TIlE CAI{ETAKER' cottage, overlooking the recreation hall. softball field and the lake, was completed sufficiently by I)ecem- bet of 1948 that Mr. and Mrs. Eric Alfordson. caretakers, were able to move in The house, meas- ] uring 20 by 26 feet, has three bed- rooms, kitchen, (lining room and I living room.

Another project of which the] 4-H youngsters 'ire proud is a I camping area which they clea]'e(tl from the woods a short distan(.e from tile recreation hall. Com- pletely surrounded i)y firs, salal and loose brush, it is a clean- smelling garden suited for sturdy tents. In the center of the cluster of buildings is a water tank balanced 31 feet above the ground secured on the top ,of a four-legged tow- er. The tank insures a constant flow of water in the kitchen's ,inks. caretaker's house, outdoor faucets. The towel' wan built. and the well was dug last Sum- mer. NEAR TilE SHORE of the lake the 4-H groups are carving from the brush an outdoor amp,thea- ter. Benches will be placed around a semi-circle of sheltering trees, and in the center will be an outdoor barbecue pit. Most expensive piece of con- struction, a new dining hall, will begin growing in mid-April when groups of youngsters and adults resume work that was suspended during the colder days in Winter. Ah'eady staked out, the building will measure 32 by 68 feet. The lumber, donated last year by SimpsOn Logging Company, is neatly stacked on the softball field ready for the carpenters' hands.

THE FORIIM Deal" Eritor: In behalf of the Mason County Ministerial Association," I wish to express our sincere thanks to the advertisers of the Mason County Journal for their splendid cooper- ation in getting the "Go to Church Sunday" campaign off to a good start. The business firms "and in- dividuals in the county are to be commended for their willingness to promote a non-sectarian plan for the engaging of the people in Shelton and the surrounding areas of our county in church worship somewhere each Sunday. The ministers are equally ap- nreeiative of all that the Journal has done to promote this neces- sary factor in our home and com- munity life. It is good to see the newspaper, advertisers and churehes working together for the enrichment of the spiritual life of all individuals throughout this area. We believe God is pleased with such cooperation, and will honor our combined efforts in this direction. We further believe that "Oo to Church Sunday" will be- come a reality for hundreds of our citizens who have been ne- glecting this all important social and spiritual obligation. Sincerely yours, Paul Sweeney, Pator Hood Canal Community Church, Hoodsport, Wn.
