8 Beulah Hitchcock,
daughter Pauline
for Vancouver,
to await the arrival of a
747, bringing Melanie
from France where
been studying this past
Paul Valerie University,
located at Montpellier.

near the airport. The next
morning the threesome headed
for the Carnes home at Des
Moines.
The following week was spent
listening to the interesting
experiences and some hardships
of a young girl alone in a strange
country. Fortunately, her French
vocabulary improved quickly (no
doubt, from necessity) and she
made many friends who were
most helpful during her stay. She
found lodging with a French
family and purchased a motorbike
which she rode to and from
school. She had the misfortune to
be run over by a taxi and was
hospitalized and in a leg cast as a
result of the accident. To avoid a
worry to her morn and
grandmother, Melanie waited
until she returned home to let
them know of that incident.
Besides doing very well with
her studies, she was able to visit
many places of interest such as
Monaco, the French Riviera, the
Mediterranean, Florence, Italy,
the French Alps. She also was
delighted to have a tour of many
old and beautiful castles, saw a
bullfight, visited the Leaning
Tower of Pisa and even went to
the Mardi Gras at Nice.
All in all, Melanie felt she
learned much of the true French
culture as well as perfecting her
French vocabulary and that her
stay in France was very well
worth the time, effort and
expense and she certainly hopes
to be able to return someday.
Another granddaughter of
Beulah Hitchcock's recently
returned from a somewhat shorter
trip and more along the vacation
line. Janel Hitchcock flew from
Sea-Tac to see one of her
roommates of Seattle Pacific
College who lives in Chicago,
Illinois. Janel saw many fights
while a guest of her former
roommate. Then the two girls
drove back to Seattle, stopping
off in Montana to visit another
mutual friend who lives on a huge
2,000-acre wheat farm there.
The Harstine Grange met last
Friday and welcomed two new
members, Lee and Mary
Campbell. A good turnout was on
hand for the potluck supper
followed by the regular meeting.
A report of the dance and also the
Pomona dinner indicated both
events to be successful. Master
Bud Glaser suggested that if the
Community Club and Women's
Club were rmancially able and
also willing the three dubs could
go ahead with the next
installment of the hall roofing
project so those attending won't
have to use umbrellas while we
have future dinners in the dining
room this coming fall and winter.
Among other items of
business taken up was a proposal
for a summer picnic next month
to be held in lieu of the regular
August meeting. Due to the
Mason County Fair the date was
changed to the second Tuesday,
or August 12, with the picnic to
be held at the state park at 6:30
p.m.
A motion was made that the
Harstine Grange have a booth in
this year's county fair to be held
the second, week of August.
During the lecturer's hour at
grange Dorothy and Phil
Chapman told about the trip they
returned from earlier last week.
Leaving home the latter part of
June they were gone about three
weeks. With a destination of
Minnesota, they didn't have too
much time for sidetrips along the
way. However, they did stop to
see the largest gold mine in the
Black Hills of South Dakota. The
Black Hills would easily have
warranted a week or two, but
they had to be satisfied with just
a quick stop to see Mt. Rushmore
since they were so near. They said
all the pictures of those huge
stone faces can never begin to give
one the feeling of total awe that
seeing them in person does. As for
their desire for more time in the
Black Hills, Dorothy said maybe
one day they could just plan an
entire vacation for that area.
At Worthington, Minnesota
they made a brief stop to see their
close friends, the Waidrips' oldest
daughter. She and her husband
are taking care of a 1,200-acre
beef and grain farm.
Upon reaching their
destination of St. Paul, where Phil
was born and raised, they spent
four very enjoyable days visiting
relatives. But Dorothy and the
five kids really discovered what
"hot" ,means when referring to
the weather there. The kids
enjoyed a bit of swimming in
lake Superior.
Enroute home they crossed
into Canada at International Falls
and traveled through the Lake of
the Woods which features 14,000
islands (give or take one or two).
They took a delightful boat tour
before pushing on towards home.
At Portage La Praire, Manitoba,
they took time to attend a local
fair. Then at Glacier Park they
parked their trailer inside the
boundary and took one day to
drive around the beautiful park.
Arriving home they checked their
speedometer and found they had
traveled just over 4,500 miles.
Shirl and Gordon Larson
drove to Sea-Tac earlier this
month to meet some friends from
the Chesapeake Bay area of the
East Coast. The Larsons held an
outdoor dinner party in honor of
their guests, John and Sue Norris,
and also did some cruising aboard
their boat, Miss Fudge. From
here, after spending the best part
of a week, the Norrises headed for
Arizona to visit with their
children and grandchildren, then
went on to Mexico before
returning home to the East Coast.
Enroute back to Sea-Tac the
foursome stopped in Gig Harbor
for lunch.

