Festival with a different twist, no
log rolling, but water sports
instead, including water fights.
I hear the teen club has
purchased and had installed a
slide on the raft off barbecue
island with the aid of Tammi
Kellogg who is still accepting
contributions at the Pro Shop and
St Andrews Drive, Shelton,

MATLOCK - This is Mason
County Fair week, August 17, 18
and 19. Matlock Grange will put a
booth in and Matlock and Agate
Granges together have a food
booth open to the public.
Ten ladies from Matlock
Ladies Club and two visitors
toured Hoquiam castle last week
Iclp
Wednesday. They all had droner
afterward at the Colonial House.
l,ater in the afternoon Mrs.
Robert Trenckman look Mrs. Lud
Rossmaier, Lisa Rossmaier, Mrs.
Edward Townsend, Mrs. Conda
Dick and Mrs. Elvin Hearing to
Ocean Shores t~ show them tire
new home of the Trenckmanns.
August 22 the Matlock Ladies
are prevalent. Do keep the liver
up high enough while it is
fermenting as to not poison pets,
and you will be surprised how
short a time it takes for the bee,,
to dewmr the liver and die, often
times taking some back to the
hive doing even a more thorough
job of ridding you of the pesty,
vindictive carnivorous apiaries.
We have a marvelous view
here from mother's home of tire
new million-dollar bridge across
the Spokane River. Wc are the last
street before the bridge, a huge
and awesome span, and on the
corner. The city park is just across
it. A marvel has happened as my
five-year-old has lost his fear of
drowning here and has learned to
swim. Out of determination and
necessity I would say, as we go
swimming every day.
It is very hot here. When you
are at 70, we are 92 and can't say
I don't miss my home and you all,
but will be home soon and want
to hear 'all the news.
Post I:alls was cited as the
biggest little city this year in
population growth as it went
fronl around our population of
6,000 to over 14.000 m one year.
I miss the beauty of tile
desolate wilderness thai was here
years ago on our last visit, myself.
The kids arc really enjoying the
vacation and show mental growth
with tile new adventure. Me. I'm
too old to grow and too fond of
house and home.
We took in an attraction up
here with grandpa's help that you
might like to take in if you are up
Cocur d'Alene way on vacation. It
is called tire Snake Pit and
features tire largest king snake in
captivity.
Remember a cot, pie of years
ago when Big Ben escaped from
his cagc and they called the entire
fire departnlent to replace him?
He is over 18 feel hmg now and as
ornery as ever. Also, there are

many other snakes, the cobras,
rattlers, dianlond backs, but our
fawmte was a rhinocerous iguana,
which looked like it has two large
bones m the forehead region like
a rhinoceros and bright almost
irridescent blue spines from neck
to tail.
He was scratching his window,
up on his hind legs and frightened
the children until tile curator told
them that she leads him about on
a leash and is as tame as a dog,
climbing the cage only ira desire to
play with the people.
THERE IS nothing more ftighttul
than
ignorance in action.
