'BRIDGE OF StlIPS' TO
IIAIU|'STENE SUGGIt~STED
Editor, The Journal:
I would like to present some in-
formation in support of an idea
for an inexpensive, but highly un-
ique bridge across Piekering Pas-
sage to Hartstene Island.
It would be a "pontoon" bridge
using surplus Liberty ships which
are available for about $48,000
each. You might be able to get a
batch of five for considerably less
unit price.
I talked today to Gus Miller
(acting area representative while
Capt. E. E. Thorne i~on leave) of
lhe U:S. Department of Commerce,
Maritime Administration, Pacific
Coast District, 311 Alaska Bldg.,
Second & Cherry, Seattle, and re-
ceived much encouragement.
He said that surplus Liberty
ships are being sold now under
Condition No. 1, which means for
"non-transportation" p u r p o s e s.
Under Condition No. 1, some ships
have been towed to Alaska, for
instance, for use are warehonses,
wharfs and breakwaters. The an-
choring of ships for use as pon-
toons in a bridge satisfies condi-
tions of Condition No. 1.
Several of these ships could be
anchored broadside to the Picker-
ing Passage shore, in a line from
the mainland to Hartstene. Mr.
:Miller said that wheh these ships
are "scrapped" down to the double
lent" pontoons with tremendons
floatation. The ships nearest each
shore well could be just the dou-
Me-bottom hulls. In mid-channel
the main deks, left intact, would
support the road bed, providing
considerable height for boat clear-
ance. Between tim ships would be
spans.
This plan conceives the ships
being loeated in north-south posi-
tions with the road bed going ac-
ross, not lengthwise, to the hulls.
May I suggest the following ten-
t:atiw~ plan:
(ll With the joint support of
the Chamber of Commerce and
the Journal, the County Commis-
sion and County Engineer should
develop an engineering study' and
plan. Precise information was
packaged to prepare the "fixed-
bridge" proposal which was de-
feated at the polls. The informa-
tion on the Pickering CJaannel
equally is useful for developing a
new-type of bridge. Visits and con-
sultations should be arranged with
U.S. Cm~ps of Engineers for ap-
proval of change in bridge plans,
and with Captain E. E. Thorne
of the U.S. Maritime Administra-
tion for precise specifications of
the surphls Liberty ships.
(2) The engineering plan and
cost estimates should be well pub-
licized, proving to the Mason
County people that the county,
as usual, never takes a fatalistic
agination, talent ' and skill, for
new and better and less expensive
ways to accomplish great things:
(3) Cooperation between the
Chamber of Commerce and the
Board of County Commissioners,
with political support and endorsc-
ment by the citizens, may lead to
acquisition of surplus Liberty ships
for considerably less than the pres-
ent average selling price ,of
$48,000.
('L) If asked, Senator Jackson
may give active support to a
Mason County plan for "floating
ship" bridge as an idea that
might be adapted to other areas.
(b) A delegation of two or
three persons representing the
board of County Commissioners
and the Chamber of Commerce
could present a strong case for
"bargain prices" in a trip to
Washington, D.C., where sales
transactions take place on sur-
plus ships stored on the West
Coast.
(4) If,, very conceivably, the en-
tire "floating-ship" pontoon bridge
can be installed complete for con-
siderably iess than $780,000, I'm
sure the taxpayers would be hap-
py to approve the necessary fin-
ancing.
(5) This whole process may take
a year or longer, but I think it
cdesetwes consideratior~; thought,
study and legwork.
For too~long, too many people
have been deluded into thinking
that a big pile of money will solve
any problem, particularly when the
big pile of money is so easily at-
tained in most instances simply
through bonds, levies or other de-
vices used to entrap taxpayers.
' " a
I'm sure the ma3onty of t x-
payers in Mason County sincerely
would like to support any reason-
bottoms the bottoms make "excel- view but always searches, with ira- able plan to provide a bridge to
Hartstene Island. I believe the
September 15 defeat of the bridge-
bond proposal was a vote not
against the bridge but in opposi-
tion to the huge indebtedness. In
spite of the big bill of $780,000,
I think everyone was greatly en-
couraged by the extent of the
"yes" votes, which prove Mason
County residents are very gener-
ous in their thinking, highly con-
siderate of the needs of other peo-
ple, and extremely civic-minded.
If such a bridge as one made
from "floating ship" pontoons is
built, it would be unique not only
in the United States but in the
world.
Sincerely yours,
Harry R. Bay

