JUDGE PUTS
BOYS TO WORK I
Three teen-age youthm from Bel-
fair and one from Port Oreha,,*d
were sentenced to 10 days at hard
labor by Justice of the peace, Joe
Peters of Belfair Monday for
drinking alcoholic beverages.
The boys, all high school stu-
dents, were ordered to dig ditches
and paint buildings owned by the
emmty. Besides the 10 days of
work the boys also paid court
costs of $3,50 each.
The parents of the youths ap-
proved the penalty of the court
and one boy's father offered to
buy more paint himself if they
should run out.
Justice Peters had previously
meted out s, similar penalty to
four boys who were caught steal-
ing gasoline on the North Shore
road.

ICity Suspends
Rishel From
Police Force
The Shelton City Commis-
sion suspended police officer
Herbert Rishel from duty
Tuesday night in city hall.
The commission's position on
the suspension is that Rishel
was never legally hired as a
police officer since he at one
time had been convicted of a
felony.
Civil Service Commission
Chairman Rocky Hembroff
was notified of the suspen-
i
I sion and was present at the
meeting but said he had no
eomment on the matter at
that time.
RISHEL'S NAME has come up
on several occasions during the
hearing of Police Chief Paul Hin-
ton. One of the charges against
Hinton is that he hired a former
felon as a police officer. Rishel
was notified of his dismissal by
the city Tuesday night.
The charges against Rtshel
made reference to the alleged
falseness of his application for
employment when he was hired
by the city in 1956. The city's
viewpoint on the Rishel hiring is
that although he had received a
restoration of civil rights from
the governor he was still not
eligible to hold a civil service
office.
The move to suspend Rishel had
the backing of Mayor Earl Moore
and Commissioners Joe Simpson
and W. F. McCann.
THE STATE passed a new law
in regard to parole in 1951 which
has caused some confusion as to
the legal status of persons con-
victed of felonies, according to
State Parole and Probation Offic-
er Har.ry Peterson of Bremerton.

Frank Heuston is shown here OrOSS examining
mayor Earl Moore last Friday In city hall. Moore
claimed that Chief HInton had not cooperated
with him since taking office and that he had heard
many complaints about the police department.

New Child Support Law May
Help Cut Public Welfare Costs
A new and stiffer child support
program is now being enforced in
the state of Washington as the re-
sult of a law passed at the last
legislative session held in Olym-
pia.
TIlE NEW LAW, called the er-
rant fathers law, is being enforced
by the State Attorney General's
office and provides for liens on
property of persons who desert
the responsibility of paying for
the support of their minor chil-
dren. In the past, the county pros-
ecuting attorney has been respon-
sible for this job as one of the
many duties of that office. The
new law places the investigation
of these cases in the hands of
three assistant attorney generals
who are devoting full time to this
one problem.
Laws requiring financial sup-
port for minor children have been
on the books for years but unfor-
tunately it was extremely difficult
for the smaller counties to supply
the manpower needed to handle
the investigation and prosecution
of cases. Some of the larger court-
ties such as King and Pierce do
have personnel who devote their
time exclusively to these cases
and will continue to operate as
they have in the past in regard to
child support cases. The law was
passed mainly for the lc.. popu-
lated areas such ms Mason Coun-
ty.
During the 1957-59 biennium, it
costs the taxpayers of Washing-
ton $27,559,472 for aidto aepena-
ent children. The cost in Mason
county was $164,434.37 for the
two year period.
Irvin McArthur, administrator
of the Man County Public As-
sistance Office, thinks the new
law will help reduce the cost of
public assistance in the state. Me-
Arthur estinmtes that between 60
and 70 percent of the fathers who
are not now paying for the sup-i
port of their children could be
forced to do so as tim result of
this new law. McArthur thinks
that about 25 percent of those un-
able to support their children have
legitimate reasons such as sick-
ness, accident, death and others.
Youth Honor Day Absence Creates
HIGHER HALLOWE'EN HAZARDS
in ouHrigcohermuHnTte: yheaaZ;dScaSh°uld b;e angirC:Pttaad
aDsence of the Youth Honor program sponsored with
such excellent results by the Moose Lodge in past years.
Because of the absence of the planned, supervised
activity programs which were the basis of the Youth
Honor project Shelton's younger set will be "on their
own" to a much greater extent this Hallowe'en night.
And that throws a lreater responsibility on the rest
of us because fun-seeking youngsters will be roaming
the streets in greater numbers than if they had dances,
skating parties, movies, and the other activities here.
tofore associated with the Youth Honor program.
Not all the hazards of Hallowe'en are on the streets.
Most motorists will recognize, or should, anyway, that
you can't count on excited youngsters to play it safe,
so drivers should exercise extra caution when driving
on Hallowe'en.
But the home and its surroundings can also present
dangerous hazards to trick-or.treaters.
Home owners not only have a moral responsibil-
ity to keep youngsters safe at Hallowe'en but, in many
instances, can be legally responsible if someone is in-
jured on their property.
To guard against a tragedy that may mar a child's
Hallowe'en fun, here are some safety tips for home
owners to consider:
1--Light your porch if it's likely you'll have visits
from trick-or-treaters. An excited youngster is ripe
for a tumble in the dark.
2Make sure your yard isn't an obstacle course
for children. Cover excavations. Tie strips of white
cloth to temporary fences around shrubbery or newly
seeded grass.
3--If you have a dog, keel) it secured. The strange
sights and sounds of youngsters dressed up to look
like ghosts and goblins could excite it--with dire results.
Parents, too, can help by making sure their chil-
dren's vision is not impaired by masks and movement
hampered by trailing costumes, and that they are
dressed appropriately for the kind of prevailing
weather.
With proper supervision and safety precautions,
this can be a happy and mishap-free Hallowe'en even
without Youth Honor Day activities.

