Queen Reveals "Real" Duties
course. In other words the
coronation passed, the parade
ended and so much for this year's
queen. But in reality these two
events fill only a tiny portion of
the queen's actual schedule which
runs through August.
Janice Wittenberg began her
real work directly following her
coronation. Preceding the actual
Forest Festival she, her court and
Paul Bunyan acted as publicity
agents for Shelton's annual
celebration. They traveled to
surrounding communities
spreading good will through their
visits to Rotary clubs, Kiwanis
Early in March the student
body of Shelton High School
chooses a court for the Forest
Festival. Later in the monfh
county judges select a queen from
the five princesses. Then we hold
a coronation dinner and everyone
ohs and aws about the queen's
beauty and promptly the next
morning temporarily forgets her
very existence. In May the actual
Forest Festival arrives and again
we hear the echo of ohs and aws
as we view Mason County's
mistress riding on her float.
Everyone leaves the parade

queen she was, in past tense, of

clubs and chamber of commerce.
During a tour to Bremerton they
placed first with their car in the
city's annual parade.
For Janice three other
processions succeeded Forest
Festival, each instance drawing
more attention to Christmas
Town U.S.A. Their float won first
prize in the McCleary Bear
Festival, third in the Olympia
Lake Fair and passed through the
first judging in the Seattle Seafair.
The ,grand finale occurred in the
form of a ball in Seattle honoring
all the queens and princesses at
Seafair.
Now with all the excitement of
pageantry behind her Janice
settles down to her final official
d u ty: writing the Keep
Washington Green Column. This
occupation fills her weekends
with sojourns to county state
parks and camps. The week she
spends in part composing her
conservation material before
submitting her column to the
Journal.
For the rest of the week she
exchanges her regal attire for a
black uniform and white apron
and transforms herself into a
waitress at Heines Broiler.
Maintaining the position of the
oldest in the family of 10 leaves
little time for summer play
particularly with college expenses
looming over her head in the
fall.
Janice will attend Seattle
University as a nursing major,
later specializing in physical
therapy. Her iniative earned her
four scholarships to help meet
costs. SU awarded her their
nursing scholarship and a Schafer
scholarship. The remainder of her
financial aid will come from the
Soroptimist C'lub and the North
Mason Achievement Award.
Janice's many duties as queen
and her personal monetary
responsibilities leave her little
space for more pleasurable
activities. Her hobbies include
water skiing, tennis, sewing and
fishing, but dust gathers on these
interests due to lack of time.
Being a queen, it seems, has its
draw backs and consists of more
than a pretty girl on a float.

Cooking for many women too
often lapses into the form of
drudgery while their minds dream
of exciting places and acitivities.
Very few domestic chefs find the
fulfillment in their work that they
seek in their daytime and
nightime reveries. Rather they go
on picturing themselves in some
creative and glorious occupation,
not realizing they hold that very
reality at their finger tips. Mary
Serum fully utilizes this
opportunity, finding the
fascination in her kitchen that
most women only discover in
their fantasies.
Mary makes a full-time hobby
and part-time career out of her
cooking. She collects recipes from
a variety of geographical
locations, covering both the
United States and the world. This
week's entree, "Beef
Empanadas,' arrived from Chile
through friends of Mary's. She
frequently uses this dish for
serving at parties.
Mary's merger of culinary
talents with globe trotting
developed only after some
traveling on her own part. She
grew up in the midwest, went to
school in Mt. Vernon, settled in
Seattle and then moved to Alaska
where she lived for twenty years
She now works as a cashier at
the new Mason County Bank. tier
other activities in Shelton ificlude
membership with the Zonta Club
and active tournout in the
Shelton Recreation Bowling
League. She lists music as her
greatest hobby other than
cooking.
Mary and her husband recently
bought a house in the downtown
area. Settled once again she limits
her contacts with far-way-places
to cuisine reproductions. She
treats cooking not as a drudgery
but as a reprieve,

