Eight civ- ic and service groups were rep- resented--both senior and junior Chambers of Commerce, Rotsry Club, Kiwanis Club., V.F.W., Am- erican Legion, Zonta Club, and Jayettes. Discussion of the possibility of having these organizations repre- sented on the festival executive committee and board of trustees was discussed with the idea at operating in a s.omevhat similar manner to the Shelton General Hospital board. This appeared to meet a favorable response. The recommendation that a 1963 Forest Festival be held was pre- sented by Roy Kimbel, a member of the festival executive committee, who admitted that he was one of those responsible as much as any- one for the movement to do away with the festival. t'After seeing the response from the public represented by the people who have attended the three meetings we've had on this matter, I've changed my mind.

KIMBEL HAS BEEN general chairman of the, festival's logging sports show for all 18 years at the festival's life. His position was seconded by John W. Bennett, president of the senior Chamber of Commerce, an followed several talks by club dele- gates offering specific supporting ction for the festival.

Tile tzling on the state election laws. if it is asked, could afl:ee all stick u" or write in candidates An Air Force spokesman at the Shelton airport in the search said the clear weather Wednes- day had been a real break, and, had given an opportunity to look at many of the areas from which reports had been received, and a general look at the entire Peninsula. Neither the plane nor the pilot had been sighted Wed- nesday afternoon. Air and ground search crews continued to look for an Air Force pilot missing since Saturday morn- ing when his plane crashed north- west of Shelton. At press time, the search (ron- tinued, but, with no results. The pilot, Capt. Robert Lucas, 34, was ell fi fright from PaiIe Air Force Base near Everett, v/hen his F102A Jet Interceptor crashed between 10 and 10:30 a.m. Satur- day. Search parties have settled oil the area between the Satsop and Wynoochee rivers in Grays Har- bor County as the area of !:he crash. It was determined from re- ports of elk hunters who heard the crash and radio signals picked up Sunday and Monday morning. Air Force officials at Paip.e Field said the signals had not been emergency radio had gone dea 1. The Shelton airport wts being used as one point in the opera- tions. The rain and fog hampered the air search Saturday through Tues- day, but, ground crews were scou- ring the area. The search was being direet.ed from Paine Field.

He was ex- pected to gain some ground in the absentee count. At press time Wednesday, the absentee counting imd just started. The official canvass of the vote, which will follow tle count of the absentees, must come before a re- count can be made. Canvassing the vote and count- in Hie absentees is the county election board, Auditor C. No- ]an Mason, Prosecuting Attorney 13yron McClanahan and County Commission chairman Harry Elm- hind. What is clouding tim picture are the votes Anderson received, either by ills sticker or write-b which ended up in the Republican or Socialist; Labor party colunma or in other ph/ces on tile ballot.

In the case, Janet Dyer and Li/a Becker are seeking danzages from Duane Ward with Mr. and Mrs,' Jack Faltin and their daugll- state director of election, ruled that only votes received in one p,)iitical cohmm could be counted. iI was on this basis precinct etec= (). boards in the county were instructed to make their counts. It is these "/ost" votes which Andersou would seek Lo havo counted in any court action. Anderson said that if he does not fall too far betlind in the coun- ting of the absentee ballots, lle wJil ask for a. recotmt to determine the number of sticker and write.. in votes he received in tile Repub- licanand Socialist columns and in otler plaees in the ballot. If these votes, which have not been counted for him, give him a lead with some votes to spare, he will then start court action to get a ruling oil whether or not they should cotlnt. The election htw concerning stic- ker or write-in candidates is no clear. One point empilasized in the election laws is that if the intent of tte voter e.au be deternlined, the vote should count. This is the point on which An- derson will base any action he takes, contending that the use of tlac sticker, particularly, clearly in- dic.ttcs the intent of "the voter. Another point Anderson brings i out is that the sticker as printed could be classified as a miniature ballot, and, therefore shouhi be counted .... no matter where it was" phtced on the ballot. Anderson said he had no idea ill which court the actiou lnigl]t start. Anderson's suppm'ters have been busy since tize election raising funds to pay for the recount and any court action which might be necessary. Anderson said he had reecivtd nume.r0us teteplmne calls frol] people who urged him to cortin- ue the action in order to clarify the law which is now vague as to its nleaning. If tile recount is asked, iL wli be tile second one in the race for Ule sheriff's office here. SIteriff W. A. Potter lost the primary election to Clark after a recolmt which gave Chu'k a nlajor- ity of about 20. Clark ttad ledby 9 votes when the offlcia.l ea!lss ter, Inlet, for injuries sulJ:ered ill an auto accident iu Angust, :1960.

The iirst case to conic before the jury at lhe jury term of Su- perior Court in Mason County was dismissed by Jndo'e Charles T. Wright ou  motion from defense attorneys. The case was the State vs. Er- nest Loerscher and Mark Adanis. The state was seeki]lg re[ni,Jurse- nlent for money spent fighting" a irc on Loertscher's property on which Adanls was logging. Judge Wright granted the dis- nlissal by deiense attorneys on the grounds the state ttad failed 1,o prove a conneetion'between the fire and a pile of slash left from logging opcrat, ions and that the portion of the costs of figllting the fire oil Loertscher's property and on other adjacent property was sol determined.
