By Nancy Stoddelt
As a. little girl, each year I
looked forward to the gay, color-
ful festival time. Then as I grew
older and progressed in school,
my class often helped in preparing
the school fh)at. It was always
a last minute st~uzggle to get the
float ready ill time. After days of
work, the float was finally fin-
ishcd and the next thought was
to watch for it in the parade.
WCC Employes Attend
State Labor Conclave
Six employees of tile Washing-
toll Corrections Center will be
in Vancouver, Wash., Sahn'day and
Sunday to reprcsent employees o£
the institution at the biennial con-
vention of the Washington Fed-
oration of State Employees (AFL-
CIO).
Attending as delegates will be
Raymond N. Silva, Carl O. Down-
ing and Eugene E. Hyatt. Bert L.
Scoggins, William D. Selby Jr. and
Raymond L. Dodd will attcnd as
alternates.
They will be among 325 dele-
gates and alternates at the con-
clave, which will discuss problems
concerning more than 7,500 mem-
bers employed in state institu-
tions and offices throughout the
state.
One form of entertainment was
provided by Steve Daugherty, Lar-
ry Ewing, Steve Fellstrom and
John Snyder, who wrestled a fer-
ocious and merciless lion (Dan
Barrom) while Daron Taylor re-
fereed.
Mary Connolly, a mysterious
and venerable prophetess, foretold
the future.
Lisa G(fldschmid presented the
puppet show which she herself ar-
ranged.
Besides those listed above, many
other Latin Club members con-
tributed their efforts to make the
fe~iva,l a success, by mal~ing
scenery painting, bringing food,
working ill booths, etc.
The students who have been
working in the A.F.S. project an-
nounced this week. that they will
sponsor a pie throwing booth at
the Forest Festival festivities this
weekend. Tile pies will cost. 15
cents apiece. The money is to be
put into the foreign student fund.
It was estimated that between
150-200 people attended tile Delta
Kappa Gamma Dinner May 12, in
the Multi-purpose room.
Honored were the senior stud-
ents who have retained a "B" or
better average during their high
school education.
Also present were the guests
of the honored students, faculty
members of the grade schools,
junior high and scnior high school,
and Delta Kappa Gamma mem-
bel's.
The Jmfior Honor Society mem-
bers servcd at the banquet.
BUY AND WEAR YOUR
FOREST FESTIVAL BUTTON
I renlember tile hectic times my
family and I had getting to Shel-
ton in time, finding a place to
park, and reaching the street
where we could watch the parade.
The coh)rful floats and gay band
numbers left not a dull moment.
After attending several Forest
Fcstiwfls, I began to re~tlize the
true meaning which the Forest
Festiwtl holds. The floats were al-
ways ciecora.ted with slogans such
as "Keep Washington Green, Help
Prevent Forest Fires", and many
more colorful reminders. The
scenes these floats depicted, help-
ed me to realize the importance
of protecting our forests for our-
selves and fllture generations. For-
est Preservation has been the true
meaning of the Forest Festival
through the years. More than this,
each year. some person m' group is
honored for their contribution to
the history of Mason County.
This year, we salute Simpson
Timber Company for 75 years of
service to the pcople of Washing-
t(m State and especially Mason
County. They have not only played
an important part in the h~tory
of the Pacific Northwest, but have
continued to increasc the many
uses for our abundant forests.
They have trolly put to use the
"Green Power" of our wonderland
of trees. From the start of their
horse logging and skid roads, to
steam donkeys and steam locomo.
tives to their modern day methods
of logging, they have continual-
ly contributed to the development
of many new forest products.
FEW FOREST communities can
equal the demonstration of
wood utilization as seen on the
waterfront of Shelton. Here, logs
from the surrounding forests, are
milled into pulp, lumber, plywood,
insulating board, acoustical tiles,
and other new products.
I sincerely believe Simpson Tim-
ber Company has earned our For-
est Festival Salute for 1965.
Prevention of Forest fires, con-
:~erving our trees and wildlife---in
general keeping our forests green,
assures ourselves and fuhzre gen-
erations the opportunity of em-
ployment and the pleasure of out-
door recreation.
A chance for all to utilize the
"Green Poveer" of our forests.
These are the things the Forest
Festival means to me.
I am happy and proud to be a
part of this year's Forest Festival
program.
READY TO RIDE--All decked out in the costumes ,of their name-
sakes, the first cowboys, the Valley Vaqueros 4-H Horse Club
members prepare to ride in the Paul Bunyan Parade for the Forest
Festival Saturday.
