A happy sixteen years was
reached by Gwen Pederson with a
surprise beach party arranged
early in July by her mother, Mrs.
Amick with water skiian_g, a
bon~re, and a huge birthday cake
celebl-ating the event.
The arrival of the honor guest
was arranged with the delivery of
some needed things at the Amick
home. Flourescent colored
balloons tied to the trees greeted
Gwen with the surprise of
gathered friends. The decorations
had been made in secret work
sessions with Mrs. Amick painting
large balloons with "Happy
Birthday Gwen" that were
anchored and floating in the
water during the party. Inner
tubes had been painted with a
rood theme by Mrs. Pederson and

Don't forget the Flea Market

enjoyed and the money goes to
the many worthy activities of
Belfair.
Happy reminiscing includes
the silver wedding anniversary

Mr~ and Mrs. Melvin Phillips.
Fifty guests were present to

I wasted half my vacation trying to decide whether to devote my
Huck Friend column in this first issue to a welcome to all the
subscribers of the Journal who might be giving our paper the once-over
to see what this "Huckleberry Herald" business spread throughout the
Journal the past three weeks is all about and then give a little history of
our newspaper.., or if I should let the Herald subscribers in on all the
little problems of the changeover.

Louise what kind of dog THAT was?) Most people who might find
themselves in the unusual position of having to drive through a
metropolitan city with a goat in the back seat (how do you get in that
position?) would travel after dark and keep to the alleys but not
Louise.
As her readers will discover when they read Louise's column this
week, she is planning to become an ex-correspondent. I don't like the
idea at all. I've been trying to think of something embarrassing she
might have told me during our years of friendship with which I might
blackmail her into continuing but l'm afraid she's already put them all
in her column. Hey! I know what I can do. I can offer to correct all the
spelling mistakes in her college papers this fall in exchange for a weekly
column.
How about it, Louise? Is it a deal?
