/'t To Increase Of Timber M(')re timber will he made avail- able for WashingtoWs logging and milling industries during the ne×l. biennimn, which starts .hily 1, State Land Commissioner Bert L. Cole ammune.ed the Department of Natural Resources wilt step up the number of thinning sales (m state-owned forests. During the next biennium, covering the period from July 1, 1965 to June 30, 1967, the state plans to offer about 75 million I)oard feet in thinning sales. Anticipated Mason county sales include 1,200,000 bd. ft. in each 1966 and 1967 from tile Shelton office in addition to some sales from the Port Orchard office. Commissioner Cole said ~:~boul 25 million board feet will be sold during fiscal year 1966. By con-- parison, during fiscal year 1965, which ends June 30, the state mold eight million board feet of timber in thinning sales. The thinning sales planned for fiscal year 1967 will be doubled to some 50 million board feet. The projected thinning sales will be held mainly in Western Wash- ington. Thinning sales are the harvest- ing of selected trees within a tim- ber stand prior to their maturity and the final cutting of the entire stand. This thinning utllizes trees that would normally die as the stand grows older and the number of trees per acre decreases. ON HONOR ROLL A Shelton student, Harry O. Wirth Jr., has been named to the spring quarter honor roll at 'East- era Washington State College. Wirth, son of Mr. and Mrs. Har- ry G. Wirth Sr., is a senior psychology major at EWSC. I 205 Co ta Shelton, Wash. 0nly The Turtle Knows For Sure Two readers have come up with possible answers to the question "where did the turtle come fn~m?" raised last week as the result of a Journal pic- ture and story concerning the discovery of a large turtle in Goldsborough Creek. Walt Austin, Shelton Post Of- fice employee, said Thursday that a friend and former Shel- tonian Zane Dick, who resided at 1520 Ridgeroad, had kept a pet turtle tinder his house un- til it escaped shortly before Dick moved 10 years ago. As far as Austin knows, the turtle hasn't been seen since---possibly until now. A few minutes later Mrs. Art Howard called with another tur- tle clue, She said that her grand- daughter, Debble Howard, 5, had had a pet turtle of the same size and description as that one found in Goldsborough Creek, but the travelling turtle es- caped its confinement at the Art Howard home ,on Fairmont Street "about a month ago and hasn't turned up since. Debbie had found the reptile by the side of the road while on a fishing trip to Hank's Lake. The Goldsborough specimen, whose shell measured six inches across and eight inches in length, was found by Skip Stidd, 9, and Jerry Miller, 11, while on another fishing expedition. Both the Dick and Howard turtles could be the one in ques- tion and both .could actually be the same turtle (providing its an elderly turtle). But woh's to say where it came from and .how it got there?---only the turtle knows for sure. Mother of Hoodsport Man Taken By Death Christina King, Belltngham, died in a rest home there last Frid~ay. Mrs. King, the mother Of Dess Haines of Hoodsport, was 89 years old. She resided in Union many years ago. The funeral sm'¢ice and burial were held in Bellingham In addition to Mr. Haines, :Mrs. King is survived by another son, Herb Haines of Edmonds and two daughters, Mrs. Stella Krause of Bellinghnm and Aloha of Salem, Ore.

The go ahead for the poverty fighting program, titled the South- west Washington Multi-County Area Neighborhood Youth Corps, was signalled in Washington D. C. with approval of $101,517 as the Federal Government's contribution. Total budget for the project is $112,797. ~ Mary M. Knight school project is included in the program. The purpose of the project, ac- cording to Supt. Gene French, is to employ students bbtween the ages of 16 and 21 from low in- come families during the summer months. The youths, both boys and girls, can work a 40-hour-week, although the average work week will be 32 hours, at a rate of $1.25. The hope, according to French is to keep the youngsters in school and give them funds for clothes and supplies they will need when class begins next fall. LOTS OF ROOM--More than twice the working space of the old post office is now available to the personnel of the S h e I t o n post staff now with completion of the addition to the building. This scene shows the work area just before the move was completed Tuesday back to the remodeled and enlarged structure. Postal patrons began receiv- ing their mail in the new area Wednesday. Ohamberlin Binder (Continued f,'orn page 1) More than 3,000 binders have been sold since February, Cham- I berlin said. He explained that: most !sales have gone to lumber and plywood haulers, but added that I binders ,are actually suitable for "ttxmking anything on an open flatbed truck where it is necessary to tie down materials." Chamber- lin has been his own distribution agent, travelling to Idaho, Mon- tana, Wyoming, Oregon, Utah and Nevada to demonstrate his wares. MOST OF THE individual bind- ers range in length from 10-20 fe~t~, but the 48,000 pound test coat- I ed nylon webbing may be made to any length desired.

