TEENAGE DRINKING
Editor. The Journal:
It's ar known fact that anyone
undar the age of 21 cannot pur-
chase liquor. \\;Ve read in news-
papers (constantly that teenage
drinking is a problem and getting
worse.
Well in out" estimation before
it gets bettm something is going
to iave to be done about the adult
suppl'¢ing this liquor. A person,
by tt{e report in your paper has
l)een found gu{ltj of I.his C'rime,
here in Shelton. The penalty to
begin with was very little" (30
ays) then lie gets it reduced to
.]0.,(lays then only has to go to
jan on weekends. That's not. much
of a penalty considering the seri-
ousness of the charge.
In order to stop the drinking
probh-m we believe it should be
stopped at the source, in other
Words the person supplying the
children. When one is actually
fonnd guilty of this violation they
should be given the maximum pe-
nalty or is this the maximum for
such a horrible act!

SUPPORT PALMER
Editor, Shelton Mason County
Journal :
Congratulations to Dean Palmer
on his letter published Jan. 31 in
the Journal. The inconsistencies
he mentioned are too real to be
imagined. State or Federal money
is the same whether it is spent for
an institution, a highway, or a
sewer project. Why accept it for
one and not the other?
The economy of She]ton and
Mason County is of great interest
to me as I still own a home there
although I can not afford to live in
it.
When Rayonier closed its Shel-
ton mill in 1958 some of its em-
ployees were able to find work
locally while others, including
quite a number of us here in Sitka,
Alaska, had to leave the area to
find steady employment.
We manage to keep in touch
with conditions there by making
an occasional visit "back home"
and hearing from friends who still
live there. Many of these friends
are working steadily but some,
of course are not.
There is a very interesting news
item that was printed on the
same page as Dean's letter entit-
led "Local Spending is up for
food, ears." When a larger percen-
tage of the Consumer dollars is
spent for these two essential items
(Private transportation is a must
in Mason County), it indicates that
thm'e are more people who just
haven't the money to spend fm
less essential ones.
This leads up to the only area
in which I do not fully agree with
Palmer's letter. Invite new indus-
tries in, yes! But if Simpson builds
another board plant or other forest
products plant, thus Undoubtedly
printed Jan. 31.
Sincerely
Ray Collins, St.

Proposed Harstine Island bridge. Earl Crossan of Auburn.
The proposed Harstine Bridge is
not a million-dollar expenditure.
The estimated cost being $720.000.
The present ferry is obsolete, and
inadequate, and must be replaced
within the next two years. The
estimated cost for this would be
around $200,000. Then add on t
$20.000 a year operating dencit,
and what would the expenditures
reach in twenty years? Mr. Col-
lins was int@ested in knowing the
assessed value of the island. As-
sessed value is $636,200, and actu-
al value $3,181.000. With a bridge,
property values could easily
double. Actually, there are as
many property owners on Har-
stine (if not more) than anywhere
in the county.
Harstine Island , which is next
to Vashon in size in lower Puget
Sound. has the potential of be-
coming the greatest asset in Ma-
son County. Because of it's clean,
quiet-waters, mild climate and se-
rene beauty, it has attracted
hundreds of people who plan on
making it their "Retirement
Haven". Besides those from our
own state, many from other states.
bare property on the island and
plan to improve their property.
How refreshing to know that most
of these property owners planning
to retire on our beautiful island,
are business and professional
people, of high caliber, who will
become a real asset to our com-
nnmity. Shelton will realize much
business as well as prestige from
such newcomers.
Many small industries will
thrive on the island when tile
bridge becomes a reality. It will
give the islanders a real boost, for
they have known many hardships
through the years, because of poor
accessability.
To develop one part of the
county, brings beneficial results to
the rest. Why not make , trip to
the mlan,t, I'm sure you will be
welcomed, and see what Harstine
Island has to offer?

An Estate in the Building
This little fellow's untroubled sleep is well founded-his
parents have had the foresight to invest in his future with a
LIFECO Juvenile Estate Builder insurance policy. They
are saving [or him now so that there will be money for col-
lege, buying a home or starting a business. And his protec-
tion multiplies as he grows older. For example, a $2,000
Juvenile Estate Builder policy will become $10,000 worth of
protection when he is 21-at no increase in premium. Call
us today about an Estate Builder for your children.
