gyms will be open each Saturday
from 10 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.
This 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 purpose 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 compete against
each other, although the
youngsters will be divided into
equal ability teams 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, basketball,
bombardment, etc.
As the program develops the

The Mason County Sheriff's
Office arrested five persons over
the weekend on charges of
violating the county's minor
forest products ordinance by
hauling Christmas trees without a
bill of sale or hauling permit.

was arrested about 5:45 p.m. Dec.
6 on Highway 3 for transporting
about 100 trees without a permit.

Dec. 15, voters of Mason
County and Grays Harbor County
who are residents of Mary M.
Knight School District No. 311
will vote on a special levy for the
maintenance and operation of the
school.
Polls will be open from 8 a.m.
to 8 p.m. at the Mary M. Knight
School.
In order for the levy to have a
chance of passing, 56 persons
from Mason County and 7 from
Grays Harbor County, who live in
the District, must vote. This
number constitutes the 40 per
cent of voters who voted in the
last General Election in November
required to validate the election.
In order for the levy to pass, 60
per cent of these must vote "yes".
Money from the special levy
will be collected in 1972, but the
District is authorized to begin
using it for payment of necessary
maintenance costs beginning in
January, 1971.
The voters of the School
District authorized the vote at a
public meeting Oct. 21, after
understanding the very serious
nature of the financial condition
of the school.
Absentee ballots are available
at the County Auditor's Office in
Shelton for persons who, for any
reason, are unable to come to the
polls.