At the last regular Pioneer
school board meeting held in
June, the board moved to
postpone the July meeting until
the 30th of the month in order
that Superintendent Bill
Lupinacci would be back from
vacation and would be able to be
present. The board met briefly
earlier in the month to sign
vouchers. At the meeting held on
Wednesday of this week,
candidates for the two new
positions were invited to attend.
Mary Cook of Agate,
accompanied by her sons and
daughters in this area, all
journeyed to the Swauk
Recreation Area near Cle Elum
for a big family reunion of the
Robinson family. Between 250
and 300 members of the family
gathered for the special occasion,
including Mary's six brothers and
one sister. Some of the relatives
came from as far away as
Louisiana and Michigan. But the
honor of living the farthest away
went to a friend who attended
with one of the family members.
He was from Australia! Ages
ranged from 77 down to 2½.
The sons and daughters of
Jessie Jones and their families
wish to extend a special thank
you to the Pickering
Homemakers, the Agate Grange
and to friends and neighbors for
all the love and kindness and help
extended in their special hour of
need these past few weeks. There
just aren't enough words to
express all their appreciation.

Thus far you have been
reading what should have been
last week's news. However, due to
the fact that this column arrived
too late to be printed because of
some unavoidable circumstances,
you are getting an instant replay
(well almost) this week.
Gret and Gordon Simmons
presently have a guest that they
would like to have return home as
soon as possible. She arrived just
over two weeks ago, and for lack
of anywhere else to obtain a
square meal, has been mooching
at the Simmonses. The guest is a
small canine, female, yellow and
white, and is wearing a leather
collar inscribed "Lu-Lu." So if
any reader or a friend or neighbor
is missing a beloved pet, call the
Gordon Simmonses.
Wayne and Beula Browning
recently returned home from a
five.week cross-country trip
which took them across the
northern states, down the East
Coast and back through the
southern and central states. While
they were away they had Dot
Smith as their housesitter.
Pauline and lke Carlson
arrived in the area the first part of
last week and spent several days
with their niece, Dell Dwyer, and
her family, who had just moved
from the home they sold near
Pioneer School back to the
property where Dell spent most
of her childhood. The Dwyers
purchased a large double-wide
mobile home and put it in near
the house she knew as home
many years ago. The house is
being repaired for bedrooms for
the two oldest Dwyer sons.
Last Saturday Ike supervised a
"shack moving party" at his
Island Shores property to make
room for the mobile home he and
Pauline purchased in Tacoma last
week. At one point during the
moving project, Ike was heard to
remark, "Sure must have been
some kinda terrific party last
night" when the shack was sitting
kattywampus between the old
and the new location. For a cabin
that was engineered and
constructed in less than one day,
it sure proved to be a mightly
sturdy structure!
Last Thursday morning the
Hole-in-the-Wall residents at the
south end of Harstine had a
ringside seat to a spectacular
tragedy. A 52-foot yacht which
had just been acquired by a
Shelton family was headed for a
San Juan cruise. They had come
from Shelton and stayed
overnight at the Squaxin Island
State Park. The next morning just
as they were ready to continue
on, smoke was observed coming
from the cabin of the boat.
Fearing an explosion might be
imminent, nearby boats helped
the owners from the craft and the
Coast Guard called. Before long,
flames erupted and one resident
reported it had burned nearly to
the water line when they last saw
the craft, with the Coast Guard
still hovering nearby, floating
towards Johnson Point.
One day last week when I was
running an errand on Point
Wilson, 1 had a chance for a short
but most enjoyable visit with
many of the residents there. Ernie
and Mary Chaffee were looking
forward to the arrival of their
nephew, Don Chaffee, and his
family from Calfornia and also a
niece, Pat Marble, and her family
from Sparks, Nevada. Both
families plan to spend 10 days to
two weeks here on the island.
Bernard Miller

