ton City Commission for April 20
for requests for street vacations
which will snake way for the con-
struction of two ncw clmrches in
Shelton.
:Mervin Settle requested the va-
cation of dedicated streets in
property he owns in the vicinity
of Pioneer Way and Wyandotte
St. on which Mt. Olive Lutheran
Church plans to construct a slew
church.
Settle told the commission in
a letter last week that he plan-
sled to replat the remainder el the
property not taken up by the pro-
posed new church and that streets
in new locations would be in-
cluded in the replat. None of the
streets in question have b e e n
opened.
A IIEARING WAS AI.SO set
for April 20 on a request, from
the Shelton Methodist Church to
vacate all of t~e streets in and
bordering five blocks of property
it owns in the Mr. View Area on
which it plans to build a new
ehlmch.
THE REQUEST for vacation
was submitted by AI Wooldridge,
representing the church.
'] The commission, on the recom-
, mendation of City Supervisor Pat
Byrne, voted to award the con-
tract for a cab and chassis for
a new garbage truck to Jim Paul-
]ey Inc., for a Ford truck with
Inn automatic transmission. A pac-
[ker body for the track waspur-
chased earlier. The Paulcy bid on
the truck of $8,034.39 was low
of two received last week. The
other bidder was Kimbel Motors.
A contract for a new street
sweeper was awarded to Fee-
naughty Equipment Co., Seattle,
for $9,661.36. This was the low
of three bids opened Monday.
Other bidders were Sahlberg
Equipment and Totem Equipment,
both of Seattle.
A request for a permit to oper-
ate a trailer com't at 13th and
Cota was referred to the plan-
ning commission to c'qnsider an
application for a conditional ex-
ception to permit the operation.

that plans for a census of the
city population April 1-6 were
progrcssing. He said that Ralph
Horton, who has been hired as
supervisor of the project, along
with three enumerators wile have

craters will haw identificationl
badges which will identify them.
d

is not visited by the census tak-
ers to contact city hall.

granted a one-year leave of ab-
sence from the Shelton Police De-
partment last month asking that

the Shelton Hotel.
Seidl is in charge of the Simp-
son Research facility at Bellvue.
He was introduced by .Max
Schmidt Jr. of the Simpson office
here•
Following is a prepared text of
Seidl's remarks at the Chmnber
meeting.
"We are nearing the 75th year
of Simpson. With this auspicious
!event at hand, I am pleased that
a relative itewcomer to the North-
west like me is invited to talk.
,,Although I have lived in dif-
ferent parts of the country for
much of my life, I heard about
Simpson, particularly through its
sustained yield unit, years before
I had any idea of being associated
u~th the company. I can assure
you that the re!ationships gener-
ated by actions of the comnnmity,
the Forest Service, and the com-
pany have built a good national
reputation. The story can be found
in libraries all over the country,
and I hope the young people will
take the tinlc to read it.
"I am slot certain what I should
attempt to tell about Simpson to
a group that knows- the company
so well. Y()~I hear so much about
it from real experts like Max
Schmidt, Hal McClary, Hank Ba-
con, Al Petzold, Bud Puhn, Bill
the importance that the Olympic
Peninsula has to Simpson as man-
ifested, for example, by the new
expansion program, then nothing
I could say would really make any
difference.
"Perhaps I should talk more
about Simpson in general, but em-
phasize research and product dev-
elopment and problems and oppor-
tunities that lie ahead.
"To set the climate 1 must enl-
phasize the need for us to be as
adaptable to change as we can
possibly be. About the only thing
we know about the future is that
it will be different from the past,
that it. won't match what we think
is going to happen, and that we
are moving into problem areas at
a faster rate than we know how
to solve problems. One clear point
is that wit]lout continuous res-
ponse to change wc will certainly
be in trouble.
Ba,eause of the lack of space
this week, the conclusion of Mr.
~idl's talk will lm printed next
wc~k.
