Harstine By CARMEN YATES This Friday evening Grange meeting will be preceded by a potluck supper. Don't forget to bring your table service and some goodies and be at the hall by 6:30 p.m. Following the opening of the Grange will be the lecturer's hour prior to regular business. The lecturer's hour will feature Paul Everett as guest speaker. Please note: this portion of the Grange is open to non.members as well as regular members. So if there are any questions that are bothering any of you readers concerning the upcoming Pioneer levy, please feel welcome to attend this talk. It should begin about 8 p.m. Paul Everett also spoke at last Friday evening's Community Club meeting. He presented the Pioneer facts in a very concise, easy-to-understand talk that showed that next year's (1975-1976) budget to operate Pioneer School is one percent less than this year's budget, although there has been inflation at the rate of 12 percent and also a 14 percent raise in the number of students since 1973. He further showed that a defeat of the levy would, and will in all probability, result in consolidation which will no matter which way one slices it mean more, much more taxes. For the past several weeks Bob and Ethel Phillips of Hartstene Pointe had included in their plans a trip to Boise, Idaho to attend a three-day convention of the Northwest Association of Forensic Scientists. A day or so before they were scheduled to leave, Bob received a summons to appear to testify at a trial in Eugene, Oregon. This unexpected side trip delayed them by one day. The three-day session began Wednesday morning and they arrived Wednesday evening. The convention takes in professional people from Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. Those attending include doctors, pathologists, document examiners or anyone who investigates criminal matter with a scientific approach. These gatherings are held twice a year. The next meeting is set for this fall in Eugene, Oregon. Bob and Ethel took with them a real taste treat for the other guests ... a batch of freshly-caught and home-smoked Puget Sound salmon; the only problem being, everyone is going to expect more of same. Enroute home from the convention they stopped in Pendleton and learned that a long-time business associate and close friend had drowned just the day before (Saturday). Water Problems?

The two men drove the open-air fire truck down to the island from Renton in a cold, blinding snowstorm. Saturday Bob and his family were enjoying a weekend at the beach near Tillamook when a Boy Scoutmaster approached Harold and expressed concern that two of the Explorer Scouts in his group were missing. So Harold and his son volunteered to help look for the two missing boys. The area where the boys were missing was a rugged beach with numerous shallow caves at the foot of high banks. Harold and his son were in the process of looking ;ook studies facts about Devil's Triangle stories In the current vogue for the irrational, searchers for Atlantis, surveyors of the Great Pyramid, and Daniken and his interplanetary construction crew have momentarily yielded pride of place to true believers in the Bermuda Triangle, an area in the Atlantic formed by lines drawn from Bermuda to Florida to Puerto Rico and back to Bermuda, in which, according to legend, an inordinate number of ships and planes have, over the years, vanished completely in the creepiest circumstances imaginable. Explanations offered by devotees of the legend include strange magnetic forces, time warps, and visitors from other planets picking up human samples for closer study on home turf. Triangle tales have served as the subject of numerous books, TV programs, and articles in such journals as Argosy, Male, Saga and Cosmopolitan. In 1972, Lawrence David Kusche, a reference librarian at Arizona State University and pilot by avocation, faced with an increasing number of questions about the Triangle and a dearth of information thereon, began the research that resulted in "The Bermuda Triangle Mystery - Solved." Kusche found that most of the disappearances, under scrutiny, proved to be the apparent result of extremely bad weather, a fact omitted in the legend; other cases were traceable to known structural defects in the vessels in question or to the volatile nature of their cargoes (one ship, which had carried benzene, simply blew up). The disappearance of a 63-foot charter fishing boat lost most of its mystery when it was revealed that it had sailed with 55 passengers and 19 tons of ice. Several of the incidents, he found, did not occur in the Triangle at all; the crash of a Globemaster in 1951 occurred off the coast of Ireland. In the celebrated case of the five Avenger bombers that vanished in 1945, Kusche presents official records that yield a more convincing, if mundane, explanation than the presence of a "black hole in space" that swallowed them up. Kusche concludes that "The Legend of the Bermuda Triangle is a manufactured mystery. It began because of careless research and was elaborated upon and perpetuated by writers who either purposely or unknowingly made use of misconceptions, faulty reasoning, and sensationalism." And he adds, with the incurable optimism of the born rationalist: "Perhaps we are beginning to grow a bit weary of being constantly bombarded by spectacular unsolved mysteries."

Harold was looking in one of these caves when a large wave caught him unawares and swept him from sight right before the eyes of his son. Some time later the two "missing" boys returned. While Bob and Ethel were gone for six days on a trip which covered 1,500 miles and brought both good and bad, they had Hilda Williams acting as housesitter for them. Last Saturday about 12 islanders showed up for the scheduled cemetery clean-up. The group did an overall clean-up and a bit of burning. This past Saturday was birthday-day here at Spencer Cove. Early Saturday morning this reporter accompanied by daughter Lisa and her friend, Lisa Cook, headed the family flivver north with a destination of Port Townsend to pick up a close friend of the two gale, Sandra Williamson. Sandra and her family formerly lived at Timberlakes and more than a year ago moved to Whidbey Island. Bonnie Williamson accompanied her daughter Sandra across the ferry where the two girls and I met her in Port Townsend. Sandra stayed here on the island with Lisa over the weekend. Then on Tuesday she accompanied Lisa to school at Pioneer to visit her other old friends and former classmates. Her father picked her up after attending a business meeting in Puyallup. Saturday was also Annie Yates' birthday. A group of gale, including Dorothy EnD, Hilda Williams, Thora Seward and Helen Lammers, got together and took Annie out to lunch to celebrate her day. 1817 Oly" For Auto call i New Buildings -- Remodel -- Repairs RICK & DEE SPERLING =) 4 A recent survey* asked consumers eight basic questions about their attitudes toward The overwhelmingly positive response, by both men and women, was to newspaper Attitud rtisin e ICI Newspaper Ads Men Women Positive Responses (Net)91% 94'/ Advertises things 1 can use ....... ......... 76(/,, 78% Trustworthy .............. 56 59 Most likely to give enough facts so ! can buy intelli- gently .................57 63 You can easily com- pare prices for different supermarkets... 77 85 Best kind of store advertising 77 81 Negative Responses (Net)... 31% 27( Annoying .................. 5% 3%, Makes products seem better than they are ...... 21 17 Never has the adver- tising when you need it... 14 13 Commercials on TV Men Women Men 40% 28%, 18 !0 Radio Corn mercials Women 3 11 81% 51'/ 73 18 41% 31% 29% 20% 16 15 I1 6 4 2 11 7 80% 54% 48% 33% 74 38 14 15 26%, 16% 14 5 2 6 48% 27% 33 sent the Men 22% 13 15 7 12 "~ / ;/i 68______% ; 47% 46 It 12 22 Bases: (3,835 women) (2,704 men) Week after k The Journal is your most e means of reachin the people of Mason Cou i *Conduct, d by Response Analysis Corporation of Princeton, New Jersey in May and June of 1974.
