"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.

Jim Connolly e e 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. aren 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.

So O0elsewhere Tel3 Cents Per Copy @ 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, Dry Weather Closes Woods Simpson Timber Co. logging operations at Camp Govey and Camp Grisdale were dosed down Monday because of the low humidity. Operations will resume when the weather permits, a company 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.
