CHRISTENSEN spoke to about
400 persons in Jefferson Junior
High School auditorium in 'Olym-
pia.
Tentative plans have been made
for a Christensen rally in Tacoma
during the visit by Sen. Barry
Goldwater Sept. 5. Goldwater will
speak at the University of Puget
Sound fieldhouse at noon that day.
Christensen told the Olympia
rally he left his pastorate to enter
politics because "the socialism
that exists in government is be-
yond belief."
"Without government based on
our constitution, all else we value
is in jeopardy", he added.
CHRISTENSEN said he is op-
posed to any program for medi-
cal care for the aged which is tied
to the social seenrity system and
that :t rejects federal aid to ed-
u,a,tt'*,\\;"ouuse ile tilinks it: will
bring'.leri.l control of schools.
"Time has run out for govern-
ment by the people as more and
more power is given by Congress
to the president and the federal
agencies he controls", Christensen
said.
THE CANDIDATE was intro-
:duced by Edward Eisenhower, Ta-
coma attorney, and brother of the
former president•
A storewide organization of a
group of women known as Wo-
men on the Warpath for Christen-
sen" is working for his election.

group in Mason County.

Are Cane, Ihd
The State Department of Nat-
ural Resources cancelled all burn-
ing permits and put all logging
operations on "hootowi", last week.
The cool, damp weather so far
this year delayed the action later
than usual.
The order affects areas two and
three of the Shelton District,
which includes most of Mason
County and part of Jefferson
County.
Similar action was taken by the
Port Angeles District office,
which has the remainder of Mason
County.
The order went into effect
Thursday night to continue
through Monday night.
The Department Tuesday re-
moved the "hootowl" restrictions
on logging, but continued the ban
on fire permits through next Mon-
vlay.
About the only areas in which
burning is still permitted are along
.';alt water beaches and some low-
land pasture areas which fall into
Zone 1, the area of least hazard.
Franchise ToGas
Firm Approved
Mason Cntmty Commissioners
Monday approved, a 19-year fran-
chise to Cascade Natural Gas
Company to run gas lines west of
Shelton.
No one apcared at a hearil to
object to ttie granting of the fran.
chise.
The line in the area included will
go from where Cascate Natural
connecl.s on to the ElPaso Pipe-
line Company' main line outside
the city to connect up with the
city's gas system.
Ed Robcrson, Bremerton, dis-
trict supervisor for Cascade Nat-
ural, said it isn't likely that Shel-
ton will get natural gas this year.
The nearest point to which the
Eas line has been extended is 16
miles, east of Olympia.
The two firms work together,
wih El Paso building the main
gas line which will go past Shel-
ton to serve Bremerton and the
upper Peninsula. Cascade Natural
installs the gas lines in the city,
