1 should start this column as a to raise funds for camping
"get well greeting" to all those
who have been or are still ill at
this time.
Mac Nichols is due home from
the hospital after a siege of the
flu. Jan Hudgens, too, is looking
forward to coming home in a few
days after her surgery. Milly
Wiltse is still, at this time, in the
hospital. Bea Schnettler is feeling
better; Robert Hughes is gaining
strength and is taking life easy.
I've heard that many others have
been ill, but don't know names.
Whoever you are, you are all
wished a speedy recovery. Don't
give up hope; as you read this,
spring is about 45 days off and
then everyone, hopefully, will be
feeling tops and out doing their
thing in warmer weather.
Don't forget that the Ladies
Auxiliary will meet on Feb. 12
and 26. All members should
attend the Feb. 12 meeting to
voice their opinions as to what
they would like done with our
fire boat. There is some discussion
about selling it. So, please, won't
you all come and cast your vote.
You folks who have bottles
stacked up can call to make
arrangements to have them picked
up. Because of the weather and
the price of gas, the Scouts have
decided not to make regular
rounds like they do in the
summer when more people are
around. On the east side of the
lake call Mary Smith, 426-3793;
and on the west side call Fred
Hawkins, 426-8718. The Scouts
are still anxious to get the bottles
equipment. So give a call and get
those bottles out of the way
before you start your spring
house cleaning.
A new service is being tried in
our area, and should benefit those
who don't drive or have a car. If
you missed the notice in last
week's Journal, this is to remind
you that once a week on
Wednesday there will be bus
service for Benson and Mason
Lake and surrounding areas. You
may be picked up at designated
points and brought to Shelton for
shopping.
At first there will be one bus
that will make stops in
Grapeview, Allyn and Bayshore as
well as Benson and Mason Lakes
and, if there are enough people
who take advantage of this
service, arrangements will be
made for more transportation.
Charge will be $1 with persons
from closer areas paying less.
Those who live in Pope and
Talbot and Manzaneta tracts will
be picked up at Denny's Marina.
Schedule adjustments may be
made, so watch for future notices
in the Journal or Senior Citizens
newspaper. Anyone can be picked
up on the road between specified
points if they are there on time.
The bus will leave Denny's Marina
and continue around the north
end of the lake, down the west
side and on to Bayshore.
A trial run was made
yesterday and the following
schedule was set up:
A.M. Departure P.M. Return

Mary Smith called to give a
report on a scouting trip held on
the weekend of Jan. 25 and 26.
Scout Troop 126 went on an
overnight snow survival outing at
Paradise on Mt. Rainier. They left
Smturday at 6 a.m. and arrived
home Sunday at 5 p.m., tired but
no serious mishaps reported.
The boys and adults made
their sleeping quarters in snow
caves in which they really slept
warm and comfortable. They all
learned that in case of an
emergency one can keep warm in
snow caves. The group cooked
survival food on camp stoves and
used candles for light. Food

included canned goods, hot
chocolate, raisins, chocolate
candy and cookies and oranges.
From all indications the trip
was a huge success and the boys
learned a great deal about serious
conditions that can happen during
emergencies. Rangers in that area
complimented the group for
breaking down their snow caves
before leaving. Caves left intact
can become a hazard to hikers
who unknowingly step through
the cave, which may cause serious
injury.
Members of the troop who
made the trip are Duane Estep,
Roger Ewart, Ray Surprenant,
Peter Allison, Jim and Bobby Hill,
Eddy Montoya, Skeeter Lamont,
Keith Smith and Bryan Hawkins.
Mary Smith is assistant
scoutmaster and other adults who
went are Doug Stillman, Dennis
and Peggy Stillman, and Darrel
Estep.
The group is looking for a
scoutmaster. Any men who would
like to help the younger
generation to continue their many
activities may call Mary Smith.

