KWG Girl Attends Groundbreaking By JANICE WITTENBERG Over this past weeknd 1 experienced a new aspect of a Keep Washington Green representative. Su,day I attended the Wynoochee Dam groundbreaking ceremonies. My part in the ceremony was to present to the Rep. Julia Butler Hansen a dozen red roses from the Keep Washington Green Association. This was to me an experience in itself, for it gave me an opportunity to become acquainted with the many and varied people involved in what I imagined to be a relatively small ceremony. Since 1925 the city of Aberdeen has been investigating the possibilities for increasing their rnunicipal water supply. Over lhe years studies and reports have resulted from Aberdeen's request. In 1959 full scale studies were initiated by the Army Corps of Engineers to investigate development of the water resources of the Wynoochee River considering the aspects of flood control, power, water supply, irrigation, fisheries, and recreation. In the years following this the City Council of Aberdeen passed a resolution requesting water supply storage and agreed to repay the Federal Government for the cost of storage. Next, Congress had to authorize the project, site selection studies had to be made, and a construction contract had to be awarded. Finally, in August 1969 the Wynoochee Dam construction will begin. The dam will provide uninterrupted water supply for the (;rays Harbor area by controlling and releasing the high river flows of winter and spring. This will allow a total WW Fair Attracts Many 4-H Entries More than 2,000 4-11 nmmbers from throughout lhc state will be shooting for big prizes when they go into competition during the week of September 13-21 at the 66th edition of the Western Washington Fair at Puyallup. State winners in 10 categories of 4-11 endeavors will win expense-paid trips to the National 4-ll Cougress in Chicago.

The results of the St:raw Ballot showed Mason County in the plus column for a state income tax but more people approved the graduated tax than the flat rate. Gow Dan Evans was rated a very satisfaclory governor but President Richard Nixon's proposed welfare program received the most votes. Only 23 people signified they were against it.

Shirley Vonhof, hospitality chairulan of the local Republican Women's Club, was awarded the elephant, which had been donated by Mac Winiecki. senior counterparts, they will be very much in attendance. More counties also expect to send top winners to the state fair this year. Nearly 1,800 exhibits by all 4-H'ers ranging in age from 9 to 19 will fill the 4-11 building. This year, for the first time, 4-11 will have the entire building for its use. lloney and beekeeping that has shared a part of the cornplex will no longer be a part of the display. A new demonstration stage and a new area for clothing activity will be ready by fair time as well as the traditional meal preparalion kitchens and judging contest areas. The State 4-It Fair continues to be the high point of the project year for the 4-H'ers involved. Emphasis on the event seems to be growing since its inclusion in what is the state's htrgest fair. Although the It) who will be chosen fl)r Chicago Irips will be winners in such things as atttomotive, electric projects, entomology, safety, petroleum power, bread baking, dress review, food preservation, home improvement, and foods and nutrition, there wilt be the more traditional aspects of 4-H activity as well. Youngsters with livestock diversion of nearly 200 million gallons per day with sufficient year-round river flow to enhance fisheries and provide more irrigation water for farm lands in the Wynoochee Valley. Our job as Keep Washington Green supporters will be increased as new public recreation facilities will be opened upon completion of the dam in 1972. The Wynoochee Reservoir Project is located within the Olympic National Forest which is administered by the U.S. Forest Service. It is being constructed 52 miles upstream from the mouth of the Wynoochee River. The U.S. Forest Service will provide public recreation facilities adjacent to the reservoir shore and at nearby locations. The areas will be developed in a manner that will provide a variety of recreational experiences. Coho Campground will be designed to meet the needs of the mobile traveler with ample space for t railers. Moolluk Campground will be developed for tile traveler who wishes to camp ill an atmosphere of solitude but with limited conveniences provided. Scattered about the reservoir will be a number of campsites for the recreationist who wishes to hike to his camp and test his outdoor skills. So in only a few years we will have another beautiful recreation area at our fingertips that will provide campgrounds, swimming areas, picnic areas, boat launching ramps, vista points and trails for hiking and riding. Our fire report for the past week wasn't too encouraging but the showers lately should help out our cause. The Arcadia Fire Department responded to a call Saturday to squelch a brush fire that got away, but was later controlled. The Department of Natural Resources put out a grass fire at Dayton that burned one-half acre. They fought a large snag fire at Happy tlollow on the Canal and were called to put out three small fires two were at John's Prairie and the other at Kamilche Point. August 19 they were called to battle a blaze at the Hoodsport Dunlp which jumped its bounds and burned between 15 to 20 acres. Aug. 20 the Department put out a fire in a large cedar snag at Price's Lake in the Cushman country. will be very much in evidence With at least another full during the first half of the show month of fire dan-or ahead we and Iien the latter part of the ' ; ,.
