The Maranatha Sounds Union: Club has newsletter By THELMA FLOOR The newsletter recently circulated to South Shore residents, regarding accomplishnlents of the Hood Canal Improvement Club, was researched and put together by a team of club members and historical buffs of the Union area. Responsible for conception, production and distribution of this letter were Helen Rudy, Karen James McCullough, Sally Fisher and Mary Margaret Beley. The Hood Canal Improvement Club, over the years, has been a catalyst between local residents and various government agencies and many of the improvements we enjoy in our community can be traced to the efforts of a few unselfish and dedicated persons Tracks are first made by a sighted skier, then each blind person has a guide skiing beside him as they race around a course the size of a horse-race track. They compete - not against each other - but against the clock and against their own built-in inhibitions. One woman, blind since birth, said, "1 have not felt so free since my parents took me as a little child to an ocean beach and let me run and run and run." It was like a sermon to all of us non-handicapped to see the enthusiasm and pure joy the participants showed in the two-day event. About 30 persons attended; some were guides and some a part of the support system such participation. LaNae Munsell and Rick Aho, two blind skiers, sang solos and duets and delighted everyone with their beautiful voices and performances. Tony Floor accompanied them on the piano and also played for community signing. Sunday Craig Johnson and Renee Miller of KING-TV and the AI Wallace "How Come?" show came to Trollhaugen and filmed the ski race and the presentation of trophies. Every blind skier received one of the trophies for their participation and their delight was something to behold. The program will be aired on "How Come?" and Johnston thought the date would be March 12.

Comments given on traffic violations By TROOPER VERN GIDDINGS Mason County Detachment, Washington State Patrol The following is extracted in part from the Motor Code section of the Revised Code of Washington State, R.C.W. 46.61.190. Vehicle Entering Stop or Yield Intersection. (1) Preferential right-of-way may be indicated by stop signs or yield signs as authorized in RCW 47.36.110. (2) Except when directed to proceed by a duly authorized flagman, or a police officer, or a fire fighter vested by law with authority to direct, control, or regulate traffic, every driver of a vehicle approaching a stop sign shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if none, before entering a marked crosswalk on the near side of the intersection or, if none, then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway before entering the roadway, and after having stopped shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle in the intersection or approaching on another roadway so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard during the time when such driver is moving across or within the intersection or junction of roadways. (3) The driver of a vehicle approaching a yield sign shall in obedience to such sign slow down to a speed reasonable for the existing conditions and if required for safety to Stop, shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if none, before entering a marked crosswalk on the near side of the intersection or if none, then at a point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway before entering the roadway, and then after slowing or stopping, the driver shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle in the intersection• or:, approaching.m another roadway soeiosely as to constitute an immediate hazard during the time such driver is moving across or within the intersection or junction of roadways: PROVIDED, That if such a driver is involved in a collision with a vehicle in the intersecton or junction of roadways, after driving past a yield sign without stopping, such collision shall be deemed prima facie evidence of his failure to yield right-of-way. Violations of the above statute have accounted for many accidents in Mason County in the past, some of which have resulted in serious injury to occupants and in some cases death. When approaching such intersections it is necessary to exercise extreme caution, not only for your own safety and those of other motorists but because the law requires. This law, like the rest, was developed to protect motorists by providing definite guidelines for operation of vehicles in and around such intersections. By following the law as intended you are provided with the necessary time to evaluate the speed of any vehicles approaching on the roadway you intend to cross or enter and so determine whether or not it would present a dangerous situation if you were to enter the intersection at that time. A quick glance down the road indicates there is a vehicle approaching but you feel there is sufficient distance for you to pull out. Your experience from hundreds of other California stops at the same intersection tells you to go. Unfortunately this time the vehicle approaching is exceeding the speed limit and before you can clear the intersection... He was wrong, you may have been right - dead right. It only takes a second or two or three to stop and look and yield. How many of you have been victims of such an incident and wished that you could relive those few seconds so you could do it the right way? How many of our friends, neighbors or relatives have been killed by those same few seconds? Is the saving of those precious few seconds so important to you that you would jeopardize life itself?. What's your hurry? Driving can be hazardous to your health. By Realtor REID MITCHELL MASON COUNTY REALTY SOME BENEFITS OF AGE If you want more house for your dollar, you have good cause to look over older aouses. But there are other good reasons for shopping the old ones, too. For one thing, there are simply more old houses than new ones. For every new house that will go up this year there are some 45 existing homes already on the market. Many older homes, especially those built before World War II, offer more abundant space than new homes do -- a special attraction if you have a large and growing family, but a imited budget. Most old homes are in well-established, well-developed neighborhoods. There will be no waiting for streets to be paved, sewers to be connected or schools to be built. All that is going to grace the neighborhood is probably already there, so that worrying about the future will have been done for you already.
