THESE WERE THE BURDEN-BEARERS
Now thaffthe peak is past and we've all had a chance
to catch our breath, a calm and collected review of the 19th,
Mason County Forest Festival is in order.
It was a dandy, no argument there.
That it was such required more than luck, though luck
is an essential element in the realm of weather. Many un-
kind things have been said about the weather this year, but
all was forgiven after what turned up a week ago last Sat-
urday.
Success was bred through hard work and good manage-
ment, along with good breaks. To these people, then, the
community owes great gratitude for their vital parts in the
1963 Forest Festival:
CLIVE TROY. who as president of the Forest Festival
Association in his second year did an outstanding job of co-
ordinating all the many facets of this big community event
and through unselfish devotion of his time and energies
made those fcets mesh smoothly into a well-jelled whole;
ROY DUNN and LES SHELVER, who as co-chair-
men of the festival's biggest and most painstaking single
facet produced another outstanding Paul Bunyan parade;
ROY KIMBEL. 1flAX SCHMIDT, GIB RUCKER, JACK
KIMBEL (and probably a few others l for putting together
another highly entertaining Loggers Sports Show;
SHELTON R-OTARIANS as a group and BUD LYON
and EINAR OLSOE in particular for at long last restoring
the forest festival membership button sale. an important
up their 1963 junior high baseball
season in defeat. 8-4, at Bremer-
ton last week.
Lefty Rich Burfier, d was nicked
for/distance hits in East's two
big innings, a dou-b]e and triple
in the first, and a triple sand-
wiched between singles in the
fifth. Another triple accounted for
East's solo marker in the fourth.
The final East tally was produced
in the sixth on a walk. stolen base
and sipgle.
Blazer runs came in solos. Dave
Winn tripled and Bob Masteller
singled him home fn the second:
Tom Marshall singled and moved
to third on two following walks,
then scored on Scott Swisher's in-
field out in the third: Jan Donald-
son walked with bases full to
force home MasLeiler, who had al-
so waisted in the sixth; and Mas-
teller scored again in the seventh
on Dick Knautz' single after walk-
ing.

Swisher
the high plateau of success it once held.
Many others, of course, made large contributions to
this 1963 festival, so many that it is impossible to cover
each individually. However, The Journal wishes to toss a
special accolade to two youngsters who made their debuts
in festival ranks this year, SUE GILLILAND and JOHAN-
NA GOLDSCHMIDT, who were assigned, as members of
the publicity committee, the task of preparing stories and
getting pictures of the pioneer loggers Who Were thefesti-
val's honored guests.
Sue, a junior, and Jo, a senior, at Irene S. Reed high
s.chool and members of the journalism class, managed some-
how to give a great deal of time to this assignment and still
keep up with their school responsibilities. We have a-strong
hunch the community will be hearing more from these young
ladies in the future.
So, not only to these few key figures, but to all
who helped make the 19th Forest Festival what it was
among the finesthcse words of appreciation are but
an expression of the feeling The Journal knows the
ehtire community shares as it proudly, reviews its big
annual celebration.

Gollegiate Action
Seen By Former
Shellon Athletes
Six college and university ath-
letic teams were bolstered during
the past school year by former
Shelton Highclimber athletes.
The University of "Washington,
University of Puget Sound, Seat-
tle U., St. Martins College, Olym-
pic College and the' U.S. Coast
Guard Academy were represented
by 16 former Climber luminaries.
UPS teams had Harley Soiners,
football; Wayne Carlson and Scott
Elliott. basketball; Roy Kimbel,
baseball; Joe Wingard, track and
Denny Hinton. tennis.
Both Somers and Kimbel were
sidelined most of the season with
various injuries although both let-
tered the previous year. Carlson
and Elliott played on the Logger
junior vaxsicy mainly, although
Carlson logged considerable time
with the varsity in a non-letter
winning effort. Wingard ran the
mile and two-mile races for his
track letter and Hinton played
fourth man on the varsity tennis
team
Morley Preppernau, Pete Bue-
che and tars Sjoholm earned let-
ters on the Olympic track squad.
Buechel also played football. Mike
Olson and Kent Johnson were the
third and fourth men respectively
on the Ranger net team.
Jerry Bloomfield and Corky Pe-
terson saw considerable starting
action for the St. Martins basket-
ball team. Bloomfield was also a
starting hurler for the diamond
team,
Former prep all-starer Greg Ver-
million was a frequent starter on
the SU Chief tan hoop squad last
season.
Laurie Somers lettered in var-
sity basketball and track at the
Coast Guard Academy in New
London. Conn.. this year. He gave
up football, which he played in
his freshman year. to devote more
time to basketball. It payed off
too. as he was the leading scorer
and rebounder on the team. He
als9 set a new Academy high jump
record this spring.
John Sells. the small but pow-
erful former Shelton shot putter,
competed on the UW Frosh track
team this spring.