alns ran
Bernard P. Miller, a teacher at
Pioneer School, was one of 29
graduates of the Army National
Guard's Washington Military
Academy who were given their
second lieutenant's bars in
ceremonies last Saturday at Camp
Murray in Tacoma.
Miller, 93 Crescent Drive,
belongs to Detachment 1, Troop
E, 303rd Cavalry in Shelton and is
now a second lieutenant in the
National Guard and Army
Reserves.
He will be assigned to a
National Guard unit in the state
and will serve as a small unit
leader or staff officer.
The graduation marks the end
of a year-long effort by cadets.
They attended two summer
camps of two weeks' duration.
They were educated in the basics
of military life, were schooled in
small unit tactics and were given
leadership training they will need
as officers.
Yes, Hill House does seem to
be haunted. According to Dr.
John Montague, head of the
research team, "The evil is in the
house itself, I think. It enchains
and destroys the lives of those
who live here."
But yet his wife believes that
the entire thing can be traced
back to the nun who was walled
up in the basement. Meanwhile,
Elanor Vance, a young psychic
researcher, seems to be the center
of attention. Hill House seems
willing to give everyone who lives
there quite a frightening
experience.
These are scenes from "The
Haunting of Hill House," a
three-act play to be presented by
the Flyloft Players, Shelton's own
little theatre group. The play will
be presented on August 8 and 9 at
7:30 p.m. in the Evergreen School
auditorium.
The cast contains seven
members. Marilyn Folsom is the
troubled Elanor Vance. Robin
Trucksess is the mysterious
Theodora. Richard Nikula is the
psychic expert in charge, Dr.
Montague. Mark Lindgren is the
empty-headed heir to Hill, House,
Luke Sanderson, Kysa Jackstadt
is the overbearing, talkative Mrs.
M ontague. Mike Krona is the
All-American Arthur. And Genie
Weston is the capable Mrs.
Dudley.
Cost is $1.2-5 for adults, 75
cents for children ages 5-12, and
50 cents for senior citizens.
Tickets will be at the door.

Beginning mid-year, the U.S. Govelnment will be urging all who
receive social security checks to have them sent directly to a fina,cial
institution for deposit.
/
Simpson Employees' Federal Credit Union is among those
institutions authorized to receive and deposit social~securlty checks.
Purpose of the program is to reduce the enormous volume of !m,i~er
checks cleared through the banking system. Social Security is madi,~q
out 43 million checks a month for a total of about ~/2 billion a yem
Combining many into a single check can reduce not only check
writing but mailing cost, handling and replacement of lost checks.
There are several advantages to the social security recipient under
the direct deposit program. First, and perhaps most important, is safety
from loss as checks are being stolen from mail boxes under the present
system. Secondly, many retired people are travelers, and direct deposit
will provide less worry as to proper handling of their social security
checks. The recipient knows with direct deposit that the money ~s safe
in his account and doesn't have to ask a friend to mail the check to him
each month.
Direct deposit of social security checks is not new to financial
institutions as many recipients have been doing just that by filling out
Standard Form 233, authorized by the Department of the Treasury and
available at Social Security Offices. However, under the new program,
only SF 1199 will be accepted as authorization for direct deposit. This
new form will be mailed to each social security recipient this summer.
We also plan to have these forms available at SEFCU offices.
