THE APEX OF NEIGHBORUNESS
The richness of rural living was epitomized at its apex
last weekend by residents of the Little Skookum Bay com-
munity.
There is no finer human relationship than that of neigh-
bors helping neighbors as the people of Little Skookum Bay
did last Saturday and Sunday when they held a building bee
to reconstruct Bill Marcy's burned-down automotive garage.
The garage had been a means 'of income to the Marcy
family and its loss, along with the costly tools it had taken
years to accumulate and afford, was a hard blow for them.
Practically every able-bodied man in the Little
kookum Bay community pitched in with saw, hammer,
shovel or just plain muscle to help rebuild the structure
and a double carport besides.
We daresay every man -- and the women, too, who fixed
food for the workers -- felt a wonderful inner satisfaction
at the completion of the project, for nothing is more soul-
satisfying than helping others.
We daresay, too, that Little Skookum Bay is a closer-
knit community today for having carried out this act of
neighborliness.
It should be tried oftener -- everywhere!
NEW HEIGHTS OF RlglOULOUSNESS
Amendments proposed to rules governing high school
athletics by someone within the Washington Interscholastic
Activities Association are heading fore new peak of ridicu-
lousness in an organization which has already hit some pret-
ty high altitudes in that category.
At hand now are two amendments which will be voted
on at the next WIAA meeting which would make ineligible

about tt. This energetic and civic-
spirited group will malce it easy
for the generous people of Grape-
mew to contribute to this very
worthwhile cause and enjoy a
)leasant evening out at the same
time. How? -- By sponsoring a
card party this Saturday evening,
February 17, :00 p.m. at the
Grapeview School with all profits
to be donated to the March of

Lewis and Mrs. Orin Buckingham.
Let's help to make this effort
really pay off by participatingl
There'll be fun, prizes and refresh-
merits and most important of all
the satisfaction of having done
something for someone in need!
Someone new has been added to
the list of GrapevtewitesI Law-
rence Jay Leonard put in his first
appearance at the Puget Sound
Naval Hospital last Saturday eve-
ning, February 10th, tipping the
scales at a husky 7 lbs. 10 ounces.
Little "L.J.'s" mother, Mrs. Jim
Leonard, (nee Betty Cook) is
doing fine and his grandparents,
.he Howard Cooks. have also sur-
vived the excitement. This is
Betty's second child, the first being
year-old daughter LeAnna who
has been staying with her "Grand-
ma Cleo" while Mama is hospital-
lzed. Betty's Navy husband Jim
is at sea aboard the U.S.S. Los
Angeles and will probably not be
able to meet his new son until
he returns home sometime in
April. Congratulations to the
happy family!
THE somewhat early "spring"
rains and the "good luck" of a
few of our local anglers recently
brought the fishermen out last
weekend to our waters and reports
are that the "big ones" are biting!

Timber Tragedy
Takes Life Of
Skokomish Man
By Mary Valley
SKOKOMISH -- Friends and
neighbors in the Valley were
shocked and stunned when a fatal
accident at Camp Govey claimed
the life of Larry Corey, and ex-
tend their deepest sympathy to
Mrs. Corey and family.
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Johnson
entertained at a dinner Monday
evening honoring Mr. and Mrs.
Ed Burnett on their wedding an-

Mr. and Mrs. Avene Richert of

you could say
Just a year ago yesterday Mrs.
Norman Tl:otzer surprised her fa-
mily by presenting them with, not
one valentine, but three--a trio
of baby girls.
When Mrs. Trotzer went to the
hospital LO give birth to her sev-
enth child, her only son, Tommy,
age 14, was probably wishing for
a brother harder than anyone in
the Trotzer family. Tommy had
tive sisters already.
To the amazement of everyone
the baby brother turned out to
be three sisters. They are the
second known set of triplets to be
,orn in Shelton.
The babies welgtled in at four
pounds 10 ounces, foul' pounds 12
ounces, and five pounds four oun-
ces The heaviest was Jane. who
now weighs 18 pounds 19 ounces
in comparmon to her sisters who
are 18 pounds and 18 pounds and
four ounces. During the year they
have remained ounces apar with
Jane always ill the lead•
The addition of three babies at
"once can make a big change in a
"Trotzer Triplets". It didn't take Joan and
Jean long to get into the act, however. The
triplets were born last year on Valentine's Day

