FAIR QUEENS---Pictured here a,-e some firsts of interest to
Mason County fair goers. Sally Wolf, left, is the 1964 Mason
County Fair Queen. With her is Mrs. Donald Likes, who was
honored in 1956 as the first Mason County Fair Queen. At that
time she was Bernice Emsleyp daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl
Emsley. The ,other ='FirSt" is that Mrs. Likes has just com-
pleted her first year as a 4.H leader with the Clover Girls
club, This first year club walked off with half of the honors
for the Simpson Trophy at 4-H Camp this year. Honor of fair
queen is given by popular vote bo an outstanding 4-H girl who
has completed at least three years of club work, is at least 15
years of age. Bernice Emsley Likes was voted in 1956, Sally Wolf's.
sister, Karen, was voted in 1962 and now Sally Wolf. This attests
to the importance 4-H club work and what all tile activities can
be in the life of a 4-H member.

Tlle following statement was
issued this week by tl~e Shelton
Area Ambuhmce A s s o c i a t i o n,
whicit was formed ree.ently as a
result of efforts of a Chamber el
C()mmcrcc committee to bring all
antbulanee service into Sllelton.
WHAT'S BEHIND THE
AMBULANCE STORY
For some time there ilas boon a
searel~ for the proper answer to
Shclton's need of a good ambu-
lance service, with both City anct
County officials as well as the
Chamber of Commerce atteanpting
to find the answer.
Early this year when complaints
about the now defunct Torsal¢ Am-
bulanee Service mounted, and it
I)ccarne apparent ti~at because ot
that and financial and other prob-
lems the service would not con-
tinue, the Chamber of Conmlercc
stepped up its activities. The City
Petitions proposing tile forma-
tion of a Mason Couuty hospital
district as a means of solving this
community's pressing hospital pro-
biota vvere placed in circulation
Ttlesday.
If some 800 signatures are se-
culed by early next weeR tile
mecllanles of placing 'the propojsal
hefm,e the voters at tim general
election next November will be
safely ill motion.
Although time is slmrt to campy
out the several legal stops required
by law. the proposM can make the
November ballot Safely if the
county connnissioners receive the
properly signed petitions by mi(l-~
week. They wouht then set a date
for a public hearing, and if no
hitches developed at, this hearing
Affairs Committee of the Chamber
0f Commerce waa instructed by
tho I~oard of Directors to investi-
gate all possibilities and report.
THE FIRST findings of the
emnnflttee were that an anlbulance'
service, by itself, could not be ex-
pccted to support itself solely from
I0 revenuos and maintain a properly
high c'tlibre of service. Tr0ublc-
Most Mason County Schools will
open Sept. 8 with an oriontation
day for teachers.
The annual Business-lCducation
Day teacher's institute will be
Sept. 9, witll a tour of the new
Washington Cerrecgions Center,
completed this sunmler, the pro-
g]'am for this year.