THE MASON county office of
the Department of Public Assist-
ance is now handling 60 aid to de-
pendent children cases involving
186 persons including both chin !
dren and mothers. Besides the;
$164,434.37 for ADC Mason coun-
ty spent $34,458 for child welfare
services over the two year period.
Child welfare sez-¢ices include spe-
cial services needed by children
with special problems.
The new law went into effect
July 1 and already 'the eastern and
northwest parts of the state have
an assistant attorney general
handling this problem. It is ex-
pected lhat an appointment will
be made soon to work on these
type of cases fo rthe southwest
)art of the state.
Last year public assistance co,t
Washington taxpayers over $280,
000,000 and it is hoped that the
new law which cuts some of the
red tape in connecth)n with the
)rosecution of these cases and
provides for more rigid investiga-
tions will lighten this burden to
some extent.

tutions sent a bill of $936 to Ma-
son county this week for payment

VERDICT ON HINTON
EXPECTED TODAY
Everything from baseball to concentrated "night school
law courses" came into the testimony in the final day of the
civil service commission hearing of the dismissal charges
against suspended chief of police Paul Hinton.
The "night school law" came into the hearing during the
testimony of Bernard Bailey, Shelton barber, who has filed
and subsequently withdrawn charges against the present
civil service board.
BAILEY SAIl) that at the time
he arranged a meeting thzx)ugh
Police Sgt. V. J. Santamaria with
Mayor Earl Moore and city tttor-
ney Barry Hatten, that all he
wanted was information about the
hiring' of a convicted felon by the
police department. He said he had
asked about this °f the mayor be" i Winner $105
fore and had never felt that he
had been given a satisfactory an-
swer.
As the evening meeting, on Oc-
tober 10, progressed Bailey stated
that points in the civil service
code were pointed out to him, and
that by the time the meeting was
dver it seemed like a good idea to
file charges against the commis-
sion.
BAILEY MAINTAINED that
at first he had been interested
only in the moral issue of a felon
on the police department, but that
at his meeting with Hatten and
Moore. Moore had suggested that
if things were going to blow up
they might as well go the whole
way.
Through questions asked by Ar-
t orncy Frank Heuston. counsel for
t'aul Hinton, Bailey related that
afler the session he went home
and wrote a letter stating the
charges against Ihe commission
and that the next morning Barry
Hatten picked the letter up at his
barber shop and that later in the
day he met with Hatten and
Mom'e and Hatten gave him an
amended letter of his charges
telling him to copy it in his own
hand and submit it to the city
commission, which he did.
UNDER CROSS examination by
Hatten, Bailey said that the city
attorney had advised him that as
a citizen he wouhl have to draw
tip the cti;ges himself, tht he
Hatrten couldn't do it for him.
In further cross examination
Bailey said that he was "shook",
when at a meeting with County
Prosecutor McClannahan, Sheriff
Potter and I'rank Heuston. Heu-
ston brought up the possibility of
filing charges against him of con-
spiracy to subvert ju,tice and
criminal libel.
I,A.TEI ON during the morn-
ing hearing, County Prosecutor
Byron McClannahan was called
to the stand to testify about the
meeting with Bailey when the
possibility of criminal action was
discussed and about complaints he
had made in the past to the mayor
and the city attorney about the
