Thursday, June 30, 2016 - Shelton-Mason County Journal - Page A-25 MARY'S MEMOIRS It is Fourth of July weekend and Mary is busy at the store and having company out to the canal. Mary has to talk to the boys at the store and tell them to stop teasing Ruth. They get the new cold box up and running and now the vegetables will keep much longer. Enjoy./ m Thursday June 30, 1938 This was a busy day and I did not go home until I had the post office report all ready for the mail in the morning. Sam went to Seattle in the early morning and got home about the time we were ready to close the store so I thought I might just as well work on the report. It just started to rain. I hope it does not spoil the whole weekend because so many people are scared out by the rain no matter how little. The motor for the cold box is in the store and tomor- row the men will By CLYDENE install it and we can HOSTETLER put our vegetables in the box and won't have to worry about them spoiling or wilting. Had a letter from Alice and she's not coming out as her brother is going to a lake instead of the canal. So now we won't see her pictures. My pictures came in and they are all good as I hope the other girls had as good luck as I did. Charlie has the electric pump running for Lt. Smith and so he went home to try to get the raft out on the water for the end of the week when someone will be here to use it. Now that it is raining I wonder how long my flowers will keep. John called up and said that he and Annie, Sam's mother and Jack are coming out on the fourth and stay for a couple of days. I'm told that his friend Mrs. Baumgartner called up and wanted to know how he was and he laughed. Now I'm going to bed and get a good night's rest. Friday July 1, 1938 This was another busy day and the new vegetable case is in running order and all of the green stuff is in it. We were fairly busy and got a lot of odd jobs done for if it does not rain we should be very busy tomorrow. I have all my pictures and they are very good. I cleaned the house good and Rudy came down and talked for some time. To bed early and got a good night's rest. Sent out the post office report so that is done for another quarter. Saturday July 2, 1938 We certainly worked hard today and now this evening Sam says that we are going to the Victor dance and I wonder how we are going to dance when we both are so tired. John and Annie have not shown up yet so I don't know when they're coming for we heard that the ferries could not handle all the cars. Alice sent the blue dishes but they did not come and I guess it's just as well for the folks may not come anyway. There were lots of people in the store today and once when Mrs. Buldoc was in she said, "All of Bremerton is in here and both of the Popes are out in front of their store looking over here and not one car at their place." I told Sam I suppose they wonder, "What he's got we ain't got." We sent the check to Mary Ryan for the price of her brother's place. Now as soon as she sends back the deed prop- erly signed, our work is done for then Ryan has all his money on his place. It has made Sam a lot of work but he did not seem bothered by it. Dorothy Eddy was in the store and I had her take three pictures when we were real busy so now if some turn out good why I shall have some made for the store. The bay is lovely tonight but too cold to go in. I suppose a lot of folks are dis- appointed because they can't have the sunshine on the only day of the year that we really want it hot. Some sail- ors had a fight out in front of Pears- alls and the Patrol Wagon from the yard soon came and got them. All the customers in the store would run out and look at the fight and then come in as soon as they stopped. Then they would start fighting again and every- one would run out again. It seemed to paralyze "industry." We sold about 100 pounds of cherries since yesterday and I'm certainly glad that we got rid of them. I was afraid we had too many on hand and if we could find no one who wanted to can them we would be out of luck. The lawn looks very nice and now that it rained some of it most likely will do better for this is the first time it has any water on it besides water out of the hose. We have wa- tered quite a lot on account of it being so dry. I wrote to Mrs. Anderson and asked her if she wanted to go to the dinner at Elma on the llth of July and she is agreeable so now I hope that Mrs. Huson can go so we can have a full load. It should be lots of fun. Sunday July 3, 1938 We went to the dance and had a good time, but I was so tired that I see MEMOIRS, page A-27 , Clean, Secure , Professional , All Size Heated Units ., Easy Drive.Up Access A letter to Photo courtesy of Clydene Hostetler Mary Theler invites her to a meeting of postmasters in 1938. e Former Gov.
