Insulators Shot
Down Monday
On Power Line
The power supply to the
Simpson fish hatchery and
several homes west of Mat-
lock was cut off for about
five hours Monday morning
when insulatorS and the sec-
tion lining switch on a power
line were shot away by an
unknown person or persons.
P.U.D. THREE got the call
around 10 a.m. and sent a crew to
make repairs. They returned to
town about 4:30 p.m. The top of
the power pole was burned away
as a result of being hit bY a hot
line which fell when the insulat-
ors were shot down•
Local power officials are very
much concerned over tnm macter
because it presents a grave danger
to the lives of persons or animals
:who can easily come into contact
with the hot lines after they drop
close to the ground, The insu-
lators control the line which keeps
the power line tn proper position.
"People who shoot insulators off
power lines do t realize" the
danger which they can cause,":
said Claude Danielson, manager
of the P.U.D.
"THIS IS a serious problem for
power companies everywhere. It
isn't just a question of the troub-
le it causes' the companies in re-
pairing the lines that is import-
ant but these lilies contain 7200
volts which is enougi to kill any-
body," Danielson added.
Jerry Samples, superintendent
of the P.U.D., said that empty
shells had been found around the
srea and that this type of activity
has been a source of trouble for
the P.U.D. in the p(st.

ging operations was issued Wed-
nesday from the Shelton Depart-
ment of Natural Resources. The

ations in timbered areas. District

ported that forest wardens are

FIRE PERMITS are required

vate lands under the jurisdiction
of the Department of Natural Re-
sources outside the National For-
est boundary, he stated.
Timber cutting permits are also
required on all green cutting and

Spark emitting equipment be-
ing used in wooded areas on sal-
vage operations in dead and down-
ed timber are also requiring spe-
cial operating permits, Wright

Mayor Earl Moore said Tuesday night that the city
plans to enforce all ordinances, particularly those referring
to building, and added that the new wooden front of Dean's
Studio and the Shelton Title company will have to be torn
down because they are in violation of the city fire code.
MOORE TOLD a small group at ..........................................

have gotten away with violating
many of the city ordinances in the
past and do not bother to check

Summer Swim
Fund Gets Off
$1500 goal in public contributions.
A total of $145 in three dons-
Lions is now of record in the cam-
paign to save this community's
swimming classes, peewee brass-
ball, and other summer vacation
children's recreational activities,
which face the prospect of drastic
curtaihnent at the very least, and
perhaps complete abandonment be-
cause of the lack of municipal fin-
ancial support they formerly r-
celved.
First contribution to the fund
was a $20 bill given by an anoni-
mous donor the day the campaign
was announced in last week's
Journal,
THIS WAS followed by a $100
check from the Shelton Almnrli
Association and The Journal toss-
ed in a $25 check as the third
contribution made to date.
Anyone wishing to contribute to
the fund may do so by sending
checks or cash to the H.ecreation
Fund, c/o city hall, Shelton. They
will be recognized in the, so
columns each week.
Need for a public rescue cam-
paign to raise the funds for the
recreation p r o gr a m developed
when the city was unable to con-
timm the $3400 it has annually
contributed to the cost. Reductions
in mlmicipal income forced a dras-
tic curtailment of the recreation
support but the program has been
so successful and worthwhile that,
community leaders are endeavor-
ing to see that it continues on as
near the established level as pos-
sible. They believe that the public
will contribute the necessary funds
Lo see that this is done.
THE RECREATION Conlmittee, ',
headed by Gus Hubbard, believes
$3,000 will do the job. ()f this sunt

Insulators Shot
Down Monday
On Power Line
The power supply to the
Simpson fish hatchery and
several homes west of Mat-
lock was cut off for about
five hours Monday morning
when insulatorS and the sec-
tion lining switch on a power
line were shot away by an
unknown person or persons.
P.U.D. THREE got the call
around 10 a.m. and sent a crew to
make repairs. They returned to
town about 4:30 p.m. The top of
the power pole was burned away
as a result of being hit bY a hot
line which fell when the insulat-
ors were shot down•
Local power officials are very
much concerned over tnm macter
because it presents a grave danger
to the lives of persons or animals
:who can easily come into contact
with the hot lines after they drop
close to the ground, The insu-
lators control the line which keeps
the power line tn proper position.
"People who shoot insulators off
power lines do t realize" the
danger which they can cause,":
said Claude Danielson, manager
of the P.U.D.
"THIS IS a serious problem for
power companies everywhere. It
isn't just a question of the troub-
le it causes' the companies in re-
pairing the lines that is import-
ant but these lilies contain 7200
volts which is enougi to kill any-
body," Danielson added.
Jerry Samples, superintendent
of the P.U.D., said that empty
shells had been found around the
srea and that this type of activity
has been a source of trouble for
the P.U.D. in the p(st.

Summer Swim
Fund Gets Off
$1500 goal in public contributions.
A total of $145 in three dons-
Lions is now of record in the cam-
paign to save this community's
swimming classes, peewee brass-
ball, and other summer vacation
children's recreational activities,
which face the prospect of drastic
curtaihnent at the very least, and
perhaps complete abandonment be-
cause of the lack of municipal fin-
ancial support they formerly r-
celved.
First contribution to the fund
was a $20 bill given by an anoni-
mous donor the day the campaign
was announced in last week's
Journal,
THIS WAS followed by a $100
check from the Shelton Almnrli
Association and The Journal toss-
ed in a $25 check as the third
contribution made to date.
Anyone wishing to contribute to
the fund may do so by sending
checks or cash to the H.ecreation
Fund, c/o city hall, Shelton. They
will be recognized in the, so
columns each week.
Need for a public rescue cam-
paign to raise the funds for the
recreation p r o gr a m developed
when the city was unable to con-
timm the $3400 it has annually
contributed to the cost. Reductions
in mlmicipal income forced a dras-
tic curtailment of the recreation
support but the program has been
so successful and worthwhile that,
community leaders are endeavor-
ing to see that it continues on as
near the established level as pos-
sible. They believe that the public
will contribute the necessary funds
Lo see that this is done.
