My health has remained good except for one slight cold. In fact, so healthy the fleas have found me delectable hundreds of times. My antibody response has been unusually slow here and I'm still scratching miserably, especially at night. Most of my eating is done to survive. We do have lamb as one of the cheaper meats but for the most part the diet is pota- toes, rice, macaroni, beans--lima and green, and corn, most often mixed together as soup. Being the end of the summer we have had some tomatoes, watermelon, ap- ples, pears, plumbs and grapes. My worst problem is the lang- uage, and though people are most friendly, outside the hospital I am a social liability. Even the things I have learned turn out to be all wrong here and experience is pro- ving to be a difficult teacher.

Why shonld kids have all the fun Clam Digging On By Dana O'Neil HOODSPORT--As has been the rule rather tlmn the exception, this weekend was ",varn~ and sun- ny. The canal was very blue, and the traffic very heavy. The traf- fic was not only heavy, but con> teal for it seems that wbile many totlrists wel:e cmnino: to the sun- ny shoes of the Hood Canal, just as nlally llativcs were on their way to the ocean benches with el:ln~ gllns ~tll(] buckets stashed ill i.he trunk. These particular natives were destined to spend lheir glorious weekend on their hands a n d knees in the sand frantically dig- ging for Raz[)r clams. To a spec- tator not familiar with the sport of clan~ (tig~ing it. can be nothing short of hihu'ious to watch the grea t clam hunter, gun in one hand, bucket in the other, as he stalks the beach in sawed off blue jeans, rubber boots, a n d sun glasses, always alert for any sign of Mr. Clam. Suddenly the great hunter spots his prey and rushes on tiptoes to the target area, trying not to alert the clam. For one short instant the great hunter stands motionless as he summons his strength for the bat- tle, and then without warning be explodes into spontaneous dig- ging, flinging sand to all corners of the beach in his desparate at- tempt to catch that speedy clam. In no time the great hunter has cast his clam gun aside a n d kncels on bonded knees up to his elbows in mud fighting to keep his hold on slippery NIr. Clam. And in the end l:o the victor be- longs the spoils-• one small razor clam. IT IS ONLY FAIR to say that the sport of clam digging has been slightly exaggerated in the first two paragraphs. Judging from, the great numher of clam diggers, the sweet taste of razor clams must be well worth all ef- forts. Saturday morning Ken Simons and his fiancee Judy Dempsey of ShelLon, with Mr. and Mrs. Tim O'Neil and their daughter Paige in the back seat took off to spend the day at Westport digging for clams on the ocean shores. And of course Mr. and Mrs. Jim O'Neil were not far be- hind. Towards the end of the day, and the end of another clam hole Ken dug up a surprise---with legs. It seems that what was thought to be a clam hole turned out to be a crab hole. Needless to say, after a thorough investi- gation, Mr. Crab was immediate- ly returned to his natural habi- tat. Also bound for the ocean this weekend were Mr. and Mrs. Al Johnson and their family, Mr. and Mrs. Joe FrinL with family, and Mr. and Mrs. Butch Vigors with their family. Tlle group spent Sunday and Monday on the aye- hut Beach digging for clams. They were a little sm.arter and used the stove pipe clam guns which are much faster and easier for digging up clams, Realto Beach was also the des- tiny of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Thur- men this weekend. They roughed iL overnight with a campfire on the beach and bunked on the cold hard floor of their station wagon. It was great fun. And last but not least Mr. and i #rn/tur¢ gnlk By Rod Olsen PLASTICS have come a lank way in recent years in their uses for the home. Durable mad- ern surfaces are available in tremendous variety for fuz~flshings, flooring, even wall surfaces. And experts predict they will play an even bigger role in the future. The advantages for many areas of the home are obvious. They wipe clean with a damp cloth, are relatively impervious to water and beverage stains, scratches and dents, and sun- light. -" d l You might fin..p a.stie surfaced furniture the laeal choice in a room where practicality gets •.. and all first consideration, as perhaps in a family room or child's bed- the vHality? room.

Judging from the evidence gath- erc,:t here, last weekend was open scas¢)13 nn clam diE.p,ers. Within the Dust few weeks Dick's Mobil Station has Imder- ~one considerable face lifting. It has been transformed from Dick's Mobil to SmiLtv's Shell. Franccs Smith has leased the station from Dick Addleman and is planning to tmld an open house in the near future. The ncw manager would like all of Dick's regular custom- ors to know that their Mobil cred- it cards will be willingly traded in on Shell cards, and that all past charge accounts will be contin- ued. Mr. and Mrs. Francis Slnlth are reeenty from Shellon where Mr. Smith worked aL the Doran Shell Station in Shelton. The Smiths have three little girls of pre- school age and are now living in one of Mrs. Christianson's homes on the school house hill. Smitty is eager to please his customers. All he needs is the op- portunity which the Hood.report people can give him. LAST WEEK WE carried the story of Mr. and Mrs. Roger Ad- dleman's little glrl Terry who is now in the Childens' Orthopedic Hospital in Tacoma suffering from second and third degree burns. Terry underwent her first operation Saturday. Terry's only contact with her friends here in H0odsport is the cards that she receives in the mail. She really enjoys hearing from everyone. Whatever is sent must be able to be sterilized with rub- bing alcohol. She can not touch the cards herself but her mother shows them to her and reads what they have to say, All of Ter- ry's friends are encouraged to drop her a card just to let her know how often we think of her;; The squid eggs that had at one time resided at the Salmon Hatch- ery have been moved to Joe Mc- Kiel's aquarium where they can more adequately be taken care of. Many fz~lends of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Pauly attended the re- ception given for the couple at the Hood Canal Woman's club- house Sunday afternoon. Virginia and Beth Ann Crumb poured the beverages. Coffee, tea, punch and cookies were served. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Peterson with Jeannle and her friend M a r y Casey of Tacoma attended the re- ception for Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Pauly. They also had Sunday din- nor with the Robert Smith family and Anna Johnson of Potlatch. From Hoodsport SUNDAY AFTERNOON Mr. Mrs. Archie Calahan and Archie's father, I). L. Calahan, set off for Tacoma to visit nn exhibit in the Taconm Art Museums. The ex- hibit featured the works of their favorite artists, Frederick Rem- ington and Charles Russell. The Calahans own several prints of picturcs created by the two popt, hu' painters of the late 19th and 20Lh eentm'ies. T h e works of Russell are of great sig- nficancc to Archie for whcn I~e was a young boy he had tim pleas- ure of meeting Charles Russell m Cascade, Mont., where Archieb~ aunt and uncle lived. According to Mrs. Calahan al least 8,000 art enthusiasts have viewed this pa]- ticular eolleeLion since it has ~een on exhibit in Taeonm. New residents of lh)odsport are Harold Pierce and his wife l~.osi,.: who have bought the Bearden home. The Pierces are from Fair- banks, Alaska, and plan to spend their winters here. Mr. Pierce is a brother of D. H. Pierce a n (i Roy Pierce's uncle. Mr. and Mrs. Darrel Rodger:¢. Renie, Ran.dy, and Cheryl hax,