Fire Destroys
Belfair Home
The home of Mr. and Mrs. A1
Crayne was destroyed by fire
Saturday, Feb. 10 in an early
morning blaze at Belfair that left
only the outside wails and part of
the roof standing.
The fire is estimated to have
started about 1 a.m. when the
Craynes and their one year old
son were visiting a neighbor across
the road.
William DeMiero, Belfair volun-
teer fire chief said the fire was
out of control by the time three
fire trucks and 23 volunteers
reached the scene.
A severe traffic problem de-
veloped during the blaze, compli-
cated by spectators and parties
leaving the Belfair Barn Dance
which ended at about the time the
for one year in all varsity sports any boy who attends a reg-
ular coaching school in this or any other state, and specific-
al/y singles out basketball by proposing that "after the con-
clusion of the regular basketball season no subsequent or-
ganized practice or participation in any type of basketball
game is permitted until the official November opening date
of the next season."
To adopt such a restrictive rule would prohibit boys,
under penalty of a year's ineligibility for varsity play, from
attending such summer camps as the Conifer Basketball
BChOOl, where numerous Shelto boys have gained a great
deal of benefit in the past two summers, from participating
in the American Legion junior baseball program and the
several other summer baseball programs we are all familiar
with, organized playground, recreation programs such as
those conducted by churches, YMCA's, Boy Scouts, park de-
partments, and many others all of you can think of.
Whoever is sponsoring these amendments apparent-
ly is closing his eyes to the j.venile delinquency and
mral problenu of the youth of thi state, as well as the
commendable physical fitness program advocated by
President Kennedy.
We would like to see more letters from Mason Couny
parents like one Dr. Wayne B. Carte, Shelton physician,
wrote to Henry DeYoung, executive secretary of the WIAA,
protesting the proposed amendments.
Dr. Carte wrote, in part: !'For the few criticisms of
these summer programs I can readily offer many that more
than over-balance in their favor. Supervised parks and
camp programs provide the best refutation to adolescent
and juvenile idleness. The boy under age 18 has an almost
impossible situation in finding gainful summer employment,
which leaves him with to much unoccupied time. The inci-
dence of wrongful acts resultant from or occurring during
the attendance or participation in these programs is far be-
low the incidence of bad behavior in a comparable age group
of boys who do not avail themselves of these programs.
"In keeping witk the Pridential reqgest: for better
physwal fitness how better could we oiler and encour.
age the attainment of this goalf We hear repeatedly
]rom botk the medical and coaching prolessions that
good ph.ysical conditioning is the best kmwn deterrent
to injury."
To the editor's way of thinking, the proposals before
WIAA are hardly compatible with the rights of any free
American youngster and his family. When a few men can
write, a bit of legislation attaching penalties to participation
in such worthwhile activities as organized athletic programs
sponsored by churches, YMCA's, service club, and munici-
palities we have attained new heights in ridiculousness.
When there are honor programs for the 'gifted, music
programs for the talented, summer scholarships for the sci-
entific, on what basis can we turn against the athletic ?
We sincerely hope the WIAA, which has already adopt-
ed far too any ridiculous regulations, will refuse to continue
its foolish course and turn down these arbitrary proposals.
You can help to persuade such action by following Dr,
Carte's lead and writing to Henry DcYoung, 902 Floyd

being thirteen pounds.

Flood Control Survey Slated
The work plan for tile Sko-
komish Valley flood control project
hould be ready by this Spring,
according to Mason County agri-
cultural officials.
TIlE I'LAN will be submitted to
Shokomish Valley residents along
with constmmtion cost. estimates
and yearly maintenance estimates.
Valley farmers will then hold an
eleetion to deterlnine whether they
wish to go ahead with the project
or not, The preliminary estimated
costs of building suitable strue-
r, ures for flood control in the
Skokomi.sh area have been esti-
hinted at $2,000,000. Yearly csti-
mates for maintenance run froth
$20,000 to $30,000.
The federal government pro-
vides fund for flood control under
public law 546 but maintenance
costs must be paid by members of
the flood con troI district. The main
question to be decided by Sko-
komish farmers will be the tene-
fits resulting from flood control
as compared to the cost of main.
taining the sttctures.
The Skokomish flood control
district,, embraces about 6400 acres,
Most of the residents operate
dairy farms.

Reported Tuesday = ,

A fire at the home of Jack !
Barns of 435 Fairmont St. last
Wednesday evening was reported
by Shelton Fire Chief T. E. Deer
to have caused only minor fire
damage in the bedroom to which
the fire was confined and smoke
damage to the rest of the house.
The fire was discovered when
the Barns family returned home
after an out-of-town trip. VVhen
Mrs. Barns opened the kitchen
door and discovered the smoke
she ran to a neighbor's residence
al 428 Fairmont. the home of Ot-
to Ballinger and atnily, to phone
the report to Shelton Fire De-
lmrtment.
Chief Deer believes the fire
started at the head of the bed
against the west wall of the bed-
room. Although the cause of the
fire is undetermined there was
some speculation among the fire-
fighters who answered the call
that a short in an electric blan-
ket may have started the blaze.
The report of the fire was
phoned in around 10 p.m. and the
Shelton Fire Department had the
fire under control shortly after
Lheir arrtval at the scene.
SIMPSON MEN
facture products not obtainable in
any one of the three fields.
THE THIRD SPEAKER of the
evening, Bud Puhn of the local
Simpson plant, informed the cham-
ber members that congress has
been made aware of the problem
existing in the northwest logging
areas due to the competition of
Canadian lumber companies.
According to Mr. Puhn, "The
emphasis is no longer on acquir-
ing new material but utilizing the
raw material it] a more efficient
manner." The Shelton branch of
the Simpson Timber Company cut
50 million board feet of lumber
under that which they were al-
lowed for 1961.
He went on to say, "The Shel-
ton area is a vital part of Simp-
son and the future here is prob-
ably the brightest of any Simpson
installation. In 1959 we paid out
$539 thousand to contractors, in
1960 it was $693 thousand and in
1961 $772 thousand and we look
for a continued ihcrease in future
years."
Puhn attributed the potential
success of Simpson in the Shelton
area to the vast areas of second
growth that present tremendous
futm'e resources. He also presented
a tentative plan for Simpson ex-
pansion in future years.
PRIOR TO the Simpson speak-
ers the chamber members dis-
cussed plans for beautification of
the area on Hillcrest below the log
monument.
IL was reported that tlm 30 foot
Santa Claus designed to attract
tourists dnring Scattlc's Centuw
21 Exhibition is now being coll-
structed in the Shelton City 'Gar-
age. There was also discussion on
the moving of Santa Claus' house
from the post office lawn to Rail-
road avenue between First and
Second streets so it would be
closer to the 30 foot Santa. Claus.
There were also suggestions to
plant a new city Christmas tree
and to erect a permanent tourist
information booth.
