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.

Tuson, m his letter, said the
reducation would cost the district
about $28,000 for the current
school year and could be
considerably more than that for
the following year.
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

A charge of second degree

The prescnt elk season may
end up as one of the largest ever,
in several was s. 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

The National Resident
Company of the Seattle Opera
Association will give a
performance of the opera "Ahmal
and the Night Visitors" at the
Junior High Auditorium on
Thursday, December 17, 1970 at
8:00 p.m.
Members of the High School
Swing Choir will perform in the
production. 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.

ill
period of not less than two years.
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

Recreation Area; in the

Area; and the Forks burn

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.

area which would accomodate
about 350 cars and a faculty

accomodate about 100 cars.

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.
