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.

She}ton pioneer families and friends are invited. 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, All ENI)IENTS The text of eight proposed con- stitutional amendments Which will be submitted to the voters of the .,;tate in the November General Election appears on pages 14 and 15.
