Our former neighbors, Don
and Carol Laverty, have sent word
of the arrival of baby boy Scott
Clark on October 22 weighing in
at 7 lb. 3 Oz. and 191/2 inches
long. Carol and Don formerly
lived near the Union River then
moved to the home on Mission
Lake while Carol taught in the
North Mason elementary school
and Don worked in PSNS. The
new home address is 608
Cardinal, Waco, Texas 76710.
Congratulations to the North
Mason High girl's tennis team
taking first place. Two of the
team members, Gwen Pederson
and Jean Fedenk, are on The Old
Belfair Highway. Gwen played
singles and finished out the season
without a loss, and is now eligible
to compete in the state
tournament at a later date. Jean
played on the doubles team with
several top scores and a loss to
stay in the winner's circle.
The Union River
Homemaker's busy calendar
included the induction of two
new members, Vivian Wanalista
and Cheri Garrison; a visit to
Scandia Gaard gift and craft
shops; a coming trip to the
Tacoma Mall this month to just
"buzz around"; and a bake sale
on November 20 at the Belfair
Thriftway store.
These ladies will also take part
at the council meeting for the
annual holiday show on
November 18 at the Sheridan
Park building in Bremerton. The
program from 10 a.m. to 12 noon
will have Linda Amos of King
County speaking of her trip to
Oslo, Norway for the
.International Triennial
Conference of the Associated
Country Women of the World
(homemakers on an international
level). The craft displays by the
various homemaker groups will
be from noon until 2 p.m. Coffee
and cookies will be served.
It seems a bit late to extend
sympathy to the family from the
many friends of our neighbor,
Mrs. Mary Kiezling. In this circle
of friends, each of us has a special
memory of times shared with
Mary that will always be
treasured.
Mrs. Kathy Wilbur called to
say that she is home after the
surgery stint, is feeling much
better, but will be on limited duty
for some time. At this rate, the
holidays will be a lot of fun for
the Wilbur family having Kathy
back.
Congratulations are a bit late
when a busy family is not
available with the news. And so it
goes in the welcome of Kathleen
last October 11 joining the family
of Mr. and Mrs. John Wanalista,
brother Michael, and sisters Lee
Ann and Linda. Kathleen weighed
5 lbs. 9 oz. and measured 18~A''
on her debut.
Last weekend was a family
excursion to Bellingham to visit
our daughter Penny now pushing
for a finale and a degree as a
Spanish major at Western
Washington. Penny and Linda
Tompkins of Port Orchard share
an apartment perched on the hill
above the college campus.
We started off in the early
morning hours to catch the first
ferry at Kingston to be in time to
have breakfast with the girls and
then drove to Vancouver, B.C. for
a fun tour. On learning that
Premier Kosygin of Russia was
also going to be a visitor, our
plans had an abrupt revisal to
avoid the Vancouver Hotel
headquarters and possible protest
groups. The one-way streets, no
left turns, and store locations had
us either going by the police
station or the Vancouver Hotel in
spite of our best efforts to the
contrary. Pedestrians on noting
our "States" license plates were
rather unfriendly at times.
The circulatory system gets a
good workout with the black ice
signs posted on the freeway plus
small cross roads that seem to
have a driver ready and waiting to
cut across the 70 MPH lane.
Pertinent questions were asked as
we crossed the border, but the
return trip featured cars being
searched just like the World War
11 spot checks in the navy yard.
The 1971 OBH Sour Apple
award is a first for Dick Rosenau
for his true and unfailing weather
forecast. When a change of
weather (snow) is imminent,
Dick's knee starts to hurt. Last
Tuesday evening that knee was in
high gear, and we had snow that
same night. It was not much, but
lasted on the lawn and woodpile
for several days.

The Les Krueger garage was
converted into the proper setting
for ghosts, goblins, witches, and
other Halloween creatures. There
was a large crowd of costumed
high school friends bobbing for
apples, dancing to the music and
having a lot of fun. And, needless
to say, they put away a "ton" of
food !
Mrs. Cora Kelly and Mrs.

games and music they ended
another dinner. If anyone would
like to join in the fun at the next
dinner, please call the church.

he had called home to report that
he hadn't gotten a moose, but was
finding it awful cold[
NOT THE SAME ONE
A white wooden boat, blue on
the inside, about 14 feet long,
turned up on North Shore
October 18. The description
matched a boat lost a week earlier
in the DeWatto area, but a check
by deputies of the local Sheriff's
office determined that the found
boat was not the one reported
lost.

While moving last weekend my typewriter got misplaced so there
will be no column this week. As soon as we get things sorted out a little
and life gets back to normal, we hope to locate the elusive machine.
It's not in the freezer, the refrigerator or the bread box, but those
are the only places we've checked for sure.
There are a lot of cardboard boxbs to go through and it could be
under the pile still to be unloaded from the trunk of my car... I'm sure
it will turn up SOMEWHERE.

EVERYTHING WAS MOVED into new quarters at the
former fire station by last week, but dispatcher Onie Sande
(above) and deputies of the Mason County Sheriff's
department still had a lot of work to do before one could say
they were really settled in their new home.
Workers are busy putting on
the finishing touches inside the
almost completed Youth Center
next door to Belfair Community
Baptist Church and committees of
young people and adults are busy
working on plans for a program,
decorations and rules for the
long-awaited Opening Night set
for Friday, November 12,
following the local football game
against Ocosta.
By opening night the Youth
Center is expected to offer, for
the enjoyment of young people
ages 13 through 19, a pool table,
ping pang, stereo tapes, a juke
box, black light posters, a strobe
light, pop machine and kitchen
facilities. For the grand opening
live music will be offered,
featuring the Lodestones, a local
rock group composed of Ron
Sande, Don Beeber, Cliff Hall and
David Duffield. Pizza and pop will
be available for those who worked
up an appetite cheering or playing
during the last Bulldog football
game of the season.
Plans are to have the Center
open on Wednesday evenings
from 7 to 10 p.m., on Fridays
after local games until midnight,
Saturdays from 8 p.m. to 1:00
a.m. and on Sunday afternoons, 1
to 5 p.m. Adults willing to serve
as chaperones during these
periods are asked to contact the
church or Mrs. Ramona Olson,
co-chairman of the Steering
Committee of the Youth Center,
CR5-2956, who says any help will
be greatly appreciated.
She also mentioned that while
most of the labor was volunteer
and much of the material used to
begin the community project was
paid for by the Community
Baptist Church through
contributions and memorials, that
the building was finished with
money borrowed by the Church
which will have to be paid off, so
financial contributions by
residents of the area will also be
gladly accepted.
"Many people have donated
time and materials towards
completion of the Youth Center
and it would be impossible to
name them all but I would like to
give credit to some who were
especially helpful," said Mrs.
Olson. "To Lloyd Suhr for his
electrical work, Warren Johnson
for plumbing, Don Carstenson for
block laying and the fireplace,
Bruce Whitman for cabinet work,
Don Anderson for roofing shakes
and to Harlan Olson, Ted Cook,
Wendell Harder, Vernon Beeson
and Lowell Gunselman for their
hours of labor. Also many thanks
to the women who faithfully
provided a delicious meal after
each Wednesday night work

By last week the fireplace was
almost finished, kitchen

young people have been
undertaking the inside painting
