Up to four passenger vehicle tires per household will also be taken. The tires must be off the rims. Those who wish to sign up for the free dump day must call the solid-waste facility at 427-5271 before October 1. The reason for this cutoff date is so the county can gauge how many containers will be needed for shipping the waste out of the county, according to Toni Clement, Mason County and city of Shelton recycling co- ordinator. When residents call, they will be given a time slot for bringing the waste into the Eells Hill facility. Those who take advantage of this opportunity are asked to bring a nonperishable food item for the four local food banks. The community development department will also hold a fall cleanup program from Septem- ber 27 to October 8 at the Belfair Transfer Station, 1611 Sand Hill Road. Materials which will be accepted there free of charge in- clude brush and branches, leaves and grass clippings, fencing and old lawn furniture. Resi- dents in North Mason can call 275-6462 to sign up. To find the site, participants from South Mason can travel State Route 3 north, turn right on the Grapeview Loop Road and in- stead of turning left at the fire hall, proceed across the bridge to the island. To reach the museum, take the first right on the island and look for the sign. Those who want more specific details can call Howard at the museum at 426- 1020. Although there is no charge for the museum tour, donations are accepted to help with its upkeep. UPCOMING EVENTS for the historical society include the fol- lowing, Howard noted: • A Shelton-Mason County Sports Hall of Fame meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. September 19 at the historical museum at Fifth and Railroad downtown. • The Shelton Historic Preser- vation Board will meet at 7 p.m. September 22 at the museum downtown. • The historical society's board of directors will meet at 7:30 p.m. September 30 at the museum. • The historical society will staff the museum during Oyster- Fest from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Octo- ber 2 and 3 at the Mason County Fairgrounds. Volunteers are needed for that event, Howard noted. Those who would like to help can contact her at the num- ber listed above.

Because of the application of wood preservative necessary to keep the installation free of rot and insect damage, the play- ground will be closed today and Friday, says Shelton Parks and Recreation Director Mark Ziegler. "The playground," he ex- plained, "needs annual main- tenance to insure that it is in good condition for many years. The sealer slows and inhibits the natural checking and cracking of the lumber as it ages, and guards against fungus and mildew." Such maintenance, he said, "must take place when the wood is dry and the weather is still warm." Visitors to Bill Somers' museum with the historical society will learn more about maritime transportation through photos and artifacts, punctuated by the toots and whistles of a bygone era.
