own still means something.
Here in the Socialistic State of
California our property rights are
slowly being taken away. Please
let me explain.
In the city where we live the
anti-growth people want to put a
greenbelt around our city. If a
person owns a farm within the
greenbelt they can only farm on
it; they can not divide it into lots
to build on or they will be break-
ing the law and won't be permit-
ted to do so.
Recently I read an article in
which A1 Gore wants to float $10
billion worth of bonds to help
cities control their outward
growth.
The article stated that A1
Gore's vision is to have high-dens-
ity population in towns and cities
and to create greenbelts around
the populations of people.
Al Gore's vision is to prevent
sprawl outside of city boundaries
and to keep the forest free of peo-
ple. Does this sound familiar Ma-
son County?
Why is it when someone in
Washington, D.C., comes up with
an idea, every state in the union
thinks it's a good idea and the
taxpayers have to suffer?
I sometimes wonder where
these anti-growth groups get
their marching orders from, don't
you?
We must elect to office officials
that have our interest at heart
and not push someone's agenda
coming from Washington, D.C.,
Sacramento or Olympia.
I don't care whether our elect-
ed officials are Democrats or Re-
publicans. They work for us, not
the other way around. We voted
them into office and we can vote
them out of office if our rights as
citizens are not protected.
God bless America.

Editor, The Journal:
Could you please publish my
letter in your paper so that your
readers might help me with re-
search about your state?
In my seventh-grade social
studies class in Chicago, we are
studying United States history.
One of our assignments is to
write a research paper about a
particular state and how it re-
lates to the history of the country.
I have chosen Washington as the
subject of my research.
I would very much appreciate
if your readers could send me
items that would be of interest.
Post cards, newspapers with
unique features about Washing-
ton, clippings, articles, video-
tapes, old license plates, unique
products from your region or
other items that might help geog-
raphy and history to come alive in
my classroom. We are to present
a report to the class, and any-

Editor, The Journal:
As a first-time participant in
the Mason County Science and
Engineering Fair I was extremely
impressed with the experience for
me (not being a "natural born"
scientist) and for the students in
my class. The most remarkable
part of the experience was the
judges, none of whom I knew, but
all of whom showed genuine in-
terest, respect and appropriate-
ness in their questioning and de-
meanor with my young, nervous
students. They seriously regarded
the students and their work. For
once, the first-graders were re-
garded as the experts! If you were
among that select group of indi-
viduals, I commend you for your
work!

thing especially interesting would
make my report the best in the
class. Please help me learn about
your state and spark the interest
of my classmates.
Our school is on the northern
side of Chicago, about six miles
from the downtown area (The
Loop). We have about 100 stu-
dents in the seventh grade and
about 1,000 students in our build-
ing (K-8). Most of our students
are either immigrants or children
of recent immigrants. We have
students from many parts of the
world - Mexico, Bulgaria, Korea,
Nigeria, India, Bosnia, Vietnam,
Guatemala, The Philippines and
many other places. Most of the
students have not lived outside
Chicago.
I was born in Chicago, but my
parents are from Mexico. I enjoy
watching Cubs games and also
watching Sammy Sosa hit some
home runs. I also like to play
baseball. I chose Washington be-
cause I want to learn something I
haven't learned about it.
I look forward to receiving
mail. Thank you for your interest
in my education and your kind-
ness. My address is Budlong Ele-
mentary, Room 403, 2701 West
Foster Avenue, Chicago, Illinois,
60625.

by Paul Bunyan and Smokey

Forest Festival, Densley said,
was founded in 1945 to celebrate
the lumber industry and remind
residents to keep their forests
green. "In those early years, a
huge outdoor pageant was pre-
sented by hundreds of local
schoolchildren," Densley said.
'roday, many county adults recall
their experiences in the pageant
with affection.
"Last year the Forest Festival
board commissioned an historical
play to be written that would
again involve the young people of
Mason County. Narration and

nated by Shelton studio personnel
of Post Modern Media.
"THE RESULTS were pre-
