TWO SEATTLE women, Mrs.
Margaret D. McDonald. 34, and
Mrs. Clara C. Smith, 37, died when
the car in which they were riding
went out of control, sideswiped
another vehicle and crashed about
a mile north of Bclfair early Sun-
day morning.
Both women were killed instant-
ly.
Driver of the vehicle Which was
sideswiped, Mrs. Margery Lees,
Gig Harbor, escaped with oniy
bruises.
The State Patrol said, the car,
apparently with Mrs. McDonald

Simpson Timber Co. will close
its Shelton Sawmill Two and
Planer Two next week because of
leer market conditions.
The two plants, which employ
L90 men, will shut down after
swingshift, Friday, Oct. 30 and
are scheduled to resume produc-
tion Monday, Nov. 9.
"This closure is necessary tO re-
duce out" lumber inventory," said
H. A. Ahlskog, manager, fir and
hemlock sawmills division. "The
primary cause of our extremely
high inventory is lack of current
orders. However, the acute rail-
road car shortage of the past
month and lack of vessels are con-
tributing factors."
Ahlskog said no further shut-
downs are scheduled, but future
operations will depend on obtain-
ing sufficient Qrders.
Meanwhile, Simpson's Olsnnpic
Plywood Plant, Shelton, is shut
down this week/ also for lack (ff
orders. No reopening date had been
set for this plant as of Wedne.~lay.

Next Tuesday voters face many problems on
which they must use their best ,iudgmcut. One '
problem of particular i ttcrcst ore" commg,n ty
is a new hospital, wcU-cquippcd for present needs
and the [orcsccable ]uturc.
All avenues of approach to a new hospital have been
investigated, all methods of financing studied thoroughly.
Formation of a hospital district comes out of this long and
searching study as the most logical and practical solution.
This calls for the election of three commissioners to
oversee its operation. The success or failure of the plan,
should the voters agree to the plan, will depend in large
measure on the mcn or women elected as commissioners.
Regretably, there exists in the community an unhealthy
and unpleasant relationship between some members of our
medical profession. Therefore, it is important that the eom-
missiouers elected be strictly impartial, not identified with
either of the existing hospital bodies, whi('h have served well
and faithfully, butno longer meet with state standards.
We must not permit the community of Mason County
to be crucified on a cross of personal or t)rofessional ani-
mosity or partiality.
The Join'hal urges passage of the hospital
district proposal and the cIccti(:m of the three, tom-
'missioner candidates who have not bccn associated
in the past with either of the present hospitals
(see page 9).
