Boys & Girls Club makes plans
to expand activities to Shelton
The Boys & Girls Club of Ma-
son County, which has been open
in Belfair for the past year, is
planning to expand and eventual-

A meeting about starting a
Boys & Girls Club in the Shelton
area will be held at 5:30 p.m.
Wednesday, May 26, at the Cross
Roads Youth Center, Second and
Cota streets in Shelton. All those
interested in becoming members
of a core group for the organiza-
tion in Shelton are invited.
"What they're doing up there
(in Belfair) is excellent and we
want it down here, that's for
sure," said Denny Temple, a Shel-
ton recreation booster and mem-
ber of the Boys & Girls Club of
Mason County's Board of Gover-
nors.
Some 100 youngsters come dai-
ly to the club in Belfair, said Dave
Ison, executive director of the
Boys & Girls Club of Mason
County. He said parents con-
stantly tell him and others at the
club how important it is to have a
place for their kids to go that's
protected and positive.
SUMMER FUN, a 10-week
recreation program for kids in the
Shelton area sponsored by the
Boys & Girls Club of Mason
County starts Monday, June 21,
and will run through Friday, Au-
gust 27.
The program, set to run from 9
a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through
Fridays, will be held at the brown
Shelton Gymnasium and Ever-
green Elementary School. It's de-
signed for kids aged 6 to 18. As it
did last year, the Community Ac-
tion Council will provide free
lunches each day to program par-
ticipants.
An information meeting for
parents about the Summer Fun
program will be held at 7 p.m.
Tuesday, June 1, at Evergreen
Elementary School. Last year, an
initial six-week Summer Fun pro-
gram drew a growing number of
youngsters.

S!ide movement stops
highway work at Eldon
Work to clear Highway 101,
closed near Eldon in mid-March
because of a large mudslide, was
halted Monday due to new move-
ment of the slide, reported the
Washington State Department of
Transportation.
'Geologists are advising that for
worker safety, all crews working
to clear mud and debris off the
highway be moved out of the slide
area until additional data about
the slide has been collected and
analyzed. That will take a day or
two, DOT spokeswoman Ann
Briggs told The Journal on Tues-
day.

Jobless rate dips
to a 33-year low
The unemployment rate in Ma-
son County dropped more than
one percent in April, according to
statistics released by the Wash-
ington State Department of Em-
ployment Security.
Mason County's jobless rate
was 5.4 percent in April, down
from the March rate of 6.5 per-
cent. Last month, the. local labor
force totaled 20,670, with 1,120
unemph)yed.
The drop in unemployment
hereabouts mirrored what was
happening statewide, where the
unemployment rate of 4.4 percent
in April dropped from 5 percent a
month previously and was the
lowest April reading in 33 years.
"Greater than usual seasonal
hiring in both construction and
services added to what was al-
ready a generally strong state
economy," said Employment Se-
curity Commissioner Carver Gay-
ton.

and see what our geologists say,"
Briggs said when asked if there
was any estimate for when the
highway would be open to traffic
again.
A helicopter was used to lift a
geologist crew onto the hillside to
begin taking core samples from
50 to 75 feet above the highway.
The drill crew finished taking
core samples of the slide on Tues-
day, Briggs said. The core sam-
ples will help geologists better
understand the makeup of the
slide and aid them in determining
if and when it is safe to resume
excavation work.
A 90-ton crane has been oper-
ating since May 4 to remove de-
bris from the toe of the slide.
Crews noted movement on the
hillside late last week and as a re-
sult, survey points were placed on
the hillside on Saturday, May 15.
Movement has since been record-
ed at all survey points.
