This Friday night will see the culmination of many
dreams and many, many hours of hard work when the local
Youth Center opens its doors to the young people of the
community as a place for teenagers "to go.'"
Although the land and most of the materials and labor
which have made the long-awaited Center a reality have been
donated by the Belfair Community Baptist Church and its
members, the building will be open to all teenagers in the
area, not just Church members.
The North Mason area has needed a place for teenagers
to meet and "do their thing" for a long time. On behalf of
the community, the Herald wishes to thank all the dedicated
workers who turned out week after week to work on the
project. Without their help and the volunteer labor of several
specialists, the building would probably not be much beyond
the blueprint stage.
It still isn't paid for completely. The adults who have
been working for the Center have had to borrow money to
complete it, so donations from individuals or groups will be
welcome. And continued volunteer labor will be needed by
adults to chaperone the Center during the times it will be
open.
The rest is up to the teenagers. Whether all the money
and labor has been spent in vain will be determined by the
acceptance of the Center by local teenagers. The success of
the project is up to them.
For too long a time the lament of the local youth has
been "There's no place to go and nothing to do."
Okay, now you have a place to go; it will be up to you to
support and help plan activities to interest your fellow
teenagers, to suggest changes or improvements if some are
needed, to help with supervision of any fellow teenagers who
might try to bend the rules or deface the property.
A lot of fun-filled hours throughout the coming years can
be spent by the young people of North Mason in the Youth
Center. A handful of adults have done more than their share
in providing the youth with this opportunity to have a local
hangout.
We wish the teenagers a successful "Opening Night" this
Friday night and many good times in the weeks and years
ahead in their own special building.
F ourteen-year old Thomas
Johnson, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Warren Johnson of Belfair,
received the Eagle award, highest
rank to be earned by a Boy Scout,
at a special Eagle Court of Honor
held in Belfair Tuesday night. He
was the third Boy Scout from
Belfair's Troop 513 to earn the
award in its over-thirty years of
existence. Last year his brother,
Joey, was the second scout to be
honored for achieving the Eagle
rank.
Although only 2 1 merit
badges are required for the rank,
Thomas has earned 24. He
beleives he learned something
from working for each one of
them. During his membership in
the troop, Thomas has served as
Quartermaster, scribe, assistant
Patrol leader, patrol leader,
assistant senior .patrol leader,
senior patrol leader, librarian and
instructor. He has been working
for his Eagle award for about a
year and a half, ever since earning
the Life award.
Two more Johnson boys are
working towards the same high
honor. Gary, 12, has reached the
second class; Bruce, 11, is just
starting out as a tenderfoot. The
four boys also have a sister,
Tracy, 9.
Scoutmaster for Troop 513 is
Dillon Fisher• Harry Lohman was
the committee chairman in charge
of arrangements for the Eagle
Court of Honor, presented by the
National Council of the Boy
Scouts of America.

Letters to
Editor, Huckleberry Herald:
May we make a plea to the
community?
Please, please turn in any and
all names of local servicemen. We
of the Belfair Fire Auxiliary
appreciate this help from you.
These boys will be away from
home over the holidays and we'd
like to let them know we're
thinking of them and share a little
happiness. Please take time to
care.
We need names of overseas
and stateside servicemen. Boxes
will be packed and sent for both
on November 17, so please hurry.
Names can be turned in by calling
either CR5-6155 or CR5-2940 or
+:an be dropped off at the firehall
or to Johanna at the Belle Faire
Boutique beauty salon in the
shopping center. Please help us
brighten up "our" boys holidays;
they appreciate it more than we
do.
Sincerely,
Johanna Thompson
Editor, Huckleberry Herald:
Why was there a shortage of
ballots in the Grapeview and Lake
precincts on November 2?
Was it stupidity on the part of
the person responsible for
furnishing ballots, not being able
to count the number of registered
voters?
Or was it arrogance in
deciding how many could or
should vote?
Or was it indifference in the
elections held in this end of the
County?
Whatever the reason, the
person responsible for the
shortage should pay for any
repeat elections which might have
to be held before an election can
be declared valid.
Concerned voters shouldn't be
penalized by having tax money
wasted on reruns because they
were concientious enough to turn
out in large numbers for an
election. Elizabeth Gatlin,
Grapeview

