Mason Lake By INCA MARIE ST. CLAIR 426-8824 _S_-S__ __- -S_ S_== -- -__2 - __-----= -- S_C~__-__-=-.~-~-- --= =-.S--S-__- --- ~- 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 9:30 3:30 9:50 3:50 10:15 4:15 10:30 4:30 10:55 4:55 11:25 3:15 11:40 3:00 (leave Shelton) Pick-up points Grapeview Store Allyn Store • Benson Lake Loop Denny's Marina Calm Cove Marina (road side) Bayshore Arrive at Shelton A 10-minute period will be allowed for loading and unloading, but it is very important to be right on time. 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 Interested in creative wdting? Let us help you get started! Classes begin, Tues. Feb. 18tE cell 275-3572 anytime 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. ROWBOAT FOUND An 8-foot white rowboat was reported found on North Shore Jan. 3 1.

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." Apathy is master Where apathy is the master, all men are slaves.

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.

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.
