"Olympic Ferries, the private
operators of the ferry route, have
indicated that they will have to go
out of business unless they are
permitted to suspend operations
between October 16, and next
April 15," Representative Conner
said in a lc,ter to the committee
chairman, Senator AI Henry.
"It seems unfair that a private
company should be forced to
continually take severe losses on a
route that properly should be a
part of the state ferry system."
the 24th District legislator, a
member of the transportation
committee, said Olympic Ferries
have sustained losses of some
$45,000 in operating the run.
"If the State Utilities and
Transportation Commission turns
down the request for suspension
of the service between October
and April, the company will go
out of business and the Olympic
Peninsula Will be without this

Tacoma
More than 500 librarians and
library trustees of the Northwest
will meet in Tacoma, Aug. 18-20
for the 61 st annual conference of
the Pacific Northwest Library
Association, to be held at Pacific
Lutheran University.
Among those registered for
the conference are Mrs. Morley
Kramer, librarian at the Shelton
City Library, and Mrs. Shirley
Beelik, librarian at the
Washington Corrections Center.
Association business will take
only a brief spot on the
conference program. Most of the
time will be devoted to exploring
ways and means of recognizing
and using local history in
c o m m u nity libraries. Exhibits,
lectures and workshops have been
arranged to "show and tell" what
history is all about, with emphasis
on history as it is being made day
by day.
"We think this year's
conference program is one of the
most innovative in PNLA's own
history," said Mrs. Ruth
llamilton, program chairman.
"'Almost everyone is interested in
some aspect of history, and the
workshops and lectures planned
for the conference will give ideas
to every librarian which can be
used in his own community."
A highlight of the three-day
program will be the concluding
"International" banquet at which
past presidents of the association
will be honored. Eighteen of them
are expected to attend.

to 485. Last year the number of
deaths through July totaled 486.
The July, 1970 count was 86.
Commission Director Clifford
E. Aden stated the number of
traffic deaths registered during
the last 15 days of July almost
doubled the number killed during
the first half of the month. Thirty
died between July 1 and July 15,
compared with 53 the last 15
days.
"Good weather the last three
weeks of July brought more
Washingtonians out onto the
highways. However, motorists
apparently failed to adjust their
driving to the sudden increase in
traffic and good weather.
''These needless,
heartbreaking tragedies were a
result of careless driving• It is the

responsibility of every motorist to
eliminate these errors. We can and
must do a better job out on the
highway."
Speed and failure to grant the
right-of-way were the leading
driver failures contributing to
July's fatal collisions. Traveling at
excessive speed or too fast for
conditions contributed to 22 fatal
collisions. Failure to yield the
right-of-way resulted in 18
mishaps. Improper passing,
crossing over the centerline and
disregarding traffic signs or signals
led to 15 fatal crashes.
Thirty-seven persons killed
were drivers, 36 were passengers,
4 were pedestrians, 3 were riding
bicycles, two were driving
motorcycles and one person fell
from a moving vehicle.

INTRODUCING SOMETHING NEW FROM
THOSE INNOVATIVE PEOPLE DOWN AT TCF!
Here's exciting news for everyone who wonts to get o little more mileage out of their han:l-
earned money. Now, for the first time in o long time, you don't have to be a big saver to earn
the highest insured interest rote available in the state.
Because, beginning this week, you con now earn o big 6% on your savings and investment=
at TCF when you begin with as little as only $1,000, invested for a two year period.
That's right! TCF has lowered its 6% earnings requi,ement from $5,000 to just $1,000 in
order to allow more people to take advantage of the higher interest rate. And, remember too,
TCF's 6% interest rate is really 6.18% when.compounded doily and accumulated annually.
So why settle for less. Isn't it time you began saving your money here with the friendly
people at TCFP
