One last song, and then another, delayed the scouts
respective homes after their return Friday.
departures to their
Scouts return from trip
Can nine Girl Scouts, two
scout leaders, eleven packs, food
and gear for everyone survive for
a month-long trip together in
one ten-passenger van? When the
leaders have never driven a van
before?
The obvious answer is no;
but the members of Troop No.
704 not only lived to tell about
it, they arrived home Friday
hale, hearty, and enthusiastic
about every minute and every
mile of their odyssey.
The eleven attended' three
sessions of Wyoming Trek at the
Girl Scout National Center West
in Ten Sleep, Wyoming. They
sang, back-packed, panned for
gold, rode horses and
participated in gymkhanas,
learned Indian basketry and
Navaho blanket-weaving, and
swapped souvenirs.
The girls, with new friends
from throughout the western
states, participated in
archaeological digs at excavation
sites yielding projectile points
and stone chips. They practiced
way.finding and survival skills,
hunted rocks, and
stream-dwelling aquatic life, and
tended sunburned noses.
Getting there, and getting
back, was half the fun. The
route to Wyoming went through
the Cascades and across northern
Idaho and Montana to the
Bighorn Canyon National
Recreation Area. The girls
camped out on their overnight
stops.
The trip home included two
nights at Yellowstone National
Park and a white-water raft trip
at Jackson in the Grand Tetons.
Other camp stops were at
Glenn's Ferry on the Oregon
Trail route and at a fish hatchery
on the Columbia.
And the end of it all wasn't
the arrival at home.
On Saturday, the travellers
reconvened at the home of
leader Linnie Griffin to clean the
rented van and prepare other
' gear for storage. They are
already planning a rummage sale
for August to offset costs of

repairing tent frames damaged by
gusting prairie winds.
The girls of troop 704
worked for two years to raise
funds to finance their memorable
excursion, which also received
some funding from the Theler
estate. And was it worth it? A
chorus of yesses is the answer,
seconded by the leaders.
"It was beautiful," sighed
Mesdames Griffin and Cataldo,
surveying a yardful of sleeping
bags, packs, pots, pans, towels,
pillows, shoes, sweatshirts and
assorted memorabilia.
"We'd do it all again."

Huckleberry Harold
One thunderous morning a
gentleman of purplish
complexion and uncertain
attitude meandered into the
office and proclaimed his
oracular abilities in the
departments of advice and
information. Proceeding to
expound on this and that until
we were moved to the very brink
of insanity, he took advantage of
the situation to install himself as
the resident advice columnist.
Word, as it always will, filtered
out and the mail is approaching
record volume. Herewith is our
columnist, Huckleberry Harold.
Dear Huckleberry Harold,
The huckleberries in my
backyard are still red but my
son, who has been eating them,
says they don't taste green.
When will they turn blue? Or are
they poisonous?
Wondering
Highway closed
I)y accident
Traffic was routed through
Grapeview for nearly two hours
Friday while State Troopers and
wreckers cleared Highway 3
south of Allyn of the wreckage
of an overturned lumber truck.
Both lanes of the highways
were blocked when the rig
turned over at 4:44 p.m. Travel
on the route resumed normal
operation at 6:25 p.m. No
injuries were reported in the
incident.

Dear Wondering,
Your berries are no doubt
red huckleberries, and they
won't turn blue. They also won't
poison your son or anyone else
(shouldn't you ask before you
let him eat strange berries?).
Neither will salal berries nor
Oregon grape. All three make
good jelly.
Dear Huckleberry Harold,
What are those funny,
foamy-looking slightly iridescent
gray rings I found on the
branches of my fruit trees and
shrubs? Should I worry about
them? At a Loss
Dear Atta,
Yes and no. You should
worry, because those funny,
foamy-looking slightly iridescent
gray rings are the egg eases of
vile nasty destructive tent
caterpillars which next year will
go through your shrubs like
Sherman through Georgia. But if
you just sit there and worry,
you'll have nothing but a bunch
of naked trees. Instead, get out
and peel off the rings with your
thumbnail, or cut off the
affected limbs if not too many
are involved, and completely
destroy the egg cases in whatever
way you find most satisfying:
e.g., a large bonfire. And if you
really want to, do something,
check all the branches of the
alders and wild roses along
roadsides near you.
Items lost
Two wallets and a key ring
were reported lost this week to
the Mason County sheriff's
Belfair office.
Several keys on a metal ring
with a leather tab were lost this
weekend near Gladwin Beach
Road.
A man's light brown leather
billfold with $150 and
identification was lost on the
Sand Hill Road near the garbage
dump last Thursday.
A black trifold man's wallet
with identification and bank
cards was lost Thursday near the
Puget Sound National Bank in
Belfair.

The ten year reunion for the
North Mason High School class
of 1968 was held on Saturday,
July 16. The dinner party that
night held as much excitement as
the original graduation exercises
for the 52 members attending.
Welcome signs, pictures from
bygone school days and old
dance programs were the decor
arranged by Cheri Bishop Pruitt,
Karen Rasmussen Veitch and
Katy Blair Hughes.
Of special interest was a
copy of the school paper,
"Nomahi News," that dated back
to the days when Karen Squire
Riggs and Karen Veitch were in
the sixth grade. Mr. Art Guidi
was their room teacher at that
time and the news in the paper
noted that he had purchased a
hugh roll of tape as a possible
means of curbing their constant
visiting during classtime.
Ken Bead was master of
ceremonies for the messages and
awards. Best wishes were sent by
Emily Meyer, Vickie Cartwright
Miller and Donna Dishon
Rickards.
Susie Kowalczyk traveled
farther than anyone from her
school teaching position at
Kayenta, Arizona and was
awarded a road map. The Baldy
award (actually the one that
didn't comb his hair forward)
experienced by them in the
following year. Improvement was
noted when they were gone a
few days from the new home,
but always returned.
They learned through friends
that others were having this same
kind of illness and it had been
traced to materials used in the
construction of mobile homes.'
A call to Keith Benham of
the Public Health Department in
Olympia confirmed
formaldehyde used in mobile
home construction had caused
serious illness for many people.
Mrs. Kiehn is concerned that
the problem still exists for those

been living in the

of two and a half.)
A potluck picnic was held
the next afternoon at the
Simpson Recreation area at
Mason Lake. Rain did not
dampen the spirits of the thirty
class members attending and a
show of the "real thing" of
families instead of pictures.
Volleyball and baseball were
played until the park dosed for
the night.

Mrs. Joseph P. Wilbur and Mr.

A letter.writing campaign has

action for correcting a serious
manufacturing problem in the
use of formaldehyde in the
construction material of mobile
homes.
The idea began when a
