Home ownership is at a higher

Shelton to be owned by their occu-
ants as compared with 544 Der
Pent'in Ule United States m'd x'vitl
54.5 percent in the Western States.
The gain was achieved in the
seven-year span after 1950, when
the Census of Housing, taken that
year, showed home ownership lo-
cally at 66.3 percent.
THE RISE represents the aver-
age advance in the period for the
region encompassing Shelton and
is attributed in part to the fact
that better economic conditions
during most of those years made it
possible for many people to satisfy
their urge to own their own homes.
Other contributing factors were
easier private credit, except dur-
ing one or two years, as well as
Federal aid made available
through the F.H.A. and V.A. pro-
grams.
Solid advances have also been
made in the physical condition of
dwelling units in the area, both
through modernization and repair
work and through the replacement
of aflapidated structures with new
ones. \\;
%
AT TIlE TIME of the 1950:
sus, 87.3 percent of the dwellings
in Shelton had hot and cold run-
ning water, flush toilets and pri-
vate baths and were found to need
no major repairs.
The current housing inventory
shows that well over 90 percent of
the houses in the region are now
in that approved category.
The steady improvement in the
quality and condition of the na-
tion's dwelling places, together
with the better spread in owner-
ship, are viewed as a great source
of stability in our economy.

Grapeview Royalty to Attend
Queen's Banquet Tonight in Shelton
GRAPEVIEW---This being the
season for Queens and Princesses,
Grapeview finds itself being twice
honored by the presence of royal-
ty. We will have Princess Susan
Fulmer ruling over the Grapevlew
School Float this Saturday and
Queen Betty Cook will be appear-
ing in the Forest Festival Parade
also, representing the Puget Sound
Navy Ship Yard. Princess Susan
will attend the Forest Festival
Queen's Banquet this Thursday
evening (tonight) at the Moun-
tainview School while Betty was
crowned Queen at the luncheon
given in Bremerton this past Mon-
day. Betty also appeared in the
Armed Forces Day Parade in
Bremerton last Saturday repre-
senting P.S.N.S.Y. honoring the
Armed Forces Day Queen.
AMONG OTHER local younl
people ealning honors are Marion
Snell and Harley Somers. Marion
is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
zalter E. Snell, now retired per-
manent residents of North Grape-
view (next to the Dr. MacRae res-
idence), and will be graduating
from the West Bremerton high
school as one of the top honor stu-
dents this June. Marion, who has
this past year devoted her morn-
ings to schooling and afternoons
and Saturdays as dental assistant
to Dr. Christianson in Bremerton,
has the enviable record of having
been offered five scholarships
from five leading northwest col-
leges. However she has chosen to
attend Washington State Univer-
sity at Pullman where she will
major in science, special interest
being laboratory work. May the
days of Horatio Alger never cease!
Marion has been living with her
maternal grandmother, Mrs. Alice
Kinnear, in Bremerton. Meanwhile,
another of our young people, Har-
ley Seiners, was, this past Sun-
day afternoon, the guest of the
Olympia Elks Lodge who observed
Elks National Youth Day by giv-
ing a banquet for the student body
presidents and senior members of

Harley is to be doubly commend-
ed being both student body presi-

mer place once again axe Mr. and
Mrs. Merrill W. McKlnstry, who

neyed on to Detroit, Michigan, via
rented car where one main point
of interest was a drive across the
Mackinac Bridge over the Mack-
inac Strait. This bridge contains
in its structure more steel than
any other bridge in the United
States. However duty called them
back home and judgilg from the
landscaping efforts shown at their
a u m m e r home (do-it-yourself-
style) their energies were more
than renewed by their trip.
THE ROD Hansens chose separ-
ated directions this past weekend

vention in Yakima. Howard drove
over Friday morning and Murial
followed Sunday, accompanying
Lloyd and Faye Richey who were
also planning to attend the con-
vention. Mrs. Charles Seiners very
graciously stepped in to keep the
home fires blueing for the chil-
dren t until Howard and Murial's
return, Tuesday. High spot of the
convention was the banquet held

Rosselini planned to attend. Other
personalities also attending were

seen in the area. Seems Ed Okon-

ia among the missing and a

done, the Grapeview Grocery is

vanced art classes and Jeanne

ty cents first prize. Though the
winner's design is not always used
for their Forest Festlval entry,

it will be used with only minor al-
terations. Grapeview school chil-
dren heard from their division of
