Enrollment in
Schools High,
Bus Purchased
The city schools are packed
with more children than were
enrolled in any previous year.
The school board in district
309 Tuesday night ordered a
new school bus and made
plans to start some kinder-
garten classes at the new
Evergreen Grade School.
HOMER TAYLOR, assistant su-
perintendent of schools, said that
all buses carrying pupils to classes
in Shelton were well filled and
that the new bus Was needed to
ease the load. Delivery on the
i 58-passenger Ford bus is expected
in about 60 days.
i Although the Evergreen Grade
I School at Ninth and Cedar streets
won't be completed until late in
October, some of the city's kinder-
garten pupils will be starting
classes there next Week.
SUPERINTENDENT of con-
struction, Frank Sutherlin, is pre-
paring two or three rooms for the
youngsters. Notices will be sent
to parents telling the date on
which classes wll be opened there,
said Rudy Oltman, superintendent
of schools.
Enrollment in all schools in
Shelton after the first week of
classes was set at 2,075, compared
with the 1948's previous record of
1,982 students, figures at the su-
pertntendent's office showed Wed-
nesday.
For the elementary schools there
are 1,101 this year, which is an
increase of 54 students over 1948's
total of 1,047. In the senior high
school 444 are enrolled, and last
year there were 435.
THE FIRST WEEK of school
was an intensely busy one for
teachers and pupils. In the junior
and senior high schools the stu-
dents have been getting class and
extracurricular groups organized.
Junior high students have re-
celve.d new lockers this fall, and
the pupils have been puzzling over
tricky lock combinations.
STEPS TAKEN TO
STOP BUS SABOTAGE
AT BELFAIR SCHOOL
Following the disclosure last
week that someone had been tam-
pering WRh the Belfair school
buses, the school boarff moved to
provide a special guard. A group
of citizens offered a reward of
$50 for information leading to
the arrest and conviction of any
person found sabotaging the bus-
es.
J. D. Walker, principal of the
school, reported that brakes on
one bus were tampered with, elec-
tric wiring was ripped loose on
another, and foreign matter was
found in the oil supply of a third.
Those offering the reward were
Harold Staley, William Forsythe,
Douglas Lince, Lawrence Adair,
Bob Bead and John Simmons.
Entered as second class matter at the post office
at Shelton. Wash., under Act of March 3, 1879. SHELTON, WASHINGTON, Thursday, September 15, 1949.
Early Frost
Nips Garden
Crops Here
A cold front rolling eastward
over the Pacific Northwest Mon-
day caused a temperature drop in
Mason county that frosted up the
countryside, doing considerable
damage to gardens.
In Shelton the thermometer
fluid skidded to 31 degrees Mon-
day night, while the high point
was 79 degrees in the afternoon, it
was shown in a report from the
weather station at Rayonier Incor-
porated.
Traveling about the county
Monday in search of prize produce
for the Puyallup Fair, Andrew
' Kruiswyk, Jr., county agent, noted
that gardens were damaged se-
verely in many scattered areas.
f "Some of the produce hardest
nipped included beans, squash,
corn, pumpkins and green pep-
pers," Kruiswyk said. The frost
reached from the Belfair area, Ta-
huya, Agate, Matlock, Shelton
Valley and Skokomish Valley.

Jaycee groups, locally and na-
tionally.

said, "promote personal develop-
