Grant Hartline, an 18-year-old
Shelton youth is reported to be
in good condition at the She[ton
General Hospital after a motor-
cycle accident at tle intersection
of 13th and Laurell streets Sun-
day,
Hartline is reporteci t.a have
been traveling SouLhcast wtxer
two dogs began cP.asing the ve-
hicle. He stated that he swerved
to avoid the animals when he lost
control of the motorcycle. He ca-
reened across the treet and into
the Laurel Sl:reet residence of
James Walters where he was
thrown from the bike and into
the side of the house.
The report of the accident was
phoned to the Shelton Police Sta-
tion by Mrs. Laurel Weston a
3:58 in the afternoon. Thrce po-
lice officers and the ambulance
from Batstone's Fmerat Home
were dispatched t:o th( scem of
the mishap and Hart]ine was tak-
en to Shelton General hospital
where he was treated for multiple
lacerations of the face,, Accord-
ing to Dr. B. B. Formosan. Hart-
line was in minor surgery for
nearly two hours and some ski
grafting may be necessary in the
future.
Private Housing
Survey Sought
A survey to determine what pri+
vale houtling in this area may be
availabIe for Century 21 Fair
tourists is being undertaken by
the Shelton-Mason County Cham-
ber of Commerce.
People interested in renting
rooms or guest cottages are asked
to write the Chamber. P.O. box
269, Shelton, giving ddtails of tlieir
accommodations.
Premises will he inspected and
rates suggested equal to commer-
cial housing rates. Only clean,
nicely furnished quarter., with
good beds and congenial surround-
ings will be considered..
Surveys show tourist dollars are
spent almost equally tor lodging,
food, transportation, and miscel-
laneous purchases, no any extra
lodging dollars which can be at-
tracted here would add to the
community economy, Chamber
leaders point out,
Private housing wotld be util-
ized only after commercial space
had been filled. :It is believed the
infhlx of Ccntm'y 21 vtsitora to
Ihe Northwest will keep commer-
cial housing sa, Lurated during the
Fair and that a considerable am-
mmt of overflow can be diverted
to private sources.
