Harstine " Local Club By CARMEN YATES HARSTINE - Twenty-seven members of the Community Club gathered at the Hall last Friday evening, for a pot luck dinner featuring meatballs. Although it was a wet, slushy night everyone's spirits were suddenly transformed aloft as they entered the dining room with its festive decorations. The two gals, Hilda Williams and Grace Campbell really did an outstanding job trimming the Hall in a Valentine theme. Two tables had a beautiful shade of pink cloths with the two alternate tables covered with white cloths. Traditional red hearts hung from white Manzanita branches which were 'growing' out of pink flower pots on each table. Napkins and desserts featuring pink, red and white completed the Holiday theme. After the food was consumed and the briefest of brief, business meetings was over a number played cards and some just took advantage of the chance to visit and catch up on news of neighbors and friends. Friday evening of this week members of the Grange will gather at the Hall for their regular February meeting which will be preceded by an informal pot luck supper. Plans for March's upcoming events will be discussed among the item of business. School activities and adult activities once again this past weekend brought conflicting dates for the Island's two families with youngsters. For three little Island gals, their baton group, the Mason County Robinettes, held forth with an evening at the Pool Nuotare in Shelton. Swimming was featured from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Following a delightful hour of boisterous and jubilant splashing by about 60 girls ranging in age from about six to 14 in assorted shapes and sizes, the climax of the party was a weiner roast. Two heart shaped cakes decorated with red roses honored the gals with February birthdays, brining the party to a close. Several of the Morns enjoyed a bit of swimming while they were helping supervise the pool-full of giggling happy femininity. Chuck and Mirja Bridges had a Zone Meeting of the areas horse clubs scheduled so their two gals joined Lisa Yates and yours truly for the Swim Party, and then were overnight guests at the Yates home. A third guest was Karen Sushak of Picketing who had just planned on riding back home with the other three gals, but accepted an invitation to join the other girls, since they all had to go back into Shelton the following morning for baton lessons anyway. Saturday night, too, was a meeting night for the Bridges of the McCleary Trailriders, so another invitation was extended to the three guests for Saturday night, which they all accepted. The flu bug seems to be getting around almost everywhere. He's even slipped across the bridge to attack some of the Islanders. After a bout with the flu lrvie Wingert found himself hospitalized with pneumonia. He entered the Hospital the middle of last week and at this writing Legal Publications District Meeting Of Dirt Dobbers NOTICE OF SALE OF VALUABLE MATERIAL ON STATE LAND Department of Natural Resources State of Washington Bert L.

BERT L. COLE Commissioner of Public Lands 2/19-1t ,ngs was still there, but triends reported he was beginning to feel a bit better. Ruth Goodwin chased the 'bug' away, but not quite far enough, for husband, Lloyd, was bitten about the time Ruth was on the road to recovery. She reported that Mabel Harriman had read of her illness and had thoughtfully sent a card, which Ruth enjoyed receiving and hearing about her life on the Harbor. Some other former Island residents recently called on Margaret and Raymond McCulloch. Mrs. S. Carnes who along with her late husband once made their home where the John Budds now live, joined her grandson, Bill and his friend from Hi-line College, for a drive down to the Island. Bill, too, once lived in the same location with his parents and attended school here on the Island. The weather was unseasonally gorgeous for their drive down and for Mrs. Carnes' very first drive across the bridge. Upon arriving at the McCulloch home she described the first-time experience as a trmendous thrill. While they enjoyed the spring-like weather for a jaunt on the beach and gathered a few oysters as a bonus for the outing Mrs. Carnes told about her trip last year down south to visit relatives. Friday the 13th was three days overdue arriving at the Pioneer School. But arrive it did, and the numerous events were in no way diminished by the delay. For the aforegoing is the only possible explanation to last Monday morning's events. The custodian, Gene Spears, arrived bright and early to get the school ready for the small-fry and their teachers. First the buses were started. While they were warming up Spears and one of the drivers went back into the building to see if they could discover what was ailing the motor for the boilers to get the building warmed up. After a few minutes they decided to call in an electrician. When they went back outside the first thing that met their eyes, was smoke emerging from under the hood of one of the buses. A few buckets of II water extinguished the fire, but .. short in the wiring proved to be the problem. As if all that weren't enough for one day, another short turned up in the bell system, and when the first bell rang and ,rang and rang and kept on ringing some more wires had to be pulled to silence the persistent buzzer. And, last but not least, the flu bug had made his rounds and bitten Pioneer's Principal, Robert Hartley. The bus was towed off to Shelton, rather ungraciously, by a wrecker and the electrician installed a small but important part in the silent motor and by noon he also performed a bit of minor surgery on the bell system and things were almost back to normal. A special note of sympathy this week is extended to two sisters here on the Island, Kathryn Wingert and Mac Tierney on the loss of their mother, Betty Lane. She died Sunday at the Tacoma Rest Home. Funeral services were held Wednesday at 11 a.m. in Tacoma. Island friends of Toni Fessler will be interested to know that she transferred from the hospital over to the Fir Lane Terrace Rest Home. At this writing it wasn't known whether Toni is able to have visitors yet, so check with some of the family first. Two Conner State Rep. Paul Conner said this week two bills which he had sponsored had been passed by both houses of the legislature and sent • to the governor. One of the measures would allow inmates of the Washington Corrections Center to display their handicraft at fairs and to sell the items they have made. Money from the sales would go into a revolving fund and could be used by the inmates to purchase more materials or would accummulate and be given them when they are released, Conner said. The other provides for tax exemption for sheltered workshops for the handicapped. For ,..
