its meeting Tuesday.
Patrolman Cecil McLain,
president of the recently-formed
group, presented the commission
with an agreement naming the
group as the sole bargaining agent
for members of the police
department.
Mayor Frank Travis told
McLain the commission would
withhold action on the agreement

Heuston was available to make a
recommendation on any legal
points involved.
McLain stated he planned to
send a petition to the state board

member since he represents the

in
Mark A. Antich, 20, Shelton,
was given a two-year deferred
sentence after pleading guilty to a
charge of possession of a
controlled substance
(amphetamines) before Judge
Frank Baker Monday morning.
Antich had earlier pleaded not
guilty to the charge and his trial
had been set to start before a
superior court jury Monday
morning.
Motions to deny admission of
a verbal confession and for
supression of evidence which had
been made by his court-appointed
attorney, Gerald Whitcomb,
Shelton, were both denied. After
the motions were denied, Antich
changed his plea from not guilty
to guilty.
In addition to the two-year
deferred sentence, Antich was
ordered to pay $250 into the
current expense fund of Mason
County over the two-year period
and was ordered to spend five
weekends in jail.
During the Saturdays he is in
jail the judge ordered that he
spend one hour each Saturday
sitting in the courtroom by
himself. The judge commented
that he wanted Antich to become
so familiar with' the ,:ourtroom
that he would never want to ceme
back there as a defendant.
Judge Baker also ordered that
on the Saturdays Antich spends in
custody a construction type

Testifying during the hearings
on the admissability of the verbal
confession and motion to supress
evidence were Trooper Richard
Peregrin, Shelton Police
Patrolman Cecil McLain and
Deputy Sheriff Dale Haynes.

after determining mat they were
under 21 and appeared to have
been drinking he placed them
under arrest on charges of being
minors in possession of and
consuming liquor.
During a search of the car he
found five pills which proved to
be amphetamines, commonly
known as speed.
Antich was one of three boys
in the car. The driver of the car at
the time was Mary Ninnis and
that the owner of the car was Jill
Ritzschke, who was also a
passenger in the vehicle.
Peregrin testified the six were
taken to the Mason County Jail
where they were searched and
booked on charges on which they
had been arrested.
He told the court that while
he was sitting at a table in the
kitchen area talking to Miss
Ninnis and filling out the booking
sheet on her, Antich came up to
him and stated the drugs found in
the car were his.
McLain testified that he had
answered a call for back-up after
Peregrin made the traffic stop and
that he had gone to the scene and
had transported the three girls to
the jail in his patrol car.
tte stated he stayed around
the jail area during the booking
procedures to assist if needed. He
stated he was standing in the
kitchen when Antich came up to
him and asked if Miss Ninnis
would be charged with possession
of the drugs since she was driving
the car.
McLain stated he told Antich
he did not want to talk about it
since it was not his arrest and that
he should talk to Peregrin.
Haynes testified he was on
duty that night as jailer-dispatcher
and that he had searched the
three young men and had called a
matron to search the girls.
He stated he was at the
A jury was being picked
Wednesday morning to hear the
case of Robert Daly, one-time
Shelton school psychologist
against the Shelton School
District.
At noon Wednesday, the jury
selection was still going on.
The case involves the question
of whether Daly was dismissed or
left his position as school
psychologist after about five days
at the beginning of the school
year in 1965.
The case came before a
superior court jury here once
before, and was dismissed by
Judge Charles Wright after the
completion of Daly's case.
The ruling was appealed and
the state supreme court reversed
the ruling and sent the case back
to superior court for trail.
Daly contends he was told by
former Superintendent Robert
Quiggle that he was dismissed
from his position.

The singing, dancing,
story-telling and pantomime of
the eight professional actors were
heightened, accented and
embellished by the brilliant,
rollicking piano of musical
director Stan Keen, whose
obvious personal enjoyment was
in itself a tribute to the fresh and
spontaneous originality of the
youthful thespians.
As the plaid-coverall-clad
people ran, leaped, danced and
ostured upon the Shelton
gymnasium floor in performances
presented at 10 a.m. and again at
1 p.m., children and supervising
adults alike were transported to a
world of most convincing
make-believe.
Before the wide, round eyes
of a completely captivated

Enrichment Program.
audience a handsome young man
changed into a horse. His body
assumed an equine stance; dark
hair became a flowing mane; arms
were flying forefeet as the spirited
animal reared and pranced and
galloped over boards transformed
in imagination to turf.
In another moment horse had
turned into eagle and swiftly arms
were wings and the fluid body
seemingly soared. Again and again
by magic metamorphosis the
actor unerringly created the
illusion of varied animals and
objects, attaining even the shape
and essence of a grain of barley as
he fell to earth before his ultimate
restoration to his natural form.
A vivacious Miss Muffett sat
upon a most accomodating tuffet
who balanced on two knees and
one hand while profferring the
proverbial bowl in which.the
maiden perceived in surprised glee
the traditional curds and whey.
An actress carried piggy-back
supplied extra appendages for the
spider who, with a frantic waving
of arms and legs, frightened away
not only Miss Muffet but her
faithful tuffet as well.
A youth, obviously
performing in the Shelton
gymnasium, held in his hand an
invitation to a party in New York.
What to do!
Obliging cast members
quickly knelt to assemble an
airplane. The propellor moved
and human wings tilted as the
plane was apparently airbourne,
but suddenly the vehicle
disintegrated.
"Good luck!" came the
jubilant cry from the cast as the
portions, of the plane promptly
encircled the gyrating passenger.
"He has a parachute!"
"Bad luck!" The despairing
words were sighed as the chute
failed to function.
"Good luck! He's falling into
a haystack!"
"Bad luck! There's a
pitchfork in the haystack!"
"Good luck! He missed the
pitchfork!"
"Bad luck! He missed the
haystack!"
"Good luck! He fell in the
water !"
"Bad luck! There are sharks in
the water !"
"Good luck! He can swim!"
Not a single sound was made
by hundreds of hypnotized
onlookers as an astounding series
of enacted misadventures and
near-disasters led the hero
ultimately through a forest
infested with ferocious beasts.
Finding refuge in a cave, he at
long last tunneled upward to
burst through a dance floor into
the very party to which he had
been invited!