police department.
He stated that he did not recall
having been critical of the chief
or the department but had men-
tioned specific cases where he was
dissatisfied with the manner of
investigations.
He also said that after he found
out that the mayor had relayed
things he had told him in confi-
dence on to other people, things
that he felt were gossip and hear-
say, he decided to clear them up
by his own investigation and
found that: the majority of them
were without foundation.
IN A DIII ECT exchange with
Hatten, McClannahan said, "Do
you honestly want to know what
I think about this whole thing? I
think you gave Bailey some bum
advice."
The day that Chicago beat Los
Angeles 1-0 was the day officer
Dick Nelson recalled, during his
testimony as being the time he
met in the Shelton Hotel with
Hatten and Moore and told them
that he thought they were using
him as a "patsy" in the Hinton
case. During his testimony Nelson
said that it was also clear between
he and Heuston that if he was
part of a conspiracy "to get Hin-
ton" that Heuston would have his
job.
Other witnesses called during
the morning were Frank Willazl,
")rincipal of the vocational school
of tle city school who testified
that he felt the handling of juve-
nile problems had been greatly
improved since Hinton had be-
":ome chief and that he was the
best police chief he had worked
with.
GEORGE HERMES, high school
principal, said that his associa-
tion with Hinton had been agree-
able and that he felt that Hinton
had helped many teen-agers who
otherwise would have gotten into
trouble.
It was annoulced at the noon
recess that the bearing wouhl con-
tinue on through the day and into
the night Wednesday until all tes-
timony lind been heard. The com-
mission members, Stan Parker,
Rocky Henlbroff, Archic Dittman
and secretary Torger Lee would
then consider the case aml prob-
ably have their decision Thursday
morning.
On Thursday the nmrntng ses-
sions of the hearing, Chief Hinton
was qnestioned by his attorney,
Frank Heuston, about the hiring
of officer Herbert Rishel. Hinton
said he first met Rishel in 1952
when Rishel was working for the
department of natural resources,

ICity Suspends
Rishel From
Police Force
The Shelton City Commis-
sion suspended police officer
Herbert Rishel from duty
Tuesday night in city hall.
The commission's position on
the suspension is that Rishel
was never legally hired as a
police officer since he at one
time had been convicted of a
felony.
Civil Service Commission
Chairman Rocky Hembroff
was notified of the suspen-
i
I sion and was present at the
meeting but said he had no
eomment on the matter at
that time.
RISHEL'S NAME has come up
on several occasions during the
hearing of Police Chief Paul Hin-
ton. One of the charges against
Hinton is that he hired a former
felon as a police officer. Rishel
was notified of his dismissal by
the city Tuesday night.
The charges against Rtshel
made reference to the alleged
falseness of his application for
employment when he was hired
by the city in 1956. The city's
viewpoint on the Rishel hiring is
that although he had received a
restoration of civil rights from
the governor he was still not
eligible to hold a civil service
office.
The move to suspend Rishel had
the backing of Mayor Earl Moore
and Commissioners Joe Simpson
and W. F. McCann.
THE STATE passed a new law
in regard to parole in 1951 which
has caused some confusion as to
the legal status of persons con-
victed of felonies, according to
State Parole and Probation Offic-
er Har.ry Peterson of Bremerton.

