l J ga "Before I retired from Simpson Timber Company 16 months ago," declares Archie Vaughn, "1 worked eight hours a day. Now 1 never have any spare time !" He's not complaining. When he isn't gardening, he's dancing; or fishing. Archie Vaughn and his wife, Leona, are very active members of the S',dty Sashayers, Shelton's square dancing club, and the Christmastown Rounders, the local round-dancing group. They served last year as president-couple of the Christmastown Rounders, and have held office as vice-presidents and as secretary-treasurers of the Salty Sashayers. Vaughn enrolled in club dancing lessons in 1961 and has since participated in club dances throughout the state. He is also a member of the Skokomish Valley Grange where he performs with the drill team. In past years he has held several grange offices. A native of Washington, Archie Vaughn has lived in Mason County since 1912. He was employed first as a logger and later in Simpson's Insulating Board Plant for a total of 42 years. His first garden was grown during the depression and flourished in the fertile Skokomish Valley soils, lle has gardened ever since, and always by more-or-less organic methods. In the 1950's he read of a Thurston County man who gardened in a garbage heap Io win prizes at the county fair. From that day on, all kitchen refuse and lawn clippings were worked into his garden. When the Shelton Organic Garden Club was organized this spring, Archie Vaughn was an enthusiastic charter member. "It is a real challenge," he explains, "to grow good planls without the use of poisons. "The ~cret," he continues, "is to maintain the garden in a clean amd healthful manner in order that the plants may be strongly resistant to disease and tO [7~st S." Hc praclices companion gardening. Marigolds among the vegetables will repel many insects. He has learned that the juice of the despised tansy will discourage flies. Compost heaps yield natural fertilizers and soil-builders. A strawberry bed heavily mulched with sawdust yielded a bumper crop. "1 prefer to use alder," he says, "because it is the quickest to ens organicall ,::141', ARCHIE VAUGHN guarantees that the Jerusalem artichoke plants in the background will be higher than his head by late summer. Pumpkin vines fill the foreground. decay. Because sawdust takes nitrogen from the sol; as it decomposes, nitrogen should be added" Although Archie is technically the family vegetable gardener, he freely admits that he accepts the help of his wife. "Before I retired," he remarks, "she did a lot of the vegetable gardening. But now the flowers are her department, and 1 stick to the vegetables7' A white Charlais cow and heifer are Archie's pride and joy, and he has a persistent yen to own a horse. Come fall, he intends to add wine-making to the growing list of his accomplishments. "1 used to make beer when I was in Camp III," he reminisces, "but I had to give it up. I had too many visitors." Fruit trees and berry bushes thrive on the Vaughn acreage, and in addition to the usual garden vegetables, Archie is this year growing two which are new to him - Jeruselum artichokes and asparagus. His beautifully-tended garden testifies to his diligence. "Sometimes it suffers," he admits, "when I unearth too many angle worms!" "When I find too many angle-worms," "1 neglect the garden and go fishing." savs Archie- Vaughn, Organics to meet The Shelton Organics Garden Club will meet at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the clubhouse.

Tickets are good for unlimited visits throughout the show. Begun in 1971, the event follows the pattern of similar shows which are popular throughout the country. Antiques shows provide a good opportunity for collectors and devotees of antiques to encounter a wide range of reputable, dealers without covering hundreds of miles. Beginners in the antiques pursuit have a chance to compare prices, broaden their familiarity with types and periods of antiques, and ask questions which dealers are always happy to answer. Dealers, too, seek to be included in shows to meet a new group of potential customers and establish their reputations. Some dealers whose shops are in out-of-the-way places do most of their business at shows and may travel thousands of miles to 20 or more shows a year.

Cosmetics for YOU Caring for Oily Skin My skin is very oily and always looks shiny. I also tend to get blackheads. What is the best way to care for my skin, and what kind of makeup should I use? A. It is especially important for someone with your type of skin to remove all traces of makeup and dirt before bedtime. Lotions and creams made especially for this purpose will do the job more effectively than will ordinary soap and water. Application of a masque at least once a week is also effective in helping to prevent blackheads. Before applying makeup, pat on astringent to remove any traces of oil on Your skin. Then apply a waterbased -- rather than an oilbased -- makeup. For touch-ups during the day, use pressed Powder that is especially formulated to "blot away" oils on the skin. Makeup for Oily Skin My skin is rather oily. What type of makeup should I use? A. Cake makeup -- the type that is applied with a damp sponge -- is best for oily skin because it dries almost instantly and tends to soak up excess oils from the skin. This type of makeup covers up blemishes and usually needs to be applied only once a day. If oils break through around the nose or chin, the makeup can be reapplied to these areas without re-doing the entire face. Face powder applied over this foundation will also help to control oiliness.
