The "litter season" is here but
there is plenty that can be done
about the problem, a Pacific
Northwest expert in the field
stressed this week.

Local organizations can combat
the mounting problem of litter by
creating their own campaigns. But
how do they get started?
Many communities and service
groups are turning to the CLEAN
and Beautiful organization for as-
sistance in developing anti-litter
programs, according to Eugene B.
Kasper, executive director of the
group.
CLEAN is the Washington-Ore-
gon anti-litter and beautification
coordina¢dng agency sponsored by
a wide range of Pacific North-
west business and industrial firms
"Many communlties, service
clubs; and other local groups find
the incentive to do something, but
they are stymied by not knowing
how to go about the job," Kasper
said. "These people can make use
of CLEAN's special clearing house
for information which is helpful
both during the organizational
)base and in the active campaign.
"WHAT IS believed to be the
West's largest collection of ref-
erence material on litter-preven-
tion and community beautificatiol~
t~ housed in CLEAN's office in Se-
attle. A wide variety of printed
materfal is available upor~ ~'e-
quest."
Kasper pointed out that the
CLEAN reference files also con-
tain information on how to ob-
tain the publications in bulk quan-
tities, plus "how-to-do-it" plans;
--catalogs for films, litter bags,
litter containers, signs, pins, and
stickers; trod many other items of
interest to those conducting litter-
prevention and beautification ac-
tivities.
He suggented that those inter-
ested in obtaining appropriate ma-
terial write to CLEAN and Beau-
tiful, 1100 Tower Building, Seattle,
Wash. 98101. The letter should in-
clude a brief description of the
program and the sponsoring or-
ganization so CLEAN can select
the most suitable and ~helpful ma-
terials, Kasper added.
SUMMER
Reg. $6.95 to $13.95
NEW YORK, (Special) --How
much will the recently-enacted ex-
cise cuts amount to in Mason
County? How much will local res-
idents save, on the average, per
year ?
Some idea of what the tax re-
ductions will mean, in terms Of
the individual, is brought out in
figures obtained from the Trea-
sury Department and from other
sources.
The amount that a person will
save is directy related to the
amount that he usually spends per
year for goods and services. If his
outlays are large, his savings will
be proportionately large.
Families in Mason County, on
the basis of what they spent for
consumer goods in 1964, shelled
out some $1,149,000 in Federal
excise taxes, it is estimated.
THEY ENCOUNTERED such
taxes every time they made a
telephone call or went to the mov-
ies or bought electric light bulbs,
leather goods, cigarettes, gaso-
line, refrigerators, beauty prod-
ucts, watches or a host of other
items.
Throughout the State of Wash-
ington, excise taxes collected by
the Government last year came to
$97,314,000, the Treasury Depart-
ment reports.
[]
ngs
The amount will be reduced
considerably from now on.
Mason County residents' share
of the immediate reductions~ which
Will total $1.~5 billion nationally,
will be approxiniately $144,000.
And, beginning next January,
they ~ill share in an additional
cut of $1.7 billion.
WITHIN FOUR YEARS, excise
taxes in the United States will be
$4.6 billion lower than they are
now. At that stage, local residents
will be better off, thanks to the
cuts, by about $379,000 a year, or
$68 per family,
That is the way It figures out
on paper. It assumes that mer-
chants and maufacturers will pass
on to the consumer the full amount
of the cuts.
If they do so they will be carry-
ing out the intent of the legis-
lation, which is to eliminate levies
that are burdensome and often
discriminatory and to stimulate the
economy by increasing the dispos-
able income of consumers.
However, indications of slug-
gishness in this direction, espec-
ially among manufacturers, are
being reported in some cases.
As a result, the Bureau of La-
bor Statmtics has undertaken a
survey to determine the extent of
this hold-back.

Hospital Board
Fills Vacancy
The Shelton General Hospital
Board of trustees at their July
meeting voted to make the chair-
man of the Mason County HOsl)ital
District Commission the member-
~lt-latlge ou the Shelton General
Board.
Bill Batstone is chairman of
the hospital district commission.
A vacancy in the at-large posi-
tion on the Shelton General Board
was created with the deatll of
Frank Travis Sr.
The action by the Shelton Gen-
eral board was taken to give thr
hospital commission some know-
ledge of the workings of a hospital
and to give the hospital district
voice in the operation of Shcl-
!:on General.
WHEN A NEW hospital, to be
built by the hospital district, is
completed, Shelton General Hospi-
tal will go out of exist•ace and
its assets will be turned over to
the hospital district.
The hospital district has submit-
ted its application for Hill-Burton
federal fut~ds, which it is antici-
pated Will be available for 40 isei~:
cent of the cost of the new hos-
pital.
The Hospital Commission ap-
plied for 40 percent of the cost
of the hew hospital. Estimated
cost of the project, at the time
a bond issue was approved by
voters of the county last May,
W~/s $1,640,00U.

district, has been named to the
Legislative Council sub-committee

Studies of state disabled and
vocationally handicapped persons
as well as problems raised by ad-
vancing technology will be stud-
led. The extent and needs of dis-
abled and vocationally handicap-
ped persons' problems will include
individuals injured, mentally re-
tarded, blind or otherwise handi-
capped.
PRESENT METHODS will be
studied with an eye to improv-
ing the systems, retraining indiv-
iduals and financing the work. The
current criteria will be probed
with hopes of increased coordina-
te• of efforts, Conner 'indicates.
The scope and extent of em-
ployment changes in Washington
due to automatic equipment will
be studied. Possible retraining fa-.
cilities an(~ financing will be in-
cluded in the report to be submit-
ted to the next session of the

A DANGEROUS SITUATION
THAT NEEDS CORRECTION
To the Editor
Dear Sir,
They say that the correction of
a condition comes abou~ only
after it is found to be faulty
by the people working with it.
The seriousness of this condition,
of course, is multiplied when it
endangers human lives. Therefore,
it is the obligation of each per-
son encountering, or having know-
ledge of it, to assist in eliminating
such conditions.
I am referring to a hazardous
condition on Interstate Highway
5 - or what is known as U.S.
Highway 10 where it travels
through Snoqualamie Pass.
This is a separated highway
from Cle Elum, Washington for
some seventeen miles - the sep-
aration sometimes being as much
as a city block. A person driving
West would find he is driving a
modern, limited access road for
these seventeen miles. On reaching
the crest of what is known as
Easton Hill, the driver enters a
curve. With no warning what-so-
ever he is facing oncoming traffic.
There have been no sig'ns warn-
ins of two-way traffic or con-
dittons ahead as he approached
this arcs.
This junction of the highway has
one of the worst histories of traf-
fic accidents on the road through
the Pass - a fact welNknown to
the Highway Department employ-
ees who maintain the road.
There is no separation, no fea-
thering out or channeling of ve-
hicles to proper lanes.
A person traveling the highway
during inclement weather, such as
rair. or snowy conditions, finds the
center line obliterated by the snow
or from previous sandings of the
road. After dark he is then faced
with glaring headlights of on-
coming traffic, increasing the haz-

Soon again this year, hundreds
of college students will be using
this highway - and up to now no
corrective measures have been
made to avert future tragedies at
the site.
By the united efforts of all who
travel, or will travel Snoqualmie

dangers will be eliminated to spare
other families unwarranted loss
