Bench warrants were ordered
issued for Edward Johnston and
Grant O. Hartline in Superior
Court Friday.
The warrants were ordered by
Judge Frank Baker on a motion
by Prosecuting Attorney John C.
Ragan.
They were convicted of traffic
violations in a Superior Court jury
trial last February. They had
appealed Justice Court
convictions on the charges.
After the trial, both were
given jail sentences by the court
but were not committed
immediately.
They have tailed to snow up to
serve their sentences, Prosecuting
Attorney John C. Ragan told the
court in asking for the bench
warrants.
Robert Selby, Shelton,
charged with possession of
dangerous drugs, appeared in
court Friday morning on a bench
warrant issued the previous week.
Judge Frank Baker told Selby
he had been informed by his
(Selby's) court-appointed
attorney Fred Gentry, Olympia,
that Selby had been
uncooperative about contacting
the attorney to discuss his case
which is scheduled for the
February Jury Term.
Selby told the court he had
attempted to contact Gentry, but
he had been unable to do so.
Judge Baker told the youth
Gentry was willing to continue as
his attorney if Selby would
cooperate, and ordered the youth
to make every effort to contact
the attorney as soon as possible.
Frank E. Ori, changed his plea
from not guilty to guilty on a
charge of grand larceny by check.
Judge Baker ordered a
pre-sentence report on Ori. On a
motion from Ori's attorney, bail
was reduced to $1,000 pending
completion of the report.
Judge Baker continued until
Jan. 8 the case of Donald
Doelker, 18, Seattle, charged with
grand larceny by possession of a
stolen automobile.
Doelker told the court he had
been unable to obtain an attorney.

approval came after two motions,
both intended to lessen the
amount of money the non-high
districts will contribute, were
defeated.
The first, made by Laurence
Bedell, was to accept the proposal
for all parts of the construction
which were eligible for state
matching money. This motion
died for lack of a second.
The second motion was made
by Streckenback as the same basis
as Bedell's and to include the
swimming pool as part of the
project which the non-high
districts would not have to
participate in. The motion was
seconded by Bedell and was
defeated by a vote of 3-2.

It will. take a strong closing
rally to put the 1970 Christmas
basket fund over its $1,000 goal.
Tuesday morning (due to the
Journal's advanced deadline this
week) the 40 & 8-Journal
Christmas project had
accumulated only $657 toward
that target figure.
With delivery of the food and
toy baskets scheduled only 48
hours after this writing, the $347
needed to attain goal would have
to come in a hurry, although late
contributions can do the trick just
as well as those arriving before .the
project's actual completion.
Sixteen contributors since last
week's report raised the fund
from its $443 figure of that time,

District proposal in May, and,
after the 1970 assessed valuations
for each district were completed
in September, the division of the
amount of money each district
would have to contribute was
decided. The amount of money is
based on the assessed valuation of
each of the districts.
The county committee held
hearings in each of the
participating non-high districts
during October and November to
give residents in those districts a
chance to express their opinions.
If the proposal is approved by
the State Board at its January
meeting, this will mean the
non-high districts will be voting
on bond issues for their shares
sometime around the middle or
end of March.

The Shelton District, after its
voters approved the bond issue in
November, 1969, hired the
Tacoma Architectual Firm of Lee,
Pearson and Richards to design
the proposed new building.
The architects came up with
the estimated cost of $5,183,841
which was used in arriving at the
amount of money each of the
non-high districts will be asked to
contribute.
The architects have continued
with the planning work, and, have
met with the Shelton School
Board, members of the
administration and faculty of the
high school to get their thinking
on what should be included in the
new facility.
Preliminary planning work
will continue until the non-high
district votes are completed.
Preliminary plans cannot be
turned in to the State Board until
after the non-high votes have been
completed.
State matching money will be
available at the rate of about 28
per cent of the parts of the
project the state will match.
Items which the state will not
match include site purchase, site
preparation, equipment and
furniture, covered grandstands,
bleachers and some other items.

$10 contributions came from Mr. Streckenback made at the county
