JUDGE CHARLES T. Wright
and Mrs. Wright were among
those boating on Hood Canal who
took refuge on the beach when
high, salty waves thrcatened to
swamp their light craft.
"The water from the bow of
our boat swept rght over us,"
Mrs. Wright exclaimed. "I never
saw such huge waves on the Can-
al before."
When the water had shorted the
wiring ih the engine of Judge
Wright's boat, they beached it on
the east side of the Canal oppo-
site Hoodsport. Mrs. Wright said
that she counted 16 other boats
that landed near them.
THE PEOPLE started fire's and
spent the day drinking coffee and l
moving around to keep warm. The
larger boat, Begonia, from Smith's
Marine in Union, came and picked
up the stranded persons about
four o'clock Sunday afternoon.
"Some of the groups pooled
their provisions, and all came
through in good shape," Mrs.
Wright commented. "But we didn't
catch any fish."
Jim Shrum of Shelton was fish-
ing at Cushman lake when the
wind drove the boats to shore
about noon. "Some of the boats
got swamped as they raced for
the shore, and many persons got
wet," Jim said.
Physicists say that the water
is rough onlY on the surface.

the establishment of a herd dis-

A herd district would prohibit
ranchers from turning their stock
loose to graze at will on the

Regional Forester Andrews
pointed out that there has been
a marked decrease in the nmnber
of forest fires caused by camp-
fires escaping. During the past
five years, the number dropped
from 123 to 49. During the same
period, the use of the five nation-
al forests in this region by camp-
ers increased from 597,380 to 739:

Heavy recreatlonel use has
caused additional problems in giv-

women. Because all evidence had
not been presented by 11 p.m., Bill
Goodpaster, county school super-
intendent, presiding" officer, re-
cessed the session until this com-
ing Saturday.
A SPLIT regarding the intent of
the hearing was discerned soon
after the session opened, One fac-
tion insisted on probing strictly
into the legality of the letter of
dismissal sent Kreidler, while gen-
eral feeling was to hear the com-
ment of the citizenry involved.
The issue was raised by Kreid-
let who complained in a petition
to the county, superintendent on
May 2 that the Belfatr school
board had given insufficient cause
for dismissing him April 14. He
asked that he be rehired as prin-
cipal for 1949-50.
During-the hearing Dudley N.
Perrine, attorney from, Port O-
chard who represented Kreier,
inslsted"l .his ease rested on
the legality of the dismissal letter
sent Kreidler by the Belfair school
board.
"STATE STATUTE says that
notice of dismissal must give rea-
sons for the dismissal. The letter
of April 14 to Kreidler did not
give sufficient reason," Perrine
sail, adding, "Unless the legality
of the letter's content is determin-
ed, I will ,keep a standing objce,-
lion here to all testimony that
doesn't pertain."
At a recess of ten minutes at
9 o'clock, Perrine went home, and

Social Security
Data Show Costs
Of Living Decline
As a resRl ota survey conduct-
ed by the Mason County Welfare
department in conjunction with
other countie in the state, sev-
eral changes in the cost of living
as it affects public assistance have
been noted.
SIRS. MARY McBRIDE, welfare
administrator, als0 pointed out
that her field workers and office
contacts show that the unemploy-
ment situation still looks bleak
even with an increase in farm ac-
tivity. "We just don't know what
to make of it," she comntented.
A summary of the cast of liv-
ing and public assistance findings
have been reported by B.oderic OI-
zendam, director of the state de-
partment of social security. He
said, "For the first time since bc-
fore World War II the net cost of
items provided in the basic budget
for recipients of public assistance
declined slightly. The change oc-
cured between September of 1948
and March of 1949."

Mt. View City
Move Slowed
By Court Order.
Movement to form a new
city adjacent to Shelton
• slowed down this week. For-
mation of the fourth-class
city of Independence, pro-
posed for Mountain View
area, has been delayed until
the parties meet in court to
determine the legality of the
petition filed June 13.
A WRIT ()l' prohibition was
obtained Friday in Ma:-;on Colmty
I Superior Court to prevent c(mnLy
commissioners front taking [CtiOn
to form tile city. Harold Lakeburg
of lIountain View filed the apph-
cation and affidavit, and Judge
Charles T. Wrigtt signed the tng-
ibition order.
Those who favor the incorpora,
ion of the new municipality and
those who question its so{ndness
wiil appear in Mason Cotmty Su-
perior Court at :10 a.m. July 23
to show cause why Lhc writ oi!
:prohibition should not bc m:tde
permanent.
In filing the application for the
prohibition order, Lakeburg com-
mented titat it was desirable to
delay the action of forming the
new city until people lmv had
sufficient time to think over the
consequences that may result.
TIlE COU][{,T OItDEI was bas-
ed on the alleged I'act that those
who petitioned for Lhc, formation
of Independence had not complied
with the statutory p r o v i s i o n s
which govern that type of pet.i-
ties.
The petit.ion asking for the
fourth-ciass city was filed June 13
by Tom Kneeiand and signed by
: about 100 reaidents in Mountain
View. In presenting thc petition
to the county conimissioners,
Knceland noted that the basis for
action rested on the need to im
prove the water system in Moun-
tain View.
The alternate writ of prohibi.
tion that was signed by Judge
Wright said in part that county
commissioners are "ordered to re-
frain from any and all further
proceedings upon or in connec-
tion with the said petition until
a hearing upon said petition i:
heard by the Superior Court."
