"1 never had a doll when I was a
little girl," says Mabel Jones,
born and raised on the Skokomish
Indian Reservation, "But 1 have
two of them now."
She started with
daTk-¢ orn~ioned ¢It~lls
~essed thern4h Indian costume,
their straight dresses fashioned of
felt or heavy cotton in buckskin
colors and trimmed with beads.
One doll is short haired, and the
other wears long black braids.
Beaded head bands and mocassins
complete their attire.
'Tve had many chances to sell
them," Mrs. Jones explains, "but
1 won't part with them. They are
mine."
Mrs. Jones has two sons, three
grandsons and two
grand-daughters for whom she
makes dolls and basket-purses.
Until four years ago, Mabel
Jones was employed as a
housekeeper by several Hood
Canal homes. Now she devotes
her time to her own interests, one
of the greatest being the new
Shaker Church near Mud Bay.
Among her sewing projects
have been sofa pillows for the
Church's recent bazaar.
Mabel Jones has always loved
flowers and has always grown
them, indoor and outdoor plants
alike. Uvon moving to her present
Shelton home approximately
three years ago, the yard was
bare.
She hauled in rocks and top
soil to build raised beds in which
now flourish geraniums,
nasturtiums, iris, roses and many
other varieties of blooming plants.
She grows lupines from seed,
producing specimens with huge
flower spikes in many shades of
pink. Fuschia baskets ornament
her porch.
It might be said of Mabel
Jones that her gardening efforts
encompass a lot of territory. She
makes baskets of many types, and
she harvests throughout the area
many of the materials used in her
craft.
Cedar bark is taken when the
sap is running. Strips are peeled
from the trees, starting at the

Roger Lawson
ollege
Roger Lawson, drummer with
the band called Lynx, has
completed his freshman year in
the Olympic College in
Bremerton, maintaining
throughout both semesters a
position on the honor roll.
Lawson is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Verl Lawson of Shelton. He
has a brother, Ken, who is bass
guitarist with Lynx, the other two
members of which are Randy
Linder, lead guitar, and Mike
Linder, rythm guitar.
Music is a big thing with
Roger Lawson. The band
rehearses three times a week, and
usually plays once or twice a
week, and sometimes as many as
three or four times.
For the past seven months
Lawson has appeared as drummer
on the Country Jamboree,
televised from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.
every Saturday on Channel t 3. He
has here had the opportunity to
meet and to perform with many
recording artists.
"In my spare time," says
Roger, "I like to sit out in the
yard and play my guitar." He also
sings.
Having played professionally
for more than a year, Lawson has
had ample opportunity to
evaluate the behavior of young
people.
"I feel," he states, "that most
of them are quieting down a little
and beginning to think things
through in a deeper way. Maybe
they're just growing up."
Roger Lawson studied art
throughout his high school years,
and as a Junior and a Senior
painted sets for plays produced
by the drama department. In his
final high school year he received
lig
a scholarship from the Shelton
Art Club.
Commercial art is Lawson's
major, and his course includes
advertising, art history, English,
speech and photography. He
wishes to obtain the Association
of Technical Arts degree in
Olympic College, after which he
would like to continue studies
required to earn a degree in
graphic arts.
Photography has become a
hobby with Roger Lawson within
the last five months. He has a
dark room in his home on Cole
Road, and enjoys finishing his
pictures.
"I believe photography to be
the most worth while thing I've
learned in College," he says.
Roger Lawson lives at home,
driving back and forth to school.
He has joined no clubs.
"I'm attending strictly for the
education," he declares.
Born in Shelton on Jan. 26,
1952, Roger Lawson lived here
until one year old, after which he
resided in Missouri until he
returned to the. Shelton area to
enter the third grade.
Favorite recreations are
camping and hiking.
"I like the water," he
explains, "although I don't swim
too well. I really enjoy just
walking along the beach."
Although Lawson anticipates a
possible career in advertising or
photography, he intends to
continue with professional music.
"I'm getting a lot out of
college," Roger Lawson states, "I
didn't try too hard in high school,
but I am, now. Most of the
students I meet seem to have the
same attitude."

Some of love their tender sonnets write
And others sing of golden by-gone days;
Others praise the glories of the night
And weave their webs of words a thousand ways.
There are those who lay at beauty's feet
A wreathe of fancy phrase and clever rhyme,
Entwined with every sentimental sweet
That has withstood the hollow touch of time.
In sonnet form the hero's tale is told,
Immortalized for ages yet to come;
In fourteen lines may future dreams unfold;
Yet I receive my inspiration from
A berry pie,whose yet unclotted blood
Pours forth from wounded crust, a crimson flood.
