Single copies - 15¢ By ROBERT CUMMINGS Number of Attorneys Show Decline In Legislature; Other Cha reported that Dale Hastings, chairman of the Tri-County Fair Board, and Jay Edson, president of the Othello Rodeo Association, have been select- ed as the parade chairmen. Four contestants for the Miss Othello Rodeo queen title were named this week and a new roof was going up on the stands at the grounds as plans progressed for the 1974 edition of the Othello Rodeo Cowboy Association-approved rodeo. The queen candidates are Charlotte Lloyd, Keeta Wright, Lonnie Nimey and Linda Rickman, all of Othello. The new Royal High School officially opened its doors here OLYMPIA- The shortage of attorneys on the House Judiciary Committee, which caused considerable concern last legislative session, threatens to spread to the Senate committee next year. Senate Democrats have , laywers to spare, but unless they can elect some more lawyers in the coming election, the Republicans will come up short in the next legislature. They currently have four top grade attorneys on Judi- ciary Committee. But Frank Atwood, Bellingham; Robert i Twigg, Spokane, and Perry Woodall, Toppenish, aren't running for reelection. Their departures could leave George Clarke, Mercer Island, as the only attorney in the Republican minority. An- other Republican attorney , who wasn't on Judiciary Com- mittee, Senator Jonathan Whetzel,Seattle, isalso retiring. Well Supplied The Democrats are losing ~, Martin Durkan, Issaquah, but ?. they have three others, who currently aren't on Judiciary, to fill the gap. These are Dan ; Marsh, Vancouver, Gordon ~ Walgren, Bremerton, and Nat "~" Washington, Ephrata. There also is August Mardesich, Everett, but as long as he is floor leader, he is ,, too busy to serve on that " committee. This same situation exists in the tIouse, where Speaker Leonard A. Sawyer, Sumner, : and Majority Leader Robert C Charette, both attorneys, lack the time to serve on Judiciary, leaving that committee with . only six lawyers among 12 members. Retirement of Axel Julin, • R., Bellevue, could reduce that figure to five. The coming ' election could produce some additional attorneys, but few- er than usual are running this year. Their profession is affected by the public dis- closure law {Initiative 276) more than any other. Reshuffling Due Retirements will cause con- siderable "reshuffling in the Senate. The Republicans are losing three members off the powerful Rules Committee. : Atwood and Woodall are among the stalwarts, and a third member, Ted Peterson, Seattle also is retiring. Two of the vacancies probably will be filled by Charles E. Newschwander, Tacoma, and Jim Matson, Selah. If Robert Bailey, South Bend, is elected to Congress, that will leave a vacancy on the Democratic side, and it also could lead to some leadership changes. Mardesich might relinquish the floor leadership to take Bailey's place as caucus chair- man. Likely successors to the floor leadership could be William S. Day, Spokane, or Walgren. Other Changes Possible Retirement of Senator Frank Connor, Seattle, leaves chairmanship of the Labor Committee open. That could go to Gary Grant, Renton. Grant's present chairman- COMING AT THE ° SttOWttOUSE THE GREAT GATSBY 22-23-24 LION'S PARK I I ship of the Constitution and Elections Committee probably would go to Peter yon Reich- bauer, Vashon. Dan Marsh, Vancouver, would be willing to give up his seat on Rules Committee to become chairman of Judiciary, but that could hinge on willingness of the present chairman, Pete Francis, Seat- tle, to make the switch. Quiet But Intense Because the competition is pretty much ho-hum, the U.S. Senate primary in this state hasn't attracted much in- terest. But there is another statewide contest on the ballot which attracted little atten- tion, but is of equal impor- tance. It involves the five-way race Position No. 1 on the Supreme Court, left open by the pending retirement of Justice Frank Haley. Candidates are Appelate Justices Charles SHorowitzs, Seattle, and Harold J. Petrie, Olympia; King County Su perior Court Judge Francis E. Holman, Seattle; Bob Corn fort, Gig Harbor, and Liem Tuai, Seattle. Endorsements Divided Both Horowitz and Petrie haVie campaigned the entire state. Horowitz has been endorsed by a majority of the State Bar Association and has the support of the Teamsters' Union. Petrie has been endorsed by the State Labor Council, AFL-CIO, and the Washington Education Association. The other three are less known statewide. Holman is best known for his cham- pionship of tax reform as a state senator. Comfort un- doubtedly will get a large vote frm Pierce county, where the Comfort family has long been highly respected in the legal profession, and Tuai is well known as a former Seattle councilman. Unless one of the candidates wins a majority in the primary, which seems un- likely, the two top vote getters will face each other in the general election. Land Use Shaping Up Though most land de- velopers are adamantly op- posed to any kind of land use legislation, some of them have been convinced it is inevitable. Some of them consequently are now working with the House Local Government Committee, seeking com- promises to make the legisla- tion more palateable. The committee has before it a bill which is briefer and much more readily understandable than the complex, voluminous measure which Gov. Dan Evans sought unsuccessfully to get through the last session. The committee's bill is favored by most as preferable to the Governor's bill, and the committee members are wil- ling to compromise on some points. But Rep. Joe Haussler, the committee chairman, insists that major features of the bill shall be retained. These include provisions h)r local control, protection of agricul- tural kind, and containment of /ll'hil I/ .prowl. ~nother Poll \~ h~i, lhv professional poli- 1WI,t ::- ,tl't' conducting their ,!:~(Itttua! l.()lls of the voters, ~h, [h)u~,.

