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 commenting on what a lovely queen she was, in past tense, of JANICE WITTENBERG will complete her duties as Mason County Forest Festival Queen at the end of this month. 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. ................... ' Lff " Wha s •, Cooknn ?i IA 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, BEEF EMPANADAS 2 T. butter or nucoa ½ C. chopped onions ¾ lb. ground beef 2 tomatoes 4 oz. can green chile peppers i tsp. salt (chopped fine) I bay leaf MARY SORUM travels the widths of the globe through her geographically orientated recipes.

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 Brookfield, Information Center on the Mature Woman, 3 West 57th Street, New York, N.Y. 10019. 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 Geology Club and College and con pleasure and Last ye conscient iousne' She secured grade in the District and now and money to of her hobbies. n u nn e r o u s a characteristic el seekers.

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. PATIO SC needed for neighbor's yours. 1 x2 inch across 2x4 center.
