Informa- tion will also be obtained on the number of persons who mov- ed during the last year. Answers tO survey questions update infor- mation obtained by the Bureau at the time of the decennial cen- sus. The monthly surveys are taken IK:tlcientlflcally selected samples of4he U.

The identity of households to be questioned is kept conflden. tial, and the facts obtained will be used only for statistical pur- poses.

At the present, the art classes are busy making posters to ad- vertise the event and GAA has begun preparing the tickets to be sold. This year's student chair- man is Jeff Allen. There has been some question as to how the three lost days of school will be made up. Tuesday it was announced the lost days will be added to the end of the school year and spring vacation is still scheduled for April 2-4 School will close June 11 instead of June 6. Seniors will still graduate May 28. North Mason's Forensics Club has begun preparing for the in- dividual events tournament to be held at North Kitsap on March 13. The tournament will include events in oratory, oral interpre- tation, impromptu speaking, and expository speaking. If my other students are interested in enter- tng, please contact Mr. Butler. "Stairway to the Stars", this year's senior ball, was held at Myhre's Restaurant, in Port Or- chard, instead of at the before planned Parkwood Community Center. The reports are that every- body had fun and enjoyed the dance a lot. The two open slots of the quart- er finals in the chess tourna- ment are still "up in the air"! Game No, 19 between Ted Barker and Mike SUmac resulted in a stalemate, game No. 22 between Steve Bunting and Craig Beck- er has just begun, and game No. 25 between Jim Kowalczyk and Jack Ridge continues on. The baseball team began the 1969 season Monday afternoon by dragging the field and getting it in shape. This included put- ting up a fence around the field. The tennis team spent the first two days of the season shovel- ing snow off the courts. That's sheer dedication. A military panel spoke to the senior class March. 5. The panel was there to inform seniors ot opportunities and careers that can be found in the armed ser- vices. The discussion opened at 1 p,m. I LILLIWAUP ...... Have you no- ticed the increasingly [mpular decor along Hiway 101? Wouht you call it Danish American Rainier - or maybe traditional Olympia. As the piled up snow along the sides of the roads melt- ed and disapprared, they began rearing their ugly little heads. The roadsides, the drain ditches and sometimes the right-of-way itwelf arc literally full of beer bottles. Much as we like to l)lame the "Flat-Land 'rouristers" for all Omt is unsightly or a bit beyond the pale, we can hardly give them credit for all this. We didn't have that many tourists in the area during the long, long winter. Maybe - chilling thought - the ciy roads and bad driving con- ditions made people so nervous they drank more beer to settle their nerves. And beautiful spring using the term loosely of course, revealed the evidence for all to see and abhor when the snow- hanks melted. Not only ugly, but dangerous and costly in slash- ed tires. None of us likes to pay taxes. The other day the hiway crews were hard at work with their trucks and manpower picking up beer bottles. This too is "Your Hiway Taxes at Work"! CANAL COUNTRY I awoke this morning to the most gorgeous view in the world, the sun rising on mill-pond smooth waters of Hood Canal, and in the distance, wearing their blue-white crowns, our majestic Olympics. Some days its beaut) almost takes your breath away, and this morning was one of those days. Pink fingers crept across the serene blue of the water as the sun seemed almost to stretch and yawn before rising over the tops of the hills across from us. A seagull perched on a piling in mobile content. A darker sha- dow on the dark waters of the lagoon, a Blue Heron paced slow- ly, majestically, till I could al- most hear the strains of Pomp anti Circumstance. Even the crows seemed to feel the sere- nity looikng it all over and tak- ing it in stride as they strutted in momentary quiet. In the distance little boats bore fishermen trying their luck. Al- most I held my breath, thinking. such beauty?". Suddenly the sun was brigh! over the hill. The seagull flew from his perch with a squack that sent the crows scattering in raucous disharmony. A spread- ing ripple stirred the blue waters and set my wind chimes to tink- ling. The moment was gone. But it was mine always, Reverently I whispered, "Thank you, God." COMMUNITY CLUB The Lilliwaup Community Club reported a good turn-out for the Friday night "Do". The Potluck provided much good food going (sigh) to waist. There were nine tables of pinochle, with men's hi game going to Joe Huntley, Australia. Val is a ge(>-physiscist and will be spending six weeks traveling in tim United States and Canada on business. Wih Anne anti two year old Grant will spend this time with Ed and Marge. The Furlongs have tentative phms for a liesurely boat trip next fall to return the visit. But Marge says they're liable to get spoiled as outside of a brief visit last year they hadn't seen Val and lhe family for seven years, MR AND MRS LESTER AGER spent a couple of (lays in Port- land last week, visiting their sis- ter-in-law, Mrs. Ernest L.

The Lees daughter LaVergne and Bud Buttacavoli from Seattle joined them for the occasion and all en- joyed the two birthday cakes and much good food. As Oran has not been too well of late, he and Em.ma 1,articularily appre- ciated all the help they bare been getting from their two sons- in-law in keeping up with various chores about the place. Bright sunchine and low tides combined to bring lots of visitors to our area this weekend. The skin divers were out enforce, foth sides of the hiway were lin- ed with their cars. Despite wet Richter, Ayock's most ardent fisherman, caught five or six this past week. RIGHT AROUND HOME This was a good week for start- ing projects out in the yard. At first, under its pristine blanket of snow the yard looked so clean. Then gradually everything got a little bit gray, and a little bit shoddy. Till when the snow final- ly disappeared we wondered from. So we raked and cleaned.
