At that time, the bond issue was
for $720,000. 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.
The County Commission meet-
ing, normally held on Monday will
be on Tuesday, from 10 a.m. to 4
p.m. instead.
The Journal will be closed Mon-
day, so anything which normally
comes in on Monday should bc in
Friday.
propo,~¢al submitled to tile voters
on recommendation of the bond-
ing attorneys. 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.

,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.