The questionnaire was prompted by a divergence of opinion expressed at a recent hearing. Security officers for large retail office generally opposed the proposal, saying the criminal statute is ade- quate as a deterrent, and stolen merchandise is usually recovered. Others favored the civil liability proposal, saying it would be a better deterrent, especially against amateur shoplifters, and would avoid stigmatizing juveniles through criminal action. Tuesday with enrollment at the facility reaching 250 students in the combined senior and junior high facility. Principal Karl Kallenberger explained that enrollment in the high school section totals 150 with the additional 90 students in the seventh and eighth grades. With summer now behind us we face another new school year. My hope is that the summer treated you well and that you are as eager as I am to see what this year will bring. Each fall signals another beginning. However, many times, the only really new "'things" one can expect of the new year is a fresh crop of young people. This year, though, I feel we have many new and exciting activities unfolding. I would like to share with you comments on a few of those which I feel are quite significant. ~- ...... oo ~;~: The dist~ict has been' fortunate to receive several special funding grants to try experimental programs to help special students. Included in new special programs are reading assis- tance classes and vocational classes for handicapped stu- dents at the high school level. Vocal music and art have been restored to the elective programs for all students in the junior and senior high schools. The junior high day has been returned to six hours of class work from the five as in the last two years. Kindergarten has been re- stored to six sections with an average of about 29 students a section at this time of year. IF YOUR SEPTIC TANK DOESN'T WORK CALL US. Othello Radiator and Septic Tank Service located at 1900 South Broadway is owned and operated by Audy Johnston and his two sons, Rick and Pete. The Johnstons have been in the s~iptic tank pumping service in this area since 1964. Audy Johnston pointed out that in addition to serving Othello, they also take calls from Connell, Lind and Royal City. "This is a good time of the year to have your septic tank checked before freezing weather sets in," Audy said. "We are equipped with a 1600 gallon pumping truck and will come to your home or farm for fast service on septic tank cleaning. We are ' both licensed and bonded," Audy said. The number to call for a free estimate on septic tank cleaning in the Othello, Connell, Royal City or Lind areas is 488-2762. LET US CHECK YOUR SEPTIC TANK BEFORE FREEZING WEATHER SETS IN. FREE ESTIMATES I Plans for the opening of the first permanent chiropractic practice in Othello were announced this week by a Moses Lake man. A.D. (Dan) Dearie, Moses Lake, is sche- duled to open practice here in offices at 16 North First avenue, adjacent to the Peoples National Bank later this month. FIFTEEN YEARS AGO September 10,1959 Larry Shaw, 18, recently received word that he has been accepted at Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah, under an educational scholarship. Following a short vacation to his hometown in Rupert, Ida., he will leave for the university. Shaw came to Othello in 1955 with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Shaw. Lynn, Kenneth Ramm, Ed Hetterle Sr. and Gene Bicart, working in Othello, and C. Elmer Beebe who will work in the rural area. ************* TWENTY YEARS AGO September 10, 1954 The Othello High School set another record this year on the opening day with 145 students showing up for a nose-count last Tuesday. The seventh and eighth grade rooms were filled with more than 100 students for the year's debut. The high school figure is expected to pass the 160 mark within the next several weeks, according to principal Don Landers. High school is being held in the Lutacaga elementary school this year awaiting the con- struction of a new high school building on the old high school site. Mr. and Mrs. C.O. Bickley of Yakima have opened the new Tastee Freez drive in on East Main street this week. The Bickleys are formerly of Yakima, but have moved to Othello. He is a former secre- tary for the Teamsters Union. This is their first business venture of this sort. Just west of the drive in is a new Richfield gas station which has also just opened for Mrs. Ida Beebe, county business. The station is co-chairman of the Dollars for operated by Ken Pierce of Democrats drive scheduledOthello and Rick Renn, form- later this month is holding a erly of Warden. breakfast meet for all local chairmen and workers. She has appointed Bob Cole as city coordinator and Mrs. Ida Malone as rural co-ordinator for this area. Precinct com- mitteemen, who are also area, leaders, are E.K. Reynolds, ~.--~ Dr. Juanita Patterson, Francis Each section has a teacher and an aide. The advisory Committee on the Modernization of Lutacaga School has done much work and will report to the Board of Directors. This is the first school modernization project in the district. Prior to this only new additions had been considered. The mathematics program is receiving a basic series of materials to be used in grades K through 8. This will bring a coordinated sequential pro- gram of mathematical instruc- tioa far the fixst Jmne in this district. We have been able to make these improvements and to hold on to the best elements of good 3nstruction in the schools for your children because of the needed help from the levy package approved by District 147-163-55 voters in March. The educational strife known in many school districts within the state during the last two years has been a thing not welcomed to Othello by your school employees. All in all it is an exciting year just beginning. May it be a happy and beneficial one for each young person whose life we touch this year. /s/ Thorns B.
