Contributions still trickling in for the Buddy Franklin kidney 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 thanks to all of you great people our family will be able to enjoy it.

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. D ALMOST COMPLETE---This new :building at the Mason County Fair Grounds is almost complete and will serve as a Forestry building this year. It is one of three new buildings which will be available for the fair Aug. 19-21o O AUDITORIUM--Another project at the Mason County Fair Grounds which will be completed in time for the fair is the addition of rest rooms onto thisbuilding which will serve as an aud:torlum. ,The building was completed last spring and was used the first time for a square dance during the For- est Festival. is so important to highway plan- ning, it is essential, as well as beneficial to the motorist, that full cooperation be extended to the interviewers, in order that the information obtained will be correct azld will accurately rep- resent the actual travel needs of the public. z"Motorists are asked to con- tinue to use the routes that they normally use and not try tc avoid the interview stations", Prahl added. 16 Pages -- 2 Sectinns 10 Cents Per Copy 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 ' ,,,, PETE ZOPOLIS, official weath- er statistician at Rayonier, report- ed these figures for the past week: Date high July 29 .............. 87 July 30 .............. 95 July 31 .............. 99 August 1 ............ 97 August 2 ............ 93 August 3 ............ 66 August 4 ............. 67 low precip. 50 ----- 56 ---- 54 58 ---- 6O 57 0.04 56 ---- Figures are for 24 hours ending at 8 a,m. of date listed. 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.

Some of the space in the adjoin- ing building will be available for lease to renters. M'cInelly said he already has several interested parr ties. This area will be available for four additional bowling' lanes if this should be feasible in the fu- ture, Mclnelly pointed out.
