Will have Forest COnnie Tuson and noon meeting REPRESENTATIVES from the Christmas tree industry explain minor forest products to Mason County sixth-graders at the Panhandle Lake 4-H Camp. 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. Ph. 426-8 139 "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.

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.
