HEDDY GODWIN
"Can't turn them loose."
APRIL CARROLL
"Depends on the situation."
HOBERT HEDRICK
"They're more animals."
By DIANE HUCILS
An eye for an eye and a tooth
for a tooth is the way the
majority of people felt when
asked about capital punishment in
a poll taken this week by the
Journal.
"Do you approve of the death
penalty.¢' was the question asked
of various persons on the streets
of Shelton.
Thirteen of the 18 persons
polled said yes. Some of them felt
the culprit deserves it, and others
cited the idea that the penalty
would be the only way to deter
potential criminals from
committing extreme crimes.
Five of the persons polled felt
that the death penalty is not right
and that there are other
alternatives in the punishment of
criminals.
Kay Cowles, housewife, Rt. 5,
Box 129 - Yes. They say it's not
a deterrent. But if they have a
death penalty, they can't escape
and commit the same crime over
again. When a man kills five or six
people - there's got to be a limit.
I don't like the death penalty, but
I don't see any workable
alternatives.
George Duggins, steel worker,
Rt. 2, Box 903A - Yes, 1 do. The
rate of crime has gone up over
400 percent since 1969, and if I
had committed a murder myselt, I
wouldn't want to live.
Rose Diemert, cook, 729 Pine
- Not really. It depends upon
what they've done.
Orville Boling, apartment
manager, Lima - No. ! don't
believe in an eye for an eye and a
tooth for a tooth. I believe there's
another way. i'm a church
member, and 1 don't believe that's
the right way to do it.
Lela Clark, housewife, 405 W.
D Street - I don't know for sure.
Sometimes it should be. If they
kill somebody, then they should
get the same thing.
Mrs. Phil Stoppler, housewife,
418 Dearborn - I think there are
times when it should be applied.
R. J. MeGrew, retired, 2124
Walker Park Rd. - Yes, I do. I
just can't see supporting some guy
for the rest of his natural life
when he's committed some
horrible crime. I'm an old eye for
an eye guy. I think our judicial
system is ridiculous, second only
to our congressional system.
Betty Kilgore, housewife, Rt.
5 - No, because I don't think it's
right. I think there's a better way
to go about it. I think they should

among candidates from Oregon,
Idaho, Alaska and British
Columbia from which the
Northwest winner will be chosen.
Clothier, son of Mr. and Mrs.
M. A. Clothier, St. of Shelton, left
Shelton High School before
graduating to join the Navy. He
received his bachelor of science
degree from Western Washington
State College, and in 1953 earned
his master's degree in science
eduation at Western.
After teaching one year in
Aberdeen, Clothier taught in the
Bellingham School District until
settling in Sehome near
Bremerton in 1966.
Clothier has a special interest
in anthropology-archeology.
Seven years ago he received a
federal grant to take students on a
field trip to the Southwest where
his interest in archeology began.
Later in the'term, they began a
dig on Semiahmoo Spit which has
become an annual field trip for
interested students,
Two years ago, another
federal grant extended the project
into a six-week summer project
for which it received special
attention by the state public
instruction office in its
"i'nnovative projects in
Washington" section.
Clothier and his wife, Nita,
who teaches humanities at the
college level, have developed an
interest in Greek archaeology
through re6ent trips to Greece
taken on sabbatical leaves. They
are now planning a course which
would combine archaeology,
humanities, and Greek history.
Man's source
The source of man's unhappiness
is his ignorance of Nature. The
pertinacity with which he clings
to blind opinions imbibed in his
infancy, which interweave
themselves with his existence, the
consequent prejudice that warps
his mind, that prevents his
expansion, that renders him the
~.mVe of fiction, appears to doom
to continual error.

have a chance at it.
April Carroll, housewife, P.O.
Box 434 - I guess so, primarily
because I think if someone is
going to take someone else's life,
he should have his taken, too. It
all depends on the situation.
Bonnie Wood, 219 Satsop,
dishwasher - Yes, I think so.
There are times that there are
some who've done a lot of killing
who should be put away for it.
Gary Schneider, insurance
salesman, Olympia - Yes. Look
at our crime rate. Look at how
much it's jumped since 1965 -
400 percent. And most of them
are repeaters. It's a deterrent.
Look at 1917 when a guy killed
someone and they had just
repealed the death penalty. You
know what the guy said? He said,
'Okay, lock me up and feed me
for the rest of my life.' That's
when the citizenry of Washington
decided to restore the death
penalty.
Jan e Hendrick, housewife,
Arcadia Rd. - I would say it
depends on the circumstances.
For instance, if they had
committed a crime several times.
Luciile Chapman, housewife,
Rt. 3, Box 693 - Yes, I do. When
we did away with it, I think our
country lost its backbone. What
keeps people from killing more

people ana more people?
Doyle Scott, retired, Hy-Lond
Inn - No, I don't think so. I
think there are other ways around
it ... rehabilitation programs. We
can get along without it.
Lorri Trimble, high school
student, Matlock -- No, 1 don't
because God put us here, and 1
don't think He wanted us to kill
each other off.
Heddy Godwin, housewife,
Rt. 1, Box 642 - Yes. I think
that there has to be some kind of
punishment for people who
commit extreme crimes. I ttfink
turning them loose on the public
is not the answer.
Hobert Hedrick, retired, 2nd
and Poplar - Yes, I sure do in
many cases. You take these
people who go out and shoot
somebody and make them get
down on their knees and shoot
them in the back of the head
They are no good to themselves
or anybody else and never will be.
They're more animals than
anything else. All they do is
pardon them and let them go and
then they go out and rape or kill
somebody else.
Patty Depoe, high school
student, 215 E. Harvard - I
believe in it. If they could take
someone else's life, they deserve
to have their life taken.
Two kinds of errors on tax
returns have delayed IRS service
centers in processing some
refunds, the Internal Revenue
Service said this week.
According to IRS District
Director Michael Sassi, one of the
errors involves incorrectly
computing tax due using the tax
tables. He said some taxpayers are
claiming personal exemptions of
$750 each or taking the standard
deduction of 15 percent of
adjusted gross income, and then
using the tax tables to figure their
tax. The result is incorrect
because the tax tables already
include allowances for
exemptions and the standard
deduction.
Sassi said the other error
concerns filing status. "Some
taxpayers are checking f'fling
status blocks on Forms 1040 or
1040A indicating that they are
both single and unmarried heads
of household," he noted. "Each
taxpayer should check only one
block, since filing status
determines which tax rate
schedule or column of the tax
tables will yield the proper tax."
Guidance for selecting correct
filing status appears in the
instructions for both Forms 1040
and 1040A.
The errors in these two areas
require contact with taxpayers
before the IRS can process their
returns, resulting in delayed
issuance of refund checks to those
entitled to them, the IRS official
pointed out.
History of persecution
The history of persecution is a
history of endeavors to cheat
nature, to make water run up hill,
to twist a rope of sand.
