Two cases of r'oad
improvement have taken place
recently here on the Island.
County crews first put a sealer
coat on the road that had
previously been oiled from the
old garbage dump site down to
the Ballow road junction. Then a
week or so later they came out
and oiled the newly remodeled
hill on the Haskell Hill road. Only
that part that was worked on last
summer received the blacktop
coating since the rest of the road
over to the Marina would need
additional improvement before it
could be done.
Then last week a construction
crew piled a large supply of gravel
at the sight of the former Harstine
School. Then toward the end of
the week they commenced a
blacktop coating of the road from
the Hall clear up to meet the
blacktopped road at the beginning
of the Harstene Pointe
Development. And we can well
believe this project, no doubt,
met with the complete approval
of the residents living along that
road. Due to the heavy flow of

John and Beulah Hitchcock
have been spending a good share
of their summer dropping in
frequently at the home of their
daughter, Pauline Carnes to help
their grandaughter, Melanie pass
the long summer days. Melanie is
still confined to a cast and mostly
her bed since she underwent back
surgery the first part of June. She
won't be able to start school until
around the first of October.
Beulah and John went up this
past week to help her celebrate
her birthday Monday. They
report she is progressing very well
according to her doctor. But
Beulah say's she's withholding her
own diagnosis of REAL progress
until she sees Melanie back
running around just like before
the operation. But she's in
wonderful spirits as her numerous
friends just don't give her a
chance to feel low. Her room
resembles a miniature Grand

The Charm school, conducted
by Mrs. Haldane Johnson has
become very popular and after six
sessions has been declared a real
success. Around a dozen teenage
girls meet with Pat every
Wednesday morning learning good
grooming, how to dress and act
and how much fun it is 'Just
being a girl.' One day the 4th
runner-up in the Miss Washington
contest, Cathy Johnson, a niece of
Mrs. Johnson, came to the class
and gave the girls pointers on
posture and some of the things
she had learned in charm school•
There will be four more lessons
and all teenage girls are welcome.
Mary and Chester Valley
returned Friday from a trip to the
East Coast, New York and Maine.
Brother Dwight Valley, .manager
of a Woolworth Store on Staten
Island, took Chet and Mary on a
three day tour of the town. They
rode the Staten Island ferry for 5c
fare, rode the elevators 67 stories
up in the Rockefeller Center, saw
the Broadway show, Fiddler on
the Roof. They visited the United
Nations Bldg., Stock Market,
Madison Square Garden and rode
the subways all under New York.
In Macy's Dept. store they
windowed shopped and saw fresh
salmon for $5 per lb., smoked
salmon, $9. per pound. A glass of
milk is 40c and a cup of coffee
35c.
Coming back the Valley's
rode in a 747 Boeing jet on which
there are 1 2 restrooms. No
waiting in line there.
Mr. and Mrs. Claud Dugger

in Creswell, Ore. last week and
then attended the Multnomah
County fair in Portland with Mr.
and Mrs. "Cap" Malar from
Boring, Ore.
and go constantly. They bring
things to do and join her to do
them. Club meetings are either
held in her room or they carefully
and very gently transfer her to a
chaise lounge and then it and her
out into the yard. Via this latter
means, and with her doctor's
approval they even loaded her
into the back of a pickup truck
and drove to a nearby drive-in
theater where they backed into a
stall and then with pillows and
blankets they all piled in beside
Melanie and had a delightful
evening. A story such as this
inspirational one, leaves one with
the thought: In all the world is
there anything more wonderful
than true friends.
Nine members of the Harstine
Grange journied to Twanoh
Grange last Friday evening. This
Grange has been beseiged by
problem after problem while
constructing their new hall just
outside of Allyn on the Belfair
highway. Since none of the
Grangers were able to attend the
Open House celebrating their new
hall it was decided at the last
meeting that as many as possible
try to go to their regular meeting
this month to extend our best
wishes to a wonderful Grange for
their true perseverance
throughout all the hardships that
have befallen them in this huge
effort. For Helen and Marshall
Olson, Dorothy and Phil
Chapman, Glenn and Carmen
Yates, Bud Glaser, Chet
Streckenback, and Erik
Christensen it was a delightful
evening well spent.
Steig and Beula Gabrielsen
took their new boat out for a test
spin last week for a six day get
acquainted cruise. The first day
out they stopped at Ketron Island
which they'd never been to
previously. One night was spent
there. Then they cruised on up to
Blake Island which is just to the
north of Vashon Island. it was
there that their nineteen year old
cat, Cindy wandered off on a
sightseeing trip of her own. (It
seems as though a good many of
their jaunts just wouldn't be
complete without a missing cat
story) But as before the tale
(pardon the pun) turned out
all right. It seems the Indians
had found her and when they
located her the next morning she
was on Cloud Nine (that is if cats
have a Cloud Nine) and
thoroughly enjoying bein~ treated
to the Feline Red Carpet Service
as though she was of Royal
Blood. And as far as she was
concerned Steig and Beula could
go peddle their papers or do what
ever they pleased she was literally
up to her eyebrows in a fish feast
bestowed upon her by her new
friends - perched, where else -
right smack dab in the middle of
one of their outdoor picnic
tables!
With the cat and dog once
again all aboard they headed
toward Bremerton and up to Port
Washington Narrows and the area
around Chico.

overnight visit before heading
the family's San Diego home. This
writer happened to have an
opportunity to visit with him
briefly when he was helping Pat
Ness do some shopping for the
Marina in a Shelton grocery store
last Saturday. It was plain to see
he sure wished he and his family
still called Harstine home.
Also spending this week on
the Island are the Olsons summer
neighbors, Mrs. Owens and her
daughter, Phyllis from Seattle.

Smokey and I have really
been busy this past week. With all
this hot weather Smokey has
really had to watch out for
careless people who start forest
fires. Smokey knows how easy it
is for someone to forget to put
their campfire completely out, or
forget to use their ashtray and
toss their matches or cigarettes
out the window. He also knows
that every 1 5 seconds, somewhere
in this country, one of those
careless people start a forest fire.
Smokey and I made a visit to
Potlatch State Park. There were
lots of people there and it was a
very hot day. We reminded these
people that the future of our
country, state, and nation rests in
the hands of our boys and girls.

Proper use of our trees and forests
will vitally affect our prosperity.
Forest fires and unwise cutting
are the principal threats to these
resources.
Keep this thought in mind as
you are packing your things to
leave the city for a weekend in
the forest. Also, keep in mind this
verse sung by Ivar Haglund, the
man who was a key figure in the
Keep Washington Green
movement.
Green grows the forests, and
clear flow the streams,
The mountain deer browses,
the wild blossom gleams,
From Ocean wave surging, to
mountain serene,
All nature is praying: "Keep
Forest Lands Green".
