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.

If the war against poverty is
to be waged effectiwly, the time
has come to "overhaul" the "out-

The revision should, the coun-

GRITJGAL APPROAOH DESIRABLE
Requests for street vacations have become increasingly
frequent of late as Shelton's growth tempo quickens and are
becoming :a matter: of considerable abncern to city officials.
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.

ers of America, Harper Lieper, congratulates local Photographer,
