The harvest period should extend to November 1. Members of the association in- vite the public to pick grapes in their vineyards on the "you-pick- it" arrangement. Shears will be provided. Pickers are asked to bring their own containers such as boxes or baskets, which, when filled, will be weighed by the grower. A reasonable charge will be made for the grapes. To reach the commercial vine- yards, take Route 14A from either Shelton or Allyn in Mason Coun- ty. Those wlm wish to pick in the Stretch Island area, tutla off Route 14A at the road sign point- ing to Grapeview. From this junc- tion to the vineyards is about four miles. THE HARSTINE Island vine- yard area is off Route 14A about four miles on the Picketing Road. Grape pickers can either harvest on the mainland or take the coun- ty-owned ferry to vineyards on Harstine Island. At the ferry landing, schedules are posted. The ferry usually crosses Pickering Passage, a ride of about ten min- utes, every hour on the hour £rom 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Growers will have signs along the roads directing pickers to the vineyards.

If so, you are invited to a Christmas tree cul- ture tour on the Hunter's Tree Farm, October 17, from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. THE HUNTER'S Tree Farm is located about five miles, as a crow flies, northwest of Shelton in Ma- son County. To get there, travel on Route U. S. 101, north from Shelton. Four miles from the P.U.D. sub-station which stands near the northern city limits, turn west on the Califmaia Road. Con- tinue on this gravel-base, county road for about four miles to the location of the tour. Direction signs will be placed along the way. The tour will take in four Christmas tree cultural damon- strations which were started this past spring and early summer. These include: 1. A nursery growing Christ- mas trees planting stock.

Mrs. Carmen Sarkowitz of Sko- komish Valley did it this week, tinning all Z3 clues identifying Tony Fonzo as the mystery man of me 15th week of the 30-week contest. IT WAS only the second time Mrs. Sarkowitz has officially en- tered the contest, although she has kept in touch with it mglt along by finding tle clues. "Living out- of-town as we do I find it a bit difficult getting my entries in," she said Tuesday morning while picking up her check for $45 as the week's jackpot winner. Her sister, Mrs. Elmer Sytsma, won $10 in the contest back in the 8th week. It looks llke the Wh()'s Who ed- itor must get a lot cagier about this thing ii lie expects 1:o fool the contestants trom now on as al- most every entrant this week had all the clues and correctly called the mystery crmracter. AND FIVE defeats in the last six starts seems to be pretty con- vincing evidence the clue-hunters are onto all the little tricks and hiding places of the clue-concealer. Let that be warning, then, that the camouflage crew has gone to work with a vengeance this weck to out-trick the entrants. We guarantee there are some pretty sneaky ones for this 16th chapter o the intriguing contest. 1960 County Budge t To tals $28 7, 52 Z 84 Chopping off a little over $58,000 in requested 1960 bud- gets by county department heads, the Mason county board of commissioners approved a final budget for 1960 of $287,527.84 here Monday. Estimated revenues for 1960 total $292,104.96 which will give the county a surplus of $4,577.12. An increase in valuation of the county from $18,600,000 in 1958 to $20,014,- 000 in 1959 will provide an additional $7,494.33 and the transfer of TB funds of $5,207.20 to the current expense budget will give the county a total surplus of $17,278.48 in 1960. County Turns Down Speed Boat Request Barrie Stroud, secretary of the Evergreen Safety Council, ap- peared before the Mason county board of commissioners Monday asking them to include a speed boat for the Sheriff's office in their 1960 budget. STROUD TOLD the commission his group had contacted sheriffs and prosecuting attorneys in eight western Washington counties and all of them thought police boats would help control traffic on that state's waterways. The federal congress recently passed public law 85-911 which will require the identification of all power boats on federal waters af- ter April 1, 1960. Stroud added that County Pros- ecutor Byron McClanahan agreed that a speed boat would help en- force the existing ordinances now in efeet. The commission told Stroud they want a boat identification ordin- ance before they would go along with the purchase of a speed boat. Sheriff Jug' Potter asked $1200 for a boat in his 1960 budget re- quest. The final budget for 1960 as ap- F:oved by the board of commiss- ioners does not include a speed boat. GLENN CORREA, attorney for I the Ayock Land Company of Ta-I coma, who last week won thetr case for acceptance by the coun- ty of their plat near Lilliwaup, appeared before the commission for the acceptance of the plat. Commissioner Roy Mitchell told Correa, "I want to go over the whole thing with the prosecuting attorney bef(we making any move on the matter." Commissioner C. W. Strecken- bach added, "1 think another hear- ing date must be set." CORREA TOLD the commission he did nut believ that anat21er hearing whs needed. It was decided by the commiss- ion to hold a hearing on the plat November 2 at 3 p.m. County Clerk Harry Deyette asked the commissione for a tie- phone in the courtroom with a light on it so calls to his office while court was in session would not disturb proceedings. He said the installation would ('ost $10 and the monthly rental $4.10. The