Kytta, 16, 626 Grandview, Shelton, comfortable before loading him in the ambulance after the motor bike he was riding collided with a car at J St. and Highway 101 Friday about 11:15 a.m. The Washington State Patrol, which investigated the accident, said Kytta suffered a severe double compound fracture of his right leg and scratches and bruises in the accident. He was taken to Mason General Hospital. The State Patrol said Kytta was north bound on Highway 101 when a car driven by Joe Weddle, 16, Rt. 3, Box 720, made a left turn from J St. onto the highway into his path. There was about $50 damage to the 1965 car and $100 damage to the motor bike. Thursday, November 26, 1970 Published in Shelton, Wash.

Santa Claus will arrive in Shelton for his first visit of the season Friday night and to assist in turning on the lights on the large, live Christmas Tree on the Post Office lawn.

He will be on hand there each Friday evening and Saturday afternoon until Christmas. The lights were strung on the big tree last weekend by the Jaycees, assisted by the Exceptional Foresters. 4 Sections -- 28 Pages Ten Cents Per Copy manufacturers are considering going to nitrates in their products. While nitrates will not cause the same problems as phosphates, he said, they would get into lakes through septic tanks and add to the supply of nutrients for algae growth. About 75 persons, mostly residents around the five lakes ir~ the study, attended the meeting. Funk said he had received approval from his superiors to continue the lake testing project in Mason County. MRS. H. G. WHEELER of Phillips Lake displays the divice she put together to sample water in the lake for the series of tests which were conducted the past several months. (More pictures on page 2). Prosecuting Attorney John C. Ragan said Tuesday he planned to recommend to the Belfair Fire District Commission that another election be held on a bond issue which was voted on Nov. 3. The bond issue passed by three votes, 469 yes to 307 no, with 466 needed for a 50 per cent majority. Ragan said the county canvassing board had no authority to call the election invalid, and could only certify to the mathematics of the election on the ballots which were cast. The question arose when the polling places ran out of ballots on election day and some eligible vot~,rs did not get to vote on the bond issue. Additional ballots were taken to the polling places when the shortage was discovered, but, some persons had already voted on the main ballot and had left by the time the new supply arrived. State Election Supervisor Ken Gilbert said his office had no authority to declare an election invalid. The only one who can do that is a Superior Court Judge if a taxpayer's suit is brought against • the fire district. Ragan said he planned to attend the regular meeting of the Belfair Fire District Commission tonight to present his Board To Meet There will be a special study session of the Intermediate School District 113 Board of Education Dec. 1, At 6:30 p.m. at the Golden Carriage Restaurant, Olympia. Many patients will be spending Thanksgiving day at Mason General Hospital, but nonetheless, their Thanksgiving day dinner will be very complete. Of course, the doctors will try to have as many of their patients as possible go home by Thanksgiving. However, the hospital food service department will provide "Grandma's cooking". According to Mrs. Gertrude Robertson, the patients will be provided with all the fixings including fresh roast turkey supreme, cornbread stuffing, whipped potatoes, creamed onions and peas, multi-layered pineapple-cranberry salad, mincemeat and pumpkin pie. Naturally, there will also be cranberry sauce, relishes, dilly rolls, milk, coffee or tea. In true gourmet style the holiday menu will also provide a breakfast of fresh grapefruit, malto meal, French toast with ham, coffee, tea or milk. In the evening, for those patients who did not over-indulge at dinner there will be available oyster stew, swiss steak, baked potatoes, string beans, fruit salad, cookies, bread and butter, coffee, tea or milk. Mrs. Robertson will also provide one additional dinner to recommendation. Another factor in calling for a new election, he said, would be that while the election might stand if not challenged in court, bond firms would be reluctant to sell the bonds if the possibility of a suit existed. This is particularly true in the present tight money market, Ragan said. The Allyn Fire District faces a similar situation where a shortage of ballots occured on a bond issue, but, the Allyn district's bond issue lost by two votes of getting the necessary 60 per cent majority. McClanahan ,d In Recount The recount of votes in the Mason County Prosecuting Attorney race failed to change the final results which gave the position to Democrat Byron McClanahan over Republican Incumbent John C. Ragan. In the final tally of the recount, McClanahan received 3,559 votes to 3,522 for Ragan, giving him a 37 vote margin. McClanahan led in the final tally of the general election vote by 39 votes. Ragan asked last week for a recount. The recount was started Monday and completed Tuesday afternoon. Ragan has held the position for one term after defeating McClanahan four years ago. McClanahan had held the position 12 years up until that time. the patients' husband or wife or a close relative who will not be able to have Thanksgiving dinner elsewhere. Although for some patients the foregoing Thanksgiving day menu may be correct, special attention will be given to those patients whose doctors have prescribed a therapeutic diet. So, for the patients at Mason General Hospital it will be like "off to Grandmother's house we go for Thanksgiving dinner." Thanksgiving The Mason County Ministerial Association has planned a Community Thanksgiving Service for Nov. 25 at 7:30 p.m. at the United Methodist Church of Shelton. Several churches will be participating in the worship service. The Thanksgiving message will be shared by several laymen representing different Churches of the community. Everyone is welcome to come and lift their voices in praise and thanksgiving and share in community Christian fellowship. ?!:
