FROM THE ARCHIVES — July 25, 1975: Hamiltons' messages on file in courthouse: The Hamilton Farms sign, familiarly known as the “Uncle Sam” billboard, as designed to “advertise the defendants' agricultural products,” according to an interrogators' reply on file in the Lewis County Clerk's Office. In answer to State Attorney General Slade Gorton's questions, the reply states the sign, off the freeway near Chehalis, was erected for Alfred R. and Ruth M. Hamilton and has been in operation since Dec. 9, 1974. It is visible from the freeway, other roads and the air. Messages carried on the sign, not necessarily in proper sequence, since the sign has been in operation, follow: • Hello Americans! We're glad to be back. Hi Folks! Hope you missed us like we missed you. • Non-Red or Pink Springer for sale. Non-Communist straw for sale. • Who would work so hard to gain ‘People Control? • Why Spend Millions to replace Green Hill School? • Land control is a step toward ‘People Control.’ Barbershop harmony R.E. Bennett School, March 14 and 15. • Who would work so hard to gain ‘People Control?’ Urge legislators to repeal the ‘Forest Practices Act.’ • SB2417 repeals the ‘Forest Practices Act.’ Sign initiative 309, repeal Shoreline Management Act. • Urge legislators to repeal ‘Forest Practices Act.’ • Gun control (Registration) is ‘people control.’ Land control (land use planning) is ‘people control.’ • ’State Gov't. vs. free expression. There are no billboards in Russia or Red China. The sign is now two billboards, erected in a v-shape, and the advertising and messages are visible to both southbound and northbound freeway traffic. The messages can be similar or different as the above sign messages indicate. The state has again filed suit against the Hamiltons to have the sign removed. The state was successful in its battle to have the original "Uncle Sam" sign removed. The Hamiltons, via petitions and letters to the editor, are receiving much local support in favor of the sign and the Hamilton's right to express their views.