A FORUM ABOUT MATURE WOMEN
Dear Miss Brookfield:
I am 45, widowed and the
mother of two teenagers, one a
boy. After the death of my
husband over a year ago, my son
seems to be changing. His grades
have slipped, he has dropped out
of group activites, and when I try
o talk to him now, he acts as if
he has an awful chip on his
shoulder. Have you any
suggestions?
F.D., Cudahy, Wis.
Dear F.D.:
Since a boy usually models
himself on his father, it is difficult
for a mother to assume a dual
parental role. In doing so, you
may not be able to give him the
mothering' that you are best
qualified to give. Your son may
need male companionship - an
uncle, a family friend, a
grandparent, a college student, a
group leader, or a school teacher.
It is essential that this man be
someone whom the child trusts,
for he will be undertaking a
cruscial role in your boy's life.
If, as you say, your son's loss
of his father is having a
detrimental effect on his school
work, you should talk to the
school authorities, explaining the
family situation. They, too, can
be most helpful to your son at
this crucial time in his
development, further complicated
by the loss of a father.
ALONE AND WEEPING
Dear Miss Brookfieid:
Isn't the mother-of-the-bride
upposed to be moderately
happy? My daughter got married
a month ago. Admittedly the
preparations took a lot out of me,
but I find myself either crying or
finding excuses to put off the
household chores. Sometimes I
haven't even prepared dinner for
my husband by the time he comes
home. I guess I really miss my
daughter. Is this normal? Will I
get over it?
C.W., Corpus Christi, Tex.
Dear C.W.:
Your re.ction is not
uncommon. For many women,
the changes in th family -
children going off to college or
getting married - occur at a time
when their body is also
undergoing changes: the onset of
the menopause. With the children
grown and no longer requiring full
attention, some women
experience a sense of uselessness
and emptiness. Get yourself
involved in community activities
or develop a hobby that once
interested you.
Before you do, see your
doctor. If your symptoms are
caused by the menopause,
medication can help. With the
onset of the menopause, the body
produces less of the hormone,
estrogen. This change, in some
women, gives rise to a variety of
complailats. If so, estrogen
replacement therapy can relieve
many of the symptoms.

SUPERFLUOUS HAIR
Dear Miss Brookfield:
Like the woman, B.K., from
Los Angeles, I have a problem
with excess facial hair. I have
tried to remove it by many means
but without success. even visited
an out-of-town plastic surgeon,
but he offered no hope. What
causes this? Is there anything you
can recommend besidea
electrolysis?
M. M., Gainesboro, Tenn.
,Dear M. M.:
The causes of superfluous hair
can include heredity factors, one's
constitution, glandular disorders,
or even the menopause. For these
reasons a medical evaluation is
recommended before treatment.
There are various methods for
the removal of superfluous hair -
not all recommended for facial
hair. These include tweezing,
cutting, waxing, shaving, abrasion
methods, depilatories and
electrolysis. All, except
electrolysis, are temporary.
Contact your local medical
society for a list of
dermatologists. If the one you
consult thinks that electrolysis is
{ndicated, he may perform it
himself or suggest a qualified
operator.
Have you a problem as a
mature woman, or with one? For
advice and help write to Margaret

on the Mature Woman, 3 West

Kay Loertscher
Collegiate
The qualities of a good teacher
number far and wide. Perhaps the
most important lies in a dedicated
love of learning. Such a passion
would sacrifice all other needs for
its fulfillment and all other
pleasures for its enjoyment. Kay
Loertscher, a 1964 graduate of
'Shelton High School, followed
such a path and became such a
teacher. She found her field in
high school through active
participation in the Geology Club
and Mountain Club and devoted
the past five years further
pursuing knowledge on this
subject.
Kay gave up a great deal to
earn her B.A. in education in
geology at Western Washington
State College. To meet the
necessary financial needs she
re n o unced all unnecessary
extra-curricular activities in order
to assume a part-time job in the
laboratory of the geology
department during the school
year and a full time job as
look-out for the state during the
summer.
What recreation Kay
maintained related directly to her
studies. She kept active in the

Canning Hints
Offered To Paper
Erma Pendergraft, of Shelton,
submitted several suggestions to
the Journal for the benefit of
those women in the process of
canning.
For plum jam mix in a dash of
cinnamon to achieve a similar
effect of cinnamon in apple pie.
In apple jelly a few red
cinnamon decor will add flavor
and color.
Diced orange in canned pears
will offer color and a new flavor.
