fund had pushed the total past the
$10,800 mark at noon yesterday.
The official figure listed by the
Seattle-First National Bank was
$10,784.29 as of Tuesday's closing,
but several small contributions in
Wednesday's mail had not been
added to tile figure at pressthne
and would push the total some-
what over $10,800.
Meanwhile, two letters regard-
ing the fund bear attention. From
the Franklin family came a note
of appreciation which read:
"The Buddy Franklins would
like to say thanks from. the bot-
tom of our hearts.
"To say thanks seems to little
to say or do for what all your won-
derful people did for us.
"It's a wonderful world and

Thank you all Very much."

Dear Mr. Fox:
It was a real pleasure for the
Seattle Artificial Kidney Center to
receive your letter of July' 26, ad-
vising us of the outstanding suc-
cess of your efforts to raise funds
to support Mr. Buddy Franklin.
You and all members of your
drive, including the many organi-
zations that helped, have not only
made a successful effort to support
this member of your community,
but you have also given us a first
to point to in community support
of one of our applicants, as well
as having achieved a goal, a much
larger community might have hes-
itated to undertake.

GORDON DICKINSON
Resigns Post
f•.
::i A provision in the Tacoma City
:,~harter has forced a member of
'~e Mason County Hospital Corn-
niisslon to resign.
Gordon Dickinson, Hoodsport,
his resignation to the
fltal Commissioners at their
meeting last week. Dickinson is
employed by Tacoma City Light
at its Cushman Power Plant. A
position he has held for some 20
years.
Dickinson said he had been in-
formed by the Tacoma City legal
department that a provision in
the city's charter prohibits any
employee from .holding an elective
office. He said he must also re-
sign from the Hoodsport Fire Dis-
trier commission, of which he has
been a member seven years.
Dickinson said he had written
permission from an official of Ta-
coma City Light to hold the fire
district commission position and
that he had had verbal permission
from his superiors before becom-
ing a candidate for the hospital
commission.
THE REMAINING two commis-
sion members, Bill Batstone, chair-
man, and Dick Angle, accepted
Dickinson's resignation with "re-
luctance and regret" and appoint-
ed Robert S. Holt, Union, to suc-
ceed him on the commission.
Holt is an engineer in the Simp-
son Timber Company plant engi-
neering division, in Shelton. He has
been a resident here since 1946
and has been with Simpson during
the time.
Fib is a past chairman of the
S~elton •City Pl'anning Commissi0n,
serving eight years before' resign=
ing when he moved to Union about
a year and a half ago.
He is also immediate past presi-
dent of the Shelton Rotary Club.
He is married and the father ~f
two daughters and a son. One
daughter is married.
In tendering his resignation
from the Hospital Commission,
Dickinson said that he regretted
that the action was necessary and
that it had been " a privilege and
a pleasure" to serve on the com-
mission.

beneficial to the motorist, that
full cooperation be extended to
the interviewers, in order that

Critical forest fire conditions
which caused Mason County log-
ging operations to be shut down
for three days late last week and
early this week were relieved
enough by light rain and cooler
temperatures Tuesday that woods-
men returned to their Jobs.
Logging resumed on a "hoot-
owl" basis, but the cloud overcast
and cooler air brought enough
higher humidity with it that nor-
mal working hours were restored
at mid-week.
BOTH THE DEPARTMENT of
Natural Resources and U, S. For-
:est Service offices here said all
i restrictions have been lifted in this
area and throughout western
Washington.
During the critical period, when
temperatures reached or neared
the 100-degree level for four con-
secutive days, no serious fires
broke out (see Liz Somers' Keep
Green column on another page).
The heat wave was broken by a
light rain Monday and Tuesday
which totalled only 0.04 inches on
the Rayonier weather station in-
struments during the 24-hour pe-
riod preceding 8:00 a,m. Tuesday.
At the same time, temperatures
which had peaked at 99 degrees
Saturday and held at 93 degrees
or higher through Monday broke
to a high of 66 Tuesday and 67
yesterday. The lows these two
days were 57 and 56 for a narrow
: range ' ,,,,