Thursday.
Robert Quiggle, sut)erintendent
of the Shelton School District, said
this schedolc had been adopted by
the Shelton District.
COUNTY Superintendent J. W.
Goodpitstcr sltid he h{td conferred
with tho rnral schools wilie]l Solld
high school students to Shelton
ltigh School, and tilat liloy will
all follow tile same schcdulo.
All districts ill tlle cmully ex-
cept Mary M. Knight, Norlh Ma-
son and Tahuya will start school
witit this schedule,
Classes in the Mary M. l(night
District will start Sept. 1 with
Leacher;~ reporting August 31 for
~tll oricntation day.
Classos in tltc North Mason Dis-
trict will start Sept. 9 witll a
works]lop day for teachers sched-
uled for Sept. 8. The Tahuya Dis-
trict follows the same schedule as
the North Mason Di trlct.
sonic econ()nlies of an anlbu]ance
servioo include :
1-. Initial investment in a service
as roquired by this area can easily
go as high as $10,000 and per-
hops subslantially more, depending
upon the amount of equipment
when really 1)roper equipment is
llsed.
) r
2.--t ast years' experienee sho~ s
an "~verage of approximately 300
calls a year with charges averag-
ing somewhere. In tho vicinity ot
$25 per call, inchlding long dis-
~allco trips such as to Taconla a,nd
Seattle, Hoveever many of the
billings, for olle reason or an-
olile, r, aro never paid.
3-.-A driver and attendant are
requirod on eacit trip, and as the
service nlusL bo maintained 2,1
holll'S tl day, seven days a. week,
simple mathenmties show that
payment of wages and maintain-
ance of equipn]ont exceeds the ex-
peeled income.
l:~ecatlsc of advorse eeononlics ol
~tll a3nl)tlh~t~ce Ol.)Cl'alion) tllO conl-
inittc's report advised that a vol-
unteer corps would have to be
maintained for either l~ospiLai,
county, er city operation of the
service, or a subsidy to a private
operator would be necessary to
insure thc high calibre setwice de-
an'red by rc idcnt of tl ¢ area.
On the basis of the report, the
Chsmber of Conlnlorce secureo
firm eommittn~onts of contribu-
tions totaling $:}50 a nlonth.
Contributors stated they could
not each contribute directly to all
ambulance operator but could con-
tribute only to a non-profit associ-
ation that could assure them ot
propel- service and which would in
turn then pay over all contributed
funds am a subsidy to a privately
operated service. The duties of the
association, they specified, would
be to investigate ambulance op-
erations in general and from find-
ings tare such steps as would be
necessary to safeguard the intm'-
csts of residents of the arcs and
assure the best possible contin-
ual service. The' Board of Direc-
tors of the chsmber then requested
the City Affairs Committee to
formulate StlCh &n association, to
be kno%vn as the Shelton Area
Ambulance Association, w h o s e
nlembers would serve without com-
pensation.
AFTER SEEKING advise from
many sources and learning of ex-
perienees of other communities, it
soon became spparent to the group
that amlmlance ordinance pat-
terned upon others ill existance
elsewhere should be recommended
to the City Con]mission in order
to fulfill requirements of the con-
tributors and the colmmmity.
A group of ordinances w~ts ob-
tained and given to the City Cmn-
mission for consideration.' After
considerable study an ordinance
pattm~ed after that of the City ot
Yakima was finally deemed most
proper and is now being officially
considered by the City Commis-
sion.
Concurrent with it's investiga-
tions into ambulance operation i~
general, tile group requested Phil
Murphy, Secretary of tile Chamber
of Con'mlerce, to attempt to locate
potential operators, and applica-
tions by prospectivo owner-oper-
ators for a iiceused service that
will qualify for payment of the
subsidy are being taken.

Planning Auclion
The Exceptional Fercstei',s are
phtnning all' auction ill Octobel',
it was announced this week.
This will be the second annual
:auction Tire auction will be used
as a. fund-raising project.
'rhe group asks that local resi-
dents keep am action in mind and
start aving arttcle it.
tile proposal wouhl bo certified for
the ballot in Novenli~er.
If voters approve the proposal
to from a hospilal district, subsc-
quent actions at a spo.cial oloctiou
~,(mld include the election ef corn-
missioners lo govorn the district
(much like port districts l and vof
ing on a $314 million bond issue
to assist in financing construction
of. a new hospital.
I)ECISION TO at.temp~ to solve
the hospital situation hy forma-
lion of a Imspital distriol was
made after Dr. Allen Orler, pro-
fessional consultant with thc Na-
tional Fund Raising Selvice. made
a re-evahmtion early this mont.]t
of a. study hi:~ o)'Kanizatien ha4
complei.ed tin'co years ago on tho
best nleans of financino" ~ new
Community hospital here.
After conferring with many in-
dividuals singly and in groups, Dr.
Orler follnd an ovel~qleinling el)in-
ion in favor of fiuancing through
fomnation of a llospital district
ra, ther than by ¢ionathms.
"Although lids n]eth(wl is not
what many of them w(mht per-
sonalty prefer, they set,reed agreed
that it ix tile only feasible means."
Dr. Orler said. Dr. Orler reported
his findings to the joint board,-; of
directors of the Clinic Hospital
and the Shclton General Hospital
at a meeting held Aug. 3.
At. a subsequent nteeling of the
Shelton General Hospital board,
the boalxt decided to sponsor for-
motion of a hospital disl.rtct.
STUDIES previousl,~ complet,'d
have sho~* this conummity needs
a 50-bed modern hospital which
would cost approximately $1 ~.~
million to construct. Of tiffs smu
Hill-Burton federal funds woutd
provide about $Vz nlillion, The ro-
mabling $31,t million would have
to be raised by tbe conlnltlnily,
either tln-ough donations or taxa-
tion.
Raising that amount by public
contributions '~.ppears highly un-
likely, Dr. Orler's studies indi'(',al, od,
hence the deci,'~ion to ask tile pllb-
lie for a.pprOval nf the forntation
of a hospital district. Tiffs would
permit goneral obltgalion bends to
be sold, if the. district receives
public approval at tho November
election.
The need for getting ihe pro-
posal to form the hospital distriot
before the voters this November
is pressing because by law auth-
orily to form hospital "districts can
only be voted at general olections.
;Th(m, if the nlatter is not placed
on the ballot this year it would
of necessity have to wait until
1966.
The COllnty comulissioncrs and
other county officials pledged tlleir
full cooperation in expedi[ing tho
:necessary leg,tl steps required to
get tile proposa on tile ~X4OVCUlbOr
