been observed apparently in quest
of some secluded spot in which to

a sort.

plaque recently installed in the city's Brewer Park at the corner
of Fifth and Franklin Streets. The Park is named for the late
E. E. "Bob" Brewer, city water superintendent for 27 years until

Mr. Brewer's death, the park was officially named for him by

Mat/oct Woman Has 27 Years
As MMK &how Bus Driver
Mary :M. Knight schom makes
the boast that bus driver. Mrs.
Dora Hearing, has served more
years as a school bus driver than
any other \\;vomml in the United
States and challenges anyone to
equal her record of 27 years in
that capacity, which includes 22
year of continuous service.
Mrs. Hearing first began driv-
ing a school bus in 1924, the year
the present Mary IV[. Knight school
was built and continued until 1929
when she and her husband moved
to Snoqualmie. They returned to
this eomnmnity in 1935 and en-
gaged in ranching. She again was
employed as a bus driver in 1941
and continued until the present
time, a total of 22 years uninter-
rupked service. Testifying as to
her skill as a driver. Mrs. Hear-
Heekmans say- as do many
others. "there's no place like
home", but the present time finds
both of them very hard at work
getting house and yard, lawn in
order again.
ing has never had an accident and
no delays other than those oc-
casioned by minor mechanical fail*
ure or adverse road conditions.
The first bus driven by Mrs.
Hearing was a one-ton Chevrolet
with wood sides and top and the
seats were two benches along the
sides. That vehicle could not be-
gin to compare in comfort with
the present commodious buses
which have cushioned seats, air
conditioning and many safety de-
vices.
Mrs. Hearing has transported
two generations of Mary M.
Knight students, among them Bob
Trenckmann. prominent rancher,
from the thne he was in the first
grade and later his daughter Beu-
lah during her twelve years of
elementary and high school.

Chamber Hears
Oisrussion O[
Marine Researrh
A good crowd turned out for
the Shelton Chamber of Com-
merce meethlg Thursday to hear
a discussion of the work at the
Rayonier Marine Research facil-
ity on Hood canal.
Dr. Jerome Stein, head of the
research work. and John Denison
spoke about and showed slides on
tests they made at Port Angeles
after an order by the State Poilu-
tion Commission that additional
facilities to prevent pollution
would be necessary.
They said that their tests
showed that the marine life ap-
peared to be unharmed, although
tests at locations near the pulp
mill indicated a lack of oxygen
in the water.
Investigation of the tests used
in determining oxygen showed
that another chemical was throw-
ing the tests off and when an ac-
curate test was made, it showed
a sufficient supply of oxygen.