CLASS FEES COULD
LEAD TO DROP-OUTS
To The Editor:
I was amazed to find our Shel-
ton Public Schools such as Junior
High and the High School had
class fees. In the High School
there are required fees and option-
al fees.
Oddly enough the $2.25 charge
for each of the classes might dis-
courage our young people to strive
for the teachings promoted by our
Government. Biology lab, physi-
cal science lab, physics lab, and
chemistry lab. These are import-
ant basic creO~ts for higher learn-
ing that we are pushing our young
people toward.
With all the problems we en..
counter on the highways, it is too
bad that the fee for driving class
should be $10.00.

ing a specified gym suit for girls)

I,OVE THY NEIGHBOR
AND SOLVE OUR TROUBLES
Leviticus 19-18
"Thou shalt not avenge, nor
bear any grudge against the chil-
dren of thy people, but thou shall
love thy neighbor as thyself. I am
the Lord."
St. John 15-12.
"This is my commandment, that
ye love one another, as I have
loved yOU."
If we loved our neighbors as
onrselves we would not want to
hurt them, as we do not like to be
hurt.
And if we had the love of Christ
in our hearts, the compassion, the
sweetness and tenderness of Christ
love toward our fellowman, the
world would be a different place
to live in.
Envy, bitterness, quareling have
never solved any problems, and
they never will. Instead, they
cause them to pile up. The main
)art of the world's ills are lack
of love and consideration for the
other person.
We want what. they have, and
are not satisfied wilh the blessings
given ,us.
Some think all they will ever
have is what lhey have on earth.
Dear ones, don't you believe that
lie that Satan has told you. lie is
ever working to thwart the Lord,
and to cause m~belief, hatred and
confusion in the world. Believe
what is in the Bible tbat God has
told us all how to live if we will
but listen.
We need love and understand-
ing, one for another, as all have
sinned and come short of the g]pry
of God. Christ has said.

LACK OF ITNi)ERSTANI)ING
Dear Mr. Dickie:
The permanent residents on
Harstine Island, except for six
voters, wish to thank you very
much for the splendid editorials
and other publicity you gave The
Bridge Bond Issue. The many
summer residents and property
owners who vote in other areas,
likewise appreciated your efforts
in our behalf.
We have 98 registered voters on
Harstine. 76 voted for the bridge
and six against. This does not in-
clude four absentee ballots. So the
six comp(0ing the opposition on
the island made a misstatement on
the local radio dtation, when they
said, "the bridge would be built
to serve 60 families!" It is a ser-
ious matter that the issue was de-
feated, for the Island residents
and property owners to say nolh-
ing of those in business on the
Ishmd. We have three oyster
growers and one large loganberry
grower, a saw mill and logging op-
erations going on all the time.
People for the bridge through-
out Mason ComHy intend to keep
working for a Bridge to ttarstine.
It is good to know we lmve your
cooperation. The bri(tge is in(wit-
able ']nd the longer it is put off
the more it will cosL the taxpay-
C]'S.
Many voted "no" because tbey
did not understand tlm wording
on tim ballot. It was not clear
that the issue was to be a toll
bridge.
Harstine Island is a part of
Mason Counly. It is entitled to
road transportation as any other
area. A bridge would not only
serve the existing residents, bnt
all, those who in the future will
be able to live here, and commute
to their johs when a bridge is
built. In addition to serving the
residents of the island, it will be
of service to merchants and public
ntilities, such as PUD and tele-
phone compally.
A bridge to Harstine is ncedcd
to develop this large area for the
benefit of the entire county. I be-
lieve, if the w)ters realize this, and
the fact that continued use of
the ferry will cost them personal-
ly as much in taxes as the bridge,
many more would have voted for
it. It is hoped that when the issue
is again placed before the voters,
they will realize their responsibil-
ity as voters to clarify in their
minds what the issue really is, in-
stead of talcing the easy way Out
and voting "no". Voters could
easily have their questions ans-
wered by contacting any county
official. Trres
