a tent support was constructed
using sheer lashings. The fire place
was set aglow with the aid of
colored paper and a light bulb
,while Pine incense burned under
it.
I n s t it utional Representative
Erik Tokar gave a rundown of the
Boy Scouts activities during their
first year which was recently
completed.
At 6 a.m. Saturday morning
eight Boy Scouts and three
committee men departed
[toodsport for the Big Quil Trail.
The first day they hiked six miles
to Camp Mystery where they set
up camp. That evening a hike was
taken to the top of the pass where
they could see lights of all the
cities from Everett to Victoria,
B.C.
On the second day they rose to
find their breakfast meat had
spoiled so Erik Tokar set out to
catch fish for breakfast. Erik
caught three fish which were
quickly snatched away by a sly
weasel or mink. A snare trap was
set, but the little varmit had had
his breakfast, so didn't return.
Well this didn't hold up the
hike, the group continued on
through Buckhorn Pass to
Buckhorn Lake where camp was
set up. The Alpine Meadows were
in full bloom and three colors of
Indian Paint Brush even impressed
the boys.
The sixteen mile hike led the
group to the Tubal Cain Mine and
an old airplane wreck. Dona
O'Neil and Donna Simmons met
the Boy Scouts at Silver Creek
Shelter Monday evening. Then it
was back to Hoodsport before the
soaking rains hit the area.

The Tiny Tim Orthopedic
Guild held its first regular meeting
of the year this Wednesday.
President Mrs. R. M. Sharpes
presided over the meeting which
was hosted by Mrs. Dick Allen.
Proceeds from the Guild's fund
raising projects go to the Mary
Bridges Children's Hospital in
Tacoma.
Michael Simmons, Wade
Johnston and Kenneth Drake had
a bout with a nest of
yellow-jackets this past week.
Swarming with bees the children
hurried to Kenny's home where
they jumped in the bath tub and
showered at the same time. Three
boxes of soda was plastered over
the boys as mothers pulled the
stinging bees from their hair.
Covered with stings, Michael
and Kenny were taken to the
hospital where they underwent
two hours of observation before
being released with some
medicine.
Ice-bags covering the swollen
stings that ranged from head to
toe relieved the pain and swelling,
but dampened the beds as the boys
spent a restless night. No more
hikes are being planned and the
Finch Creek logging road is being
cautiously avoided until the winter
snows fall.
Mr. and Mrs. Jon Bisson and
children will be moving from
Hoodsport to Medford, Ore. this
Friday. Carole is anxiously
awaiting their move to the dryer
climate and recently purchased
home with barn and acreage. Jon
will be working for the Bureau of
Land Management in Medford.
Fellow forest service workers at
Hoodsport will bid farewell to the
Bisson family at a salmon
barbecue, to be given in,, their
honor this evening.
Misty Bloomfield treated his
family to an airplane ride Sunday.
All summer the children had been
awaiting the day that dad could
take time out from logging for a
flight over the Olympics and
Puget Sound.
Donna, David and Vicky
lifted off with Misty at the Port
Townsend Airport. Their flight
took them over the Olympics and
around the Kitsap area before
setting down at Sanderson Field.
In the meantime Nancy and
the other kids drove home to

Hoodsport to await a phone call
so they could take a flight. Little
Douglas anxiously awaiting a call
from Dad for word of his turn, sat
patiently and unnoticed in the
corner of the bedroom holding
the phone receiver in his hand. In
the meantime everyone else stood
by the kitchen phone. A call to
the neighbors rescued everyone so
they rushed to the airport to meet
dad who was restlessly awaiting
their arrival.
So finally Doug got his first
airplane ride along with mother
and sisters Pare and Shannon. He
wiggled around under the seat
belt as the plane lifted off, but
soon became bored with his new
experience and decided that high
in the sky, despite some air
pocket disturbances, was as good
a place as any to nap.
Nancy Bloomfield will be
writing the Hoodsport News
starting with the next issue. Please
give her a phone call at 877-9242.
At this time I would like to thank
the community for the assistance
they have given me in providing
news this summer. I am sure my
family will miss not hearing the
phone ring or the typewriter
jotting out words at 2 a.m., but
getting acquainted with local
residents and enjoying their
vacations with them has been fun.
So again thank-you for sharing
your activities with all of us.

HARSTINE - Once again it's
that time of the year to put on
your dancing slippers and head
for the ol' Harstene Hall for an
evening of fun and kickin' the old
hind leg. Walt Allen and his
Country Western Band will be
providing the music for the foot
stompin' and chin skinnin' for all
of you nice folks. The members
of the Island's Social Club will be
at the Hall to make sure
everything runs smoothly and
that everyone has a good time. So
we'd love to see the Harstene Hall
brim-full and overflowing this
coming Saturday evening, starting
along about 9 p.m. until 2 a.m.
Gals get out your calendars,
or jot down a mental note in your
noggin'. The first Women's Club
meeting of the fall following
summer vacation has been
postponed one week. The place
will be the same though. Our
hostess for the September
meeting, to be held Thursday,
September 9th, will be Eileen
Cruickshank. So drag your heels a
bit or you and Eileen will both be
surprised if you forget and go to
Club today.
Would all you folks really like
to know why the Fall rains
started precisely when they did
this week? It just has to be
because the Glenn Yates' family
decided to tear off half of their
roof this past weekend, that's
why !
Last Friday Lisa and I
performed a very sad task, that of
joining with other friends and
family to pay our respects to a
very dear friend. She had that
special knack of working herself
into one's heart before one had
really gotten to know her very
well. And how the children all
adored her. Some of the older
ones at Pioneer seemed to think
she was rather gruff at times. But
she once remarked, 'all I really
want from them is respect, and
I'm going to do my level best to
get their respect.'
Dorothy once came to the
Island and helped make an
already special occasion even
more special. The occasion was
Lisa's seventh birthday and Mrs.
Zickrick came as a surprise to
Lisa. We enjoyed that day so very
much, and I regret deeply for
having failed to make a special
effort to have her come back,
although there was always an
open invitation to pop in
anytime, which she knew.
For this writer, as well as her
many other friends, there is going
to be a big hole in our lives. And
that hole will be especially felt
whenever I walk through those
school doors.
At her funeral, held at the St.
Edwards Church on Friday, it was

announced that the teachers were
putting on a luncheon following
the services at the cemetery.
However, this was an error and I
had a call asking me to let
everyone know that it was the
Pioneer P.T.O. that made the
arrangements for the luncheon. A
very sincere thank you to all who
helped on that much appreciated
act of kindness.
Raymond and Margaret
McCulloch enjoyed an overnight
visit the first of this week from
some old fishing friends. The
visitors, the Tom Burks, hail from
DesLoge, Missouri. There was just
one problem with the visit, - it
was much too short. For the
travelers arrived on Monday and
by Tuesday were on their way
north to see Vancouver Island
while they were in this area.
About a week ago Gret and
Gordon Simmons had a busy day.
Early in the afternoon Merle and
Anita Hall, of Shelton, dropped in

evening and enjoy dinner with
Gret and Gordon.
