On June 28 a reception will
be held at the MBC Club for
Willard and Gladys Lloyd, who
will celebrate their golden
wedding anniversary. An
invitation is extended to everyone
on Mason and Benson Lakes to
help the Lloyds celebrate this
once-in-a-lifetime occasion. The
reception will be from 2-5 p.m.
and those who wish may return at
9 p.m. for an evening of dancing
to last as long as anyone wishes to
trip the light fantastic.
Congratulations, Willard and
Gladys, and we wish you much
happiness in your years to come.
Last Sunday I stopped and
visited with Arnold and Artha
Peterson who were helping their
daughter with clearing and
building on her lot in Paradise.
Joyce Peterson is anxious to get
their house built so the whole
family can enjoy the summers and
weekends in more comfort. The
Petersons are from Montesano
where Joyce is co-owner and
operator of the Chantilly Beauty
Shop. The Petersons have four
daughters and one son.
Mr. Peterson, as you might
guess, is a Norwegian and has
traveled to Norway and located
relatives he wasn't aware of until
a few years ago. The relatives have
now visited the Petersons and
found they dearly love the
North west and were very
impressed with Mason Lake and
its stlrrounding beauty. The
"Norsl(" relatives really enjoyed
Americlmn food and loved going
on picmcs. 1 hope that some day
when they visit again Ill have the
privilege of meeting them.
We wish to express our
sympathy to the Jack Denny
family. Jack and Marge have
returned home after traveling to
Montana to attend the funeral of
Jack's sister.
Our first and oldest
grandchild, John Way, was
graduated last week from high
school. They were out to see us
on Tuesday night so John could
visit once more before leaving for
the service on Thursday. We had
an idea he'd go in the Army but
never thought it would be quite
so soon. Of course, grandma had
to relive the day in 1959 when
our son left for the service.
Last Sunday iota Pfeifer was
surprised when all her children
and grandchildren gathered at the
Pfeifer home to celebrate lola's
birthday.
Curt and Verna Heath had
two houseguests last week; their
granddaughter, Pamela Everett,
and her girl friend, Pamela
Sampair, both of Aberdeen.
Grandpa Curt took the girls
fishing over at Phillips Lake and
the three of them caught six big
ones. This was Pam Sampair's first
time fishing so she was real
thrilled even if she caught only
one.
About fifty friends and
relatives of two Mason Lake
families gathered last Saturday
evening at the Carl Kramp
summer home to witness a double
mortgage-burning ceremony. Carl
and Harriet Kramp of Seattle,
who have owned their Mason
Lake property for 15 years, were
one of the couples celebrating no
more mortgage payments along
with Janet and Kenny Williams,
formerly of Seattle and now
permanent residents. They bought
their property 18 years ago.
The Kramps and Williamses
were neighbors in Seattle years
ago and it was after visiting the
Williamses at the lake that they,
too, bought a lot here and built
their cabin. They plan to move
out permanently in a couple of
years.
David Williams, 16, is looking
forward to enrolling in Shelton
High School next fall. He is the
youngest of the Williamses' four
children. Also out for the
weekend was their first
grandchild, 2-month-old Donald
Scott Williams, son of Steve and
Terri Williams.
Millie Christensen, who was
injured over a month ago in an
explosion which destroyed the
Christensens' travel trailer, is now
home from the hospital and
would appreciate visitors
dropping by while she continues
to recuperate from extensive
burns.
PLANNING COMMISSIONER
Grant lmpett of Shorecrest
( Route 2, Shelton), was
appointed by the county
commissioners at their meeting
last week to fill the vacancy on
the Mason County Planning
Commission created by
resignation of Doug Berry.
REPEAT COMPLAINT
A report of a lean-to at
Tahuya River Tracts being torn
down and burned was received
June 14 in the sher3ff's office.
The owner had filed a similar
complaint several months ago
and juveniles responsible for the
first offense were to be
questioned.

