What are you doing at 7 o'clock tonight?
If the weather is hot most readers in Huckleberry Herald
territory will probably be sitting on their beach or floating on
an inner tube or diving off their dock to cool off.
By taking just 30 minutes of your time to forsake your
water activities, gather up the kids, visiting relatives and
summer neighbors, to pass out paper and pencils and watch
the "National Water Safety Test" on Channel 9, you may
learn some life-saving fact which may save the life of
someone dear to you.
In this part of the County almost everyone lives on the
water; either Hood Canal, Puget Sound or one of the many
lakes of the area. During the summer months most recreation
centers around water-oriented activities, whether it be
swimming, fishing or water-skiing.
As more and more people move into the area each year,
the number of close calls increases and one never knows
when he or she will find themselves in the spot of having to
help out in an emergency.
The emergency may involve total strangers whose boats
hit each other as they pass your house. Or it may be a small
relative who hasn't learned to swim who falls off your dock.
From the story sent out by the American Red Cross, found
elsewhere in the paper, it sounds like the film tonight should
give you an idea of how to act when an emergency arises.
And with Pat Paulsen as the star, it would be entertaining as
well as educational.
Wouldn't you feel more relaxed during the next busy
holiday weekend when 15 people you didn't invite join the
20 you did to enjoy your beach to know that in case of an
accident, your family will be prepared to do the right thing?
A PILOT CAR was busy in Belfair last Thursday and Friday
as it led cars down one side of the highway while the other
side got a new coat of asphalt. Last weekend's summer
residents and tourists were happy to find the State Highway
department had widened and smoothed out the bumps from
the road through town.

A new auto parts store
opened for business in Belfair last
week with three members of the
Belfair Pack Rats, a search and
rescue group, as co-owners.
Besides furnishing auto parts, for
which they have the North Mason
franchise for Mopar products,
they will specialize in parts for
4-wheel drive vehicles. Each is
owner of a Jeep which they have
used or~ rescue missions and they
know how hard it has been at
times to find replacements for
parts broken on trips over some
of the local back roads.
Ray Sage, Barry Snorer and
Gene Triplett are the three to join
the growing list of Belfair
businessmen. All three are
keeping their regular jobs for the
time being, at least, and Sage's
wife, Bev, will be on duty to run
the store when one of the owners
is not available.
At present Sage is working
graveyard shift at PSNS, Snover
works dayshift at Bremerton
Bottling and Triplett, also on
dayshift, is employed by North
Shore Service.
With the new shop to be open
six days a week, from 9 to 9,
there will be lots of opportunity
for the men to be on hand during
their off-hours from their regular
jobs. Emergency calls will be
handled on Sundays. Boat trailer

ANOTHER NEW BUSINESS in Belfair opened last week as
three local men opened an auto parts store next to the Belfair

enterprise is the building next to
Belfair PUD which was formerly
occupied by Belfair Electric.
Last week most of their
business was from local service
stations who were finding it
convenient to let SS and T furnish
parts needed for car repair jobs,
but the three owners hope that
they can serve individuals in the
area, too, as they learn of the
availability of their service.
An open house is planned for
the near future.

The North Shore
Homemakers Club met for the
month of August at the home of
Olive Griffith near Millwood
where they spent the day playing
pinochle as a relief from the
unrelenting duties of
homemaking.
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur McKaig
of Pleasant Cove spent four days
last week cruising in Canadian
waters with friends. Son Robert
caught his first salmon. Earlier,
without children, the McKaigs
spent six days sailing in the San
Juans.
Back in 1908 Ada Lincoln
Miller, alone and single-handed,
developed a homestead near
Bison, South Dakota. This
summer she attended an annual
celebration of pioneer days in the
community. It was there that she
was later married and there where
her husband died in the terrible
"flu epidemic of 1918."
Mrs, Miller's six-week trip
took her to Spokane, Big Timber,
Montana, and finally to her
former home, which she still
owns, in Decorub, Iowa, where
she visited her cousin.
SCARE ON NORTH SHORE
A carload of teenagers went
through a frightening experience
on North Shore around noon
August 2 when another car
I tailgated them off and on,
accelerating and then dropping
back, until finally, the driver must
have misjudged the distance and
the car struck the car ahead in the
rear. It then took off before the
driver could be apprehended. The
teenagers' vehicle was damaged to
the extent of $100 in the trunk
area.
