Dear Dr. Heyns:
The "Mason County Democratic
Club in regular meeting Thursday
Oct. 15, went on record in favor
of the establishment of a State
Penal Institution in the Shelton

In view Of the closing of the
Rayonier, Inc. mill and mindful of
the fact that there are no state
institutions in this locality, this
increase in payroll would be very
beneficial to Mason County.
Sincerely yours,