The Tahuya Fire Department
went into action last week in
response to a call of a roof fire at
the newer home of Captain
James. Residents, Mr. and Mrs.
Paul Parrish, caretakers of the
property since Captain James
suffered a stroke several years
ago, had extinguished the fire by
the time the firemen arrived.
The men still had their work
cut out for them as the road in
and out and the turn-around area
there for vehicles that large is very
limited. The fire apparently
started from material being
burned in thefireplace which
landed on the roof. Damage was
minor.
Incidentally, Captain James'
son Rick brings him out several
times during the year to spend
time at the main house, so we get
to see and chat with him shortly
at those times.
Mary Russell is recuperating
nicely after cataract surgery. This
is the second operation for her in
the past two years and she's
looking forward to one of her
favorite hobbies again - reading.
With the 4th of July weekend
almost upon us don't forget the
"Balderall." This will be the
eighth year when the annual
fishing derby and boat parade will
be held at Bald Point.
This is a "fun" thing every
year. The derby takes in the 4th,
5th and 6th. The boat parade will
start up the channel there at 2:30
p.m. on the 5th. Following will be
a canoe race, pie-eating contest,
sack race, egg toss, hoola-hoop,
tug-o-war, 3-legged race, penny
hunt and many other games.
If you have a small dinghy,
decorate and enter it in the
parade - you may win a prize,
and the more the merrier. Entry
tickets will be available at the
Omans, Reynolds and Tahuya
Grocery.
Fish are still being caught up
around Tombstone Territory and
Bald Point. Herb Fleischmann
again with an 11%-pounder with
another twice that big out there
with his name on it, so he says.
Lost a big one when it came
unhooked. Norm Loudenback
and wife Mary still pulling them
in. Norm claims there's a biggee
out there with his name on it also
(same reason as above.)
Perl Maurer had the classic
catch of the week when he
snagged a huge 19~A-pounder in
the side, fishing from a light 12'
aluminum boat. Did you ever try
to guide a snagged fish into a net?
You can't; it just takes you where
it wants to go and in this case
they were pulled from Tombstone
to the Indian Hole. On top of
that, wife Ida Mac is a southpaw
and apparently can only net from
one way. Well, when you've got-
one like that you've got to net it
any way you can. The air was
sorta blue - in fact I think I
heard some of the flak down this
far (ha ha), but the beauty ended
up on the barbecue!
We babysat a couple of small
black Lab puppies for a while last
week. A lady brought them in
after they'd come to her
neighbors up the creek here.
Footsore, hungry and plumb
tuckered out, we fed them and
finally found whom they
belonged to and they were taken
home. The little ones had been
missing for three days. The
mother has had a habit in years
past of taking the pups into the
woods and abandoning them.
Some have never been seen again.
These two, after travelling a great
distance, were lucky and I
understand mama's going to be
tied up from now on.
Don't forget the meeting on
boat and water safety this
Saturday night, June 28, 7 p.m. at
the Tahuya Firehall.
Mr. Gay, editor of the
Shelton-Mason County Journal,
was mentioned in the PI'S
Emmett Watson column again this
week. That's the third time I've
noticed it in recent months, but if
you read his editorials you'll
understand why.
Good advice: If you wouldn't
write it and sign it, don't say it!
VANDALS HIT AT
COLLINS LAKE
Two reports of vandalism at
Collins Lake homes were received
in the sheriff's office last week.
On June 17 it was reported that
vandals had broken into the
Harold Dawson residence and
created extensive damage with
spray paint and by throwing food
around. A hi-fi had been torn
apart and pieces scattered around.
A TV was missing. On June 13,
James L. Craft of Seattle reported
his Collins Lake home had been
entered for the second week in a
row. A week earlier items had
been stolen but this time it was
vandalized.
BELFAIR BUSINESS

Center was reported June 15 to
the sheriff's office. Someone had

$680 worth of taand and power