New Child Support Law May
Help Cut Public Welfare Costs
A new and stiffer child support
program is now being enforced in
the state of Washington as the re-
sult of a law passed at the last
legislative session held in Olym-
pia.
TIlE NEW LAW, called the er-
rant fathers law, is being enforced
by the State Attorney General's
office and provides for liens on
property of persons who desert
the responsibility of paying for
the support of their minor chil-
dren. In the past, the county pros-
ecuting attorney has been respon-
sible for this job as one of the
many duties of that office. The
new law places the investigation
of these cases in the hands of
three assistant attorney generals
who are devoting full time to this
one problem.
Laws requiring financial sup-
port for minor children have been
on the books for years but unfor-
tunately it was extremely difficult
for the smaller counties to supply
the manpower needed to handle
the investigation and prosecution
of cases. Some of the larger court-
ties such as King and Pierce do
have personnel who devote their
time exclusively to these cases
and will continue to operate as
they have in the past in regard to
child support cases. The law was
passed mainly for the lc.. popu-
lated areas such ms Mason Coun-
ty.
During the 1957-59 biennium, it
costs the taxpayers of Washing-
ton $27,559,472 for aidto aepena-
ent children. The cost in Mason
county was $164,434.37 for the
two year period.
Irvin McArthur, administrator
of the Man County Public As-
sistance Office, thinks the new
law will help reduce the cost of
public assistance in the state. Me-
Arthur estinmtes that between 60
and 70 percent of the fathers who
are not now paying for the sup-i
port of their children could be
forced to do so as tim result of
this new law. McArthur thinks
that about 25 percent of those un-
able to support their children have
legitimate reasons such as sick-
ness, accident, death and others.
Youth Honor Day Absence Creates
HIGHER HALLOWE'EN HAZARDS
in ouHrigcohermuHnTte: yheaaZ;dScaSh°uld b;e angirC:Pttaad
aDsence of the Youth Honor program sponsored with
such excellent results by the Moose Lodge in past years.
Because of the absence of the planned, supervised
activity programs which were the basis of the Youth
Honor project Shelton's younger set will be "on their
own" to a much greater extent this Hallowe'en night.
And that throws a lreater responsibility on the rest
of us because fun-seeking youngsters will be roaming
the streets in greater numbers than if they had dances,
skating parties, movies, and the other activities here.
tofore associated with the Youth Honor program.
Not all the hazards of Hallowe'en are on the streets.
Most motorists will recognize, or should, anyway, that
you can't count on excited youngsters to play it safe,
so drivers should exercise extra caution when driving
on Hallowe'en.
But the home and its surroundings can also present
dangerous hazards to trick-or.treaters.
Home owners not only have a moral responsibil-
ity to keep youngsters safe at Hallowe'en but, in many
instances, can be legally responsible if someone is in-
jured on their property.
To guard against a tragedy that may mar a child's
Hallowe'en fun, here are some safety tips for home
owners to consider:
1--Light your porch if it's likely you'll have visits
from trick-or-treaters. An excited youngster is ripe
for a tumble in the dark.
2Make sure your yard isn't an obstacle course
for children. Cover excavations. Tie strips of white
cloth to temporary fences around shrubbery or newly
seeded grass.
3--If you have a dog, keel) it secured. The strange
sights and sounds of youngsters dressed up to look
like ghosts and goblins could excite it--with dire results.
Parents, too, can help by making sure their chil-
dren's vision is not impaired by masks and movement
hampered by trailing costumes, and that they are
dressed appropriately for the kind of prevailing
weather.
With proper supervision and safety precautions,
this can be a happy and mishap-free Hallowe'en even
without Youth Honor Day activities.
' L LII I . J . I II LIIII I II I II']lliLl" _ [lit J IIII II .... ll,I
THE MASON county office of
the Department of Public Assist-
ance is now handling 60 aid to de-
pendent children cases involving
186 persons including both chin !
dren and mothers. Besides the;
$164,434.37 for ADC Mason coun-
ty spent $34,458 for child welfare
services over the two year period.
Child welfare sez-¢ices include spe-
cial services needed by children
with special problems.
The new law went into effect
July 1 and already 'the eastern and
northwest parts of the state have
an assistant attorney general
handling this problem. It is ex-
pected lhat an appointment will
be made soon to work on these
type of cases forthe southwest
)art of the state.
Last year public assistance co,t
Washington taxpayers over $280,
000,000 and it is hoped that the
new law which cuts some of the
red tape in connecth)n with the
)rosecution of these cases and
provides for more rigid investiga-
tions will lighten this burden to
some extent.

