There have been great
improvements in recycling waste
in machinery and in methods of
insect control. Compost now can
be made in as little as 14 days

seeds, etc. in bulk quantities, thus
making further savings.
Another advantage would be a
member's exchange each year. A
person might purchase strawberry
plants or raspberry plants or garlic
in the amount needed then in a
year or two surplus could be
traded to members for their
surplus as required. This would
avoid high catalogue prices and
parcel post rates.
Anyone who is interested in
growing any plant, whether it be
vegetable, flower or tree, would
be eligible. The more
inexperienced one is, the more he
could learn.

Guamanian recipe winn
Shrimp Kalaquin, the
Guamanian recipe entered by
Andrea Jones, was selected by the
Star Bulletin of Honolulu as the
best recipe of the year in 1963.
Andrea Jones, born and
reared in Guam, often served the
versatile food as a main dish to
her family of five brothers and
five sisters.
"My mother assigned jobs by
the week," Andrea explains. "One
week I'd cook; the next, perhaps,
I'd clean house; and then, for a
week, my job might be laundry."
Her brothers worked the
farmlands where corn was the
chief crop. Cattle were raised
commercially, and many fruits
were grown.
"Guam is green like
Washington," Andrea states, "but
there are fruit trees rather than
evergreens. Oranges, tangerines,
avocados and papayas are
plentiful, but there are no apples
and no strawberries."
According to Andrea Jones,
the beautiful trees of Guam are
dying as a result of the war.
"Most of the plant-life was
ruined," she says, "and now the
tourist trade is spoiling the
countryside. Hotels and motels
are replacing the farmhouses and
tourist attractions are drawing
crowds into areas once quiet and
peaceful."
In 1960 Andrea married Bob
Jones, a US Marine. From 1961
to 1962 they were stationed in
California, and from there they
went to Hawaii for a three year
stay.
After an additional three
years in California, they came, in
1969, to Shelton where Bob
Jones owns and operates the
Evergreen TV Repairs.
Bob and Andrea Jones have
three children. Richard, Dianne
and Sharon are eight, ten and I 1
years old respectively and all
attend Mountain View School. A
silver poodle named Puffy is a
family pet.
Andrea Jones likes to garden
and to sew. She is adept in
handicrafts, and while in Guam
shared her skills as a volunteer
instructor for the Office of
Industrial Opportunity. In
Honolulu she was active in Civil
Defense. Both she and her
