PAGE6 SHELTON---MASON COUNTY JOURNA75 Publistte in 'Cihr stmastown U.S.A.", Shelton, Washington i~;:~ ~j///. Labor ¢euncil Saturday Winds Up Our Subscription Campaign ALL LINED UP--Youngsters in the 1-3 age group at the M~ose Lodge Easter Egg hunt at Mr. View School Sundax stand ready to start hunting eggs when the signal is given. As they wait, they get moral support, and perhaps a gentle nudge, from parents or older brothers and ,sisters. A good crowd turned out for the annual event, which was lucky enough to get the hunt in between showers Sun- day. Youngsters were awarded dimes for colored prize eggs and all participants got an ice cream bar. Boy Scouts from Troop 110, of which Ken O'Dell is scoutmaster, assisted by patroling the hunting grounds before the hunt to prevent"poach- ing". The egg hunt is sponsored by the Moose Lodge, with financial support from donations from merchants. signed by Darrell Sparks, presi- dent of the Mason County Labor Council. If the war against poverty is to be waged effectiwly, the time has come to "overhaul" the "out- dated" Fair Labor Standard Act the AFL-CIO Executive council has declared. The revision should, the coun- cil said: * Extend coverage to all work- ers whose jobs .affect commerce. * Raise the minimum wage to $2 an hour. * Reduce the standard Work week to 35 hours. * Raise the premium rate for overtime hours to double time. The AFL-CIO views all of these changes to the act as "essential," the council declared, adding: "We (Continued on page 7) SU BS { it I PT I 0 H SHELTON-MASON COUNTY JOURNAL, INC., Publishers ......

From, time to time in the past street vacatio s gra cd by th, e city have rct,,'.r ed like the prover- bial bad penny to harrass and embarrass city offi. cials and cause inconvenience and hardship to prop- e .ty owfiers in the neighborhood who did not at the time critically consider possible consequences as they might af/ect their properties. Mayor Frank Travis and his fellow commissioners, El- roy Nelson and Dave Kneeland, properly have adopted a cautious approach to requests for street vacations and are taking a.long, hard look at each one. We heartily endorse their.critical attitude on this important matter, but they need and. deserve the assistance of those who are more vi- tally C0ficerned than thaw. Indi ciduals owning property in areas adjacent to streets for which petitions of vacation are submitted to the city {and the county, too, for that matter) should pay strict attention to.these requests, assessing seffishly what affect these street vacations could have on the access to their prop- erties not only now but in the future. If.t ey,feel such street vacations could adversely affect their .p opevties they should attend the public hearings on the vacations and make their feelings known, not coming fumingl,to.'City officials months or years later after the dam- age has been irretrievably done. It is difficult for city officials to refuse a street vq,cation requ, est when no one appears to show it co,rid be. harmful. FISHERMEN -- BE In ,Mason County this Sunday hundreds of fishermen will be On the highways on their way to favorite angling haunts. Thi, ,can only mean increased traffic for that day and others to come during the remainder of the fishing , eason. It is the responsibility of all fishermen driving cars"to be especially alert and courteous on the roads and once at their destinations to exercise all possible rules oI water safety and sportsmanship. When you are driving don't be thinking about fishing. There is nothing more important when you are behind the wheel than giving your entire attention to your driving. Get plenty of rest before your early arising on Sunday morning, leave the alcoholic spirits behind or at least sealed until after the trip is finished. Drive according to all laws and you'll enjoy your fishing trip. And may you catch your limit? : WHEN IS A PARKING LOT NOT Postmaster ,lack Gray is getting a tiny bit hot under the collar about the misuse of the parking area around the temporary postoffice. Yesterday there wasn't a soul inside the P.O. except the employes yet every parking space was full. "Every employe would have to have four cars to fill all those spaces," the" P.M. remarked. He asks for cooperation from downtown visitors driv- ing their cars. "Please don't park in the postoffice lot un- less you are coming into the postoffice." He was real nice about it--though we know he was siz- zling at the thoughtlessness of a lot of people.
