By Liz Allison 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 IAghtwe;ght, rugged - and alive with Red Wing's "irish Setier'; A REAL RED With oil-tanned Ore'Russet 6~ uppers, Traction- crepe soles, nail-less construction and water- COunters.

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.

Managed & Operated by HRISTENSEN,S FOR SHOES, Bremerton By Frances Catto 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.

Charles 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.
