rex begonia and cacti. She also
raises a vegetable garden, from
which she cans and freezes foods.
Alice Hill likes antiques, and
she has a collection of cut glass
and hand-painted china. She is a
member of the American ,Legion

Forty or more hybrid tea
roses, old-fashioned roses, and
countless varieties of plants both
old and new grace the gardens of
Alice Hill, and surround her
Skokomish Valley home.
She and her husband Verne
have resided in the valley for
the past eight years, and have been
in the Shelton area since 1945.
They formerly lived for 17 years
at Lake Cushman. There, too, she
had lots of flowers. She has
always been a gardener.
Mrs. Hill likes all flowers too
much to name a favorite. She
grows azaleas and rhododendrons.

Hummingbirds
Are Being Killed
By Excess Sugar
According to the Dirt
Dobbers Garden Club,
hummingbirds are becoming
scarce. They are being killed with
kindness.
Misinformed persons,
according to Agnes Kangas,
vice-president of the club, are
filling their feeders with a
solution too rich in sugar, The
proper proportions are nine parts
of water to one part of sugar. No
honey should be offered to the
birds, as they obtain a sufficient
amount naturally.

I'm virtuously working.
1 am inclined to be very
irritated at the high-handed
manner in which the consumer is
ordered about by the
manufacturer.
1 refer specifically to the rude
and superior way in which it is
demanded that we open packages
by a certain well-defined
procedure. Having bought and
paid for the boxed product, i
maintain that it is the inalienable
right of each and every citizen to
fight his way through the
wrappings by whatever method he
so chooses.
In the first place. I consider
pure nastiness the current trend
to build the soap and cereal box
in such fashion that all but those
holding advanced degrees in
engineering have need of a
blueprint. In the second place, if
instructions are necessary why
should they not be couched in
gentle language and phrased as a
polite request?
"Please read the fine print
before attempting to open this
package. There is a tin pouring
scoop cleverly concealed beneath
the outer paper, and it will slice
your fingers to crimson ribbons
before you can say 'Krispy
Krunchy'! For best results, may
we suggest that you run the tip of
a stainless steel, bone-handled,
seven-and-a-half-inch paring knife
under the first layer of paper and
cut carefully three inches to the
left: then please, pierce between
the second layer of paper and the
first layer of cardboard and,
following the zig-zag line, draw
knife upward. (OOOOOPS! Did
you cut yourself? So sorry!) Now,
penetrate through the cardboard,
if you don't mind, and continue
cutting. Please feel free to stop
and rest if you are
tired .... Finished? There!
Wasn't that FUN?"
Homemakers of America,
arise! Rebel! Open those boxes
with a hatchet if necessary, but
I just may in a fit of temper tear Certificates of Awards and the
it off, ,rod then I'll be in for it. I
wonder how heavy a penalty such
an offense would merit? There'd
be little chance of a deferred
sentence in the case of so
dastardly a crime.
Upon a life of crime, I think,
I never shall embark:
In fright, 1 die a thousand deaths
Each time 1 double park.
My kid decided to peel cascara
bark for some extra cash. He
walked for miles until he found a
fine big tree, and worked
diligently for hours. He would
have had quite a few dollars
worth of bark, except that it
turned out to be willow.
People often ask me how I go
about writing my verse. 1 don't: it
writes itself. Deep down in the
dark and cobwebby recesses of
my untidy subconscious there
reposes a jumble of miscellaneous
odds and ends hoarded
throughout my widely varied
years. 1 could search there all day
and never lay my hands on the
reports of the Department
convention held in Yakima.
Marcia Jo Ervin was present to
receive a certificate of award for
the Scholarship program, she also
receives $250.00 toward her
education.
A potluck picnic will be held at
Mason Lake on August l bth and
all members and their families are
invited. Coffee, ice cream and pop
will be furnished, but each person
should bring his own table service.
Several members journeyed to
McCleary to attend the Bear
Festival Saturday. Those
attending were Eva Swope, Marge
Witcraft, Betty Godwin, Darrell
Sparks and George Witcraft. The

marched in the parade, carrying

ultimately presented to me,
gleefully, in verse form. Some of
