"The project, under the super- vision of the department's air san- itation and radiation control sec- tion, will continue for about a year," Dr. Bucove said. It will inch|de cinder measure- ments at 1.4 strategic locations, collection of continuous data on wind direction and speed, and in- terviewing of selected local busi- ness establishments and residents.

(Jack) Baikie of Camp- bell River, B.C., Governor of the Rotary District of this area, ad- dressed the local Rotary Club last week during his official visit. The ideal club is one of 46 Rotary clubs in this District. Speaking of the global growth of Rotary, he said "l~.otary is the pioneer of the service ellfl)s and today numbers more than 1.2,000 clubs with a combined member- ship of 568,800 business and pro- fessional men. Spread tll]oughoui i27 countries in all paris of tlW. world, Rotary clubs meet every- day of the, week ltlld eondl.lct ac- tivities to improve their commm~- tries, aid youth, elevate business standards: and fm'ther internation- al friendship and understanding." TIlE DISTRICT Governor also conferred with Jim Connolly, local Rotaz'y Club president, and other club members, on matters ()f club administration and plans for Iu- ture service activities. Referring to the program of C.P.H. Teenstra of the Nether- lands, President of Rotary Inter- national for 1965-66, ihe Rotary Governor said, "Rotary Clubs world-wide have been urged by President Teenstra to translate plans intn aclion for the global ad- vancenlent, of the plogram of Ro- tary. He lias also continued for its thir:l year a program linking Rotary Districts in diffe,,ent parts of the world as a means of en- couraging Rotary clubs and indi- vidual l%otarians to understand one another better by working togeth- er on mutually helpful projects". Cost for the sleek white engine and accompanying equipment is about $21,000. The truck is com- plete with a 750-gallon tank and 750-gallon-a-minute pump and has a serf-contained breathing appar-i atus stored in one of its side corn-: partments. Five fire hoses and two! smaller booster reels may be ot)-i crated from the vehicle, 'which- liB, powered by a 235-horse engine! wiht 291-cubic-inch displacement. ! IT'S QUITE an improvementI over the old truck, said Walt Car- penter, the most recent,addition, to the District No. 1 fire commission. Carpenter succeeds Gordon Dick- inson, who resigned in late ,July because the Commission post con- flicted with his job. He said the old engine, which will. ,'emain in use, has a 500-gallon tank and is much slower, having only an 80- horse motor to push it. Carpenter, who joins ,Jim Shu- mate and Dan Anderson on the .commission, said he hopes the new Between 15 and 25 members of the Hoodsport Volunteer Fire De- partment have been attending monthly fire School meetings at the Hoodsport Station since Novem- ber. Purpose of the 16-week course, which is' being given by the State Board of Vocational Ed- ucation, is'.to acquaint fire de- partment members with modern firefighting methods and the use of modern equipment, such as that included on the new truck. We wanted the schooling done first, before we got the new en- gine so that everyone would know how to use the truck when it came, said Bob Nesbitt, fire chief. The department almost met its deadline. The engine arrived last week and the final installment of the course will be completed Au- gust 23... It's probable that the Hoods- port Fire Dept. isn't too .saddened to get this new truck and addi- tional protection early, however. The new Hoodsport truck is among several which have been purchased by Mason County Fire Districts in the last two ye'ars, not to mention the new fire station which has been added in the Ma= son-Bermon Lakes area District this year. Other engines acquired by county districts since 1963 in- clude those at Belfair, Grapeview, Allyn, Union and Arcadia.

Sprinkling of the lawns at the city hall had to be discontinued because fhe water was coming up in the jail in the Police Depart- ment in the basement. City Supervisor Pat Byrne told the city commission Tuesday thai he had inspected the basement, and, believed that the water was coming up throngh cracks in the floor, but, the paint from the floor would have to be removed before a positive determination could be made. The paint removal will be ac- complished as soon as someone is available to do it so the problem can be taken care of before the rainy season this fall.

