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.

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,

SGRRY MISTER-
WE NEED A WEEK
SOMEBODY
DON,T--Assistant postmaster Howard Yule, point-
ing to a be~rutiful new wood panel in the lobby of
Shelton's remodeled and enlarged post office, was
telling moving technician Simon Jorgensen (right)
that instructions to take out the panel had been
changed when Postmaster Jack Gray joshingly
grabbed his arm Tuesday just before the move
back to the building.
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. The new pro-I
duct iv also equipped with "float-
ers" to shorten binders for smaller
loads. Steel triangles are attached

Li= Somers TO Preach
File. 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."

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."
Thibodeau has recently purchas-
ed the McCleary theatre wl]ich
will be completely renmdeled in-
side and out over the Fourth of
July weekend. It will have 300
seats, including a balcony.
"The tecn-ager will be respected
and treated right," Thibodeau said.

fore? I . . . um . . . well . . . here

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.
Fro%her down on Cota, this
time on the cross roads with First,
MerV of MERV S TIRECAP has
been doing some terrific expand-
ing. He is going to do his own
tirecapping, front end work, ]ub-
ria~tion and a variety of other
chores. He also has in mind toi
pump some gas in his spare time.
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. So maybe he doesn't
like to work after all?
