t 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. i -I 1-- Dick Angle • Property • Casualty • Commercial • Auto • Mortgage • Life • Homeowners Antllo luildinll 4th & IIoilroad Ph. 426-8272 I I I I I I Page 12 - Shelton.Mason County Journal - Thursday, June 5, 1975 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.
