SIMPSON RECUPERATING City finance commissioner Joe Simpson, owner and operator of the Lawton Lumber Company, re- turned home Sunday a week ahead of schedule to continue his excellent recuperation from a ma- jor stomach operation performed at Swedish hospital in Seattle on September 5. He had originally been sched- tded to spend two weels in the hospital but was recovering so nicely at the end of the first week that he was released to his home. He expects to return to his du- ties at the hunber company by short installments. ! € * * NEW DISTRIBUTORS FOR UNION OIL Bill Besch and Glenn Roessel have become the new Union ell distributors in Mason County, succeeding Joe Hansen, who has been the distributor over the past i four years.

Baptists Slate .... :Teenage Movie "Teen-Age Rock" is an exciting, sensational but .true story told in the color film scheduled at the Shelton Baptist church Friday evening, according to word re- ceived from Gorda McLean, Youth Leader in Tacoma. Frank Fetters, teen-age star of the fihn will be present in person for this picture presentation. Mc- Lean schedules interesting weekly programs/every Saturday evening in the city of Tacoma and has of- fered to sponsor this program in Shelton with the cooperation and tlse of the lapt.tst church ltudl- t0rium. Thi s program is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Friday evening, Sept. 18 at the church located at 5th and Cota. Local Ministers Plan Tues. Meet. The Mason county ministerial association will meet next Tues- day morning at I0 a.m. in the Baptist church. This will be the first fall' meeting and the first meeting for several df the new pastors in the city. About 15 pastors of the county belong to the group and others are invited who a interested in plan, sing programs and sharing in the spiritual life of the community. Officers for the coming season are Rev. E. C. Knautz, president; Rev. Mason Youngland, vice pres- kient; and Rev. Eugene Bried, sec. ALDERBROOK IN:N DINING DESIGNED FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE Yason County. We must try to see the other side of any picture if we are to be fail' in our decisions, but while I feel that anyone who puts up a strongly felt argument on ay subject thinks that he is right arid is slncere, usually, I cannot follow the thinking in this case. Yes, anyone who lives in Shel- ton or on the outskirts can go to her library and does not need the Bookmobile probably. Mason County, on the other hand, is a large and widely spread area. Probably the majority of its pop- ulation does not visit Shelton once a month, leave alone once every week or two. Is Shelton  Christ- mastown, U.S.A. -- behind this? If she is it would seem to me no asset to her name to have this kind of blot upon it. If those of you who wish to discontinue the Bookmobile services would ride around 'the outer edges of your county and find out what those who 'need and appreciate this service think you ..might change your opinions, for I am sure that l you have Just not given it enough over-all thinking. Surely, ih this age of speed and specialized eveTthing, we need to, know all we are capable of learn- ing. We haven!t the time to learn very much as it is. If we would take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to fir, d out: almost anything we wish to know merely by requesting reading matter on rangements for the date in coop- eration with the president, John Stentz. President Stentz has for the past year talked about the wonderful fishing trip o[ last year until 'about 33 men were willing to take the day off and enjoy the trip. A bus was chartered to take the men to the fishing grounds leav- ing Shelton at 5 a.m. last Satur- day and arriving back at 7 p.m. weary but happy. A trophy was awarded Bob Def- finbaugh for the largest king sal- mon caught and to Bernie Dorcy for the largest oliver caught. Both men received a beautifully inscrib- ed trophy with a mounted fish and the identification of the award. Other men had rare experiences to tell like John Cole, St. who al- most landed a larger king salmon than Deffinbaugh but after sev- eral times around the boat the leader came untied and a beautiful fish was lost. Also Harry New; man caught a large shark but had to let it go also. Plans are being made for an- other trip next fall already. Next Sunday morning at the meeting place, P.U.D. auditoriu at 3rd and Cota, the guest speal¢- er wiI1 be Chaplain Leinuel D: Md- Elyea, senior chaplain at the Mili- tary Air Transport command at McChord field. Everyone interest- ed in the programs and fellowship the subject we could broaden our for men are invited to be present view in all directions.

Per- haps the TV might get a rest. Stnly this county is not going into a financial tailspin! Talk on other subjects points up the high eb.rnings of Mason County work- ing people. The richness of thee county is well knowp; and her taxes .should adequately support not only one BookmObile but in the ft/ttre '. (if things go as they have begun) two or three! We would like to get something be- sides narrow roads, holey black. top and tow voltage electricity for those tax dollars. The Bookmobile is a step in the right direction and I for one will be ashamed of those who cause its discontinuance if that happens. I cannot believe that we will loe this fine service with its highly trained personnel. It is a service for everyone, no matter who or what age they are. It can be so immeasureabli help- ful to anyone who will use it that it seems astounding that anyone should have to say anythin.g in its behalf; like saying we thtnb the electric light is a fire thing and more people should get to know how to use it! So the merger will cost Mason County more. So we are willing to pay for it. We don't mind pay- lng for something that isvaluable to us and that is costly only inas- much as we neg|ect to ge.t out of it what' we can if we only want to. Traveling over some of the roads in Mason County probably makes the upkeep more expensive, too, as some of us can testify to, If the proposed petition against the Bookmobile gets man signatures it will be a th(ghtless tern so persons interested in par- ticular subjects are urged to make their wishes known and if enough individuals are interested classes will be arranged in almost any subject. Principal George Hermes sug- gests that snch interest be put on record by'calling the senior high school office. The phone number is HA 6-8261. gesture and one completely at variance with the finest progress of our county in my opinion. If self-betterment by reading or just reading PERIOD is considered un- necessary (although you ARE reading to find out what this says!) .... try to think of the chin dren, of the sick and handicapped and the old people who cannot drive forty miles for a book.

Next Sunday morning at the meeting place, P.U.D. auditoriu at 3rd and Cota, the guest speal¢- er wiI1 be Chaplain Leinuel D: Md- Elyea, senior chaplain at the Mili- tary Air Transport command at McChord field.

Per- haps the TV might get a rest. Stnly this county is not going into a financial tailspin! Talk on other subjects points up the high eb.rnings of Mason County work- ing people. The richness of thee county is well knowp; and her taxes .should adequately support not only one BookmObile but in the ft/ttre '. (if things go as they have begun) two or three! We would like to get something be- sides narrow roads, holey black. top and tow voltage electricity for those tax dollars. The Bookmobile is a step in the right direction and I for one will be ashamed of those who cause its discontinuance if that happens. I cannot believe that we will loe this fine service with its highly trained personnel. It is a service for everyone, no matter who or what age they are. It can be so immeasureabli help- ful to anyone who will use it that it seems astounding that anyone should have to say anythin.g in its behalf; like saying we thtnb the electric light is a fire thing and more people should get to know how to use it! So the merger will cost Mason County more. So we are willing to pay for it. We don't mind pay- lng for something that isvaluable to us and that is costly only inas- much as we neg|ect to ge.t out of it what' we can if we only want to. Traveling over some of the roads in Mason County probably makes the upkeep more expensive, too, as some of us can testify to, If the proposed petition against the Bookmobile gets man signatures it will be a th(ghtless tern so persons interested in par- ticular subjects are urged to make their wishes known and if enough individuals are interested classes will be arranged in almost any subject. Principal George Hermes sug- gests that snch interest be put on record by'calling the senior high school office. The phone number is HA 6-8261. gesture and one completely at variance with the finest progress of our county in my opinion. If self-betterment by reading or just reading PERIOD is considered un- necessary (although you ARE reading to find out what this says!) .... try to think of the chin dren, of the sick and handicapped and the old people who cannot drive forty miles for a book.
