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 rmer el on man nore IS wor as ac Once a Shelton High School Association of Geology Teachers. drop-out in 1941, MfltonClothier Now head Of the Sehome has been named the best earth High School science department, science teacher in the Pacific Clothier was selected as the top Northwest section of the National Washington State candidate to be MR. AND MRS. M. A. CLOTHIER JR. relax in their home. The former Shelton man was recently honored for his teaching work. er 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.

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 PATTY DEPOE "They deserve it." 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.