commission passed a motion to transfer $5207.20 from the TB fund to the current expense fund. The commission awarded a bid of $1912.54 for two snowplows to the Air-Mac Inc. Man Found Dead on Roof The body of Walter Franklin McCord, 57, was found on the roof of Miller's Tavern Wednes- day morning by Shelton police. McCord, had gone onto the roof Tuesday afternoon about 3:30 p.m. to close an air vent and ap- parently suffered a heart attack before he was able to get back down. A call from passersby reporting a man on the roof at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday sent police Sergeant Jim Santamaria and officer Mell to the scene where they discovered the death. Funeral services for MeCord are pending at the Byrne and Bat- stone Chapel. Mr. McCord was born July 6, 1902. He lived at 222 South 5th Street. Among his sur- vivors are a wife and daughter. George Fuller New JO Vice.President George Fuller of Shelton Friday was elected Washington State Ju- nior Chamber of Commerce Dis- trict Two's vice president. The action was taken at the District Two fall meeting, whh!h was hosted by the Shelton Jaycees dud Jayettes. Guests from out of town included Bill Young, state president from Pomeroy, and Don Jaeobs(m, national director, Rell- toil The district includes ShclLtm, Aberdeen, Olympia, Chehalis, Cen- trails and Winlock. THE BIG cuts were made in salnrles fr county personnel which totaled $43,470. The com- missioners turned down a tequest of the sheriff's office for $28,340 in salaries and some $10,540 for the same reasou made by the county assessor's office. Sheriff Potter had asked the county for five new deputies to keep within the 40-hour work week law passed in the last state legislature and the county assessor has requested two new field deputies. Commissioner Roy Mitchell said, "The overall picture for 1960 looks a little brighter than it did at this time last year. We are solvent and we are not making any inter- est bearing payments of any kind. We actually have a small surplus." Although most of the cuts to balance the 1960 budget we made by denying requests for san dry increases and new manpower, the county did grant a $10 raise to all courthouse employees. This budget does not include the county road department projects for 1960 or any salaxy increases for county road employees who are members of the teamsters union and probably will ask for pay in- creases. SOME MINOR adjustments in the present budget probably will be made before it becomes final. Cole Protests Capital Outlay Resolution County Treasurer Johu Cole protested the placing of capital outlay for various county depart- ments under the current expense fund by the Mason county board of commissioners Monday at tl]eir regular weekly meeting iu the courthouse. COLE TOLD the commission it is unlawful to take away the right of elected officials to make pur- chaes for their departments after authorization for the capital out- lay has been approved by them. The question came up when Cote told Lie commission he had the opportunity to use an adding machine for the next four months and pay for it out of the ].960 treasurer's budget. The commission passed tbe r- olution Monday to place all capital outlay under the current expense fund which is under their control. The commission told Cole. they were doing this in order to elim- inate the possibility of purchase by various department heads be- ing made without a chance of competing contpanies to bid. COLE MAINTAINED the law says capital outlay can only be placed under current expense in class one and two counties. Mason county is a fifth class county. Education Beard To Review Budgets The Mason county board of edu- cation will meet tonight at 7 p.m, in the office of the county super- intendent of schools in the court- house to review school distract budgets fr 1960.

Mrs. Carmen Sarkowitz of Sko- komish Valley did it this week, tinning all Z3 clues identifying Tony Fonzo as the mystery man of me 15th week of the 30-week contest. IT WAS only the second time Mrs. Sarkowitz has officially en- tered the contest, although she has kept in touch with it mglt along by finding tle clues. "Living out- of-town as we do I find it a bit difficult getting my entries in," she said Tuesday morning while picking up her check for $45 as the week's jackpot winner. Her sister, Mrs. Elmer Sytsma, won $10 in the contest back in the 8th week. It looks llke the Wh()'s Who ed- itor must get a lot cagier about this thing ii lie expects 1:o fool the contestants trom now on as al- most every entrant this week had all the clues and correctly called the mystery crmracter. AND FIVE defeats in the last six starts seems to be pretty con- vincing evidence the clue-hunters are onto all the little tricks and hiding places of the clue-concealer. Let that be warning, then, that the camouflage crew has gone to work with a vengeance this weck to out-trick the entrants. We guarantee there are some pretty sneaky ones for this 16th chapter o the intriguing contest. 