HOLD HEARING
ON LAKE HEIGHT

Public hearing on a proposal to
regulate the height of water in
Lake Steilacoom was held Thurs
day before Superior Judge Z. d.
Hodge with TO outstanding protest
from property owners on the lake
or on Clover Creek below the
outlet.
Lake property owners. repre-
scented by Attorney Norton Clapp,
seek to have a summer lake level
fixed at three feet nine inches
above bottom OF the south end
outlet, with all distractions in the
culvert TO be removed in the
winter to lower the lake.
The plan calls for raising the
lake to its summer level between
April / and April Is, when high
water in the stream will allow
continuous flow below the dam.
Lowering of the lake would begin
Oct. l and continue slowly for a
month so no damage would be
done below. 1t. Col Ronald D.
Johnson of Steilacoom lake ex-
planned the plan. which he said
was endorsed by most property
owners.
William w. Phillips. who oper-
ates a fish hatchery on the lower
creek, said he had no objection
TO the plan as long as it did not
cut off the flow of water at any
time. Among others taking the
stand were f. A. White, county
road engineer, who expressed the
county's viewpoint, that it has no
objection as long as the plan
doesn't add any more to county
and Charles Barthelet,
of the state hydraulics department,
which would be called upon to take
responsibility for regulating the
lake level.

SMALL SAUCERS AND
TEASPOONS

Dear Mrs. Post: At a friends
house the other day, peas were
served in a small vegetable dish

I noticed the family ate theirs with

same meat fork | was using but it
was rather difficult, / must admit,
to get the peas out of the little
dish with fork. When peas are
served this way is a spoon sup
posed to be the better implement
TO use Or should | have removed
the peas from the saucer to my
plate?
Answer: Since the little saucer
for vegetables is not according
to correct table service, the ques-
ton of whether you add to the
tabu by using teaspoon has
small Importance. If you are going
to eat from saucer, you might
as well eat with a spoon. I think
it would be very rude. on the
other hand. to criticize your
hostess service by removing the
peas from the saucer TO your
plate, which you quite properly do
