them all know we deeply appre-

On Law Enforcement
• Law enforcement officers of
all brache of gQyKnmerlt. rep7
resented in Mason County will
be honored next Tuesday evening
during a special "Law & Order"
program sponsored by Fred B.
Wivell American Legion Post in
Memorial Hall.
The public is invited to sit in
on an agenda which will award
citations of merit for outstanding
achievement to selected mem-
bers of the city police, county
sheriff's, and state patrol staffs.
Ten agencies of law enforcement
will be represented at the pro-
gram, including, in addition to
the three mentioned above, the
state game department, justice,
police, superior, and Skokomish
Tribal courts, the city attorney,
and the county prosecutor.
The Law and Order program
is a national project fostered by
the American Legion as a mea-
sure to restore public respect
and support for law enforcement
in the United States, an effort to
reverse the alarming trend in
this country today to disobey
laws and resist law enforcement
which has encouraged a rapid
increase in the national crime
rate.

p.m. and close with light re-
freshments served by the Ameri-
can Legion Ladies Auxiliary.

evening will be Norm Goodsir of

New Tahuya Post Office To Be Dedi
• Tahuya's new post office will
be dedicated at 1:30 p.m. Dec. 2
Postmaster Frances Huson an-
notmced this week.
The new facility, located at
Tahuya is part of the Post Office
Department's lease construction
program, the local postmaster
said.
Under this program, invest-
ment financing is used to obtain
needed facilities which remain
under private ownership, pay
local taxes to this community,
and are leased to the Federal
Government.
This gives the Department
some flexibility in adapting its
building program to changes in
mail volume, transportation and
population, Postmaster Huson ex-
plained. At the same time, the
need for large outlays of money
from the Federal Treasury for
New Commissioner Seated
At Meeting Tuesday
• Newly-elected Commissioner
of Public Works Glen Watson
took his seat on the Shelton City
Commission Tuesday and Mayor
Frank Trawls and Finance Com-
missioner Dave Kneeland began
new terms of office•
The three were sworn in by
City Clerk Alma Catto at the be-
ginning of the Tuesday meeting•
Mrs. Bert Sjoholm appeared at
the meeting to discuss a prob-
lem she has in getting water to
her property from a creek on
which she has a water right.
She said that the creek had
been running to the property for
many years, and, a few years
ago, the city installed a drainage
line. In addition, a four-inch line
was put in to provide for the
@ater right which the Sjoholms
have.
city pay for clearing the line•
City Attorney B. Franklin Hues- •
ton told the commission he had
looked into the problem when it
was brought up previously, and,
he felt that the city had pro-
vided accessability to their water
right to the Sjoholms, and, that
the city should not be responsi-
ble for getting water to the
property.
An appraisal of $8,907 for an
easement across 12.23 acres of
property asked by Bonneville
Power Administration was re-
ceived from Boone and Boone
Real Estate, Olympia.
A Bonneville representative
had appeared at the commission
meeting two weeks ago to ask
for an easement for the installa-
tion of a new power line. The
city commission had agreed to
have an appraisal made before
life of the nation."
