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

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.
