SEEK A public hearing in the Courthouse Monday brought I BUNNY EQS charges from Clark's attorney Frank Heuston that Sheriff Easter S,mday premiss fun W. A. Potter had disregarded the Civil Service law in firing and excitement for all pre- Clark. schoolers and elementary-level chlhlren from one to eleven.

Carlson and Oscar hevin. the dismissal of the junior deputy on the staff. Houston said that since Juvenile Officer Harold Brown, who serves part-time as deputy, was hired after Clark, hc would have been the person in line for dismissal. THE APPEAL was the first brought in Mason County since the approval of Initiative 23 in the 1958 General Election. The Initi- ative, placing sheriff's deputies un- der civil service, went into effect December 4, 1958. Clark testified that he had been told by. ,tl¢.b2if,/ after December 4 tb look for another job. Clark was written a formal letter of dis. missal commendhg him for his work. Heuston asserted that since no charge of misconduct was involved, under the Civil Service Act the only grounds for dismissal would be junior status. Clark had been on the force 18 months at the time he was released, Brown, 14 months, It is not mandatory that an em- ployee be carried if funds are not available, McClanahan argued. "I don't see how you can reinstate a man to a position that doesn't exist." Sheriff Potter said that he had received "more complaints on Clark than on other people." How- ever, under heatec] questioning by Heuston, Potter admitted, "No member of the public complained about Clark." POTTER ANGRILY denied the remark by Heuston that Clark posed a political threat. Clark was defeated by a small margin in the November election for County Clerk. We all wished him luck,' Pot- ter said. "If he had been elected,  would have solved the problem the budget reduction." Potter continued, "After he lost, he said he would keep campaigning for two more years. I told him if he was not satisfied, he'd better look for another job." Potter said he had not included Clark in projected schedules for January because "I more or leas assumed he'd found another job." THE DELETION of funds for one deputy's salary by the county commissioners raised extensive questioning of the Sheriff's Office budget by Henston. "It was stated Clark was dis- missed for budgetary reasons; I think we have a right to get into the budget," Heuston snapped. Potter testlfidd that the cut in salary funds was prompted by the addition of kitchen facilities to the May Day Will Be'Shay .Day' L:'y*'Day will be "fxty Day" in Shelton, the Chamber of.Com- merce declared Monday. The historic shay locomotive will be moved to Brenner Park on Friday, May 1. There the shay will be permanently installed on a concrete foundation, near Me- morial Hall. Local merchants are planning special retail events for Shay Day. Dedication of the shay, donated by Simpson Logging Co., will take place during the Forest Festival. Forms are being installed in the park by city crews, awaiting dry weather for pouring of con- crete. Contributions for the &hay pro- ject are still being accepted by the Chamber, according to Dick Souliere, president. In other railroading action, the Chamber Board of Directors voted to donate an ancient caboose to the Puget Sound Historical So- ciety. The Society will pay moving costs.

Additions have been built to the main .buildings al- ready," OItman declared, The expansl,m possibility Js real. istlc in the case of Angle and Ev- ergreen buildings, Oltman added. However, this would mean about 1900 students in this area and the coneent]'ation of pupils will be heavy "If the plan to maintah seventh .graders in grade schools is ac- cepted, thLs would eliminate the cost of erecting new buildings.
