(The the statement is had any complaints on the length of his hair being disruptive, and that contrary to a previous report, he had missed three days of school, not one. Hamlin concluded the discussion by stating Mr. and Mrs. Lovgren would be notified of the school board's decision by letter. No formal action was taken by the board at the meeting Tuesday night. The question, as tossed back and forth between the audience and school board and administrators, centered around whether the dress and appearance codes in the high school came under tide board's power from the state to make reasonable rules and regulations for school conduct. The administrators statement said: Shelton administrators believe that public bodies such as public schools, are obligated to protect individual rights of students, provide them with adequate due process, provide opportunity for students to participate in representative government and share in the operation of the school, including giving full consideration to student wishes concerning dress and appearance codes. The administrators are proud of the student body and believe the youth of Shelton as a group is one of the finest in the State. All Shelton school administrators in the elementary, secondary and central office areas believe the present dress and appearance codes found in the junior - senior high school handbooks, as developed by student-faculty committees, give adequate leeway for a suitable variety of dress and appearance among students. During a period of several winter months last year when parts of the dress and appearance codes were dropped there was a deterioration of the educational process in most of the schools of the Shelton District. Records of both a general and specific nature were kept, which showed increased student disciplinary problems, more negative attitudes toward education developing, less respect and courtesy shown by students toward their peers, lower scholarship in the case of some students that was directly related to extreme dress, a lowered image of the student body by much of the community and increased distraction in the classroom. Since administrators of public schools are charged by statute and school pohcy-to make rules and regulations, to assure a proper environment for the conduct of its operations, including rules and regulations relative to grooming, dress, hair style and the like, and the right and duty to enforce those, any deterioration of the educational process must be corrected. Since a definite deterioration in the broad areas of personal pride, scholarship, attitude, and behavior occurred during the relaxation of the dress code, the administration of the Shelton Public Schools will continue to insist on reasonable rules and regulations for student conduct, dress and appearance. Perhaps the need for dress and appearance codes could best be summed up by part of a statement written to the office by a teacher last year who noted a definite and unsatisfactory change in her class during the relaxation of the dress code as follows: "I found their conduct was not good since the students acted as they dressed." The administration believes that to get the best educational results in a school and to keep a desirable learning atmosphere that a semi-formal dress and appearance is desirable.

Supt. Louis Grinnell reported to the board that enrollment as of Oct. 1, was 91 less than it was Oct. I, 1969, and that this would mean about $35,000 less in state money for the district. Architect Harold Dalke presented revised plans for the new handicapped school building which he said would reduce the cost to bring it in line with the amount of money the district had to spend. Previous bids were all rejected when they came in well above the architect's estimate. Dalke said the revisions included elimination of the masonry and going to a wood frame building similar to that the addition to Mr. View and Bordeaux. Other changes include lowering of the roof pitch and deletion of the air conditioning system. He stated that he estimated the cost under the proposed plans would be $52,000 to $57,000 less than the previous bids. The plans must now be sub- mitted to the state fire marshall's office and electrical inspector for approval before they can be put out for bids again. The board, after hearing a report on an investigation of a synchronized swimming program for girls, voted to accept the recommendation of Walter Clayton, who made the study, that the program not be instituted right now. The board asked the administration to prepare a proposal for participation in a ski school program to be presented to the board at a later meeting. Jack Magel, director of the Crystal Mountain Ski School, appeared at the meeting to discuss it with the board.. The board accepted the resignation of Nancy James, effective Dec. 4. Mrs. James ;s a junior high school teacher. The board approved Elbern F. Savelle, 39, Bremerton, is being held in Mason County Jail on a charge of first degree murder in connection with the death of a Florida woman in Belfair State Park last Friday evening. Dead is Mrs. Diane Tyree, 33, whose body was found in the back seat of a car at the camp site where Savelle, Mrs. Tyree and Mr. and Mrs. John T. Smith, Pensacola, Fla., were camping. Coronor John C. Ragan said Mrs. Tyree's death was caused by a shot from a .22 caliber pistol which struck her in the head. The death weapon was found at the scene, Ragan said. Savelle was arrested near the scene by Mason County Sheriff's Deputies who had been called. The shooting occured about 6 p.m. Friday, Ragan said. Evidence in the case was taken to Seattle Monday for testing, the coronor said. Officers said Mrs. Tyree, the mother of two children, was senarated from her husband, A02 Harold Tyree, who is serving in the Navy stationed at Pensacola. Savelle. recently retired from the Navy, Mrs. Tyree and Mr. and Mrs. Smith left Florida Sept. 11 on a camping trip and had arrived in Belfair State Park Oct. 5, officers said. Smith is also a retired Navy man. The group, along with another man, had been in Bremerton Friday and had returned to the camp site about 4 p.m., officers said. Mr. and Mrs. Smith had gone into a camper to sleep and Mrs. Tyree was sleeping in the back seat of the car in which they had come back to the samp site, officers said. Savelle and the other man, who had returned from Bremerton with them, were cooking over a camp fire. The other man told officers he left the camp site briefly, and, when he returned, he attempted to awaken Mrs. Tyree, but, was unable to do so. He got Mrs. Smith who also tried to awaken her before discovering she was apparently dead. Officers were called to the scene where they discovered Mrs. Tyree's body and arrested Savelle. Formal charges of first degree murder were filed against Savelle Tuesday by Prosecuting Attorney John C. Ragan. He is being held without bail under an order signed by Judge Hewitt Henry. A graveside service was held for Mrs. Tyree Wednesday in Shelton Memorial Park with Fr. Donald Maddux officiating. Mrs. Tyree was born Oct. 28, 1936 in Madison, Wis. Survivors include her husband, Harold, Pensacola, Fla.; a son and a daughter presently living in Savannah, Ga., and her father.

