To coincide with the current season, Shelton Public Library will present a special program on wild mushrooms of the area on Wednesday evening at 8 p.m. Color slides of mushrooms will be shown with an introduction to the many different types of mushrooms found in the area how, when and where they grow. A question and answer period will follow. Mushrooms may be wrapped in wax paper and brought to the program. Specimens are always welcome. Presenting this special program will be Dr-. Alan Maxwell Much and his wife Carolyn, traveling mycologists, who are in the Puget Sound area temporarily while doing field research and teaching courses on mushroom identification at local colleges. They travel continually, following the mushrooms, teaching, doing research, photographing, and presenting educational programs on all aspects of mushrooms. "Mushrooms are an important food," declares Dr. Much, "because they are delicious, nutritious, low in calories, and free! Different species of mushrooms have different flavors and textures. "Positive identification is, of course, essential," he adds emphatically. "No one should eat any wild growing mushroom or green plant unless he is absolutely sure of its identification. Only about one percent of mushrooms is dangerously poisonous - and that's about the same percentage of poisonous green plants. Some berries are poisonous too, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't enjoy the delicious ones." Europeans and Orientals eat three to four times as many mushrooms per person as Americans do. While only one species of mushroom is grown commercially in this country; several hundred delicious edibles are available in the wild. In the parks, forests, or on the front lawn, one can learn to distinguish the delicious from the deadly.

Pacific Northwest Bell is building a new plant operating center in the Kneeland Center north of Shelton, according to PNB manager Jack Doyle. The contract to construct the new facility is Lincoln Construction Company of Spanaway at $177,890. The new building will be used by PNB's Shelton area installation and repair crews. It will have a 24-vehicle capacity. The building is being constructed of pre-cast concrete and contains three crew rooms and two supply rooms.
