$3.1 Million Bond Issue On Nov. Ballot (Continued from Page One.) school districts in the state who have students from surrounding non-high districts in that the non-high districts which are served by the Sheiton district have a total assessed valuation which is a little higher than the Shelton District's. While participation from the non-high districts is anticipated, the bond issue being put before the Shelton District voters is for the total estimated cost of the project in addition to state aid. This is to assure that the project will be completed if the bond issue and the state aid are both approved. The amount of participation from non-high districts would result in a reduction of the amount of bonds the Shelton district would sell to pay for the project.   1'he School Board stated that -.. - the vote would be for authorization for the sale of $3,119,000 in bonds but, if less than this alllount was needed, this would be the amotmt which was .!::,: sold. The proposed bond issue would provide money for the final step of a school building plan which VICKI KIMBEL, left, poses with her 4-t4 leader, Mrs. James Haines, with the award Vicki was presented at the State 4-H Fair recently as the top clothing judge in the competition there.

Scout Meet At Pioneer School Boys of Cub Scout age and their parents from the Agate and Pioneer areas will meet at Pioneer School at 7:30 p.m. tonight fora School Night for Scouting, The purpose of the meeting is to mcct new boys and parents who are interested in joining the was started three years ago. The first step was the construction of the 10-room building at Bordeaux School, which is now completed and in use and the purchase of a 40-acre site off Spring Road from Simpson Timber Co. The second part of the proposal was for four new classrooms at Mt. View Elementary School, which are now under construction. A proposal for the construction of athletic facilities on the Spring Road site was defeated by the voters last fall. The third step in the building program was tile construction of a new school building on the Spring Road site. The original plan had been for the construction of a middle school which would have then been converted to a high school when additional finances were available. This part of the plan was changed after the State Legislature, at its last session, voted new laws on the bonding capacity of school districts so that White Swan, m the race for first ('ub Scout pack. it is now possible to finance the in foods, l)i3nc Steinhoff, Eig]t and nine year 01d boys construction of the high school Tacoma, a,Ati ,LKaren :Statea, are¢ligtiat'n yeat;*ot@'OTs whicl.w,.t.he ultimate'goal of ,. laymond, ti.hd in a: t]"  art; cli(gleforWlos.

The plan is, if the new high school is built, to have it house grades 9-12. The present Junior High School building would probably be demolished and the Reed Building would be converted to use as offices, storage space and the cafeteria. The junior high school would then be moved into the Angle building which presently houses the high school and some junior high classes. Grinnell told the board that if the bond issue is approved in November, it would probably take two years for the completion of the proposed new high school, one year for planning and one year for construction.

World War 2 was still raging in 1944 when ltarry Clark, who had become a Mason County resident only two years earlier upon his appointment as assistant district forest marshal for the State Department of Forestry (now Department of Natural Resources), broached the idea of the forest festival at a Shelton Harry Clark The Festival is dead. Declining health complicated by five strokes in the past couple of years claimed the life in Tacoma, Sept. 13, of Harry Clark, who more than 25 years ago conceived the idea of Mason County's unique community tribute to the trees he loved and worked with most of his adult Commercial Club (now Chamber of Commerce) meeting. Skeptism over means of financing the project caused a cautious reception to the otherwise highly approved idea, but Clark refused to be discouraged, and his approach to American Legion Post 31 was met with encouragement and a pledge of support when he suggested a feasible financial plan for his estimated $1,200 cost of production. Clark personally then procurred $900 in pledges from various firms and individuals in forest products affiliations. The Simpson Logging Company assured success by underwriting the balance when approached by the late Rudy Werberger, who then was president of the Commercial Club and became first forest festival president. For the first couple of years the festival was sponsored by the American Legion, then the Commercial Club took it on as a project but soon thereafter the festival formed its own organization and a separate body Throughout these Clark was a key festival's success.