Ten Cents Per Copy th il A 14-year old juvenile is being held in Mason County Jail on a charge of kidnapping after being arrested by Mason County Sheriff's deputies. The youth abducted James K. Lumley, 66, Tiger Lake, at gunpoint from his residence and forced him to drive to the Kitsap County Airport between Belfair and Bremerton, officers said. The youth released Lumley at the airport. The youth was apprehended and disarmed by a Mason County Deputy Sheriff near the airport. Officers stud the youth told them he was planning to force a pilot to fly him to California, but, changed his mind and was walking back to the Mason County Sheriff's Office in Belfair to turn himself in at the time of his aI'resl. The youth is in custody in Mason County jail awaiting the action of juvenile authorities. After being released by the youth, Lumley drove to Gorst to call officers. The abduction occured shortly before 8 p.m. Tuesday. Two Shelton men were arrested Tuesday night on first degree burglary charges after one of them was held at gun point by a Shelton woman in her home.

Ragan said Brooks would be charged with first degree burglary and Sisson with first degree burglary and grand larceny. Police said they received a call Tuesday night from Mrs. Laurel Weston, 701 N. l 3th St., Shelton. that someone was trying to break into her home.

Officers said several items which had been removed from a locked cupboard in Mrs. Weston's garage were recovered from Sisson's pick-up. Mrs. Weston, a widow, was home alone at the time of the incident. II By JAN DANFORD "When President Taft drove by our home in Kansas I was, perhaps, five or six years old. He was wearing a stove-pipe hat, and he rode in an open car - the only car in town. The incident remains a highlight of my childhood. I have since viewed many cars, but I have never seen another president." Such are the reminiscences of Pastor Edwin Zschoche, who was honored on the atternoon of October 4 in the Mt. Olive Lutheran Church On the 40th anniversary of his installation into the ministry. He will retire at the end of the year. In 1905 Pastor Zschoche was born in southeast Missouri in a little town by the name of Point Rest which has since been swept away by the flooding Mississippi River. He had a sister and two brothers, and his father, who in less than a month will be 91 years old, was a machinist by trade. When Edwin Zschoche was four years of age the family moved to Kansas. During the year of 1920 he began his schooling in St. Paul's College in Concordia, Mo. from which he was graduated in 1926. He then attended Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, graduating in 1930. Married in 1931 to Alice Brockmeyer of St. Louis, Pastor Zschoche says: "In listing the many blessings that God has permitted me to enjoy, there is none more precious to me than the gift of a faithful and loving wife." He was called first to mission fields in Alberta, Canada, not far from Edmonton; and his next call, in 1933, was to Ida Grove, Iowa, where he served in St. Paul's Lutheran Church. It was to Calvary Lutheran Church in Sioux City, Iowa, that he went in 1942, followed by a move in 1953 to Zion Lutheran Church in Portland, Ore. An ardent golfer, the Rev. Edwin Zschoche at one time also knew a fondness for fishing, an enthusiasm shared by his wife. The two of them made many happy trips to the lakes of Minnesota. However, on an exceedingly rough ocean-fishing expedition approximately ten years ago, Pastor Zschoche failed to find the slightest pleasure. "Everyone was sea-sick, except me," he declared. "That seemed to make it worse. I was completely aware and conscious of our great danger. 1 was terrified." The boat pitched and wallowed in the churning waters, and the pastor prayed. He promised the Lord that if he got out of that mess he would never again get into another like it. "Since that time," states the Rev. Zschoche, "my interest in angling has definitely waned." On the first of November in 1966, he became the pastor of Mt. Olive Lutheran Church which stands high on a beautifully landscaped hill between Hillcrest and Angleside. The love and esteem with which Pastor Zschoche, treasurer of the ministerial association, is regarded by his congregation and his fellow ministers was reflected in the anniversary observance held in his honor. Emil Jaech of Portland, president of the Northwest District of Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, delivered the sermon to the assembly, which included a number of local pastors as well as a sprinkling of ministers ol u~ uwn faith attending from nearby cities. Both junior and senior choirs sang under the direction of Phil St~ehr, and a reception was held in the church parlors later in the day. Following the service Bill Johnson, president of the congregation, addressed the group and in their behalf presented to Pastor Zschoche a gift certificate for a complete set of Arnold Palmer aluminum-shafted golf clubs. "I am on Cloud Nine;" said the minister, "These clubs are to a golfer what a Stradivarius is to a violinist." Also given to the guest of honor was a volume filled with messages of congratulation and friendship sent by fellow pastors and former members of the congregation to a committee who collected them into a book as a surprise for their pastor. The Rev. and Mrs. Zschoche have a son who is employed by Tektronics, near Beaverton, Ore. The eldest of their five grandchildren will enroll this fall in a ministerial college. Upon his retirement the minister and his wife will live in Portland and will become members of the Lutheran Church in Beaverton. "I may try my hand at writing," says the pastor, " and 1 will do pulpit work for neighboring churches." I i BILL JOHNSON, left, president of the Mt. Olive Lutheran Church congregation, and Rev.
