YATES 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. to say, the joy of the again of mother and and also grandmother was a special it was very late was very, very tired flight, a room for the taken at Hyatt House Do-It Witch trencher) ete Tools Skidster LOader Sand Blaster Scaffolding All for rent at = 426-1091 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. Pioneer gll my friends in Shelton area...

Olympia Home Phone 943-4603 426-1267 By CARMEN YATES 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.

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 • iller I 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.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE READING ROOM 107 South Second -- Shelton r mq posit c 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. I.;ll:h iiD?lllht.i" ;tci..,|lltl[ ill*.i|lCd I(, ~,41),()11~) b~.
