Angle 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.

From a few toots on a coronet 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!"