VERDICT ON HINTON
EXPECTED TODAY
Everything from baseball to concentrated "night school
law courses" came into the testimony in the final day of the
civil service commission hearing of the dismissal charges
against suspended chief of police Paul Hinton.
The "night school law" came into the hearing during the
testimony of Bernard Bailey, Shelton barber, who has filed
and subsequently withdrawn charges against the present
civil service board.
BAILEY SAIl) that at the time
he arranged a meeting thzx)ugh
Police Sgt. V. J. Santamaria with
Mayor Earl Moore and city tttor-
ney Barry Hatten, that all he
wanted was information about the
hiring' of a convicted felon by the
police department. He said he had
asked about this °f the mayor be" i Winner $105
fore and had never felt that he
had been given a satisfactory an-
swer.
As the evening meeting, on Oc-
tober 10, progressed Bailey stated
that points in the civil service
code were pointed out to him, and
that by the time the meeting was
dver it seemed like a good idea to
file charges against the commis-
sion.
BAILEY MAINTAINED that
at first he had been interested
only in the moral issue of a felon
on the police department, but that
at his meeting with Hatten and
Moore. Moore had suggested that
if things were going to blow up
they might as well go the whole
way.
Through questions asked by Ar-
t orncy Frank Heuston. counsel for
t'aul Hinton, Bailey related that
afler the session he went home
and wrote a letter stating the
charges against Ihe commission
and that the next morning Barry
Hatten picked the letter up at his
barber shop and that later in the
day he met with Hatten and
Mom'e and Hatten gave him an
amended letter of his charges
telling him to copy it in his own
hand and submit it to the city
commission, which he did.
UNDER CROSS examination by
Hatten, Bailey said that the city
attorney had advised him that as
a citizen he wouhl have to draw
tip the cti;ges himself, tht he
Hatrten couldn't do it for him.
In further cross examination
Bailey said that he was "shook",
when at a meeting with County
Prosecutor McClannahan, Sheriff
Potter and I'rank Heuston. Heu-
ston brought up the possibility of
filing charges against him of con-
spiracy to subvert ju,tice and
criminal libel.
I,A.TEI ON during the morn-
ing hearing, County Prosecutor
Byron McClannahan was called
to the stand to testify about the
meeting with Bailey when the
possibility of criminal action was
discussed and about complaints he
had made in the past to the mayor
and the city attorney about the
police department.
He stated that he did not recall
having been critical of the chief
or the department but had men-
tioned specific cases where he was
dissatisfied with the manner of
investigations.
He also said that after he found
out that the mayor had relayed
things he had told him in confi-
dence on to other people, things
that he felt were gossip and hear-
say, he decided to clear them up
by his own investigation and
found that: the majority of them
were without foundation.
IN A DIII ECT exchange with
Hatten, McClannahan said, "Do
you honestly want to know what
I think about this whole thing? I
think you gave Bailey some bum
advice."
The day that Chicago beat Los
Angeles 1-0 was the day officer
Dick Nelson recalled, during his
testimony as being the time he
met in the Shelton Hotel with
Hatten and Moore and told them
that he thought they were using
him as a "patsy" in the Hinton
case. During his testimony Nelson
said that it was also clear between
he and Heuston that if he was
part of a conspiracy "to get Hin-
ton" that Heuston would have his
job.
Other witnesses called during
the morning were Frank Willazl,
")rincipal of the vocational school
of tle city school who testified
that he felt the handling of juve-
nile problems had been greatly
improved since Hinton had be-
":ome chief and that he was the
best police chief he had worked
with.
GEORGE HERMES, high school
principal, said that his associa-
tion with Hinton had been agree-
able and that he felt that Hinton
had helped many teen-agers who
otherwise would have gotten into
trouble.
It was annoulced at the noon
recess that the bearing wouhl con-
tinue on through the day and into
the night Wednesday until all tes-
timony lind been heard. The com-
mission members, Stan Parker,
Rocky Henlbroff, Archic Dittman
and secretary Torger Lee would
then consider the case aml prob-
ably have their decision Thursday
morning.
On Thursday the nmrntng ses-
sions of the hearing, Chief Hinton
was qnestioned by his attorney,
Frank Heuston, about the hiring
of officer Herbert Rishel. Hinton
said he first met Rishel in 1952
when Rishel was working for the
department of natural resources,