1960 County Budge t To tals $28 7, 52 Z 84 Chopping off a little over $58,000 in requested 1960 bud- gets by county department heads, the Mason county board of commissioners approved a final budget for 1960 of $287,527.84 here Monday. Estimated revenues for 1960 total $292,104.96 which will give the county a surplus of $4,577.12. An increase in valuation of the county from $18,600,000 in 1958 to $20,014,- 000 in 1959 will provide an additional $7,494.33 and the transfer of TB funds of $5,207.20 to the current expense budget will give the county a total surplus of $17,278.48 in 1960. County Turns Down Speed Boat Request Barrie Stroud, secretary of the Evergreen Safety Council, ap- peared before the Mason county board of commissioners Monday asking them to include a speed boat for the Sheriff's office in their 1960 budget. STROUD TOLD the commission his group had contacted sheriffs and prosecuting attorneys in eight western Washington counties and all of them thought police boats would help control traffic on that state's waterways. The federal congress recently passed public law 85-911 which will require the identification of all power boats on federal waters af- ter April 1, 1960. Stroud added that County Pros- ecutor Byron McClanahan agreed that a speed boat would help en- force the existing ordinances now in efeet. The commission told Stroud they want a boat identification ordin- ance before they would go along with the purchase of a speed boat. Sheriff Jug' Potter asked $1200 for a boat in his 1960 budget re- quest. The final budget for 1960 as ap- F:oved by the board of commiss- ioners does not include a speed boat. GLENN CORREA, attorney for I the Ayock Land Company of Ta-I coma, who last week won thetr case for acceptance by the coun- ty of their plat near Lilliwaup, appeared before the commission for the acceptance of the plat. Commissioner Roy Mitchell told Correa, "I want to go over the whole thing with the prosecuting attorney bef(we making any move on the matter." Commissioner C. W. Strecken- bach added, "1 think another hear- ing date must be set." CORREA TOLD the commission he did nut believ that anat21er hearing whs needed. It was decided by the commiss- ion to hold a hearing on the plat November 2 at 3 p.m. County Clerk Harry Deyette asked the commissione for a tie- phone in the courtroom with a light on it so calls to his office while court was in session would not disturb proceedings. He said the installation would ('ost $10 and the monthly rental $4.10. The commission passed a motion to transfer $5207.20 from the TB fund to the current expense fund. The commission awarded a bid of $1912.54 for two snowplows to the Air-Mac Inc. Man Found Dead on Roof The body of Walter Franklin McCord, 57, was found on the roof of Miller's Tavern Wednes- day morning by Shelton police. McCord, had gone onto the roof Tuesday afternoon about 3:30 p.m. to close an air vent and ap- parently suffered a heart attack before he was able to get back down. A call from passersby reporting a man on the roof at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday sent police Sergeant Jim Santamaria and officer Mell to the scene where they discovered the death. Funeral services for MeCord are pending at the Byrne and Bat- stone Chapel. Mr. McCord was born July 6, 1902. He lived at 222 South 5th Street. Among his sur- vivors are a wife and daughter. George Fuller New JO Vice.President George Fuller of Shelton Friday was elected Washington State Ju- nior Chamber of Commerce Dis- trict Two's vice president. The action was taken at the District Two fall meeting, whh!h was hosted by the Shelton Jaycees dud Jayettes. Guests from out of town included Bill Young, state president from Pomeroy, and Don Jaeobs(m, national director, Rell- toil The district includes ShclLtm, Aberdeen, Olympia, Chehalis, Cen- trails and Winlock. THE BIG cuts were made in salnrles fr county personnel which totaled $43,470. The com- missioners turned down a tequest of the sheriff's office for $28,340 in salaries and some $10,540 for the same reasou made by the county assessor's office. Sheriff Potter had asked the county for five new deputies to keep within the 40-hour work week law passed in the last state legislature and the county assessor has requested two new field deputies. Commissioner Roy Mitchell said, "The overall picture for 1960 looks a little brighter than it did at this time last year. We are solvent and we are not making any inter- est bearing payments of any kind. We actually have a small surplus." Although most of the cuts to balance the 1960 budget we made by denying requests for san dry increases and new manpower, the county did grant a $10 raise to all courthouse employees. This budget does not include the county road department projects for 1960 or any salaxy increases for county road employees who are members of the teamsters union and probably will ask for pay in- creases. SOME MINOR adjustments in the present budget probably will be made before it becomes final. Cole Protests Capital Outlay Resolution County Treasurer Johu Cole protested the placing of capital outlay for various county depart- ments under the current expense fund by the Mason county board of commissioners Monday at tl]eir regular weekly meeting iu the courthouse. COLE TOLD the commission it is unlawful to take away the right of elected officials to make pur- chaes for their departments after authorization for the capital out- lay has been approved by them. The question came up when Cote told Lie commission he had the opportunity to use an adding machine for the next four months and pay for it out of the ].960 treasurer's budget. The commission passed tbe r- olution Monday to place all capital outlay under the current expense fund which is under their control. The commission told Cole. they were doing this in order to elim- inate the possibility of purchase by various department heads be- ing made without a chance of competing contpanies to bid. COLE MAINTAINED the law says capital outlay can only be placed under current expense in class one and two counties. Mason county is a fifth class county.
