In order to try to salvage
some of the loss in books, the
librarian commented, the school
is asking parents and students to
check their homes for books and
magazines which should be in the
library.
"We need the books,"
Peterson said, "to keep our
shelves up to date and meet
accrediting standards".
At $4 to $5 each to replace,
and with several hundred books
missing, the cost of replacement
comes to quite an amount, which,
if the books are returned, could
be used in some other area, or, for
improvements in the library.
Also, the librarian
commented, rather than throwing
away those old magazines we can
use them for research
materials-either in whole or in
part for the verticle file.

Fourteen firefighting rigs
from seven nearby communities
and the state were used to quickly
control a fire which threatened
Simpson Timber Company's
McCleary Plywood Plant~
Saturday.
The fire was confined to a
100-by-50 foot section of the
plant. An overheated air
compressor was believed to have
caused the blaze. Damage to the
building wa~ estimated at
515.000. A quantity of plywood
in the processing stage and several
pieces of equipment also were
damaged.
The fire was reported at 1:15
p.m. Saturday. immediately
bringing the McCleary Fire
Department to the scene. A call
to outlying communities brought
trucks from Ehna. McLain. North
Olympia. East Olympia. Summit
Lake. Tumwater and the
Washington State Department of
Natural Resources. The blaze was
brought under control by 2:15
p.m.
At the height of the
firefighting 14 rigs were involxcd.
Trucks speeding to McCleary
from the Olympia area were
escorted by the Washington State
Patrol. Simpson spokesmen said
the effectiveness of
intcrcon~mttnityfire fighting
organization wasoutstandingly
demonstrated by the outlying
fire, police and state units who
joined forces to combat the
McCleary plant fire.
Smoke and flames from the
blaze drew many motorists and
spectators to the mid-afternoon
fire on Memorial Day. Deputies
from the Grays Harbor Sheriff's
Department and Elma and
Oakville police officers assisted
McCleary Police Chief Bill
Franklin and the McCleary Police
Reserve in crowd and traffic
control.
Limited crews resumed work
at the plywood plant on the
Sunday night graveyard and
Monday morning shifts. Full
operations were resumed on
Tuesday morning.

A labor-saving device for mothers of babies has turned
into a big problem for the city sewage treatment plant crew.
Public Works Superintendent Bob Temple told the city
commission at its meeting Tuesday that the disposable plastic
lined diapers being put into the city sewer system get into the
pumps at the sewage treatment plant stopping them.
Temple said the only thing the treatment plant crew can
do is to stop the pumps and cut the offending plastic from
them to get them loose.
The plastic on the diapers will not dissolve and will not
shred, he commented.
Suggestions for doing awav with babies and asking local
merchants to remove the offending items from their shelves
appeared highly impractical.
The city settled for an appeal to mothers using the
disposable diapers to please not dispose of them by putting
them into the city sewer system.

The detailed findings of a
multiagency joint federal and
state task force on water and
related land resources will be
unveiled on June 5 at Olympia.
This hearing will be the final one
of three seeking public comment
on the Puget Sound and Adjacent
Water comprehensive study plan.
Director H. Maurice Ahlquist,
Department of Water Resources,
announced the Olympia hearing
will cover four river basins in the
Clallam, Mason, Kitsap, Pierce,
Thurston and Jefferson county
areas. These river basins are the
Elwha-Dungeness, Puyallup,
Nisqually-Deschutes, and West
Sound basins. The hearing will
begin at 7 p.m. at the old
Washington Junior High School,
Legion Way and Eastside Streets.
Alfred T. Neale, Task Force
chairman, will preside at the
hearings. He announced the study
team members will outline the
data collected during the six year
study. These topics will cover use
and control of the water resource
to meet future and public need.
The use of water will include
consumptive uses for municipal,

spokesman said.
industrial and rural water supplies
and for irrigation. The
non-consumptive uses to be
outlined include for hydroelectric
power, recreation, navigation and
support of fish and wildlife.
The control of water to be
discussed includes prevention of
floods, maintenance and
improvement of water quality,
drainage and land stabilization.
The study team will also cover
recreational areas, wild river
concepts, greenbelts and other
land uses.
Ahlquist said the study
attempts to answer questions
regarding how much water is
needed and the sources of supply.
The study also identifies future
navigational needs,
water-transport oriented
industries and pleasure boat
moorages.
The public is asked to present
testimony at the public hearings.
The information gathered at the
hearing will be considered prior to
the final adoption of the study by
the Task Force. The report will be
reviewed and then submitted in
its final form to the Federal Water
Resources Council and then to
Congress and the state legislature.
The finalized study will be
adopted as a guide in the
conservation and use of the water
resources.
The West Sound Basins
section of the study states that
small boat moorage facilities,
water-oriented recreational sites
and enhancement of the fisheries
and wild life are other major
problems.
Control of water pollution
and expansion of municipal water
supplies arc listed as the major
needs facing the area.
The ~aeed for a regional water
supply system some time after
1980 is indicated in the study,
with the Duckabush River the
best source of such supply.
Problems occuring in Shelton
and other cities in the area
included water quality problems
from discharges from industries,
municipalities, pleasure crafts, log
rafts and scattered seasonal homes.
Plans should be made for six
public small boat harbors with
more than 4,300 wet moorages,
the study recommends.
A watershed management
project on Goldsborough Creek
for improvement work covering
about five miles of improved and
stabalized channel is listed in the
study.
Expansion of 100 recreational
sites is recommended.
Fish passage facilities on the
Hamma Hamma River and
Kennedy Creek are
recommended.
The area considered in the
West Sound Basins study includes
the Kitsap Peninsula, south Puget
Sound and part of the Olympic
Peninsula.
