The Shelton School District at
its meeting Tuesday night accept-
ed the resignation of Supt. Robert
Quiggle effective Dec. 1.
The board set Nov. 26 at 8 p.m.
for a special meeting to consider
the appointment of an interim su-
perintendent to fill out the remain-
der of the school year which ends
July 1.
The motion to accept the resig-
nation was made by Mrs. Virginia
Martig and seconded by Les Spil-
seth. In making the motion to ac-
cept the resignation, Mrs. Marttg
expressed appreciation to Quiggle
for his positive action progressive
programs during his administra-
tion.
In the agenda of the school
board meeting which was released
a few days ago, Quiggle had asked
that the resignation be considered
at a special meeting Nov. 22.
Board Chairman Dr. Douglas
Larson stated when the letter came
, up for discussion that since the let-
ter was dated Nov. 1 and had al-
ready been made public, he felt the
board should consider it at the
Tuesday night meeting.
QUIGGLE THEN STATED he
had reconsidered since the agenda
was made up and had decided he
would no longer accept employ-
ment with the district. He said he
felt that his continuing with the
district under the circumstances
would be doing more harm than
good to the students, who, after
all,' should be given the first con-
sideration.
Quiggle took over the superin-
tendent's position July 1, 1964 suc-
ceeding retiring R. W. Oltman.
In June of this year, the board
asked for Qutggle's resignation ef-
fective July 1. He declined to com-
ply with the request and for sev-
eral months the supertntendent's
attorney and a special legal coun-
sel employed by the district dis-
Norman E. Graves, 56, Mc-

fered in a bunting accident.

miles from Shelton in the Arcadia
Funeral Home and was then moved
to Whitesides Funeral Home,
Elma, for burial.

IN ANNOU_N~ING their sport-.
sorship of the contest, the Cham-
ber said it was ~he feeling that

bulk of the city decorations and
that they siloul~l have some recog-
nition..
"We feel home decorat.ions in
Shelton are better than those of
other cities in the :mrrounding
areas", the Chamber announce-
mcnt said.

ber of years that a home decora-
tion contest, for Christmas Deco-
rations has been held here,

and city in Mason County.
Commissioner Dave Kneeland re-
ported he had met with a repre-
sentative of the State Auditor's
office in connection with the set-
ting up of a cost accounting sys-
tem for the city's water and sewer

hoped the system could be set up
so it could go into operation July
1. The 1966 budget allows funds
for the employment of a~ account-
ant to handle the Job. The cost
accounting system for these two
funds is required by state law
since both have more than $50,000
in revenue a yeax.

tions for a new fire truck so they
would be ready when money was
available for the purchase of one.

Asked By Judge
Judge Charles Wright Friday
asked for further investigation of
an incident at a dance Oct. 2 which
led to Robert Boynton, 19, Shelton,
appearing before him to face a
charge of second degree assault.
Boynton appeared in court Fri-
day with his court-appointed at~
to,'ney Glenn Correa to change his
Lion of the superintendent, voted to
allow the three sons of 1V~r, and
Mrs. William Chappell to attend
Mary M. Knight School for the re-
mainder of this year with their
situation to be reconsidered before
enrollment next fall.
The board adopted a calendar
for teacher contract negotiations.
It also approved appointments
which fills the membership of the
Citizen's Advisory Committee.
The board voted to ask the Ma-
son County PTA Council to con-
duct an election, as an independent
body, among teacllers to determine
which organization they want to
represent them in negotiations with
the board. An election of this na-
ture was provided in laws passed
by the last session of the state
legislature.
Also approved was a program
of employing seven women who
take over lunch room duty and
playground supervision at the

The board voted to table a rec-
ommendation by the superintend-
(Continued on Page 5A)
plea from not guilty to guilty on
the charges brought by Prosecut-
ing Attorney Byron McClanahan.
Boynton had entered the not
guilty plea the previous week in
court.
THE CHARGE was the result of
a knife which Boynton is charged
with pulling during a fight at the
dance. His attorney told the court
that Boynton had gotten into the
fray in the first place to try to
break it up, and, after being hit
by another youth, had pulled the
knife.
Judge Wright asked if any of
the other participants in the fight
had been charged, and, when told
they had not, asked City Attorney
John Ragan, who was present in
court, to investigate the reason
charges had not been brought
against anyone else. The fight oc-
curred at the Memorial building
and the arrest was made by city
)olice,
on Highway 106 and Allnoch
southbound on Highway 101 at
the time of the accident. Alln0ch
suffered knee and mouth cuts and
a chest injury, the State Patrol
said.
INVESTIGATING officers said
that apparently Miss Chatelain
pulled out onto Highway 101
through the stop sign~ and into
the path of the Allnoch car.
