Both said the tracks were
within the limits of safety for
tracks of that class.
In Washington D.C., the Army
announced plans to construct
facilities to burn gas stored at the
Rocky Mountain Arsenal rather
than ship it to the Atlantic Ocean
for disposal.
