PREVENT FOREST
& RANGE FIRES
SINCE 1940
KEEP WASHINGTON GREEN
ASSOCIATION, INCORPORATED
By DEE WlLLIAMSON
More fun, more sun, and
unfortunately more fires!
Smokey and I visited Twanoh,
Belfair and Camp Robbinswald
this week. There were hundreds
of people in each camp. Smokey
and I were impressed with the
enthusiasm of everyone, but we
felt the parents thought we were
talking only to the children.
Smokey and I feel we need to
reach parents as much or more
than children. After all, who is
driving and tossing cigarettes out
the windows? And, I think we're
safe in saying, more adults are
building campfires and going
camping than their children.
Everyone needs to help on our
fire prevention campaign. Even if
you're 75, you aren't too old to
memorize Smokey's ABC's of
safety, or a verse from Smokey's
song. If you've never heard or
seen Smokey's theme song, pay
careful attention as you read it
now.
"If you've ever seen the forest
!
when a fire is running wild, and
you love the things within it like a
mother loves her child, then you
know why Smokey tells you
when he sees you passing through
'Remember... please be
careful.., it's the least that you
can do."
This song may mean nothing
at all to you. If it doesn't, visit a
park close by, for example:
Schafer State Park, BelfaSt and
Twanoh State Parks, Cushman,
and many others. Just watch the
children run through the trees, or
float down a forest stream on an
inner tube. Watch the chipmunks
scurry around between sleeping
bags. Breathe the fresh air, and
feel the enthusiasm of the people
there. Then reread Smokey's
song.
It's been very dry lately. Dry
lightning is threatening the forests
in the high mountains. We can't
control nature-caused fires, but
we can try and control careless
men and women. Please be
cautious, make our forests a nice
place to visit.

New Decal
'ned
The Keep Washington Green
Association is introducing a new
"We're Wild About Washington"
decal for use during the 1971
fire season, according to KWG
director Ed Loners.
Loners said 10,000 of the new
vinly decals have already been
distributed, primarily for use on
cars and campers, in hopes of
creating awareness of fire danger
in the state before the forests and
range lands become critically dry.
The new three color decals are
available to residents and visitors
of Washington by sending a
self-addressed envelope to the
Association at Anderson Hall,
University of Washington, Seattle,
98105.

Residents gather in the large,
attractive clubhouse once each
month for potluck dinners.
Hostesses for the last one were
Mrs. Caroline Pollock and Mrs.

Mrs. Radtke furnished piano
music for dancing and listening.
The bookmobile which calls
every other week arrived Tuesday
in ninety degree heat. It was met
by Mrs. Gladys White with a cool
drink of fruit juice for Lloyd
Hildinger, driver and Mrs. Doris
Whitmarsh, librarian. Chilled Bing
cherries were brought by Mrs.
Frances Radtke and the
bookmobile staff was invited to
sit a few moments in the breeze at
Mrs. Alma Heath's picnic table.
Since the bookmobile was parked
close to her home, Mrs. Radtke
dashed off a tune or two on her
organ for their amusement.
Also present were Mrs.
Caroline Pollock, Mrs. Dorthee
Gregg and Brian. The bookmobile
sign "No Silence" was observed.

Alcohol Rule
' ' shi
New rules limited the use of
alcohol and prohibiting glass and
metal containers on swimming
beaches will be enforced in
Washington State Parks beginning
Monday, August 9.
The 1971 Legislature removed
State Parks from the category of
"public places" where State Law
prohibited the Opening and
consumption of alcoholic
beverages. As a result, midnight,
August 8, will end the last legally
"dry" day in State Parks.
To provide for suitable
regulation of alcohol use when it
becomes permissible in the parks
for the first time in the state's
history, the Washington State
Parks and Recreation
Commission, July 19, approved
rules to become additions to
chapter 352-32 of the
Washington Administrative Code,

Setting a schedule of public
meetings on the Zoning Ordinance,
consideration of proposed
standards for fire protection in
new subdivisions, approval of a
replat at Kamilche, and discussion
of an unadvertised plat of
Cushman Lake 15 were features
of the regular meeting last
Wednesday of the Mason County
Planning Commission.
Public meetings were
proposed for September 20 in
Belfair; for September 27 at the
Hood Canal Junior High and for
October 5 in Matlock, so that
residents of those areas can meet
with the Planning Commission to
discuss the ordinance. Copies of
the Ordinance can be obtained in
BelfaSt at the Huckleberry Herald
office and at the Belfair Library.
The Commission decided that
minimum standards for fire
protection should be part of the
subdivision ordinance, with each
fire protection district invited to
indicate special provisions that
might be advisable in their
districts. Hydrants no more than
700 feet apart, a flow of 500
gallons per minute for two hours,
and standard hose outlets were
discussed. After suggestions for
rewording are incorporated in a
new draft, the commission will
consider this again.
The replat of Kamilche was
approved after a lengthy
discussion as to the status of this
development under the
Shorelands Protection Act. The
commission voted to approve the
replat for in their view it is an
upgrading of an old plat
containing 2500 foot lots, and
therefore comes under the intent
of the Shorelands Protection Act.

Mr. and Mrs. Richard

They enjoyed three days of good
weather beach combing and
watching fishermen return with
their catches.
The Richard Schaufflers also
attended a picnic at the Island
Lake home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Ahl.
Mr. and Mrs. Clyde White

"Ooops! or Life's Awful

funny, down-to-earth sampling of
those unexpected situations we all
suffer and somehow manage to
survive.
"Quiet, Yelled Mrs. Rabbit"

life with four daughters and one
son. Mrs. Epsy highlights
occasions and phases of
growing-up that are bell-fingers in
every family.
"The Fully Processed Cheese"

Norman Ward who has the ability
to look at life completely askew:

are not regular sized and you're

After 18 months of operation,
the state's water right claims
registration program is
maintaining a slow but steady
flow. As of July 1, the
Department of Ecology has
received 7,000 registration forms
from the public.
The total received since the
Department began sending out
registration forms in January,
1970, indicates the pace will pick
up. William Miller, registration
chief, estimates some 250,000
claims will be filed before the
June 30, 1974 deadline.
The big push is expected in
early 1972. About 1.2 million
reminders to file water right
claims will be included in the
annual county tax statement
mailings.
In order to prevent a log jam
of claim forms and to provide
better service, the Department is
urging residents to file as soon as
possible. The forms are available
in all the county auditor offices in
eastern Washington. The state
watermasters in eastern
Washington also have the forms
available. Western Washington
residents can obtain the forms by
writing to:

Registration Act of 1969 carries
the following provisions:
1. It requires a separate
registration by June 30, 1974 of
each claim to a water right.
2. Failure to register will
result in a waiver and

right.
3. This claim registration is
required for individuals without a

WHAT'S A POISON?
Almost anything used in the
wrong way or In the wrong amount
Is a poison. It may be a cleaning
compound that's taken by mouth --
a "wrong way" use; or a helpful
medicine that's taken in too large a
quantity -- a "wrong amount" use.
Because children are curious
they're particularly susceptible to
both kinds of poisoning. More than
90 per cent of all poisoning
accidents Involve children. A good
rule for all substances that may
become poisons: Keep out of the
reach of children.
Another good rule: Know what
to do In case of poisoning.
Here your pharmacist can help.
Because emergency treatment varies
depending upon the substance that
caused the poisoning, you need to
know what to do In each case. Your
pharmacist can tell you and provide
you with a list of Instructions. He
also can recommend antidotes and
emetics that you should have on
hand -- In case.
And keep things away from
tots.
