Hillcrest Phone 426-4522 assistance of a mechanical engineer to keep the "bugs" out of her design, Keith built the "Scaler" as a "back yard project," in a year and a half, from surplus parts and a lot of "blood, sweat and tea rs." $ driver which he built himself. Keith's head over- shadows a portion of the huge hammer which drives the piling. By BILL BRAM:MER Among the many jobs tow-boat pilots are called upon to tackle is the moving of pile drivers from one location to another, Keith Hurst had towed these ~umher- .,'.ome rigs for a number of years, and each time he got one on the ~nd of his tow cable he became more thoroughly convinced that they could be designed to travel under their own power. Before becoming a tow-boat pi- lot, Keith had learned to design boats. The more he thought of designing and bnilding th~ unique craft, the stronger the desire to get started became. It would be expensive--but he could use sur- plus parts. There would be long, hard hours ahead--but in the end a dream would be realized. Final- ly in November of ,,:1962, throwing caution to the winds, he decided to begin a preliminary design on what was to be an inovation in pile drivers. ]~LKOEPT FOR an occasional conference with a mechanical en- g{neer who helped keep the "bugs" Atlorney, Juslice ,Clash in Court The attorney for two men ap- pealing a justice court conviction and Judge Harry Stillwell of the i Belfair Justice Court exchanged :sharp words in Mason County Su- perior Court Friday when Stillwell appeared in a show cause order in the case. Fredrick Frohmader, Tacoma, who is representing Ronald Gun- derson and Roger Phillips in their appeal of a conviction of digging~ clams in a preserve, had obtained the order to ask Stillwell why he had not provided him with a trans- cript of the justice court trial. Gunderson and Phillips had each been fined $250 and senten- ced to 60 days in jail after being found guilty by Stillwell earlier this month. PROSECUTING Attorney Byron McClanahan, sitting as court com- missioner in the absence of a judge set the matter over two weeks, stating he hoped it could be clear- ed up in that time. Frohmader asked that the case be dismised on the grounds that there was a lack of due process of law in the justice court conviction. Stillwell stated on the witness stand that he did not know why he was in court and also objected to the manner in which the show cause order was served on him at his home stating that the incident had so upset his wife that she had required medical attention. out of the design, Keith did most of the fabrication and assembly work himself. His workshop was the yard of his home on Arcadia Road, which borders on Hammers- Icy Inlet. The ensuing year and a half was a nightmare of rounding up materials and surplus parts, weld- ing sections together, turning nuts on bolts, ~rimming and fitting, ~and coordinating components. Finally tbe last bit of work was completed. All of the "blood, sweat and tears" invested in the project had paid off. The "Scoter" as she was christened, tugged gently at anchor as she wallowed in the waters of the inlet, and Keith's dream of a self-propelled pile dri- ver had become a reality. The "Scaler" has many advan- tages over the large conventional- type pile drivers. The main ad- vantage, of course, is that being self-propelled, there is no moving- in charge. In other words, the cus- tomer does not have to pay a tug to move the rig into the work area. Being smaller in size does not limit the "Scorer's" work capacity. Like the sea duck for which she was named, she is capable of get- ting into areas along the beach that would be inaccessible to the larger commercial rigs. This makes her ideal for handling jobs such as putting in docks and moor- age facilities. On the other hand .~he is capable of handling piling that is essentially the same size as that handled by the large com- mercial rigs. Neither does the "Scaler's" stze restrict her to the waters of the inlet. She is fully equipped to nav- igate the waters of both Hood Canal and Puget Sound. For the mechanically-minded, here are the "Scoter's" dimensions and a run-down on her equipment. She is 48 feet long, 16 feet wide and weighs 35 tons. Her hull and tower are of all- steel, welded construction. A 140 h.p. GM Diesel is her main power source. This engine, turn- ing a single 30-inch propeller, drives her alon~" at 7 knots (ap- proximately 8 m.p.h.), which is an l ideal speed for displacement-type !boats such as she is. Auxiliary power is furnished by [four gasoline engines. These en- gines drive five hoisting drums, which play out and retrieve the hoisting cables. They also power a jet pump which is used to direct a stream of water, at pressures up to 200 lbs. per square inch, through a single nozzle, down alongside the piles when setting them in hard ground. e To 'Be Married GRAPEVIEW - "Wedding