Zopolis reported July had a total
of 1.6 inches of rain, compared to
a 33-year average for the month
of 0.90 inches. For the seven
months of 1965 so far 35,52 inches
has been recorded at the Rayonier
weather station. The 33-year aver-
age is 33.95 inches.
Saturday's 99 was the month's
high temperature, 45 degrees the
low on the 19th. The month's mean
maximum was 80.5, the mean min-
im,urn 52.9, Zopolis reported.
Major expansion and remodeling
of the Timber Bowl began this
week in a project owner L. L. Mc-
Inelly said involves in excess of
$85,000,
Four bowling lanes will be add-
ed to the present eight and the
50x120 foot building adjoining the
present Tbr~ber Bowl structure will
be incorporated physically into the
remodeled plant. McIneily has
purchased the additional building,
vacant since Boon's Plumbing &
Heating moved two years ago,
from Hal Grant.
McInelly already owns the pres-
ent Timber Bowl quarters, which
he opened just ten years ago last
week.
The four new bowling lanes will
be installed adjoining the present
eight beds, which calls for remov-
ing a locker room, men's and wom-
en's restromns, a laxge nursery
room, and McInelly's office and re-
constructing them in the adjoin-
ing building. The new lanes will
be installed by either Brunswick,
or AMF, McInelly said.
ROY RENEcKER has the con-
tract for remodeling the two
buildings in a 25-step project
which includes revamping the
The Board of Mason Cout~ty
~ommlssioners Monday by major-
ity vote appointed Chief Deputy
Auditor lYfrs. Ruth E. Boysen to
fill the office of County Auditor
for the remainder of the unexpir-
ed term of C. Nolan Mason, who
resigned July 16.
Mrs. Boysen's term runs until
January, 1967. She has worked in
the County Auditor's office since
1958 when she was hired as Dep-
nty Auditor under Suzie Pauley.
She has served as Chief Deputy
Auditor since her appointment to
that post in 1963 by Mason.
MRS. BOYSEN'S appointment
came as the result of a 2-1 decision
by the Com~missioners. Martin Au-
seth, who made only a brief ap-
pearance at the meeting because
of recent illness, stated that he
could not consider anything other
than the good of the community
and its smooth operation and mov-
ed to appoint Mrs. Boysen. Au-
seth's motion was seconded by
Commissioner Harry Elmlund, but
John Bariekman voted no.
Commissioner Bariekman mov-
ed to appoint Katherine H. "Kit-
ty" Johnson to fill the vacancy in
the Auditor's office, but his motion
died for lack of a second. , ....
...... Mrs, Jp~son, whose written ap-
plication foil the job was read at
the meeting Monday along with
that of Mrs. Boysen's, ran unsuc-
cessfully against Mason for Coun-
ty Auditor in 1962. Letters recom-
mending a Democrat and urging'
the appointment of Mrs. Johnson
were received from the Interna-
tional Woodworkers of America
Local, the John Cope Labor Com-
mittee and the Mason County La-
bor Council and were read at the
meeting.
In his letter of resignation, Ma-
son recommended to the Commis-
si0n that Mrs. Boysen be appoint-
ed to fill the vacancy. Uipon noti-
fication of her appointment Mrs.
Boysen said that she was "pleas-
ed" and "hoped to carry on with
the same policies undertaken in
the past."
She was administered the oath
of her new office later Monday
afternoon by Mason and County
I Prosecutor Barney McClanahan.
FOR THE HORSES---The framing was started on
this new building at the Fair Grounds. The build.
ing will serve as housing for the 4.H horse entries,
which have grown considerably during th~ past
few years.
@
A SEPARATE PHASE of the
over-all project is provision of a
parking area behind the buildings
for 56 cars. An area 220 x 80 feet,
some of it across the alley behind
the buildings, will be blacktopped
for parking.
Completion of the project in ex-
pected by mid-September, McInel-
ly said. This will delay opening of
the regular league bowling sea-
son a couple of weeks later than
usual at the Timber Bowl. Ap-
proximately 15 leagues have been
bowling at the Timber Bowl in
last seasons.
The additional four lanes will
nake it feasible for leagues to
have up to 12 teams, McInelly
pointed out, and some are already
planning that sort of expansion.
As part of the entire project, an
air conditioning system will be in-
stalled in the remodeled bowling
quarters and all the equipment will
be modernized at the same time,
McInelly explained. Billiard and
pool tables also will be installed
to diversify the recreation facili-
ties, he added.
In other Commission action
Monday, the Board awarded the
bid for the demolition of the old
Deer home to the Olympia Paving
Company. The bid, for $459.99,
called for the completion of tile
project within 90 days.
The County Engineer reported
to the,~ Commission that the stone
railing at the Memorial Building is
loose and needs attention. The En-
gineer was directed by the Board
{o investigate the cost of repair-
ing the present stone balustrade
and providing an iron "
pipe,
i wrought iron or aluminum-p{p~
!hand rail on the ramp.
The continued hearing on th¢
Bald Point Aerie Plat was ~aken
up and the plat was accepted by
the Commissioners after a recom-
~rmndation of acceptance by the en-
gineer.
