HARSTINE ..... On Harstine, if
the man of the family does not
own a chain saw, his nose is as
much out of joint, as the kid who
does not own a bicycle. The fam-
ily man i~ not a member of "The
Group" unless he has the saw!
These men take better care of
the saw, and more pride in it, than
the housewife does, in her newest
kitchen gadget.
Dishwashers, freezers, mixmast-
ers for the kitchen, come only
after the saw has been purchased.
Owners of chain saws belong to
a kind of cult. They get on the:
ci~'ht party phone line, all talking i
and swaping notes, if they cammt
gather in groups, to show off man-
ipulation and accomplishments. All
the woodsheds on Harstine are
full of neatly piled chain-sawed
wood.
"The Group" gathers when the
individual wood shed is full, to
saw and fill the sheds of widows or
the Community Hall shed, all must
be full at all times, even in hot
summer! Painting, carpentry, gar-
dening and other fix-it jobs about
the house are neglected, if a log
floats up that can be sawed with
The Saw. The Saw owner is hap-
piest when on the Saw! This sport
is a noisey one!
Added to the box cars, pets and
fighter planes flying over and the

crepe soles, nail-less construction and water-

speed boats passing by, dogs bark-
ing at saw and planes, that's noise.
It may look like a last frontier on
Harstine, but it sure as heek does
not sound that way, and we pay
mainland taxes for all this!
Newest member of the chain
saw cult, is Ernie Byers. He just
bought a bright red, light-weight
super Home-Lite, real classy~ Er-
nie loves that saw so much he
carries it around in the family
car to show off. Looks like Mary
Byers will not get that new Easter
outfit this year!
Ernie already had one chain
saw, when he brought home the
new little red model, but the old
m,w was heavy, an old model. So
is Mary's last year's hat! The
same situation exists at The Ma-
ples, only the new little cutie saw
is bright blue.
Now, if you are not considering
an XL Super or XL super auto-
matic, or 190 Super self-propelled,
you aren't in the swim.
MAXINE WAITE and her mo-
ther Dot Smith, and Lois Meeksl
go into Shelton every Wednesday
night to Bowl with the Northwest
Evergreen Team in the Recreation
League. Sometimes they get a
special Ferry trip back to Island
at 9:30 p.m. if they do not fin-
ish their games until later, they
come over in a private boat, as
late as mid-night. More power
to you ladies, dedicated to a real
great game. We shall watch with
interest your scores in the Jour-
nal each week.
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Chaffec were
in Portland last week visiting rel-
atives.
By the way, just heard that we
own a new four-inch vice, which
opens up and we can now sharpen
our own chain saws!
Mr. and Mrs. Dewey Brignone
of Raymond were here last week
with their three children to visit
their parents, the Joe Brignones.
Everyone on Harstine is so hap-
py to welcome home Mr. and Mrs.
John Hitchcock. They have been
cruising around the Southwest of
USA having left Harstine just af-
ter Thanksgiving. Hunting rocks
near Yuma, Arizona was one of
the highlights of the trip. They
also made a trip into Death Val-
ley. The Allisons ~qth their shell
finds from Maul, Hawaii and the
Hitchcocks with their finds from
the desert areas are planning to
get together and compare notes.
The Jim McAuliffes returned
Thursday from a three-day stay in
Seattle at The Benjamin Frank-
lin Hotel, where they attended the
Rangers Workshop of the Wash-
ington State Parks and Recrea-
tion Commission. One hundred
Rangcrs and 50 wives attended.
The men were in meetings all
the time but the wives did get
around! According to Ella McAul-
iffe, who saw parts of Seattle for
the first time, "It is a very friend-
ly city and much easier to go
about in, than San Francisco",
let former home. Hi-lite of the
meetings was Gov. Dan Evans'
talk at the Wednesday evening
banquet.
Using no notes, The Governor
gave a witty and factual address,
pleasing to all. He pointed out the
need of nmre State Parks, in view