bells will ring next week for two young people from am" cofimmnity. Bruce Michael Fulmer and Miss Susan Dian Gatlin will be married Tiles- day afternoon, June 23, in a pri- va{e church ceremony. Bruce is tile son of Mrs. Peggy Fulmer, for- merly of Grapeview, and Susan, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hen- rv Gatlin of Grapeview. Mr. and Mrs. Gal]in wish to extend an in- vitation to all of their friends to attend a wedding reception for the couple which will be held at the Grapeview school following the church service. Time: 4 p.m. to 8 p.m Our roving news-column cohorts, Wall and Sally Clayton and their youngsters, arrived in Downing- town. Pa. early last Friday even- ink after five days of driving, and just in time for Salli to attend a: bridal shower for her sister Mary Jane Pawling. Visits with family (especially Salli's mother, Mrs, Helen Pawling) and old school friends, also a few side trips to historical points of interest have kept the Grapeview travelers well occupied since their arrival. You might say -~- "It never fails"! We i did. W~ile era'cute through Neb- raska, the Claytml family just happened to stay at the same motel chosen by Shelton P. E. teacher, Miss Ruth Koenig and her I ravelling" companion, Shelton high school miss, Sherry Jeffery. Miss Koenig, some of you recall, was the delightful singer of folk songs who entertained us at the recent Firemen's Auxiliary installation. MEANWItILE, "back at the ranch", Mr, and Mrs. Walt Clay- ton, Sr. are flndine" things mighty quiet with only "Vt~¢e" and "Ty" left sent door. They enjoyed a dinner last Saturday evening with neighbors Mr..and Mrs. Don John- son who were here for the weetc- end with daughter Dabble, Son Mike was away on a Sea Scout cruise. Mr. and Mrs. Clayton were dismayed to learn the next day that Mr. Johnson had injured his eye while building steps 1o his beach; an injury serious enough to necessitate a mmh trip baclc to town to the doctor. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Lande spent Sunday at their summer home here, checking things over and doing a little brush clearing• Another hearing on a possible transfer of Section No. 29 of Fire Protection District No. 3 to Fire Protection District No. 5 was held Monday at the Mason County Court House. Once again, repre- sentatives from our district at- i tendin~ were Orin Buckingham, Bill Somers and Julie Stock. The county commissioners decided to postpone action on this until tile state's Attorney General makes ~. decision as to whether or not District No. 3 will be allowed to collect millage on Section No. 29 if it is transferred to District No. 5. Ed Garner of Olympia, who is exe- cutive secretary for the state fire commissioners, attended the bear- ing. Life was just about back to nor- mal for the Orin Buckinghams Monday after a wonderful week of vacation spent travelling and visit- ing. Clear Lake and Tillamook, Ore. were stopping points as was Gardner, Ore. where they enjoyed a ~leasant visit with former Grape- view friends, Cliff and Vi Barrett. They found the Barrett family "just fine" including their sons Bill and Bob who are both working and living at home. Their daughter' Evelyn lives in Montana. An inter- esting sidelight of their trip was a stop in Cornelius, Ore. for a tour through the Western States Fire Apparatus Company where our new fire truck is being built. Back home again on Thursday just long enough to get rearranged, Ortn and Ethel took off for a homecom- ing visit to Pe Ell where they had a fine time 'renewing acquaintan- ces with old school chums. With "Mac" off for a weekend at Nanaimo with a group of bro- ther Masons, Mrs. Merrill McKin- stry drove out from Seattle Satur- JUNE IS HOME FURNISHING ONTH AT BABY SEAT Regularly $3.911 Durable smooth white poly-pr~py- lena plastic seat.

Really taking the long way around they stopped to shop at Lakeview, drove through Scandia, Shoreline and Gig Harbor, even pausing long enough for a cannery totlr before arriving in Grapeview. After forti- fying themselves with one of 2Vh's. McKinstry's very ample break- tasts, they toured points of inter- est here at Grapeview as this was a first visit ill tl~e area for the guests. HAPP~ TO BE back in the Northwest again after a winter of teaching school near Los Angeles, Calif., are Stretch Island summer residents, Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Bell. The Bells arrived in Grape- view Monday and must have felt at home almost immediately with the familiar sound of rain on the roof welcoming them the very first night. As I recall, it was rain- ing that day last August when the Bells departed. Sorry to hear that little Jerri Joe Anderson and her sister are confined temporarily with the measles. Their daddy, Don Ander- son, seems to be making wonder- ful progress on a handsome new sunbathing deck for their Trea- sure Island beach.