Prevention. • During Summer Months Liz Somers of Grapevlew, Queen of the 1964 Mason County Fo~'est Festival, will again preach ~ire prevention in the County's eight youth camps and state parks dur- ing the critical summer months. Her appointment for the second mccessive year was announced by M. :~. "Bud" Lyon, vice president of the Forest Festival Association. MISS SOMERS, who jpst com- pleted her freshman year at the University of Washington, will regularly visit the ~arks and camps to remind visitors in Mason County Forests to be careful with fire. Last year she logged 1,000 miles in making her rounds. "Many persons don't realize the Forest Festival has sponsored this activity for the past decade as a way to promote fire prevention." said Lyon. "We believe having the direct contact with persons using the forests, most of whom are from outside Mason County, has played an important part in keep- ing our fire losses extremely low in recent years." Pioneer School Bid ' Opening Date Extended The Pioneer school boaxd has ex- tended the opening of bids on the addition, and alterations to the Pi- oneer school to July 8. The board members and architect came to this decision to permit at least two additional bids to be submitted for the job. The bid opening had been advertised for June 29, 1965. The contract to be let includes expansion and additional equip- meat for the school kitchen which provides capacity for the increased school size, an additional four classrooms, one of which is sized 'and equipped fo~ the sevbnth grade junior high studies, plus teacher, health and work room facilities. 426-2445 i J _ i i illl i IIA1NES PANCAKE HOUSE PURCIIASED BY ADAIRS By Fr~mces Catto Jack and "Mickey" Adair are the new husl~and-and-wife owners of the Haines Pancake House north of Hoodsport. Jack is the chef in this pa~.nership and will take Dess Haines' place in flipping the hotcakes and making the oy- ster stew and'clam chowder, fea- tured in the cheerful little log cabin restaurant. Mickey will be his chief assist- ant and work with Jack as Edna did with Dess. Adair is an experienced cook, having cooked in the Olympic Ho- tel kitchen and in the Caravan Cafe iu Arlington, %Vash. For the past year the Adairs have been managers of the Belfair Cafe in Bclfau'. They took over the Pan- cake House June 20, just about a year a.fter its opening for bus- iness in its picturesque Canal lo- cation. "We'll be clmnging the name a little later," we were told by Mickey Adair, who said that they would be adding a chicken fryer to their equipment and enlarging the restahrant's menu. They will continue to serve breakfast "any time". Advancement of the date for taking over the business,' orginal- ly planned for July 1, was made because of the serious illness :of Mr. Haine's mother. SLaying temporarily :at the J. W. hmtley home in Shelton, the Haineses plans for the future may include a mobile home. I$I, UE OX EQUIPMENT TO BE AUCTIONED In about tluee weeks the equip- ment and furnishings of the Blue O× Theatre will be offered for sMe daring a 3-day 3-night auc- tion, owner Fred Thibodeau an- nounced this week. Thibodeau recently sold the iheat.re building site" to the Na- lion.al Bank of Mason County, which will begin constraction of a new bank building there in the immediate future. Date for the auction will be an- not2need soon. Thibodeau said he may construct a new 300-seat theatre'in Shelton "if attendance at the Skyline drive in this summer is encouraging."

TODAY Just about the biggest story of :the month, and maybe the year, turned out to be the announcement of the NATIONAL BANK OF MASON COUNTY buying the BLUE OX THEATRE building and the property adjoining" it. This should strengthen the whole of the business community and should help Cota St. emmensely. One of the fine examples of im- provements on Cote is the new en- trance and parking lot of OLSEN ]FURNITURE. This will= coincide ~with the new bank building, which will be a two-story outfit with busin~ess offices on the second floor. Should make quite a block.

I will say one thing, Merv surei wants and tikes work. Although (he told me in utmost secrecy, so don't you say anything) that he plans on hiring some more help in the future.