Police Chief Richard Camper told the commiss:ion that Patrol- man Dick Nelson had been assign- ed to investigate juv¢nile matters coming up in the department and to work with Probation Officer Marvin Christensen. He recommended that the ap- pointment of Patrolman James Cross be put on a permanent basis since Cross had satisfactorily com- pleted his six-months probationary period. A petition was received from several residents asking that a "Danger, Sharp Curve" sign be posted .)n B Street adjacent to ]3th Street and Laure! Street.

He will go over ~it with Street Superintendent Bob Temple and Commissioner Elroy Nelson before final action is taken.' The bid of the Shelton Agent's Association for $1,750 for liability insurance for the .city was accept- ed. It was the only bid received.

The Shelton School Board Tues- day night voted to tear out the old wooden steps leading down the hill behind tl]e Junior High School and replace them with concrete steps. The board instructed the school administration to prepare specifi.. cations for the concrete steps and advertise for bids to be opened at the September meeting of the school board. The district will remove the old wooden steps as soon as possible because of the unsafe condition. The steps were barricaded and a warning sign posted on them re- cently after an inspection revealed they were unsafe. • Estimate, S.cOat ,~ ,:th~l~ l,~ in' excess 6~"$~';~0::~'~:i ' ['""~" The School bo~trd, at a s~iecial meeting Aug. 3 voted to award contracts for the repair of the roofs of Grant C, Angle, Bordeaux and Mt View School buildings to the Victor Orlans Roofing Co., Tacoma, the only bidder on the work. The bid fo'r the Angle and Bordeaux work was $17,0:12 ahd for Mt. View $7,471. THE BOARD rejected as too high bids by the same firm on repair of the roofs of the High School Gymnasium and the Irene,-" S. Reed Building on the recommen- dation of Architect William Conk- lin. New bids will be sought on these two projects. The board also approved up to $2,500 for the repair of one half of the roof of the Evergreen build- ing using a cold roofing process. The work is to be done by school maintenance personnel. The-board Tuesday night voted to recommend to the County Board of Education that Mason County be kept as a separate unit in the proposed master plan for the state for changes from county to inter- mediate school superintendent dis- triers. The county board had submitted four possible plans to the various school districts, the other three involving combining parts of 'Ma- son County with other counties. J. W. Goodpaster, county super- intendent of schools, told the Shel- ton Board that: the county had already received recommendations from oti~er school directors in the county and that all favored retain- ing the county as a separate unit. The county board will submit a proposal to the stat% board of edu- cation which will prepare a master plant which will be submitted to a convention of school district di- rectors tn the state. The school board voted to have the Shelton district join the Thurs- ton-Mason County Instructional Materials Library. The library pro- vides fihns, film strips and other audio-visual educational materials for use in the classroom. Cost of the program will be $2,200 for the necessary files and equipment and a charge of 50 cents student per year. p~r ON THE RECOMMENDATION of the superintendent to have two classes of kindergarten at Ever- green, one at Bordeaux and none at Mt. View for the coming year. One class, the older youngsters, from Rogers School, will be i brought into the Junior High School building and two classes will remain in the present Rogers Building. Appt~isals of $40,000, $39,500 and $39,500 on the Lincoln School property were received frnm local real estltte men. The school district intends to sell the property and had to have the three appraisals before ~t could set a price. Bids on fuel oil for the coming year were received from Olympia Oil and Wood Products Co. and Acme Fuel Co. The bids were taken under advisement. The board approved contracts for six new teachers, Roger John- " Also anproved was the hiring of :Mrs. William Brown as a bus driv- er and the transfer of Gary Nun- :nelee to High School civics and Warren Johnson to industrial arts in High School. Supt Robert Quiggle, in a state- ment to the board, said that fur- ther investigation had led to the withdrawal of a request he made in June for the resignation of.Ray Coleman as bus driver-mainten- ance man. The resignation of Irving Vik as an elementary teacher at Mr. View was accepted. $1 e/ton Man Is Suicide Raymond Allen Kimmerly, 33, Jones Road, died Tuesday after- noon of an apparently self-inflicted gun shot wound.