LILLIWAUP -- What she
termed a "harrowing experience,"
that turned out hilariously, was
reported by :Mrs. Florence Ross
in a letter to her daughter, Mrs.
Lewis Evans, describing how she
narrowly missed being left behind
at Kobe, Japan when her cruise
ship, the S.S. Iberia, sailed out
of that harbor.
Leading up to the incident was
a round of entertainment for Mrs.
Ross, who had a special mission in
Kobe to present the mayor with
a resolution from the Presidents'
Council of the Business and Pro-
fessional Women's Clubs of the
State of Washington. The clubs
have honored Seattla:s "Sister
City" by planting cherry trees in
every county of the state. While
in Kobe Mrs. Ross was interview-
ed in a press conference and was
entertained at a hincheon attend-
ed by the Consul General, the
U.S. Consul, and representative
people such as the Superintend-
ent of the Board of Education and
members of the press. There was
also a dinner hosted by the Kobe
business and Professional Women's
club.
As part of Kobe's hospitality,
Mrs. Ross was taken on a train
and taxicab tour of towns in the
vicinity during the afternoon be-
fore the ship was due to sail at
6 p.m., next port of call, Hong
Kong. Two Japanese ladies were
her hostesses and it was late af-
ternoon during a delightful day
that the traveler from Seattle be-
gan to worry about getting back
in time for sailing.
"Don't worry"! Mrs. Ross was
told by her e~orts, but when they
di~overed that her boat time was
6 p.m. and not 6:30 p.m. as they
had thought, they began to worry,
too. Aboard one of Japan's fast
electric trains, Mrs. Ross thought
it very slow, as she "prayed all
the way" that they would make
it back in time. One of the Jap-
anese women got off the train at
a station before Kobe and put
in a phone call to the local ship's
office, notifying them that a pas-
senger had been delayed.
Dashing down the many steps
after leaving the elevated train,
the other women got a cab and
the driver took off through back
streets to avoid traffic.
Meanwhile back at the ship,
word had come through the phone
call and had got around that a
woman was being left behind in
Japan. They had started to pull
up the gangplank, but waited af-
ter the call and there was quite
a cheering section (also some boo-
ing, initiated by her friends from
Lilliwaup) as Florence Ross
alighted from the cab. Her Jap-
anese companion, who was carry-
ing Mrs. Ross' large handbag that
had been the butt of jokes by her
fellow passengers, ran ahead of
her up the gangplank and hand-
ed it to the ship's officer who
had come part way to meet them.
When Mrs. Ross reached the deck
she feJl exhausted into the arms
tion. Likewise compared our state,
19th in population, to other areas,
like Europe. Fl~m the center of
the State or from Seattle, one
can in two hours reach, water or
mountain skiing, be by the sea or
in the desert.
Service pins were awarded at
the banquet to those in service
five, 10 and 15 years. Rangers
from all parts of our state at-
tended this important meeting.
The McAuliffes had a fine time
in Seattle, but they were mighty
glad to be back on Harstine.
The Women's Club will meet
Thursday at 12:30 p.m. in the
home of Mrs. AI Pridham. Mrs.
Gene Seward will be hostess. No
program is planned, probably, just
a visiting session and discussion
in the business hour, about plans
to entertain the Pickering club at
the usual ham luncheon.
IT TAKES something important
to get anyone away from Har-
stine in this busy season of clean-
ing up the gardens and getting
ready to plant. So, it was with
the Charles Allison, they went in-
to Seattle last Satmxiay for the
day to attend the open house on
the new Fo,ss Tug, "Henry Foss",
son Charlie is on the crew of the
new tug. Maybe some of you saw
on TV last Monday night, pictures
of the Tug and Foss operations.
"The Henry Foss" is the most
powerful tug in tim Western Hem-
isphere, believed to be likewise,
the best sea-going tug.
This tug is 149 feet long, 33 feet
wide, 17 feet draft. Power 5000
h.p. Two 2500 h.p. engines turn one
11 foot diameter controlable pitch
propeller, 210 revolutions per min-
ute. The Henry Foss carl~Ics
150,000 gallons of fuel for 35 days
at full power. The tug is capable
of16 knots on two engines, 14
knots on One.
It s a real great show to visit
The Foss operations on W. Ewing
Street in Seattle. We see their
smaller tugs towing this and that
around Harstine frequently. Us-
ually they are anchored near the
State Park on Squaxon, waiting
for the tide to change~. so they can
go into Hammcrslcy inlet and to
Shelton for a tow to or fronl
Simpson.
MRS. J. P. SMITH and Mr. and
Mrs J?~ Brignone were co-host
and hodtcs~es to their cmxt club
Saturday night in the Harst.ine
Hall.
Friday night the club that cele-
brate '"39th birthdays and anni-
versaries met at the home of A1

Cul[ochs attended the festivities.
Last week the Al Pridhams at-
tended the Dicks Week Personal

sored by radio KTAC Tacoma. The

Governor's MansiOn. We have a'

Savage, or same arrangements
could be made through the club
above mentioned.
of another officer. The gang plank
was raised at 6:05 p.m.
Despite the size and weight of
the handbag, Mrs. Ross did not
have sufficient funds with her to
pay for a plane trip to Hong Kong.
Her friends were beginning to
think she was enjoying herself
so much in Kobe that she might
have decided to do just that. When
she was safely aboard, the Allie
Robinsons, Mrs. oe Seeva and her
friend, Mrs. Aimiee Fuhrmeister of
Tacoma, Joined in a "Ben Voyage"
party, with Mrs. Ross the guest
of honor.
In Hong Kong the local travel-
ers were entranced with the shops
and felt fortunate to have the ad-
vice and assistance of a friend of
Mrs. Ross living in H(mg Kong.
