"The pressures and distresses
our youth are confronted with
every day demand a great deal of
attention. When was the last time
you actually listened to your
child? Chances are you didn't
have much time to listen. I see a
tendency on the part of parents
to exercise control and discipline
rather than spend the time to
listen and understand. I believe
this to be a combination of
factors involving social, economic
and political realities of our
present-day society.
"The family unit has changed
dramatically in the past 50 years.
We must accept the fact that
perhaps demands placed on us as
adults make it difficult for us to
devote as much time and
attention to our children as we
would like to, or that is needed.
For this reason we must recognize
the need for full-time professional
people who specialize in working
with young people.
"It is not that we have failed
as parents, although we must
accept part of the responsibility.
With urbanization, the growth of
population centers, world and
national events which are
reported to us instantaneously,
liberalized attitudes toward sex
and marriage, experimenting with
drugs, and a variety of other
changes that you and I could both
add to this brief list, the reality is
that the world has changed and
we must adapt."

Darrell Klein, manager of the
Hy-Lond Retirement Inn, plans to
appeal to the Shelton city
commission a unanimous decision
Tuesday night by the planning
commission to reject a requested
variance decreasing the number of
parking stalls at the inn.
The variance was requested by
Klein to make space for a senior
citizens' park in the lot with eight
remaining stalls and had been
recommended by the planning
commission to the city
commission in December. Later,
however, both commissions found
that the planning commission had
had the authority to make the
final decision. With that
responsibility, the planning
commission decided to take a
closer look at the situation.
At Tuesday's meeting,
Howard Godat, city engineer,
presented a recommendation on
behalf of the engineering
department to deny the variance.
He said, "Our department has
looked long and hard at the
problem. Twenty-one stalls are
already under the required
number (of 48 for the Hy-Lond).
If you decrease the number from
48 to eight, I could find little
defense for the zoning ordinance.
kept at the Meil Chevrolet garage,
Klein said.
Also, at Tuesday's meeting, he
announced that the rental of stalls
to Shelton Hardware had been
recently discontinued.

boarding house for the elderly,

Robert A. Fredrickson, 20,
Hoodsport, was arrested by
Mason County sheriff's deputies
Monday evening on a charge of
second degree burglary.
Sheriff's officers said he was
arrested in connection with a
burglary of the Endicott Realty
office in Hoodsport. The burglary
was reported to the sheriff's
office Monday morning and an
"congregate care facility" by the
state. Even though this
classification is defined in part as
a boarding home, no specific
designation is included in the
Shelton zoning ordinance for
group homes for the elderly.
Clint Wiliour, secretary of the
planning commission, said, "We
investigation started then.
Officers said a window in the
southwest comer of the building
was broken out to gain entrance.
A radio and some change was
taken in the burglary.
Fredrickson was arrested
shortly before midnight Monday
and was booked into the county
jail without bail pending filing of
formal charges against him.

The vacation of a strip of
property along Highway 101 for

hearing at which no one appeared
to object to or in support of the
request.
A letter received from Alice

because of the benefits of a senior
citizen park.
Godat defended the denial by
saying. "We don't like to take the
role of denying anything,
especially because we need parks.
But the relevant question here is
the number of parking stalls."
In defense of his proposed
reduction, Klein has maintained
that the lot is used very little by
those connected with Hy-Lond.
He has said that at most, three
employees and occasional visitors
to Hy-Lond use the lot. Because
of the age of Hy-Lond residents,
only two own cars and these are

Suggesting that perhaps the
zoning ordinance is outdated,
Godat recommended that Klein
write a letter to the city
commission requesting a revision
in the ordinance to make
allowances for situations of this
kind.
Wednesday, Klein said he
planned to take the request to the
nex t meeting of the city
commission on Tuesday. He said,
"I'm going to carry this thing as
far as ! can carry it. I'm not going
to quit."
In the meantime, Klein said,
he will fence the lot allowing only
employees and visitors of
Hy-Lond to park there.
He said, "I enjoy these old
people. I enjoy my work. 1 think
they should have an outdoor
