Russ Stuck, George Myers, Dave Thacher, Ass Pearson Keith Ross 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 SI2LTON--MASON COUNTY JOURNAE- Published in "¢Chvistmastown, U.S.A.," Shelton, Washington March Of Dimes Party Planned At Grapeview GRAPEVIEW--"March of Dimes" time is here again and our Fair =Iarbor Grange is doing something 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 Dimes. The affair will be in the capable hands of Grange Home Economics Chairman, Mrs. Clem Hell and assistants, Mrs. George 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! Dean Cook, who went out near Harstine Island with his dad, Howard Cook on Sundy, landed a beautiful nineteen pounder and Ed Okonek, trying it the same day, FIRST BIRTHDAY CAKE .FOR TROTZER TRIPLETS SiX BRIGHT EYES observed their first birthday cake yesterday when Joan (left), Jane (center) and Jean (right) Trotzer celebrated their first birthday. Jane made the first cake, grabbing the candle befor 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- nLVersal, y. Others present were Mr. and Mrs. Avene Richert of Island Lake. Mr. and Mrs. Max Latzcl re- cently learned that their grand- daughter, Kathy Moorhead, is the ove for the 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 to Mr. and Mrs. Norman Trotzer, 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 brought home a limit, top weight being thirteen pounds. The Orin Buckinghams played host to Bremerton friends last Sunday and treated them to a "home caught" salmoh feast. Mr. end Mrs. John Reischman, with four of their six children, spent part of the day helping Orin and Ethel with a clean-up project on their Stretch Island beach.

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.

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.
