Set-Up week. Federal money is available under a law passed a couple of years ago to assist law enforcement agencies in upgrading their operations. Robinson said the cost of the radio change would be $44,047.60, with the federal government paying $26,428.56 and the county $17,619.04. The city of Shelton is preparing a similar application for assistance, and, it both are approved, the two departments will make the change at the same time. Robinson said the purpose of the proposal is to modernize the department's communications system and to tie it in with other law enforcement agencies. When the equipment is installed, he said, his department would be able to have communications with the Thurston County centralized communications system, whcih includes the Thurston County Sheriff's Office, and Olympia, Tumwater, Lacey and Tenino police departments and with Grays Harbor, Kitsap and Pierce Counties, and, hopefully with Washington State Patrol. Going to a high band operation, either in the 150 or 450 range, Robinson said, would eliminate a lot of the problems his department has now in radio communications. The new system would give complete or almost complete communication in any area of the county, Robinson said. The present low band equipment leaves a number of dead spots where patrol cars are unable to communicate with the central office. Also eliminated would be the problem of interference from "skips", which, when weather conditions are right, bring in calls from law enforcement agencies on the East Coast and the South. When the application is approved, Robinson said, bids will be taken on the equipment for the new set up. 1817 Olympic Hwy. No. -- Mt.

He suggested the special levy vote to be held Feb. 9, a date agreed on by school officials as a state-wide levy vote day. The Advisory Committee turned the letter over to the finance sub-committee for study and recommendation. Officers elected by the committee for the coming year are Walt Parsons, chairman; Marv Anstey, vice-chairman, and Helen Ruddell, secretary-treasurer. The members of the committee filled out a survey questionaire on their feelings on the school dress code. Similar surveys have been conducted among the faculty and students. The Advisory Committee had been asked by the school board to make a survey of the community on the feelings about the dress and appearance code. The Advisory Committee decided to submit the results of the questionaire the committee members filled out to the school board and state that if the board wanted a more extensive survey, the committee would handle the work if the school district would pay the cost of postage, paper and envelopes for a mail survey. Criminal charges were filed by Prosecuting Attorney John C. Ragan in Mason County Superior Court last week. A charge of grand larceny was filed against Charles Beerbower.He was charged in information flied in the case with taking a tape deck belonging to Michael Mayr from a car in the school parking lot Sept. 9.

Current harvest counts from field stations and on-the-spot checks exceed last year's count at this time by 20 percent. This does not reflect an increase in any special seasons or emphasis on either-sex hunting, but rather a combination of favorable weather and hunting concentration. An unusual increase in illegal shooting of cow elk has also occurred to date this year. In fact, the incidence of violations has become so prevalent that the Game Department is considering, in response to this excessive and flagrant illegal elk killing, introducing legislation to the 1971 Legislature which would impose a much tougher penalty for this type of careless hunting. In addition, the Sports Council has further suggested proposing that organized sports groups throughout Washington formu,ate increased educational programs to inform the elk hunter on how this problem could be alleviated. One proposal suggested would prohibit a person, after being first convicted of killing a cow elk illegally, or having forfeited bail after having been charged with this offense, from purchasing a state hunting license for a • • Members of the Shelton School Advisory Committee got a look at one preliminary plan for the new Shelton High School from Architect John Richards at a special meeting of the group last week.

Tickets for the performance will go on sale the first week in December. This opera is a well-known Christmas presentation which can be enjoyed by young and old alike. It will also afford the people of Shelton and Mason County the opportunity to see first-rate opera. The production will be the first of its kind offered in this community. As a sidelight, the Seattle Opera Company is rated as the fifth finest opera company in the United States. It has achieved this high ranking by consistently presenting entertaining productions for residents of the Puget Sound area.

This year in the Yakima-Kittitas region of the state, excessive instances of cow elk killings have occurred. These violations are made possible partly because elk are "herd" animals and occur in large numbers when found by hunters. The incidence of killing cows when shooting at a legal bull is greatly increased under these circumstances. Excessive cow elk killings in this portion of Washington this season are due to unusual weather conditions bunching elk at lower elevations, and thereby exposing large herds to more hunters than on a normal year. A combination of early shows throughout the region on October 20, plus increased logging activity in the Colockum to salvage partly burned logs caused by summer forest fires, had pushed the region's elk herds below timberline earlier than normal. Areas where unreasonable numbers of cow elk killings have occurred in Washington this past week include: the sagebrush regions of the lower Colockum Wildlife Recreation Area; the lower reaches of Colemen, Caribou, and Naneum creeks in Kittitas county; lower sections of the Wenas Valley; lower'drainages of Oak creek and Rattlesnake ig creek on the Oak Creek Recreation Area; in the and Taneum drainages of T. Murray Wildlife Area; and the Forks burn of the Olympic Peninsula. eastern Washington areas particularly cr( vded with hunters and the these areas is con even under maximum The number of known to be killed season runs from an 150 animals to a high one 288. In the first three 1970 season, over 100 coWS killed illegally in south Washington alone. Since the elk season on the State Game Departn issued 3 1 citations violation. The excessive killing 0f elk in a particular area hunting opportunity several elk seasons. Of more cow elk illegally the start of the season, a 50 bull calfs, which been born next spring, have eliminated. This year the Department is ex a voluntary group of sportsmen to be its ears" in reporting this violation. for about three months. The preliminary plans, he said, were certainly not the final ones and would s~e changes after discussion with the school board and meetings with members of the Shelton High School faculty. Richards met with faculty members Friday to discuss the plans. Included in the preliminary plans which shows a main parking area which would accomodate about 350 cars and a faculty p arking area which would accomodate about 100 cars. The buildings were centered around a resource center which would include the library and other facilities. The buildings are designed, Richards said, with a 1 0-foot roof overhand which would serve as covered walkways. Where these do not connect , he said, covered walkways were provided so that anyone going from one building to another Postal Route Number Is ,hanged The number of the Shelton Post Office Star Rt. 2 is being changed to Rt. 10, Postmaster Frank McGuire said this week. For many years, McGuire said, the existance of a Rt. 2 and a Star Rt. 2 from the local post office has caused confusion. The change is being made, he said, to eliminate this problem. Some box numbers on the route will be changed also, he said, to get away from letters following numbers. A Star Route is one on which the mail is carried on a private contract, McGuire said. A regular rural route is serviced by a driver who is under civil service and who is paid a regular salary plus a vehicle allowance. The route will continue to be operated as a star route, McGuire said, and patrons can designate their addresses as either Rt. 10 or Star Rt. 10, whichever they wish. would be under a roof at times.
