And in the end, the helping hand that was always available to others brought those same people to her bedside when her lingering illness confined Viola to the family home on Newkirk Road. Memories of Viola reach back to 1942 and the lack of a Girl Scout troop in Belfair at that time. Viola and Mary Theler gathered books, uniforms and girls together to start formation of a troop. Then, divided into two troops for separate age groups, Girl Scouting began in North Mason and has continued through the years. Viola had an outstanding knowledge of plants, wild or domestic, that she shared with enthusiasm. Young and old, listeners readily learned the common and generic names of favorite plants under her humorous and easy manner of teaching. The shrubs and old-fashioned flowerbed still growing in the C.W. Henningsen yard was a long-ago green-thumb project. Starts and slips of shrubs were taken from the Newkirk yard to the new home and, as Mac Henningsen remembers, her family called the new growth "children from the Newkirk shrubs." Viola's love of flowers extended to her being a charter member of the Evergreen Club, which has planned and cared for the garden spot at the intersection of the Old and New Belfair Highway.

Each was filled with a collection of eye-catching rocks that would take years to examine and appreciate. Some 20 years ago Viola and husband, Marion, purchased a collection containing rocks from foreign countries and many parts of the United States. They continued the hobby with their own collecting of rocks through the years. During the Mason County Fair the major part of the day for some people would be spent at the Newkirk rock exhibit, looking at the many varieties and sopping up priceless knowledge. Viola stressed that all rocks, when dampened, have added beauty and she was willing to illustrate the point even with a lick of the tongue. There was an unusual welcome-home for Mr. and Mrs. William L. Pagel in the early morning hours last Sunday as they returned from a trip to the Hawaiian Islands. They found a car wedged "nose-down" in their front lawn in an apparent try for a shortcut across the deep.ditched curve near their Old Belfair Highway home. With Dick and Kathy Seyfirth, the Pagels had enjoyed the tour package of the island including a four-day stay at Oahu and three days at Maul. Extra clothing taken along was never unpacked as they basked in the warm sunshine and a cooling breeze. They were surprised at the "tourists galore," the vivid blue sky and the ocean that appeared green from the air but was a special blue from the beach. Luggage sent on a later flight to Sea-Tac caused a delay of some waiting hours before the drive home to their new front yard exhibit which has since been removed. Viola I.

A citizens' advisory committee was formed at the February meeting of the Grapeview School Board to help the board in assessing the needs of the district's facilities. First meeting of the group was devoted largely to a discussion of Friends at park land I a site for a new facility. Residents of the school district are encouraged to contact any member of the committee to discuss the facility. The public is invited to attend the committee meetings which will be on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month, beginning at 7:30 p.m., at the Grapeview School. Library donation hits county snag Last fall the North Mason Friends of the Library in Belfair informed the county board of commissioners that they wanted to deed six acres of land to the county for use by the county's parks and recreation department. At the time the matter was referred to the county prosecutor's office for clarification and advice. At the county commissioners' February 27 meeting, they received a copy of a letter prepared by the prosecuting attorney and sent February 7 to the Friends of the I1!

Alice Lombard) has returned home recuperating after her recent hospitalization. Although she'll have to take things easy for a few weeks, no doubt she'll soon be up and as busy as ever. Several young people from Mason Lake attended the Fog Festival Celebration at Ocean Shores on Presidents' Birthday weekend. Earl and Joan Nilsen, their sons, Steve and Scott, along with Carl and Harriet Kramp all spent the same weekend at Ocean Shores, but when they made their reservations they didn't realize they'd be part of a crowd of 75,000. Although the beach and everything else was pretty crowded, they said they enjoyed themselves. Incidentally," the Kramps recently became grandparents ...he sends it out save room in the dumpster. As John finishes bidding a good day to one of his regular customers and prepares to start loading a mountain of cans into the towering container, he says he feels a lot of people would like to start recycling "but just aren't sure how to go about it. "Now I'm not just saying this, but if someone is having a hard time getting started with recycling, then they should feel free to give me a call. "Or else they can drop by, pick up some boxes, and I can go over any questions they might have. "After all, it's my job, and recycling helps us all." (Continued from page one.) Each week the center collects and ships away, John estimates, an average of 20 loaded pallets or a total close to 1,000 bottles. When bottles are brought in, John and his son sort them out and stack them according to brand. Then periodically a truck, driven by John's boss, travels to each of the three centers, picks up all the bottles of one brand and delivers the loaded semi to the appropriate brewery. Aluminum cans are tossed into a monolithic dumpster. John guesses that every two weeks the center ships out close to 10 tons of aluminum. Although they'll take them either way, John prefers that the aluminum cans be crushed to EDUCATION IS A GOOD BUY * For the community e For tomorrow e For business e For kids e For everyone VOTE NORTH MASON SCHOOLS MARCH 14th Library. The letter stated that to assure the land will be used for a park or kept natural the deed given to the county should include a reversionary clause. In the letter the prosecutor also listed the board of commissioners' policy that the county not receive any donations of lands subject to such reversionary clauses. In closing, he told the association that if it still wishes to deed the land with no restrictions the prosecutor's office would continue to handle the legal aspects of the transfer.
