DEAR ABBY: I have a best friend I'll call "Agatha," who has come in for a lot of criticism behind her back because she takes her knitting everywhere she goes. People say Agatha is very rude because she sits in company, knitting away without even picking her head up or saying a word. What they don't know is that Agatha knits all the time so she won't have to look people in the eye or say anything. You see, she is terribly shy, Abby, and self-conscious Please print this so Agatha's friends will understand why she knits all the time, and maybe they will be more understanding and quit criticizing her.

AGATHA'S FRIEND DEAR FRIEND: If you really want to help Agatha, tell her to leave her knitting home and to make an effort to contribute something to the conversation. She needs desperately to build her self-confidence. If Agatha continues to use her knitting needles for "crutches," she'll become even more socially handicapped. DEAR ABBY: Someone gave me what is supposed to be a thorobred German police dog. I have the papers on him, but the older this dog gets the more he looks like a mutt.

How about this? WONDERING DEAR WONDERING: Don't be deceived by his looks. Maybe he's in the secret service. DEAR ABBY: I am a recent divorcee with an unusual problem. My husband's parents are the most wonderful people I have ever known. I couldn't love my own parents more than I love "moms" and "pops," which is what I've always called my in-laws.

Pops paid for my lawyers when I divorced their no-good son, who must have been a throw-back to the apes, but I won't go into that. I am welcome to visit their ranch any time I wish. As an ex-daughter-in-law, what should I call them? And how do I introduce these grand, generous people who were once my in-laws? STUMPED DEAR STUMPED: Continue to call them "moms" and "pops" if you wish. And introduce them by their names. And if, and when, further identification seems necessary, they are your "former in-laws."

Look at the record. Crowded in some areas of the Courthouse have existed for many years and Jail facilities have been sub-standard for at least 20 years.

During this time the County Commissioners have shirked their responsibilities to keep the building in proper repair, especially the jail facilities, and also to provide additional space as it became very apparent that more space for some departments was absolutely essential. Prior to the past 10 years and over a long period pf time the previous Commissioners had the foresight to save for an emergency and had accumulated a Reserve Fund of about $500,000, which to a great extent was squandered for such things as roads to nowhere, rights-of-way and lots of fencing along roadways in the Sequim- Dungeness area. All this squandering of the Taxpayers accumulated savings was done by Commissioners who had full knowledge of the existing and future need of additional floor space for housing the expanding County offices. Now when the condition'becomes? aIrpost unbearable, the have paid $6,500 for pre-planning a building containing almost four times as much usable space as there is in the present building to an architectural firm which has designed a number pf new county buildings in the state with their coffin box precast window design, all practically indentical in appearance. Apparently no consideration has been given to adding to the present building which could be done with a savings of over $1 million plus interest for 20 years.

The present courthouse is structurally sound and contains about 21,000 square feet of which only 14,000 square feet is usable office and storage area. The present building is approximately 70 feet wide by 100 feet long with usable county property extending approximately 120 feet'north to 3rd Street and 90 feet on the south side to 4th Street. An addition containing basement and two floors above, 40' by 70' in size, to the north and south ends of the present building would enhance its appearance and add 16,800 square feet of usable pffice and storage space at the same time. This would leave 80' on the North and 50' on the South for any future expansion. This more than Doubles the present usable area because all added area could be incorporated directly with the present office without the waste of any space for halls.

The addition of 16,800 sa. ft. to the present buildina at a maximum of $24.00 per square toot would not exceed $400,000 total building cost. This would take care of all county space requirements for the foreseeable future. In discussing the jail requirements with Sheriff Polhamus, it was agreed that with an entrance to the basement level at street level on the north addition that the 40'x70' basement area in that wing would give sufficient space for a County Jail.

This would leave the vacated jail area plus the basement unaer the south wing for storage and other miscellaneous uses. Why should the Taxpayers of Clallam County be shackled to a $1,875,000 Bond Issue which will cost with interest over $3 million over a 20-year period, when additions as herein proposed costing not over $400,000 could provide more than ample space for all county facilities? VOTE on COURTHOUSE BOND ISSUE AS PROPOSED Paid for by George C. Rains and Ray H. Peterson.