Safety council offers tips
for safety in wintertime
Cold weather driving means
additional hazards for the
motorist - snow-covered roads,
icy bridges and frosted
windshields. Cold weather also
intensifies a less obvious, but just
as deadly, hazard - carbon
monoxide.
Carbon monoxide, according
to Marvin O. Christman, executive
vice-president of the Evergreen
Safety Council, is an invisible,
tasteless, odorless gas produced
by the incomplete burning of
fuel. It attacks the body by
attaching itself to red blood cells,
blocking the attachment of
oxygen which is normally carried
by the red blood cells to nourish
body tissues. Christman said
carbon monoxide combines with
red cells 200 times easier than
oxygen, and the oxygen
starvation caused by carbon
monoxide poisoning can cripple
or kill victims within minutes.
Carbon monoxide poisoning is
a greater hazard in cold weather,
Christman said, because cold
weather usually means drivers roll
their windows up, cutting off
ventilation that would normally
sweep fumes out of the passenger
compartment.
"Positive ventilation - a
movement of fresh air through
the car's passenger compartment
- is a strong defense against
carbon monoxide poisoning,"
Christman said. "Opening fresh
air inlets at the front of the car
and lowering side windows
slightly can give this kind of
ventilation," he continued.
Just opening side vent
windows, Christman said, won't
always ventilate a car. Vent
windows opened to their normal
position draw air out of the
passenger compartment rather
than funneling it in, he said, and
the result could be to help draw
in exhaust fumes already seeping
into the passenger compartment.
Mr. Christman added, however,
that vents should be closed when
a car is inching along in slow
traffic or moving through a tunnel
to avoid drawing in exhaust fumes
from other vehicles.
"Driving a station wagon with
the rear window partially open, or
driving a car with the trunk lid
partly open, is particularly
dangerous because exhaust fumes
tend to hang behind a moving car
and they can be sucked into these
openings," he said. "If a trunk lid
or rear window has to be open
while driving, a positive
ventilation flow through the
passenger compartment is
absolutely necessary." Mr.
Christman also cautioned
motorists against idling the engine
of a standing car to keep the
heater working.
"A standing car with the
windows rolled up has no
adequate ventilation," he said,
"and that's just asking for
trouble."
Stopping exhaust leakage at
its source is even more important
than good ventilation, according
to Christman.
"Motorists should have their
exhaust systems checked to find
and fix blown-out gaskets, leaking
pipe connections and
holes in mufflers and tailpipes,'"
he said. "Holes in the floorboards,
firewall or trunk also should be
patched, since they can provide
an easy entry for fumes leaking
from the exhaust system," he
added.
Christman said motorists
could reduce the carbon
monoxide content of their engine
exhausts by keeping their engines
in tune and giving prompt
attention to problems like
sticking automatic choke
assemblies.
Even in a properly maintained
car, however, motorists should be
aware of the possibility of carbon
monoxide poisoning, Christman
said.
"If you find yourself getting
sleepy at the wheel, suspect
carbon monoxide immediately,"
he advised motorists. "Get out
and breathe some fresh air. Then
drive with the windows open
more than usual and have the
car's exhaust system checked at
the first opportunity."
Other tip-offs to carbon
monoxide poisoning, according to
Christman, are weakness,
headache, dizziness, nausea, loss,
of muscular control and increased
pulse and respiration. But he said
that if the concentration of
carbon monoxide in the air is
great enough, the victim may
become unconscious without any
warning signals.
"A driver's best protection
against carbon monoxide is good
automotive preventive
maintenance," Christman said.
"That maintenance is especially
important this winter," he added,
"because this is the carbon
monoxide danger season."

