Harstine By CARMEN YATES This past week there has been such a wide variety of things going on that I am at a real loss to know just which item to use for my lead°story. Those choices include: Saturday's litter pick-up or the Yacht Club dance that same day; then, too, there's the Penny Drive which began May 1st or perhaps this week's Conmmnity Club meeting and last, but not least, the island's own first-place dance winners in Olympia last Saturday evening. So which one of those or perhaps even others would you pick if you were writing this column? Oh heck, I just threw them all in a hat and am now pulling out.., let me see.., yes, h er e we g o. The first place dancers came to the top, like cream on milk. i.ast Saturday with nerves a-twitter Roger Hammond and Teresa Bingen headed for Seattle and the Tyee High School in particular. This is the first year the Annual Pacific Northwest Teen Square Dance Festival has been held within the United States. Previously this event has always taken place in British Columbia and on many occasions before the Oueen of England. Roger and Teresa worked on their round dance routine and, for their efforts and much practice, they were richly rewarded with a first place win in the teenage contest. Altogether they brought home to Shelton blue ribbons, a large trophy (which the dance club they belong to, the Christmastown Rounders, will keep on display for one year) and an individual trophy for both Roger and Teresa to keep always. The young couple was the only entry in the dance festival from Shelton to participate in the contest. Next item out of the hat: The Spring Litter Pick-up Party. Last Saturday three pickups, six adults and seven young folk gathered at the Community Hall to map a course for cleaning up the island's many miles of roads. One of the pickups headed for the Hartstene Pointe entrance gate and from there with four youngsters headed back towards the bridge. The second pickup started at the Community Hall and headed south and then down the "low road" to the bridge. The third pickup proceeded south from the mailbox corner in the center of the island. Several hours later the three pickups met and a picture was taken of the total amount of litter. Part of the total had been gathered earlier in the week by a mother and her two sons who knew they wouldn't be able to take part in Saturday's litter party. The accumulation totaled two very full pickups and a bit less in the third. The recyclable bottles and aluminum cans were delivered to the sixth grade project at Pioneer. Another date will be set to clean up the five or six side roads not covered last Saturday. What's next, hat? The Penny Drive? Okay. The chairman of the Orthopedic Penny Drive here on the island is Hilda Williams and for Picketing, Jessie Schroeder of Phillips Lake. The Pickering-Harstine Orthopedic recently held a meeting at the home of Eileen Cruickshank. At that time an election of officers was held with Grace Campbell, president; Eileen Cruickshank, secretary-treasurer being elected. New members of the group include Velma Lawrence, Ethel Phillips and Edith Bowers of Harstine and also Jessie Schroeder of the Pickering gals. Next? Let's have a report on the dance sponsored by the Shelton Yacht Club last Saturday evening. Sometime ago the Community Club was approached by a committee from the Shelton Yacht Club to rent the Community Hall for a dance. The arrangements were made and all members of the club were invited to attend as guests. The Shelton Yacht Club was acting as host club to Gig Harbor, Olympia and Day Island of Tacoma. Stormy weather with gusty winds thwarted the best intentions of the Day Island folk, but otherwise there was a good turnout for the dance. The terrific music for dancing was provided by the "Rhythmaires" of Silverdale. The four-piece band included an electric organ, drums, a saxophone and a trombone. (Bet it's been a long while since the latter has been heard in ye old ham) An hour or two after the dance was well underway a special surprise announcement was made. The surprise: an honorary dance and special party for the retirement of Dr. S. B. Furby and THIS IS I~ART of the accumulation of litter which was collected along the main roads on Harstine Island during a volunteer litter pick-up Saturday. • In Memory of George W.

Special invitation to Community Club members was issued by the commodore of the Shelton Yacht Club. The club members presented the couple with a nautical l~np. Fred and Lucy Myers would very much like to express their thanks in appreciation to the Mason County deputies who so promptly answered their recent call for help when Fred's sister suffered a severe heart attack while visiting them from Tacoma. The Women's Club held its May meeting at the Hartstene Pointe clubhouse last Thursday. The gals welcomed the newest member of the club, Olive Richards, from the Pointe. This week marks the regular meeting of the Community Club at the hall this Friday evening. Time is 7:30 p.m. Guest speaker will be Paul Everett. Fair Harbor Grange will host the Pomona Grange tonight. The meeting will be preceded by a dinner at $1.75 per person.
