$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

Scout Meet At

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

made, the bonding capacity of the
district was limited by law so that
it would have been impossible to
finance a new four-year high
school.
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.

Harry Clark Had FeStival Idea
father of the Forest ':life.
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
