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

Washington Fair at Puyallup.

The Republican booth at the
Mason County |;air was the proud
recipient of a Special Award
ribbon this year. Anita ttall, vice
chairman of tire Republican
Central Committee and her hard
working "helpers" added this
"first" to their list of
accomplish rneltl s.
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. I.aw and Order seems to be
considered the most important
problem facing the nation with

Women's Club, was awarded the

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.
