Comparing the ironworkers de-
mands to terms with other unions
this year, the company representa-
tives said the carpenters, laborers
and cement finishers each signed
a three-year contract calling for
wage increases and a few fringe
benefits which amounted to 25,
18 and 17 cents for the carpenters
and 15 cents each year for the
other two unions for the three
years.
And how about a small flood of individual donations,
especially from parents of youngsters who are benefiting
from the activities of the recreation program ? In past years
public response to the needs of the recreation program have
been far greater than they have so far this year.
The program faces an early death if this
doesn't happen, and to start the ball rolling The
Journal is happy to contribute $25. Who'll match it ?
At this time the $5 contributions during the past week
of Jim Barrom and Lorna Dayton are gratefully acknow-

In Road Projects for Coming Year
The Mason County Commission
Monday approved a road program
of more than $175,000 for 1963.
Three projects, rebuilding two
bridges and one bituminous ur-
facing project, will be let on con-
tract,
THE OTItER WORK, mostly
smaller jobs, will be done by
county road mahtenance crews.
The program contains $58,600
worth of work in each of the three
commission districts.
The reason more of the jobs are
not being let 'on cont[ct is be-
cause they are small, and, several
would have to be lumped together
to get a good contract bid. Also,
on the smaller jobs, the percent-
age of the cost for engineering
and overhead is much higher if
0one on contract.

The program adopted will be
followed as closely as practical,
but, may be changed by the com-
mission to fit emergency needs
and actual fiscal income, the com-
missioners said.
THE JOBS which are not be-
ing let on contract are of the
type which fit in with the equip-
ment and capabilities of the coun-
ty crews, they said.
The three jobs to be let on
contract are bituminous surfacing
on 2.8 miles of road on Harstine
Island from the mailbox corner
to Point Wilson Road in eommis-
siofi district one, with an.estimat-
ed cost of $9,000; replace the
Lower Vance Creek Bridge on the
Skokomish Valley Road in com-
mission district two, with n est-
imated cost of $20,000, and re-
building the Rossmaier Bridge on
the Matlock-Deckerville Road in
commission district three with an
estimated cost of $11,000.

One cold press which was in the
vicinity of the fire was not able
to start up, but, workers on it
were assigned to other jobs, the
company said•
The fire broke out under tim
floor about 8:45 a.m. Monday
while welders were working on
steel floor plates doing mainten-
ance work while the plant was
closed.
THE WELDERS tmed in the
alarm and began doing what they
could to fight the blaze. Fire fight-
ing equipment from McCIeary,
Shelton, Olympia, Elms, the Simp-
son Tree Farm and the Depart-
ment of Natural Resom'ces in
Shelton answered the call.
Firemen were able to control
the blaze within two hours. All
electric cable running under the
floor was burned and shorted out,
cutting off the lights whicll ham-
pored the fire fighting efforts.
• The damage was largely to the
heavy planking on the floor, which
had to be torn out and replaced.
