SIMPSON REPORTS
1975 PAYROLL
OVER 30 MILLION
Simpson Timber Company's
payroll in the Shelton
Cooperative Sustained Yield Unit
exceeded $30 million for the first
time last year, reaching
$ 32,941,240.
The record payroll level is one
of the highlights of "People, Land
and Trees - 1974," Simpson's
annual progress report on
operations in the unit.
The report focuses on the
28th year of the unique, 100-year
contract between Simpson and
the U.S. Forest Service over lands
in the lower Olympic Peninsula.
The agreement assures continuous
tree crops and helps maintain
economic stability in the locality.
The contract went into effect
January 1, 1947.
The report, which covers
activities both in the company
and the communities, notes these
events over the past year: A $5.5
million high school campus on 44
acres was opened in Shelton; a
new plywood lay-up facility was
opened by the company in
Shdton, replacing the 32-year-old
Olympic Plywood plant; the
company's Insulating Board Plant
at Sheiton was closed for related
economic and environmental
reasons after operating 27 years;
the total area reforested since
1947 in the area by Simpson and
the Forest Service rose above
70,000 acres; Simpson
employment in the unit averaged
2,2 13 persons, down slightly
because of depressed markets in
the last half of the year.
The report is sent to Forest
Service and other government
officials, to community leaders
and Simpson employees. Copies
are available from the company's
public affairs office in Shelton.
Simpson, founded in 1890 in
Shelton, employs about 5,000
persons in woods and
manufacturing operations in
Washington, Oregon and
California, and in Saskatchewan
and Alberta, Canada.
VACATION HOME
OPEN HOUSE
An article in the June issue of
"Mechanix Illustrated" magazine
titled, "Homes for Under
$5,000!" features a vacation
home designed and constructed
by Lumbermen's Homes, Shelton,
in cooperation with the
Tacoma-based American Plywood
Association.
The model vacation home
featured in "Mechanix
Illustrated" will be open to the
public from 1-5 p.m., June 7 and
8, at Lake Limerick.
The surprisingly spacious, 960
square foot, two-bedroom
"Skokomish" was designed to
bring the cost of a quality
vacation home within reach of the
average family through a judicious
mixture of efficient, economical
construction systems and
dependable, easily worked
building materials.
Unfortunately, the price
quoted in the "Mechanix
Illustrated" article is incorrect.
However, an ambitious handyman
can build an unfinished
"Skokomish" for a materials cost
of under $5,000.
The house includes features
s uc h a s g reeved rough sawn
Texture 1-11 plywood used as
both exterior siding and ceiling,
rustic exposed rafters, rough sawn
APA grade-trademarked plywood
interior paneling, and a second
story loft room that overlooks the
living/dining area and out the
window-studded front wall.
Several books on topics of
current interest have been
~d at the Shelton Phbltc
Library recently. Theodore H.
White, author of four "Making of
the President" chronicles, has
produced his anticipated
Unmaking of the President book,
entitled "Breach of Faith: the
Fall of Richard Nixon." With his
usual fairness, White' sketches the
background of Nixon's political
career - the early years of
grinding poverty, the vicious
California congressional
campaigns, the Vice-Presidential
years, the defeats of 1960 and
1962 and the triumphs of 1968
and 1972 -- then turns to the
Watergate conspiracy and
cover.up, giving a
minutely-detailed account of the
desperate final months of the man
who "had not really learned the
way America works."
In "A Time to Die," Tom
Wicker, Associate Editor of The
New York Times, tells of his
involvement as an "observer" in
the Attica prison riot of 1971
which ended in the - to Wicker -
preventable deaths of 43 inmates
and hostages. Wicker talked to
rebelling inmates, to prison
officials and to Go~ernor Nelson
Rockefeller, whom he tried to
persuade to meet with the leaders
of the uprising. Wicker sees the
Attica affair as a confrontation
between the rich and powerful -
"power itself, as well as the agents
of power" -- and the poor and
powerless, most of them blacks
and Puerto Ricans, who cherished
to the end the illusion that the
state would negotiate rather than
shoot.
