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

tentative phms for a liesurely
boat trip next fall to return the
visit. But Marge says they're

to our area this weekend. The

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
