A DEPUTY SHERIFF, on
the right, directs traffic as
others work to make David
S. 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.

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.

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.