High hool News
By BARB VAN BUSKIRK
Mr. Peter Merrill will be
directing his fourth faculty play
this year when M*A*S*t:I is
brought to the North Mason
stage.
March 14 and 1 5 members of
the teaching staff at North Mason
will present the outrageous
comedy by Tim Kelly based on
the book written by Richard
Harris about a combat surgical
team. Director Merrill said, when
asked who was in the play, "Just
about all of the teachers in the
district, it seems." Starring in the
play will be band director Mr.
Gordon Lent as Hawkeye Pierce
and backing Lent up, as
Hawkeye's sidekick Trapper John,
will be junior high teacher Karl
Jahns. Major "Hotlips"
Houlihan's part will be played by
elementary teacher Barbara
Catron. Others joining the cast are
Jon Esarey as Radar and Ron
Angus as Colonel Blake. The
proceeds from this dramatic
presentation will be placed in the
North Mason Education
Association scholarship fund
which will help send a worthy
senior through college. Price and
exact time of the play will be
established at a later date.
Mrs. Allen and Mr. Haugen are
the proud new counselors of a
two-drawer Occupational Library.
The Occupational Library, when
combined in usage with a a new
Micro Filsh machine (much like a
micro-film machine), can tell a
student at a flick of the wrist
what jobs are available to whom,
when, where, and how much they
pay. The two new additions are
all a part of the growing Career
Resource Center that is in the
SAC. Its watchful counselors
encourage all the students
interested in any career to check
the new facilities out.
The Girls Club assembled for
their third meeting of the school
year to discuss plans for the
upcoming annual Mother-Daugh-
ter Tea in May. The
Mother-Daughter Tea is held
every year to honor senior girls
and their mothers. Junior Cathi
Marsh was awarded the position
of chairwoman of the tea. Helping
Cathi are the following girls and
their committees: refreshments,
Jill Slagle, Wendy Moore;
clean-up, Lore Sumpter, Shiela
Coben ; decorations, Laurie
Sanders, Jeanette Weegman;
programs, Shirly Fillo, Stacy
Kronquist; invitations, Karri
Maesner, Cheri Anderson.
Quite a few girls are needed to
help out on the committees, so
contact one of these girls if you
are willing to lend a helping hand.
The humanities class and
other interested students travelled
to the Penthouse Theatre on the
campus of the University of
Washington to view a play. Jan.
29 the students and Bill Hawkins
enjoyed a play by Samuel
Beckett. "The play was really
absurd and l think a little bit over
my head, but 1 enjoyed it. It's
nice to get away from the
classroom and still become
educated," said Jo Testu about
the play "Endgame."
The Hood ('anal Advisory
Board was formed at a meeting of
the Commissioners of Mason,
K itsap and Jefferson counties•
The new board was to consist of
nine members, three from each of
the three counties bordering the
('anal.
(;overnor Dan Evans came
out in opposition to the
expansion of Alderbrook Inn in a
letter to the Army Engineers, thus
reversing an earlier opinion.
Nine high school students
presented a panel discussion
"Listen to What They Have to
Say" to the North Mason PTA.
Panel members were Dave
Macomber, Nikki Wolf, Gary
Smith, Glenn Miller, Sandi
Johnson, Becky Burwell, Jean
JANUARY, 1970
Caban, Eileen Sande and Drew
Landram.
The North Mason School
Board received word from the
State Board of Education that
they would receive $71,438.42
towards the construction of a new
elementary school building.
The "Buck" Churches won a
color TV set in a service station
contest.
More than a hundred people
spoke pro and con at a public
hearing on the fill for the
Alderbrook Inn expansion.

Leffer to the editor...
Editor's note: The following
letter is from a cat, in response to
a recent Huckleberry Friend
column telling about a bill I
received from a Seattle
veterinarian for an operation on a
stray cat I gave to my sister's
family many years ago. My
brother-in-law, as a joke, had the
vet send me a letter as legal owner
of the cat, asking that I pay the
bill which came to over $90.
Editor, Huckleberry Herald:
I would like to set the story
straight. You should have
interviewed me before writing
that story about me.
First of all it was not about
15 years ago but closer to 17
years ago when I really began to
go places. You say that your cat
spit at me. Do you think I
enjoyed being spat at? What kind
of manners do you teach your cat
anyway? That's why I went
behind thecouch when I did, and
the only reason I hung around
your house was because it was
cold outside and I knew I could
take you for a free meal anytime I
needed one. You felt sorry for
me; that's a laugh. I'm glad no
one claimed me in that
neighborhood. You don't know
how relieved I was when you left
the lsaksons and left me behind.
1 am not spoiled rotten. I earn
my keep by exercising, keeping
cats and dogs out of our yard and
garbage cans, guarding the house
when no one is there, watching
the kids shoot baskets, making
sure I'm there if they happen to
get hurt. It's only natural when I
get through working night and
day, like I do, that I should get
some rest. So when 1 wake up and
come into the kitchen, sure
people jump and feed me - they
know I work hard. What does
your cat do? Don't bother to
answer - I will. She sleeps all day
and night, getting up to eat and
go outside occasionally. She
sleeps on anything, I understand.
(TV sets, TV trays, boxes, phone
books, tape recorders, etc.) Oh
well, I guess some of us have to
have weird hobbies.
I'll have you know I have
never lost a fight. I go to the vet,
only after every third fight, for a
check-up. After all, I'm getting on
in years and I want to be sure I'm
in perfect shape at all times. It's
too bad you can't put a picture of
me on the front page so everyone
can see that I am slim and trim
and not fat and lazy as y~
to imply.
C
BoC.
Editor's note: Bo, I
run a picture of you
Huck Friend column but
I was at your house 1
to get one. I couldn't get
enough to get all of you
and when I tried to
to see if we could get
position to fit in the
couldn't budge you.
