REPRESENTATIVES from the Christmas tree industry explain minor forest products

trip on uses of the forests. A
presentation by government and
industry, which has been
conducted for about 20 years, led
400 children from six Mason
County school districts around
the Panhandle Lake 4-H Camp
where talks and demonstrations
were set up among the trees.
The presentation was
organized by Harold Van De Riet
of the Washington State
University Extension Service with
the joint effort of the Soil
Conservation Service, Simpson
Timber, Department of Natural
Resources, I TT-Rayonier,
Washington State Game
Department, U.S. Forest Service,
and representatives from the
Christmas tree industry.
The reason for the annual
field trip, Van De Reit said, is
becausse the forests are a central
part of Mason County residents'
lives.
"We're all tied in so tightly to
the forest industry. Our paycheck
comes from it directly or
indirectly. One girl said her father
was a lawyer and not connected
to the industry. But I pointed out
that he might have clients who
are," Van De Riet said.
Planning began last March for
the morning presentation. Eight
stops, or stations, were planted
around the campground where
the sixth-grade classes listened to
and asked questions of experts on
various aspects of the forest.
Topics about which the
children learned included minor
forest products, forest damage,
tree identification, soil
conservation, forest ecology, fire
control, reforestation, and forest
production.
The last station on the agenda
was the "pop stop," a quick jaunt
indoors to pick up a can of soda
pop.

"Everyone has the ability to
tell interesting stories becausse
everyone has an imagination," Dr.
Spencer Shaw, professor at the
school of librarianship at the
University of Washington, said
during a story-telling workshop at
the Timberland South Mason
Library April 22.
"As.we grow older we are told
to channel our imagination, but
when freed, it can convey our
Forest land grading
meeting scheduled
The Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) will hold public
hearings throughout the state
during the next two months on
the new private forest land
grading program.
One of the meetings has been
scheduled at 7:30 p.m. May 22 at
the Belfair Firehall.
The basic objective of the
land grading program is to
equalize assessment rates on
privately-owned timberlands
consisting of 20 acres or more as
required by the state timber tax
law.
About nine million acres of
privately-owned forest land will
be evaluated on its potential to
produce merchantable timber
crops.
Data will be collected on soil
types, drainage and erosion
problems, management practices
and accessibility of the land. This
information will be given to the
State Department of Revenue
which will be responsible for the
actual establishment of forest
land values.
The program was authorized
by the 1974 Legislature and is
scheduled for completion by July
1, 1980.
The project is a cooperative
effort between the DNR and the
Soil Conservation Service.

belief in stories we tell."
The workshop, which was
attended by more than 50 school
and library personnel and
interested adults, was
co-sponsored by the Shelton
School District and the
Timberland Regional Library. In
his talk Dr. Spencer covered the
techniques of story-telling,
selection of materials and
professional aids for the story
teller.
"Children like to have stories
retold over and over again," he
said. "This is because they do not
catch everything the first time.
Each retelling can give them new
information. It is like studying a
picture. It can represent different
things to you on each viewing."
Dr. Spencer emphasized one
of the important factors to
consider in story-telling is the
introduction. "When someone is
unenthusiastically introduced or
the audience is informed
apathetically, 'So and so is here to
tell a story,' many children are
turned off before you have a
chance to begin.
"Once you do start you must
use your imagination, voice and
gestures to convey the story. And
you must do this with dignity and
artistry.
"The story may be for the
audience, but you must not let
the audience control your
presentation. You must keep
control and present the story
effectively. It can be a showcase
for the English language. This
makes story-telling an ideal way
to teach bilingual people. Even
stretch exercises that allow the
audience to relax before the next
story can be designed to teach
young children the various parts
of their anatomy."
The program was pre-arranged
by Yvonne Peterson, Indian
instructor service coordinator at
Shelton High School. A lunch was
provided by the South Mason
library staff and two students
from the Indian Youth Club and
featured fry bread, an Indian
recipe made of dough fried in hot
oil.
Dr. Shaw expressed regret
that in this area very few people
have heard stories from native
Americans. He finds them
interesting and a basic part of our
cultural background that shoukl
not be ignored. He stressed
recording these stories now. Later
the stories could be translated (if
necessary) and put into readable
format.
