HARSTINE - Last Thursday,
just a week after arriving back in
Shelton, Charles Allison died in
Mason General Hospital. Charles
and his wife, Liz, had just
returned from a winter vacation
down in California. About the
time they returned the flu bug
was really making the rounds and
they both fell victim to this
vicious varmit. At the time of
Charles' death both he and his
wife were ill in the hospital.
Following his death cremation
took place. A memorial service
will be announced at a later date.
In lieu of flowers the family
would prefer contributions to
either the Children's Orthopedic
or the Heart Fund.
A great big congratulations to
Kris Judd, an island gal, on being
selected as one of the candidates
for the 1973 Forest Festival
queen. All members of her family
are so proud (and justifiably so)
that they are all popping their
proverbial buttons.
Esther Gortz, after having
been away for some time, has
once again become an islander.
She has been living in Bremerton
for some time now. Last week she
returned to her island home and
was fortunate to find
employment almost immediately.
It's nice to have you back with us
again, gal.
The grange held its regular
meeting last Friday evening. The
turnout of members was almost as
good as the January meeting. But
there's no doubt about it, the
larger the number, the more
interesting the meeting.
When the grange bowling
team gave a report it was learned
that they deserve a big pat on the
back because at the time of the
report the island team was sitting
prettily at the top of the heap.
Wednesday of last week 18
gals and two little girls gathered at
the home of Raymond and
Margaret McCulloch to give her a
belated surprise birthday party.
Since we'd inadvertently
overlooked her January birthday
date we took advantage of
Valentine's Day for the
celebration. Two heart-shaped
cakes decorated to suit the
occasion and oodles of cards
added the festive touch. Coffee
and Jello were the finishing
touches. A delightful day was had
by all.
This past Sunday afternoon
Margaret and Raymond received
another surprise. Their good
friend, Bill Caruthers, and his
friend and partner, Dick Nagel
dropped in for an unexpected
visit.
When Ed Waite and his family
recently went to Olympia on a
shopping trip for a second-hand
car they thought the one they
selected looked a bit familiar. The
salesman, when asked about the
former owner, replied it had
belonged to a very nice lady who
worked at the Governor's
Mansion at the state capital in
Olympia. Well, most of us would
have needed but one guess to
identify Helen Johnson. Like the
song says, 'it's a small world after
all."
This past Sunday afternoon
this reporter and the two
small-fry had taken advantage of a
gorgeous day and a fairly good
low tide to head for the beach to
entice a few clams from their
sandy hideaways for a good batch
of clam chowder which everyone
seemed to be hungry for.
' We looked up to discover we
were no longer alone. Three other
human beings were taking a
leisurely stroll a bit higher up on
the beach. On closer examination
one of them turned out to be a

former islander, David Gabrielsen
(who had spent almost half of
boyhood years first as a
weekender and later as a
permanent resident along with his
folks) and his wife, Nancy, and a
friend of theirs, Rick, all of
Oregon.
David was quite disappointed
to learn that his folks had just
recently sold the last piece of
island property they owned; a
hundred feet they had retained
when they sold their home and
the biggest portion of the
property to Gordon and Shirl
Larson.
The two groups had merged
and were poking around back in
Spencer's Cove when still another
group appeared on the beach.
These newcomers were kind
enough to rescue some buckets,
shovels and even clams which
were about to become victims of
an encroaching tide. The third
group of beachcombers turned
out to be the Marvin Benglesdorf
family of Tacoma who had driven
down for the afternoon.
Last Friday while shopping in
Shelton this reporter bumped into
Wayne and Beula Browning who'd
just returned after having
followed the sun south late last
fall. Didn't have a chance to get a
report from them for this week's
colunm so perhaps we can catch
that for next week.
Last Friday evening Joe
Glaser drove up to Bremerton to
pick up his daughtor, Margy Jo,
and bring her down to the island
to spend the long three-day
holiday weekend with him and
the Glaser families at Ballow.
Dale and Mark Tomlinson of
Shelton were the weekend guests
of Mike Glaser. Sunday all three
boys attended a motorcycle race
at Straddleline which is located
between Olympia and McCleary.
After the races all three boys
stopped at the Tomlinson
residence for a much-appreciated
delicious dinner.
Celia Glaser just returned
home prior to the three-day
weekend after spending a couple
of days with her son, Dick, and
his family in Shelton. While Celia
was there she and Bonnie drove
down to Montesano to visit a
friend, Mrs. Whiting.
A1 and Nellie Schenk,
formerly of Camp Hoko and
presently from their own
property somewhere in the
Olympic National Park near the
old Olympic Hot Springs Resort
where they moved their mobile
home following Al's retirement
the first part of this month,
arrived here on the island for an
indefinite stay. A1 is going to
drive truck to haul some cedar
and hemlock logs that John and
Alice Budd have been having
logged. The Schenks will be the
houseguests of the Budds while A1
is driving truck for the Budds.
A couple of weeks ago Pat
Dunlap was the guest of Mrs.
Sally Ware's fourth grade class, at
the Lincoln School in Olympia.
Mrs. Dunlap, a Harstine Island
potter, gave the students some
instructions in the art of shaping
clay for a few hours in the
classroom.

To avoid the inconvenience and expense of inadequate
wiring, include enough wiring for future growth when
the home is built. Rewiring later can be costly.
• Adequate wiring is a properly-sized electrical service entrance or fuse
box, large enough to handle present and future growth. Adequate wiring
is enough circuits---as well as outlets~to let you use electricity con-
veniently and safely. Adequate wiring is extra circuits and outlets to let
you grow, electrically.
• Adequate wiring prevents overloaded wiring. Overloaded wiring is a
safety hazard and it wastes electricity.., you pay for wasted current you
never use.
• For efficient use of electricity, for safety, for economy, insist on ade-
quate wiring when you build or remodel.
