non-profit corporation, has been
called, by the president, Mildred
Pollock, for 8 p.m. March 5, at
the Quilcene V.F.W. Hall, next to
the Texaco Station in Quilcene.
"All brush workers are
welcome", Mrs. Pollock said.
"Non-members are especially
welcome to come and see what
this group is doing to better the
working conditions of all brush
workers," she added.
She commented, "We wish to
call attention to the fact that

Wheel Chair Fund Grows
Mrs. Daisy Riggs expressed
appreciation this week to all the
citizens of Mason County who
have made donations for her
wheel chair and the people who
have offered their wheel chairs to
her.
Because of Mrs. Riggs'
condition she can not use just any
wheel chair• The new chair which
will be ordered when enough
money is raised will be assembled
to fit her measurements. The
wheel chair she has now does not
fit her body and is causing her
great pain. This is why it is so
important to get Mrs. Riggs a
wheel chair to fit her body.
Mrs. Riggs would like to
especially thank Bill Sollock who
gave his wheel chair to her even
though she could not use it. The
chair was much too large for Mrs.
School Board
The Shelton School Board
will hold its regular March
meeting at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the
Evergreen School Library.
Riggs so she asked her son to
replace worn wheels on her chair
with the wheels from Bill's wheel
chair. Now Mrs. Riggs can get out
of her house without fear of her
wheel chair falling apart until she
recieves her new one.
Mrs. Riggs' son put the wheels
from her old chair on Bill's chair
and gave it to a lady in Shelton
who is paralyzed and in need of a
wheel chair.
The Multi-Service Center has
been investigating and found a
great number of people in this
county who need wheel chairs•
The Multi-Service Center
would like to offer their services
in this matter. If anyone has a
wheel chair they would like to
donate to a person in need, they
should contact the Multi-Service
Center 233 2nd St. Shelton or
phone 426-2568 or 426-2571.
Anyone in need of a wheel chair
please contact the Multi-Service
Center.
The center reported that as of
Tuesday, the wheel chair fund for
Mrs. Riggs totaled $271.93 of the
slightly more than $400 needed.
Hears A
an
now selling for 30 cents. We are
way overdue for a raise. Some
plants are advertising for brush at
this time but are still denying us a
price raise•
"Faced with fluctuating prices,
always lower, paid the pickers by
the shipper-wholesalers, she and
four other board members met
with 25 dissatisfied brush workers
during October in Brinnon to
form the Evergreen Workers.
Since then we have formed two
area groups, one in Shelton, and
one in Port Orchard. We have
members from 15 different areas
and hope to form area groups in
any town that has a brush plant.
"Few people realize that a
'brush farming" industry exists,
but many in the brush harvesting
industry own or lease substantial
tracts of land. Most people think
of brush pickers as some transient
welfare recipient who stops
anywhere by the side of the road,
picks a bunch of brush, than sells
it for some fantastic price. This
just isn't true. Certainly there are
some non-professionals, but most
of us work at the business and are
trying to protect our
investments", Mrs. Pollock said.
All brush workers, fern pickers
and independent plant managers
are welcome to the March 5
meeting.
