Few. if any of the many forest festival workers who knew Gus Olafson recognized the obituary of Gus Rosberg, published in last week's Journal. as that of the man who sold more forest festival membership buttons than any other single individual. Neither did we on the Journal staff. JUST HOW GUS Rosberg got to be Gus Olafson is sorething perhaps someone of Scandinavian origin can explain, but during the many years he was a resilient of this community he had become known as Gus Olafson. first by the millworkers with whom he as- sociated for many years and for whom he helped found Local 138 of the International Woodworkers of America. serving as its secre- tary; then by his customers while he operated a shoe repair shop on Third street, where C. C. Cole & Sons now have offices; and last- ly by his fellow workers in the forest festival. Gus Olafson did much for the forest festival, and the forest fes- ival did much for Gus. As the years piled up and his energies declined, his main interest in life became his connection with the forest festival. It became a tradi- tion that the first membership button each year went on Gus' famous red hat. bedecked with each of the 18 buttons issued by the festival association AND EACII YEAR from the moment the buttons arrived Gus kept a pocketful of them on hand. and he was ever prepared to sell them. He was rightfully proud of his record, for he sold hundreds of buttons year after year, even in failing health the past two or three years which greatly reduced his ability to move about Shortly after this year's forest festival, at 80 years of age, Gus no longer was able to care for himself in the quarters he had oc- cupied at the Shelton Hotel for many years. He was placed in the Manor Nursing Home where others could attend his needs. There he died July 25, unheralded and un- recognized under his true name of Rosberg. The forest festival has lost one of its sincerest friends and most 00TER CAN'T ME valued workers, its champion mer- bership button salesman. weather The .True Value High Low Precip.

VIRGINIA ALLISON Mrs. Allison: In your report from the Lilli- waup area. you stated. "We along Hood Canal have learned to dis- like skin divers". I feel this state- ment should be deleted to read "Some of us along Hood CanaL" The skin divers in the Hood Canal area are well aware of the discen- lion caused by a minority group of divers. However. upon further investigation, it has been proven that the odium attached to all skin divers in general, has eminat- ed from a group of "rogue" divers 1tom the ,Portland Vancouver area. and the feeling of animosity Los been furthered by a small, but busy group of Hood Canal proper- ty owners. These divers as individuals are everything you claim, and even more. but as skin divers, they are a very small group in a huge body of people. As an example of the injustice of accusing a body as a whole for the ill will generated by a few, please consider divers as indivi- duals. The local diving clubs in Shelton have memberships consis- ting of people who own water- front property on almost every body of water in Mason County. (Including Hood Canal. These people are Doctors, Nurses. Marine Biologists, Chemists, Laboratory, PUD. and Telephone workers. Tea- chers, Business owners, etc. I list these occupations to show that generally speaking, these "people" are deserving of the same amount of respect as anyone else. and yet, with the act of donning a diver's wet suit. theyare • automatically classified as one of those "obnox- Ious" skin divers. Our local clubs have. for the half decade, been advocates of moderation when fishing. We spend our time t(nderwater search- ing for marine specimens, shells. sunken ships, scenery and photo- graphy subjects. Further we have been called on to recover cars. outboard motors, mormg anchers. bodies, fishing poles, shells, fish specimens, etc. by some of the people 'along Hood Canal." These things we do gladly, and stand ready to do again, if the need arises. I write this letter to point out that the "Old Breed" of skin diver is also a conscienciOus group, and I feel that the situation which has existed hereto for, is partly the fault of those who have lumped all skin divers into one category, d condemned the lot. If the blame ear be placed on the guilty par0ies in the future, perhaps there can be greater harmony "along Hood .Canal'" Sincerely E. R.

They kept detailed rec- ords of their family food spending during the month of March. This was part of the study conducted by Washington State University through the Agricultural Exten- sion Service. There were 156 fam- ilies who kept records. Mason County had nine cooperators. Recently the state summary be- came available. Pictmed here are some of the local recorders going over results. They are seated, left: Mrs. W. R. Baker. and Mrs. Eldon Harper. Standing left is Mrs. Du- aRe Scott. and Mrs. Floyd Ridout. Others from this county were the families of Edward Bunnell, Glenn Gee. Stanley Lyman. Robert Tem- breull and Paul B. Wood. Findings from this area are be- ing used by credit agencies and financial advisors in making esti- mates of costs of family living. SOME OF THE MOST pertinent results showed that about $112.12 per month was going over the su- permarket counters from the av- erage families. Of this there was eighty percent spent for food. In additiofi families were spending about $6.81 for school lunches ana $12.33 for restaurant meals. This made the cash costs for food alone well over $100 per month• The study included 38 families who lived on farms. 64 who were rural non-farm residents, and 54 who were living in town. There were 4.5 persons per family. They had nearly.20 people as food or snort( guests in their homes during the month. About one-third of their food money was going for meats. Fruits and vegetables were taking one- fifth Dairy foods were taking one- sixth. Breads and cereals were al- so taking one-sixth. Soft drinks took about $4 per average family during the month. Over three- fourths of the families were us- ing meats they had stored in their own freezers or lockers. Many oth- er' foods were being used from Seattle Woman is Suicide Victim At Belfair Mrs. N£ary Gay Belcham. 58.