Appearing in the Paul Bunyan many hours of horseback riding
t:arade this year will be a group
of young 4-H Horse Club mem-
bers whose name and costumes
will bring thoughts of the first
cowboys who rode their horses
tending cattle in what is now the
United States.
Ride, cowboy, ride! Hearing this
often-used phrase brings to mind
the American image of the cow-
boy seen on TV from our a:-m-
chairs with galloping horses, wa-
gon trai}ls, 'and large herds of
cattle bringing UP the dus~y rear.
There is however, in Our history
of the late 1700's in Southm:n CaN
ifornia, a cowboy of a different
name, the Vaquero, a Spanish
name coming. from the word Va-
querizo which means cow-herd.
The first Vaqueros came to Cali-
fornia lathe late spring of 1769
with the Portoia expedition along
with the Franciscan Friars who
built missions from San Diego to
San Francisco.
The strong grass in the new
land developed large herds of cat-
tie and horses in just a very few
years, necessitating many riders tG
tend the herds. This also required
which remflted in horsemen who
became famous for their skill in
breaking and training their
mounts.
The saddles used are basically
the same kind used today in Old
Mexico. Clothing worn consisted
of a low crowned broad brimmed
hat; a cc~rse homespun wool shirt;
buttonrup-the.sido pants held in
place with a red sash; knee length
leather leggings that protected
the legg from heavy bnmh; boots
as we know them were not worn
but rather a low shoe with tutored
up toes and low heels to which
were attached massive iron spurs,
some of which measured 10z~ inch-
es overall length with six inches
in diameter six point rowels. These
spurs were never gouged into the
sides of a horse as is seen nowa-
days but were used only very
lightly to encourage the horse in
nefficult moments. The skill of
these people with the reata (rope),
the hackamore, and the spade bit
became legendaLy and has almost
vanished into the dust of time--
cars, planes, and atom bombs.
NOW THAT HORSES are be-
eonliFlg })opul3r agail~ as a ,qouree
I)[ J'eclt:~tii~)ll dltti £a,uiiy p,'o.it'ut~,
n~azly youngsters are wanting
morn and dad to buy a horse. This
can be a prol)lem, how does one
learn about horses? Many persons
knowledge of livestock is limited
having spent most of their lives
in cities. One of the fastest grow-
ing methods of learning about hor-
ses and farm animals is through
4-H groups. In Shelton we have
,~k~veral 4-H groups which are
work with horses. A group in Sko-
komish Valley under the leader-
ship of Mrs. Jim Hunter, a horse-
man herself, has celebrated their
first year a.s the Valley Vaqueros.
Beth Ann Robbins, Jamic Smith,
Cindy Anderson, Jayni and Curt
Hunter, Randy and Mike Lindcr,
Benny Baze, Artie and Ewm To-
zier are charter members. The Va-
queros will have a window disphty
Forest Festival week at Millers.
'Window arrangements will be un-
der the direction of Mrs. Russell
Smith of Lilliwaup, assisted by
Mrs. Bart Robbins, Mrs. Bud To-
zier and Mrs. Jim Hunter.
In general the 4-H members
must own or have access to 80
percent of the time to a horse.
He must contrib~tte 75 percent of
the work in caring for the animal
which includes feeding, grooming,
exercising, training, and stall man-
agement. Some of the objectives
of 4-H hm'se projects are to de-
velop leadership, sportsmanship,
and initiative; to learn skill in
horsemanship, and understand the
business of breeding, raising, arLd
training horses; to develop a
greater love for animals and a hu-
mane attitude toward them; to
mderstand that horseback riding
m a healt]~y, wholesome form of
recreation. 4-It nlembers learn ma-
ny l.hings about the structure of
J’
the h()rse and the de\,elormlenL of
~ood bone, eyesight, wind, and
coat through proper feed and care.
How to select proper fitting cquip-
meat to hell) prevent sore ba.cks
and damaged mouths. He raider-
stands a horse is a great deal like
an automobile---they come in many
sizes, colors and styles with prises
to fit most pockethbooks, however,
only the thorough, proper care and
vigilance they continue to serve
the purpose for which they were
intended.
Yes, through 4-H leadership
these ymmgsters are becoming
true Vaqueros of the Northwest,
making a page for our history
books of the future. "Who knows?
Perhaps 200 ycars from now the
moon dwellers may be watching
their TVs, dreaming themselves
on horseback loping across the
green meadows and through the
tall trees of Skokomish Valley
hearing the cry, "Ride Cowboy,
Ride".