are found in the woods, the State
Game Department issues its an-
nual reminder that it is unlawful
for any person to keep game ani-
mals or birds ifi captivity.
While most persons take am-
reals home with good intentions,
they fail to realize that they are
lessening the animals' chances for
survival. Once raised in captivity,
the animals forfeit their chances

RECREATION REPORT
Shelton Ranger District
All roads are open for travel.
Trail maintenance has begun on
the Wynoochee. Fishing remains
slow on the South Fork of the
Skokomish River, but some good
catches have been made with na-
tural bait. Many young deer are
being spotted along roads and
logged units. The fire danger has
eased greatly due to cooler tem-
peratures and rain.
Hoodsport Ranger District
All roads are now open. A new
10 unit picnic area was opened at
Seal Rock Campground on Hood
Canal this week. The units are on
the water and afford access to the
public oyster beach. The fishing
conditions: Lake Cushman -fair to
good; Lena poor; Hamma Ham-
ma River--poor: Elk and Jeffer-
son Lakes fair to good. The snow
is at the 4500-5000 foot level and
reducing rapidly. Rhododendrons
are still blooming at the lower
elevations along Hood Canal and
all the larger drainages to 2000
feet. Recent rains have lessened
the fire danger.

their Olympia Fasthall League
committments Monday evening in

The 2-1 victory over BInger's
came when Pete Kruger m'ew the
free transportation to force Jess
Phillips over the plate and Frank
Vestal lofted deep enough o right
field to permit Bill Nutt to trot
borne.
Jess was aboard on a walk. Bill
on a single, and Dick Cummins
slrolled to fill the sacks with one
away in the fifth inning. In the
bottom half Binger's put across
their lone run with the help of
a two-ou error following the only
two hits Nutt allowed in an other-
wise pitching masterpiece.
PRIOR TO the fifth the only
Binger baserunner was aue to a
walk and no others got aboard af-
ter the fifth. He struck out 11.
The Merchants themselves got
only three blows, Dave Swearingen
in the sixtl and Nutt his second
blow in the seventh, all singles.
In four earlier practice games
the Merchants posted three victor-
ies 21-2 over Rayonier, 6-3 over
Highway Department. an 5-3 ov-
er the Camms. The loss was by
7-5 to Olympia Merchants.
The 5-3 win from the Camms.was
achieved on only three hits. but
one of them along with five walks
sccounted for four runs in the
sixth and that was enougn to ov-
ercome a 3-1 Camm lead.
SWEARINGEN enjoyed a 3-for-
3 record but couldn't stave off the
loss to Olympia Merchants. Shel-
ton made a gallant comeback af-
ter entering the last inning trail-
ing by 7-1, scoring four times on
two walks, Chub Nutt's single and
Phillips' double.
A 4-run first inning spearhead-
ed the 6-3 victory over Highway
during which successive singles by

as he did the route of Rayonier

Some Local People
Not Applying For.
Social Securily
NEW YORK (Special) A
number of Mason County residents
will soon be getting windfalls in
the form of government pension
checks.
These payments, unsought and
unexpected, represent benefits due
them under the Old-Age and Sur-
vivors Insurance system. They are
entitled to them because of their
contributions, over the years, to
the OASI trust fund.
Then why are they not receiv-
ing them? Simply because they
did not apply for them.
Why did they not apply for
them? Because they did not real-
ize they were entitled to them.
The OASI officials themselves
were startled to discover recently
that there ta'e more than 1,000,000
people in e United States who
are eligible for pensions but axe
not getting them. i
WHEN IT BECAME apparent
that there were more of them
than had been realized, they gave
their giant computers the task Of
finding out just how many an ava-
lanche of names poured out of the
machines.
For every 17 people or so who
are receiving monthly pension
checks, there is an additional one,
it develops, who should "be but is
not. "
In Mason County, there are an
estimated 89 of these non-collect-
ing eligibles.
They could be receiving any-
where from $40 a month, which
is the minimum amount paid, to
the present maximum of $254 a
month.
THE AVERAGE old-age benefit,
according to the latest OASI fig-
ures, is $76.18.
On the basis of this average,
the 89 local beneficiaries who are
on the missing list are passing up
payments aggregating about
$6.780 every month, or $81,350
a year.
Some spot-checking on the part
of the Government reveals that
there are many reasons to explain
the failure of qualified people to
apply for their pensions.
Most of them didn't think they
were eligible, This was frequently
so in the case of men and women
who continued working beyond age
65.
Others thought they didn't have
enough working quarters to qual-
ify. They were unaware of changes
in the rules that reduced the num-
ber of quarters needed.
A large number of others had
the false notion that a person had
to be needy to be entitled to Soc-
ial Security pensions.
