The Mason County Planning
Commission, at its meeting last
week, voted to approve and
recommendation for adoption by
the county commission a
proposed county zoning
ordinance.
The proposed ordinance now
goes to the county commission
which will set a time to consider
its adoption.
The next step, after passage of
the zoning ordinance, will be
mapping the county to set out
which zone various property will
be classified in. The planning
commission will be working on
the zoning map preparing it for
submission to the county
commission at a later date.
The zoning ordinance, which
was approved by the planning
commissionj does not establish
what type of zoning various areas
will have, but, sets out the various
zoning classifications which will
be established and what types of
structures and activities will be
allowed in each.
The county has been working
toward county wide zoning for a
number of years.
A proposal for zoning was
presented about 10 years ago,
but, after Strong objections were
voiced at a public hearing, the
idea was dropped.
The county signed a contract
with Consulting Services Corp. to
prepare a comprehensive plan for
the county, the first toward
establishing a zoning ordinance, in
1966.
Work started on the plan in
1968 after federal matching funds
to finance it were allocated.
The county also established
its Planning Department in March
of 1968, with a part of the duties
of the planner to work with the
firm preparing the comprehensive
plan.
There is a first draft zoning
map in the county commissioners
room at the court house which
those interested can look over and
comment on, County Planner
James Connolly said.

The Shelton School District
will be opening the gymnasiums
to the youth of the community
on Saturdays, beginning Nov. 27
and ending Feb. 26, according to
Louis Grinnell, Superintendent.
The Mountain View,.
Bordeaux and main high school
gyms will be open each Saturday,
except Dec. 25 and Jan. 1, from
l0 a.m. to noon, to fourth, fifth
and sixth grade boys and from
noon to 2 p.m. to all ages of boys
and girls from the fourth grade
through high school.
The Saturday recreation
program will be supervised by
regular Shelton teachers. Terry
Gregg, high school teacher and
coach, will handle the main gym
downtown. Allen Hopp,
elementary teacher and coach,
will organize activities at
Mountain View Elementary and
Pete .Janda, elementary teacher
and coach, will conduct the
program at the Bordeaux
Elementary School gym.
The purpose of the program is
two-fold. The first is to train
fourth, fifth and sixth grade boys
in the fundamentals of basketball.
The program will give an equal
opportunity for learning to each
boy who participates. It will be a
program to learn skills rather than
to complete against each other,
although the youngsters will be
divided into teams of equal ability
for some play as time goes on. In
late February a tournament for
the boys who participate in the
program will be held.
The second purpose is to open
the gym to all of the youngsters
of the community for organized
activities, such as volleyball,
ping-pong,shuffle-board, rope
climbing, rhythmic activities,
relays, tumbling, bombardment
and others.
As the program develops, the
gyms may be open longer on
Saturday. Certain gyms may be
specified for certain age groups,
or for girls only, if there is enough
interest in the program.
LEARNING ALL THERE IS TO KNOW about "Green Eggs and Ham" from
Mike Connolly (right) are these youngsters who visited the Shelton City
Library during National Children's Book Week. Connolly is one of several
students from the High School Drama Department who took part in the
program by conducting story hours for the youngsters. Others from the class
who participated were Nancy Maranville, Nancy Ewart, Terry Clark, Dale
Movius, Brad Aitken, Holly Manke, Ken Carson and Jody Stickley.
