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. leIeIellolllellq~IlllellellleIellelll elleIe II •III • B • B • BOBe B • B • B I North Bay Oxbow Custom -" Be JOHN C.

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 ROBBED A break-in of Belfair Home Center was reported June 15 to the sheriff's office. Someone had broken in during the previous . night and stolen approximately $680 worth of taand and power tools.
