REPLACEMENTS for sevelal
of the vacancies were volunteered
at Tuesday night's meeting by
delegates from the different or-
ganizations represented. 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. I think it is
evident the public wants the festi-

next year's festival," Kimbel said.
KIMBEL HAS BEEN general
chairman of the, festival's logging

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.
One who strongly urged continu-
ance of the festival was H. O

Continues Near Here
There was a strong possibility
that the courts will be asked to
determine the outcome of the Ma-

tbsentee ballots were counted
Wednesday.

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

The Shelton airport wts being

The rain and fog hampered the

The search was being direet.ed

that if the absentees did not
lengthen Clark's margin too far,
he would ask for a recount Fri-

Slads Before
Jury .Term
The jt "y ";ssion of Mason Coun-
ty Superior Court z'estuned at 10
a.nl. today witll a case involving
damages for injuries is1 aJ auto-
mobile accident on the docket.
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

The case of Mrs. Erma Htwlbut
agailst Mr. and Mrs. Don Huson
and John Huson for the death of
her husbald in an accident at the
Hmon's logging operations was
setLied out. of court.
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.