The controversial supertanker
is the subject of Noel Mostert's
"Supership," which follows the
progress of the S.S. Ardshi¢l,
1,063 feet in length, with a
capacity for 206,000 tons of crude
oil, from Bordeaux by way of the
Cape of Good Hope to the Persian
Gulf and back. Mostert, who
sailed with the crew, gives a vivid
account of the voyage.
House posses
Conner bill
A bill, introduced by 24th
District State Representative Paul
Conner, to exempt non-profit
camps whose funds are used for
youth activities from the timber
excise tax passed the State House
of Representatives Tuesday.
Conner said the exemption
would apply to the 4-H camp at
Panhandle Lake.
The bill now goes to the
Senate.

meeting
By C~IEN YATES
This week's meeting of the
Harstine Women's Club marks the
last meeting of the season.
Following today's meeting the
club will recess until September.
Lunch is, as always, a brown bag.
The hostesses will furnish coffee
and a treat.
On the "lust" Memorial Day
weekend a fishing derby was held
at Hartstene Pointe for residents
and property owners. The event
took place over a two-day period.
Altogether 58 fishermen
participated in the derby, a
first-time event for the Pointe.
Leonard Deuel of Pickering
volunteered to head the event and
do the necessary organizing and
planning.
Right up until a few short
minutes before the end of the
contest two men, Lauren Cook
and Art Hun, were tied for first
place each with a salmon weighing
5 pounds 8 ounches. Then with
just minutes to go Deuel's
son-in-law, AI Skinner, checked in
with one weighing 5 pounds 11
ounces, which won the contest.
Bert Leg took fourth place and
John Erickson came in fifth.
That same weekend some
Pointe residents rescued a fawn
(one of a set of twins) which
some domestic dogs belonging to
Pointe property owners had
chased. The two dogs managed to
separate the tiny, helpless animal
from its mother and twin. A
concerned resident reprimanded
the owners of the dogs and, with
the help of another neighbor,
managed to "shoo" the fawn back
into the woods where it was
quickly claimed by its mother
who had the other fawn with her.
May 23 Shirl Larson was the
hostess at a bridal shower held in
honor of Chris Jndd, who is to be
married in the Mormon Temple in
Salt Lake City later this month.
Chris is the younger daughter of
Terry and Colleen Judd of
Hartstene Pointe. About 35
attended the luncheon and
shower for Chris, including island
friends and a few girl friends of
Chris' and the bishop's wife from
Shelton.
Alia on the same Saturday
the Harstine Community Hall was
the scene of a wedding uniting
Rick Glaser (grandson of Celia
G laser of Ballow) and Debby
BrRon of Port Angeles. The hall
was decorated in white, yellow
and pastel green.
The bride wore a long
off-white dress with a
peasant-style bodice and carried a
bouquet of white daisies, yellow
rosebuds, baby's breath and fern.
Her sister served as maid of honor
with a close girl friend and Rick's
sister, Sandy, as bridesmaids.
Rick's brother, Joe, was the best
man. Pastor Foster of the Church
of God from Lacey performed the
ceremony ... after a slight delay.
It seems that Rick thought
Joe had the marriage license and
Joe thought Rick did. At any rate
the bridegroom.to-be had to make
a very hasty trip back to Shelton
before the show could go on.
The wedding cake was a
three-tiered chocolate cake,
decorated with chocolate frosting
and yellow daisies and was a
wedding present from one of the
guests. It also happened to be the
first wedding cake she had
attempted.
Harstine's own Linc Miner
was one of the tennis team from
Shelton who participated in the
state tournament held in Yakima
May 23 and 24. The other three
boys were Dave Hanson (Line's
partner) Was Stockwell and Dale
Campagna. Under the coaching of
AI Hopp the Shelton team came
home with fifth place.
Bob and Elaine Ireland and
family headed for Everett last
Friday to attend the graduation
of Bob's oldest son, Rob, from
the high school there. They
returned home the following day.
Their nephew, Jim, took over
feeding and watering chores of
the animals while the Ireland
family was away.
Die without
But thousands die without
or this or that,
Die, and endow a college or a cat.
