Harstine Men Try New Idea On Oyster Seed Production By CARMEN YATES • The year-old seed Chuck Bridges and Larry Saeger brought home to Harstine last week was a venture that was started early last summer. The individual oyster shells were first strung on seven foot wires. This was accomplished by first punch- ing a hole in the shell with a pointed hammer. Iola Shadbolt, Pete Brignon and Kathryn Bridges did the stringing for them. When the goal of 3,050 strings was reached last August they were then loaded on trucks Foresters Set Annual Meeting • Foresters from public agen- cies, forest products companies and colleges will be in Port Angeles, April 28 and 29 for the annual meeting of the Puget Sound Section of the Society of American Foresters.

After the strings of shell were unloaded at Dabob Bay a man by the name of Dick Steele takes .... over. The strings are loaded on barges, and taken out to the permanent racks. These racks, made out of creosoted lumber, are made very similar to a saw horse, such as carpenters use. Dabob Bay is very large and quite shallow, so that the rise and fall of the tide is never much over six feet. Being quite flat the depth is nearly the same in all parts of the bay. Late last August the news the two men were waiting to hear came. The oyster spawn was de- lected in the water and all signs indicated the venture was going to be a successful one. ters. The shells are broken, ideally into singles, but in some cases small clumps of two to three are left, making the job of opening the mature oysters much easier. These 3,050 strings are equiwi- lent to about 700 to 750 cases The tiny seed was allowed to winter over on the racks, as the location there offered more winter protection from storms, than would have been possible : : on the growers open beaches : here on the Island. This May when the seed had had nearly a year's growth the strings were hauled home. Then they are re- moved from the strings and put on barges and scattered in the seed beds. The job and prob* ably the most tedious one of all is breaking up the shell. This is done to keel) from. having the large clumps of mature oys- LEGIONNAIRES LISTEN--Minda Alcan- tara Cahiwell, a native of the Philipl)ine Is- lands, fascinated a group of American Le- gion members in Memorial Hall last week- end as she explained and demonstrated uses of native craft and materials.

Mrs. Faulkner now has the Purple Heart her hus- band Steve received from wounds inflicted during last month's conflict with the Viet Cong. Cpl. Faulkner is with the 2nd Brigade of the 4th Infantry Division. Here are some excerpts from letters to home; "People back in the States really can't realize what it is like over here. Sure people hear it is bad but until one experiences the sounds and sees the sights, they just don't 'know how the infantry lives. The sad part, it's only the infantry that goes through it. You never feel secure even when I was in the hospital there was always the threat of a V.C. mortar so one never can relax. I suppose when I get home, I'll be quite jumpy for awhile, be- cause now, as tired as I get the slightest little sound I'm makes me sick to think of all the draft dodgers." "It's funny, but no matter where you are in Viet Nam everyone has heard of C Co. 2nd of the 22nd. I guess we are doing a wonderful job in Viet Nam. It used to be the 1st Br. 5th Inf. (Mech) who was the big name but now the G.I.'s all talk about us. Really it makes me proud of our unit." "Since we have been here we have found more rice at one time of any unit since the war began, we have also found the biggest map found. I don't know if they say much in the papers back home, but I know over here we are well known. Everyone has started calling us the Tripple Dace. It does really make me proud for I know we have done a lot to help in the Viet Nam War." "We have been citated again for our efforts over here. This in it's self proves we have done a great deal over here." Note that he reiterates what so many veterans say when they come home. They do not want to talk tot) much about what has happened.
