feeling of the group ended with= JESFIELD CONSTRUCTION
the first question on the list, for
none of the other questions
elicited such complete agreement.
The next highest percentage
of agreement in response to a
question was the 80 per cent NO
reply to the suggestion of a
Mansard roof for the buildings in
Belfair. Only about 40 per cent
seemed to think a uniform color
for all would be a good idea but,
Ewart reported, he got almost as
many suggestions for color
schemes to be used as persons he
interviewed. About half of the
merchants thought one kind of
sign used by all would be effective
and about 70 per cent would
agree to some type of display of
art for sale in their places of
business. It wasn't that others did
not like the idea of an art show in
every shop, Ewart said, but some
shops simply did not have room
to display pictures for sale.

cozy spot for group meetings in the Tahuya River Camp.
Jerry Otto, above, of the State Dept. of Natural Resources,
said 11 months of planning went into the one-day workparty
of over 700 Catholic Boy Scouts who improved the camp,
used predominantly by horse clubs.

On November 10 and 11 the
annual meeting of the Washington
Federation of Republicans was
held in Ellensburg at the Holiday
Inn. Mrs. E. T. Petterson and
Peggy Bennet attended and
enjoyed the meeting and
especially enjoyed the speaker,
Art Fletcher, who discussed the
United Nations vote on China.
Mr. and Mrs. Art Nicklaus and
family have moved into their
lovely new home on Spencer
Lake. The house is a charming
blend of old and new and 1 was so

Spooner's mother was one of his
teachers. He has been "at home'"
with a back ailment and each
weekend Mr. and Mrs. Eacrett
have stopped by to see him after a
trip to Oak Harbor to see son
Bob's football team in action.
The new report cards are a
great improvement over the old
grading system and teachers and
parents agree with this. My
daughter-in-law is teaching at an
experimental-type school where
she has six grades in one room
and each child works at his own
level which makes the traditional
Guest speaker for the
November meeting of Belfair
Chamber of Commerce was Clem
Sargent of Sargent Oyster Co. of
Allyn who told of some of the
problems faced in the oyster
industry and some plans for the
future.
Samples of shells covered with
oyster seed or with tiny oysters a
few months old were passed
around to the almost 30 members
of the audience. He told a little of
the history of the oysters in this
area, .saying that the Olympia
oysters are the only native oysters
on the west coast, the others were
brought over by seed from Japan.
He can remember that in 1946
almost all Hood Canal beaches
had oyster beds and said that
biologists do not know what
happened to change things so that
now oysters are only in spotty
locations.
One predator of the oyster
was shown, the Japanese drill, and
the listeners warned to report to
the State lab at Brinnon if drill is