Our little newspaper from
1956 to 1969 was called the
Belfair Shopping Guide and Ivan
"Pappy" Holm and Betty Bogle
were the ones who used to collect
the advertisements and news for
it. Ivan, or "PUPPY", as most
knew him, was always
business-like in getting even the
church news, as well as advertising
from me.
Then Betty Bogle, who had a
personality that everyone
admired, was always obliging in

Clothesline. She included this
news in her weekly ad in the
shopper. I remember her as a
pleasant person with a smile for
everyone.
Maureen Smith I only met
once as she was only with the
paper a little over a year, but
seemed to be a competent person
in her job, also. She was with the
Belfair Shopping Guide writing
the column called "Babe in the
Woods." from April 1968 through
April 1969 when the shopper
became the Huckleberry Herald
until September 1969.
Then there's Lou Donnell.

She's a busy little bee in her small
car and office. I think she's a
wonderful editor, myself. Of
course, she can make mistakes,
and can't we all? This proves we
aren't sitting still doing nothing.
It's our job as members of the
Betty Bogle
Maureen Smith
community to help these writers
with our news, advertisements,
etc. So let's not criticize the
writers; let's think "how can I
help?" and do it now and then.
I've lived in this community
for about 14 years. I have pride
and confidence in what these
newspaper people have done and
are doing.
We need a better
understanding of man's assets,
liabilities, faults and good points.
This way, if it's written about us,
we can let our assets outweigh our
liabilities in the future and if we
know our faults we can strive to
overcome them.
Communication through the
paper has been aimed at keeping
us informed of happenings in our
community. In writing this, I'm
just trying to say "Thank you" to
the four and also there are more,
Lou Donnell
like the writers from the different
surrounding areas like Tahuya,
Grapeview, North Shore, etc. plus
the school columns.
It's not just the editor's job to
dig up everything there is to write
about, and I for one, am careless
and ashamed for not giving more
help than I have to these people,
but aren't we all inclined to put
ourselves first and not worry
about others?
It may have taken an hour's
time for me to compile this
article, but I feel the persons
involved in compiling our paper
deserve a Thank You and may
God bless each of you, past and
present.

Cauliflower mushrooms were
found last week by local
mushroom hunters. The biggest
was a 183A pounder found by
Mark Postier while brush-picking
on a ridge above the North Shore
road. Postier, a former North
Shore resident, now lives on the
South Shore.
The giant mushroom was on
display for a day at Harold's Inn.
It was finally cut up by Irene
Middleton, one of our North
Shore mushroom hunters, and
distributed. The cauliflower
mushroom is an edible variety.
Elmer Beard also found a
cauliflower mushroom while
hunting. It was over a foot in
diameter. He estimated it weighed
three pounds. Oda Beard reports
that she parboiled it to tenderize
it, then cooked it slowly in butter
and oil. Delicious, she says.
Beard didn't see a deer during
the regular season. He reports he
did pick gallons of chantrelles.
Mrs. Beard and her sister and
brother-in-law, Ivetta and Walter
Butterfield, also have been
studying edible varieties. This
year they found pine mushrooms
and the Prince.
Ann and Armes Makala, who
have a farm on the Union River
valley, and Oda Beard attended
mushroom shows in Bremerton
and Seattle this fall. Makala is
becoming keenly interested in
mushrooms. And last week he
found another rare cauliflower
mushroom.
Terra Linda was sold by Allen
Bowden and Norm Metcalf to
Alan Logan and Hugh Campana
first to move here.
Other Terra Linda
improvements will include an
addition on the south side of the
building. The Laundromat will be
refinished.
Another Terra Linda addition
being considered is a new barber
shop and a gift shop. Additional
landscaping is planned.
Mr. and Mrs. James Carter are
moving to Fort Leonard Wood,
Mo. He has just returned from
Vietnam. His wife lived at Terra
Linda while he was in the service
there. Carter has a sister, Mrs. Lou
