Since that time, in- creased costs have raised the cost. so now it is necessary to ask foi a bond issue of $780,000. Views expressed on the bridge bond .issue by six of the seven candidates for county commission- er when they spoke to the Shelton Kiwanis meeting Tuesday ranged from full support to opposition. Incumbent Democrat Martin Auseth said that the condition of the present ferry was not good. The time is coming closer when something will have to be done. It is a question of how long the policy of "patches on top of pat- ches" on the ferry can continue. The commission intends to put a toll on the bridge, Auseth said, but this was not included in the Most Shelton businesses and government offices will be closed Monday in observation of Labor Day. All city, county, state and fed- eral govel~ment offices will be closed. Most businesses except those which are normally open on Sun- days and holidays will be closed. The Post Office will have its us.. ual holiday mail schedule with no city or rural delivery. Mail will arrive at the Post Office and will be sent out and will be distributed to Post Office boxes. THE POST OFFICE lobby will be open as long as there is an employee ill the back, so patrons will be able to get to their Post Office boxes during most of the day.

Auscth ~'.:hid tile cost of retiring the bonds for the bridge would be about two mills. Also :~upporting the m'idge bond proposal was incumi~ent Harry Elmhmd from District 2 who said the ferry system was a thing of the past. The county cannot allow the ferry operation to drain some $20,000 a year from county funds, he said. Opposing the bridge bond issue ¢,as William DeMiero, who is op- posing Elmlund for the Deinocrat- ic nomination from di,~trict two. DeMiero said he (lid not believe it would be good business to build a bridge to Harstine Island at this time. Robert Reed, Republican candi- date for the District two commis- sion post, stated he would have to give the matter more study, but, said that building the bridge would open up valuable land to taxes He also said that he didn't believe the county could continue to brace up a system which was not work- ing. Gordon Stolze, candidate for Democratic nomination from Dist- rict two, said he thought that if it was planned to make the bridge a toll bridge this should have been included in the proposal submitted to the voters. He said he would have to look into the proposal further, but, that it was up to the voters and that he would abide by their decision.

Note: The writer of the a, rtlele does tl0t claim to i~, an authority on the Southenz racial issue, hut gathered the following maierlal while talking with ~nd observinff residents of :.he South while ou a recent trtp. The auth- or spent a, week recently in Mis- sissippi and Louislant~). ,By DENNY HINTON "When these types of people come up North they call them agi- tators, b~it When they come down here they call them missionaries". This was the view ~flected by a white Hattiesburg, Miss., insur- ance agent concerning the "hood- lures" or "freedom dentonstrators" wile have been the recent sub- jects of much pub!Jetty in the South. "THE WHOLE thing (issue) has been blown out of proportion by the news media and people un- familiar with the situation those of the North have gotten the \vrong idea", hc said. The insurance man cited an ex- ample of how th~s can happen. "I was a.~ked to e~ort several men from Hollywood, Calif., around towel (Hattieaburg). They said they planned to take films of the way the Negros liw. in the South and I agreed to show them the city (population 38,000). "I noticed that the men were taking pictures mostly of aband- oned Negro homes, many of which hadn't been lived in for years. I explained that these shacks were not inhabii.ed by anyone an~nore, but tI~ese buildings were still the subject of most of their pictures. "I told them to eitller take pic- tures of the way the Negros a.e- tually lived or gel out of my cat"'. Tl~ey got. out", the man said. AND ~Vl~I,a,T about the big race mmkus that. is going on presently? What's behind it and who is in- v0tved ? It was the opinion of this same Hattiesburg resident that "most of the 'demonstrators' were hood- lums and shipped-in troublenlak- ers. Many arc also taking advan- tage of the situation to catlsc some tro:lblc." "I wonder if these civil rights workel~ who come dowi~ here fronx the North really understand their purpose?" I think not, he said. "They come dox~m l~ere and at- tempt to do something about ~t sittla.tion of which they have little understanding." In Hattiesburg, where there has been little racial st~fe, "we don't pay much attention to the civil rights workers," he said. NEXT WE toured the City, in- ,~ugling the colored section of town. There were some "shacks" in the predominately colored sec- tion, but most were unintlabited. I evidenced mostly small moder- ate homes in the residenlial dis- trict with a few small fix-it shops and soft drink and grocery stores with several relatively new look- ing schools. It was explained that thcse had been segregated N'egro schools in the past "And most of the people, both white and black, want it that way," the man opined referring to the segregation. Although we were two of the few seemingly white people mo- toring througll the Negro section, there appeared to be no antagon- ism against us and most didn't give us a second lo(~k. And what does a Southerner hold for the future in relation to more rioting and racial trouble? "Just ~ou wait, you'll l)rohably have the '~,,alne troublemakers cans. ing a fuss up Nortll pretty soon," he said.
