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". eawfeR Liswrt.,I 6OOMAIO CARRIES HER NEARS, "1"1~ E "TO l i Speaking of people, brin ! your friends in today for fa,'t efficient service.
