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.
The Milky Way is really milky

is a beautiful sight, but I will

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.

Mrs. Norm Gray and the girls
with Larry Spaulding and Mr. and
Mrs, Ray Peterson and their fam-
ily joined the ranks of the clam
diggers Saturday at Moclips
Beach.
Judging from the evidence gath-
erc,:t here, last weekend was open

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.
