SALUTING A FEW FESTIVAL FIGURES
Another Mason County Forest Festival is now history
and another successful chapter added to the lenghtening
story of one of this state's most unusual community projects.
Many individuals deserve recognition and praise for
their contributions to making this success possible, but is
there anyone who would argue the fact that the two hardest,
most time-consuming, and detail-filled tasks are those per-
formed by a pair of Roys--Dunn and Kimbel--as respective
chairmen of the Paul Bunyan parade and the loggers sports
show.
They, along with President Clive Troy, .wh.ose
responsibilities to tie everything together added up
to uncountable details, deserve a special salute arid
word o] appreciative recognition.
Only those intimately associated with the forest festival
and its inner workings can truly appreciate the vital and
time-consuming work these men give to making the festival
go.
In the process of passing out bouquets, some nice things:
deserve saying about the outstanding support given the Paul
Bunyan parade by our neighbors in Kitsap county. The four
junior and senior high schools in Bremerton each sent bands
and drill teams, one even had two of the latter, while the
rural Kitsap high schools North, South and Centralsent
their bands. In addition, there were numerous fraternal and
military order entries from the Kitsap area.
Thank you, Kitsap county. Your good neighborliness is
deeply appreciated here in :Mason County.
And one final accoladeto the Matlock community for
contributing two winning entries and another which earned
third place recognition from the judges. For a small com-
munity this is a truly outstanding achievement.
PAUL BUNYAN PARADE
thlltizltl'd |'I',HII l)+|t" l)
With the chur(:h theme underly-
ing I he entire festival, the churches
and communities division of the
parade took on added importance
this year. Mr. Olive Lutheran
Church scored a big triumph in
this division with its float, getting
the decision over the Union Com-
munity entry and the First Chris-
tian Church float.
FOR PURE elegance, the Cau-
ital Lakefair float from Olympia,
the Simpson Timber Company
float, and of course the Queen's
float prepared by the Lumber-
men's Mercantile Company were
in a class by themselves. Lake-
fair took first in the outside com-
munities division. Simpson in tim
manufacturing and industrial div-
ision. The Queen's float was non-
competitive.
In the agricultural division it
was a tough decision between tle
Washington Douglas Fit' Cllrist-
mas Tree Association and the
Mason County 4-H ClUbs entries.
They came ()tit in that order in the
judging.
Much of the favorable feeling
about the 1962 parade probably
can be attribtted to the splendid
balance of beautiful floats, peppy
marching and drill units, lively
music, comical clowns and other
humor, horses, and logging entries.
THE MA+ON COUNTY Bell
Riders shaded Olympia's Synco-
pated Seahorses and the Mason
County Mounted Posse for honors
among the horse entries; the
Hoquiam Eagle Majorettes took a
close decision over their neighbors,
the Harborettes, and Seattle's
Forestettes in the baton twirlers
division; the Filipino Youth Activ-
ities Association of Seattle was
first among the non-school drill
teams, just ahead of the Drillettes
of Olympia Eagles Aerie and the
Tacoma Eagles Junior Drill Team;
while in the school drill team
division Bremerton entries swept
all honors with East high accorded
first place, Coontz Intermediate
7th graders second, Coontz Inter-
mediate 8th graders and West high
tied for third.
A congregation of elk, deer and
moose antlers clustered on a jeep
with other forest prizes won the
blue ribbon in the unclassified
division for Mesdames Guy Sewelt
and David Friend. with the Hood
Canal Seals Diving Club third
behind the Thurston County Fire-
men's Ass'n.
IN 'rite FRATERNAL classi-
fication the Lions Club and the
Rainbow Girls of She, d.on were
sandwiched around Olynipia De.
Molay Sweethearts,

necessary to ready Olympia,
Shelton and Hoodsport for Direct

in an office over a jewelry store,
to Direct Distance Dialing which
will interweave our area with
some 60,000,000 telephones across
the nation and in Canada, Olympia
has seen a lot of progress, tele-
phone-wise, in the last 84 years.
Perhaps, to borrow an adage to
describe that young cornetist's ac-
complishment less than a century
ago, we could say: "It's an ill wind
that blows no good!"
