Kiwanians get truckin' on float Kristmastown Kiwanis members take a break during a final work session on this year's new Forest Festival float. Queen Hannah Kuhnau, Paul Bunyan Jacob Geist, and the Forest Festival court will ride aboard this replica of an early-days logging truck designed by AI Tupper, right. Proud of their handiwork are helpers (from left) Jack Morgan, Tom Myers and Jim Teager, with Gary Olson in the cab. Also as- sisting were Dale Smith, Clyde Robb and Daniel Marler. The Kiwanians have been working on the float at the Port of Shelton for the past three months. Historic footage from lest can be seen Saturday night with that want, to continue J0;' ect, and of course we do, ..... ard said. She hones that wdl a?y pen within the year, a[g n i the acquisition of the lvu.on. Ring of Fire. But in the ,:it time, "They're too exciting v Some historic Forest Festival movie footage showed up at the Mason County Historical Society just in time to air along with a classic 1930s box office hit sched- uled to play Saturday evening at Saint David's Hall in downtown Shelton. The 1932 film 42nd Street was already scheduled for a showing at 7 p.m. Saturday in the Saint David's Film Series. Now it will share billing with about 20 minutes of footage belonging to the late Dave James, publicity man for Simpson Timber Compa- ny. Organist Andy Crow, the Northwest's acclaimed accompan- ist for silent films, will introduce the Dick Powell box office hit 42nd Street, an early "talkie." A little later, he'll play train and parade music to set off James's views of early-day Shelton revel- ries. THE FILM of Forest Festival 1946 "shows a Shelton downtown very different from that of today," says Father Don Maddux, who previewed the film Sunday, the, day after Karen James brought it to the museum. "The film begins in the Simpson Roundhouse which occupied the site of Shel- tows Key Bank. "An early Satsop Railroad en- gine is shown on a turntable moved by two men, and the en- gine steams out into Railroad Avenue. A larger steam engine follows the first, and both steam down to the post office." In the parade scenes, vehicles range from little red wagons to tanks, the entire fleet of Shelton school buses and a log truck with Paul Bunyan, played by a young Max Schmidt, aboard. "In the same reel are scenes of the 1958 Forest Festival," Mad- dux adds. "This parade featured such cultural attractions as the Camp Grisdale Clowns, whose motto was "Keep Washington Green, Watch Your Butt." The clowns occupy themselves alter- nately with little brown jugs and a classic outhouse mounted on the end of the float. ADMISSION TO 42nd Street is by season ticket or $5 for sen- iors and adults, $4 for students and free for children under 12 when accompanied by students or adults. Mason County Historical Mu- seum director Billie Howard ex- plains how the film came to the historical society. "Karen James," she said, "was slowly and method- ically going through her father's things when she came across three reels of old Forest Festival film." The film canisters are labeled with dates from 1946 into the 1950s. "We don't know whether Dave James took it, but he had planned to put the scenes on vid- eo and had actually been working on that when he died," Howard said. Karen James indicated she hoped the historical society would on," she said. "WE JUST GOT thef upon Don Maddux, she grl She and Maddux said the will have immense aPP el longtime residents and ers alike.

In a new twist this year, a market-basket drill team from Fred Meyer will circle and whee- lie through the parade route while other tblks from the grocery store will gather canned goods and other nonperishable food items tbr the Saints' Pantry food bank.
