Couldn't resist copying the Seattle P.l.'s "Today's Chuckle" for you. "A kid brought home a Watergate report card. First, he denied there was a report card, then he couldn't find it and, when he finally did find it, three grades were erased." And for those of us who can't see our own mistakes, God gave us neighbors. Happy first day of spring! Port commission (Continued from page one.) Allyn Port, would remain in the present district while all properties would become a part of the regional district. It was felt by the Port District members that the bill would be business-oriented and would not provide for launching ramps, docks and other recreational facilities. The secretary was directed to write a letter to the Washington Public Ports Association and to Representatives Savage and Conner and Senator Sandison, objecting to the bill. In other business, letters were written to the Cotton Corporation regarding their failure to remove the oyster shells near the Allyn dock as they had agreed to do. Consideration of the port comprehensive plan was postponed because of the absence of the engineer. It is believed by the commissioners that a public meeting should be held on the comprehensive plan before it is adopted. The request of Harold Hayes, dock caretaker, for a written ordinance for the dock was deemed impractical at this time and the port would continue to rely on the rules posted at the dock and the sheriff's office in case of serious trouble.

School authorities concerned over cuts if April 8 levy fails Considerable time was spent at last week's meeting of the North Mason school directors in discussing the consequences to the local schools if the Apr. 8 levy request is turned down by the voters. Cuts from staff, programs and supplies, which would have to be made to operate without levy funds, were outlined in last week's issue of the Herald. It is expected that almost half of the teachers would have to go and the superintendent, Norm Sanders, stated that• serious consideration would have to be given to double shifting if the levy fails. At one point, Principal Ken Anderson said, "It is my personal opinion that if the levy fails the cuts will affect the level of education so seriously that it won,t be worth operating the schools." Others in the audience stated that they felt many taxpayers did not realize that the levy request, although higher than last year because the state has included more sources of local school revenue in the equalization formula which spreads the money to all school districts, will be only $1.42 more per thousand'dollar evaluation of property than what taxpayers were assessed this year for the school levy. It was pointed out that special levies are for one year only and have to be voted on each year. The levy approved last year was for the 1975 tax statement only, although some of the money will be used for the 1975-76 school year because it will not be collected until after the 1974-75 school year ends June 30. In other board business: The superintendent stated that the deadline had passed for Mr. and Mrs. Larry Chilton to appeal through the courts the board's decision to uphold the 90-day suspension of their son. I t w as announced that enrollment in the local school district was continuing to increase; on Feb. 1 it was 1,079 students while it had been 1,044 last September when school reopened. Permission was granted to hire a head coach for the girls' track team at $407 for the season and an assistant coach for $244. Permission was granted by the board to hire an assistant coach for the: boys' track team at $325 for tl~season. IA,.question was asked f~rn the,!audience, "Why do the coaches for the boys get more than the coaches for the gifts?" (head coach Ran Angus gets $569 for his work with the boys' team) and high school principal Ralph Lackey said that in some cases the girls' sport seasons are shorter than the boys' but that in the track program the gifts and boys have exactly the same schedule and he felt the coaches should get equal pay and hoped something would be done about it by next year. A proposed Reduction in Force (RIF) policy was submitted to the board by the super- intendent, who recommended the board adopt such a policy at the Apr. 14 meeting, especially if the levy fails and cuts must be made. President of the North Mason Education Association, Jan Esarey, said his association had presented the board with a copy of a RIF policy they wish to have adopted and asked that his group's objection to the right of the board to adopt a RIF policy without agreement on the policy by N.M.E.A. be entered in the minutes of the meeting. A request by the superintendent that the school d istrict pay one year's membership in Belfair Chamber of Commerce with school administrators taking turns attending the meetings was not acted on by the board. A proposed Affirmative Action policy was read by the superintendent with board members requested to approve the policy next month. Acting chairman Gene Foster appointed a committee to review the 2-year-old policy on attendance (excusing students for state tournaments) after a report from the superintendent that some problems had come up this spring which were not covered in the present policy. Board chairman Carol Wentlandt and board member Jim Yoest were absent from the meeting.

Weed control hearing set The newly-formed Mason County Noxious Weed Control Board will hold a public hearing Mar. 25 at 3 p.m. in the county courthouse at Shelton. Purpose of the meeting is to adopt rules and regulations for the control of tansy ragwort. A few plants of this poisonous weed have been reported in the North Mason area. The weed has become a serious problem in some fields south of Shelton, also is extensive in (;rays Harbor and Thurston Counties. When eaten by cows and horses, either in hay or pasture, their livers become affected and they may linger on in a thin, weak condition for a number of months. Sheep and goats apparently are not affected by the weed. Control of a small number of plants can be done by digging up the roots. In large fields or along the public highways, the only practical control is spraying the plants in the early spring. Some public funds are available. Anyone with questions or suggestions about this matter may call Tom Davis, 275-2032, the weed board member from the North Mason area, or weed board chairman Larry Kegg, 426-6700.
