Quiggle said Daly had contacted him from California late in October and at that time he told Daly he could return but that Daly had not done so when he (Quiggle) resigned and left the Shelton School District. Under cross examination by J.A. VanderStoep, Chehalis attorney who represented the school district, Quiggle stated the only official action taken by the board while he was with the district was to sign the contract for Daly's employment.

Duly stated he did not have money to return at the time he had talked to Quiggie. He stated when he did arrive back in Washington in December, he had contacted the Shelton School District Office and found that Quiggle was no longer there and that Rudy Oltman was taking his place.

The bill permits the Department of Natural Resources and Simpson Timber Company to make a property trade for land which the county would then be able to lease from the Department of Natural Resources for the land fill site. Originally, the county had sought legislative approval for the return to the county of 160 acres of tax deed land which had been turned over to the Department of Natural Resources for management a number of years ago. The county intended, if it was able to get the land back, to then make the trade itself to acquire the land fdl site. It was discovered when the process was started in Olympia the land turned back to the county, so, as a substitute, the bill to allow the Department of Natural Resources to make the trade was introduced and passed. County Planner James Connolly commented that approval of the property trade does not mean the trade will happen immediately, but that negotiations taking several months may be necessary before it is completed. Kerr m! The trial of Harry Kerr, Grapeview, on charges of second degree murder is scheduled to start in Mason County Superior Court Monday morning.

The previous levy, which was defeated last month, was broken down into several areas with specific amounts for specific that it would be impossible to get school board, said the special levy thin~. Acquiring a suitable site for a sanitary land fill is the first step in a project between the city and county to establish a county-wide solid waste disposal plan which will lead to the closure of the city dump and the four dumps operated by the county and a halt to all burning at garbage dumps in the county. The plan, recommended in a comprehensive solid waste disposal plan prepared for the county, calls for a county-wide compulsory garbage collection fee to finance the operation. The plan includes provision for dumping stations in several areas of the county where garbage could be dumped into trucks and from there taken to the land fill site for disposal. The city and county officials have been working on preparations for the plan for some time but, have faced the first hurdle, that of acquiring a site and with the passage of the recent legislation permitting the property exchange, the project moves a big step toward getting going. A Mason County Superior Court jury, in a verdict brought in Tuesday evening, awarded $40,000 in damages to Mrs. Stanley Darland in her suit against Fire District Five. The case involved a traffic accident in which Mrs. Darland's car and one driven by Ronald Burke, a volunteer fireman for the fire district collided. The accident occured while Burke was on his way from his home to the fire station at Victor in answer to a fire call. He was driving his private vehicle at the time. An action by Mrs. Darland against Burke had been settled out of court before the action against the Fire District came to trial. Burke testified he was on his way from his home to the Victor Fire Station in response to a fire call at the time of the accident. He testified he had gone over the center line on a curve at the time of the accident and was later convicted of reckless driving in justice court as the result of the accident. Fire Chief Richard Knight of Fire District Five testified Burke was responding to a call made by his (Knight's) wife, Barbara, after the fire truck from the Allyn station had become stuck while on the way to a vehicle fire call. Mrs. Darland testified she had received an injury to her head, knee and arm as a result of the accident. She said the head injury had healed and that there was no impairment to her use of her arm although she did have scars on her arm.

Vander Steep, in his final arguments, stated that under the contract Daly could be transferred to other duties and that only the school board could fire him. The attorney stated that the school board had taken only two official actions, to hire Duly and to inform him by letter they considered he had abandoned his contract. He commented Duly was not a stable, responsible person and that any obstructions in the way of his success in the district were of his own making. ANNE pAVEL, member of the Skokomish Tribal Council and chairman of the education committee, outlines plans for a mini-learning center. leadership the project will be organized and classes promptly begun. Anne Pavel emphasizes the fact that Karnilche Indians and those living in Shelton and vicinity are included in the educational opportunities to be made available. Mrs. Pavel, born and reared on the Skokomish Indian Reservation and graduated from Shelton High School, completed training in St. Joseph's Hospital School of Nursing in Tacoma. Married a year later to an Air Force career man, she traveled Knitting instruction includes the creation of authentic Indian designs. Historical and cultural information is garnered from the personal knowledge of older tribal members. Indian children last summer attended a 4-H camp, visited Tacoma and enjoyed a day at Grisdale through funding by the Tribal Council. "We hope," declares Anne Pavel, "that the new program will prove to be a continuous, year-round project, to open new fields of learning and to provide recreational facilities for Indians of all ages."
