A flyer of planes, a builder of
boats and co-constructor of her
home is Mace Wiss, whose
husband is Retired Navy
Commander Donald Wiss, a
professional pilot.
Born deep in the heart of
Texas, Mace Wiss lived in many
places during the 29 years of her
husband's naval career, the last
five years of which she was
employed as a computer operator
for the Army and Naval Air
Station in Corpus Christi.
Upon the retirement of
Commander Wiss two years ago,
they took a sabbatical flight to
Alaska, returning through the
Shelton area. They decided to
make their home here, upon the
very property on which Donald
Wiss's father had been born.
When Commander Wiss's
grandparents arrived in this area
to homestead, they were
disembarked at Skookum Point.
Later, after the birth of a son, it
was discovered that they were
living on the wrong portion of
land and it was necessary for
them to move to the correct
homestead near Agate.
Twenty years ago. Cmdr. and
Mrs. Wiss bought the original site
of the family home, strictly for
sentimental reasons.
"We had at that time no
thought of living here," said Mrs.
Wiss.
But here they are. They drew
up plans and had them approved
by an architect.
"We did this to keep ourselves
out of trouble," Mace Wiss states.
Through the basic structure
and the roofing, Cmdr. and Mrs.
Wiss worked along with
professional builders. From there,
on they have done all work
themselves with a bit of help now
and then when they have felt the
need of professional advice.
ui
In the Naval Air Station
Hobby Shop in Alameda, Cal. the
fiberglass hull for the "Skookum
Queen", the Wiss's 18 foot cabin
cruiser, was molded; from that
point onward, Mace and her
husband created the boat with
their own hands.
"It is rather unorthodox,"
Mace confesses, "as we built it to
our own design. It suits us
perfectly."
Flying non-stop from
Bellingham to Sitka, Alaska and
returning non-stop to Shelton on
July 5, Cmdr. and Mrs. Wiss and
their daughter, Teri, a recent
graduate of Trinity University in
San Antonio, vacationed for ten
days in Alaska.
At the very end of the very
last day of fishing, Mace's line was
the only one yet in the water, her
hook baited with the very last
herring. It was then that she
caught her first salmon, a 50
pound King. Her prize, along with
a mere 25-pounder and several
smaller ones caught by her
husband, were canned in a
self-service cannery after their
return.

great interest to her.
"I'd like to correct one
popular misconception," she
remarked. "So many people seem
to think that the red kidney bean
is the true Mexican bean, and this
is not so. It's the pinto bean."
She serves her enchiladas with
pinto beans, Mexican wild rice
and a tossed green salad.

Cosmetics
For YOU
MASK TREATMENTS
Q. What does a mask do for the
skin?
A. A mask treatment stimulates
circulation in the skin, thereby
helping to carry away the
impurities that cause oily or
blemished skin.
EFFECT OF
FACE MASKS
Q. How beneficial are face
masks?
A. Almost all face masks
benefit the skin by stimulating
surface blood circulation
temporarily.
Other than this one common
benefit, however, face masks differ in
their purposes and effects. Some
help to cleanse the skin by
sloughing off dead cells from the
surface. Others are designed to firm
and tighten the skin temporarily,
thus helping to conceal tiny lines.
Be sure that you purchase a
face mask formulated to meet your
particular need.

A chandelier and other
wrought iron decorative lamps
were brought from Mexico in
their private plane, and various
ornamental items have been
collected in their travels.
Her hobby was once
photography, but when the
family acquired their first plane in
1962 all other hobbies fell by the
wayside. Mrs. Wiss, at first afraid
of small planes, soon became
enthusiastic.
"We bought a Beech
Bonanza," she states, "and it is
considered the "Cadillac" of
single engine planes."
"It is my impression," she
continued, "that the Beech planes
are of a more professional quality
than most other small ones."
She obtained her private
license in 1966. They now own a
Beech Travel-Air, a twin engine
plane, and Mace Wiss will soon
have her multi-engine rating.
