Dale Rae
High
"1 worked for two yea,rs in a
gas station, pumping gas, says
Dale Rae, "and I enjoyed it very
much. Nevertheless, I changed
jobs because I wanted to help
nursing home patients."
Dale Rae, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Russell G. Rae, is employed
as nurse's aide in Fir Lane Terrace
t,onvalescent Center
"1 find it very fulfilling and
rewarding," she declares. "So
many of the residents are very
lonely. 1 wish there were more
volunteers to spend time with
them."
Born in Shelton on November
16, 1956, Miss Rae has lived in
this area except for her seventh
and eighth grade years, when the
family resided in Oregon.
Her three sisters are Debbie, a
registered nurse stationed with
the Air Force in Maine; Dawn,
who attends Western Washington
State College; and Diana, an
eight-grade student. Her older
sisters are Shelton High School
graduates. A brother, Russ Jr., is a
~econd-grader.
Miss Rae is a member of Z
Club, American Field Service and
Spotlight
Honor Society. She is active in
the youth group of Mt. Olive
Lutheran ChUrch.
"I love to dance," she states,
"and I studied round dancing
with the Christmas Town
Rounders. I can't attend their
dances now because of my job,
and I miss it very much.
"My family is my. one true
hobby," she continues. "We are
very close. Sunday is Family Day,
and each member in turn chooses
the way,we will spend the day as
a group.
As a Shelton High School
senior Dale Rae studies
contemporary world problems,
sociology, chemistry, civics,
senior choir and swing choir. She
intends to major in physical
therapy in Western Washington
State College and will probably
complete work for her degree at
the Unive~ity of Washington.
"After that," she announces,
"1 want to enroll in Lutheran
Bible Institute in Seattle. I'll
never be tired of going to school.
"Perhaps," she adds, "I'U go
on to study physiotherapy."

On Wednesday at 8 p.m. in
their lodge on Craig Road, the
Elks will present to the public a
program demonstrating the
statewide care of crippled
children.
Exalted Ruler Herb Schram
has arranged for one of ten
Elks-supported professional
therapists to be present with a
crippled child to show all
interested persons how such
donations of money by members
of the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks.
Through the Elks state
association ten mobile therapy
units operated by ten professional
therapists visit more than 600
crippled children each month to
give free-of-charge therapy to the
patient and training to parents.
Any child regardless of race,
color or creed is eligible to receive
this service through the
recommendation of a doctor on
application to the Elks. The
service will continue until the
person is 21 years of age or until
the need no longer exists.
All donations to this cause are
invested in the Washington State
Elks Association therapy trust
fund, and only the interest is
used. The fund and interest grow
constantly, and the entire
earnings are spent in behalf of
children. There are no
administrative costs.
The public is welcome to
attend the program.

By Reporter Teri Tingvall
"Mother."
When he calls me "Mother" I
know l'm in trouble. I know then
that I have finally pushed him
beyond the flimsy limits of his
meager endurance.
"All right, Mother. What you
needed was a new stove. Why did
you spend your income tax
refund for a new horse?"
"It was this way... " I
mumbled humbly.
"There s no conceivable
excuse. You already had two
horses."
"Well!" 1 flared with a sudden
show of asperity. "If you're
counting noses, let's take a tally
of the stoves! I already have three
stoves! There they set; two
defunct electric ranges and one
rather rusty antique
wood-burning cookstove that
neither of my fair-weather
offspring have as yet foqnd time
to fix and install for me!"
"Uh... yeah. But the point
is, Mother, that none of these
stoves work."
"Neither of my geldings work,
either, in the capacity for which
the little new mare is intended."
"Neither of your geldings
work, period. Neither of those
creatures has done an honest
day's labor since you've owned
them, and I very much doubt that
your recent acquisition will ever
earn her groceries, either."
"She won't for a while," I
sighed. "She's terribly thin."
"Just why, may I ask, did you
buy a puny pony?"
"I had no choice!" I
exclaimed. "They were about to
send her to the slaughterhouse! A
nice old mare like that!"
"That's different. You had no
alternative, of course, but what
do you intend to do with her?"
"She's a perfect kid's horse;
for my grandchildren."
"Oh, really? Let's go look at
her!"
On the way to the barn 1 told
the story of the small
cream-colored mare who bore the
appellation of "Silver," which
seemed at first glance to be an
obvious misnomer.
No patina gleams upon her
scarred and tarnished surface,
yellowed "with the weight of
patient years. A pitiful
prominence of rib and hipbone
vies with an extensive overgrowth
of untrimmed hoof. Luxuriant
but matted, her unkempt mane
and tail in no way can be called
her crowning glory.
Like the rest of us old grey
mares, she isn't what she used to
be; but her big brown eye is
bright and her muzzle is soft and
friendly. Her ears are alert and
trusting, and her welcoming
nicker announces that in her heart
of hearts she's still a filly.
"Silver," if 1 may employ an
obsolete cliche, is as good as gold.
She may be considerably
depreciated, but with proper care
she will, in time, return to her
former beauty and value.
?
I have rechristened her
"Dollar," and I call her "Doll" for
short.
My kid looked at his watch.
"I have about an hour," he
mentioned speculatively.
"Oh, good!" I cried. "Maybe
you can work on my antique
woo d-burning cookstove !"
"Don't be silly," he said.
"There's a broken rail in the
corral and a loose board in
Dollie's stall and the barn door
doesn't hang right!"
"You're a chip off the old
block," I remarked.
Imagine my surprise when,
early the next morning, this same
kid appeared upon my premises
with a somewhaf dilapidated old
electric range maintaining a
wretched toehold within the
precarious confines of his ancient
truck.
"I bought you astove, Maw!"
"Does it work?" t
"The right rear burner does!

You'll have to get new elements
for the other three and a door for
the oven, but with a little tender
loving care she'll be fine!"
"Just set it over there with
the other three," I said miserably.
"1 sure don't understand why you
would buy yet another
non-functional stove."
