Let 'era eat wood
What's a poor steer to eat when feedlots can't afford the price of
grain? "Let 'era eat wood." That's the proposal of Dr. Irwin Dyer, a
Washington State University animal nutritionist, who has demonstrated
that wood and paper can be substituted for grain as the major source of
carbohydrates for cattle and sheep. Wood products converted into
livestcck feed can compete with high-cost grain, Dyer said. With barley
prices currently about $ t 20 a ton, Dyer believes wood products are on
the threshold of becoming a major new feed source.
Banned spray still on shelves
Consumers were warned today by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission that brands of aerosol spray adhesive previously banned by
the commission have been found on retail shelves in the Seattle area.
Three spray adhesives - "Foil Art Spray Adhesive" and "Scotch Brand
Spra-ment," both manufactured by the 3-M Company, St. Paul,
Minnesota; and "Krylon Spray Adhesive," manufactured by the Borden
Company, Columbus, Ohio, have been possibly linked to chromosome
breaks which could cause multiple birth defects. These products have
been banned and declared an imminent hazard by the consumer product
safety commission.
College costs on rise
In the 1()73-74 school year, basic charges in public colleges and
universities across the country will increase an average of some five per
cent, the Institute notes. In the last five years; tuition fees, room and
board charges have gone up by 26 per cent, according to a survey of
public colleges and universities and private residential colleges.
Fair art exhibit expanded
Pacific Northwest artists will again have a showplace for their talent
at the Western Washington Fair's see(rod juried art show, September
15-23, sponsored by Allied Arls of Tacoma. The show will offer both
professional and non-professional divisions, with three jurors for each
category. This year's show is being expanded to include sculpture and a
ceramic display and performing demonsltations by students.

('orreclions Center, was elected first vice prcsidenl of the American
Association of Wardens and Superintendents at the annual meeting of

County residents buy bonds
Sales of Umlcd States Savings Bonds in Mason ('ounty totalled
$13,144 in July, according to tt. C. James, county chairman. Total sales
this year amount to ~, I (~1,034.
Small part causes big trouble
A metal plate about the size of a billfold is the culprit in extensive
damage to a27,000-kil,watt generator for Cushman Dam No. 2.
Tacoma CityLight Superintendent J.D. Cockrell said investigation
revealed the plate was weakened by a hairline fracture during
manufacture. Generator vibrations eventually dislodged the plate, he
said, and it was magnetically drawn into the air gap of the machine,
where it was chopped into chunks winch hammered electrical
components and insulation m the ge||erah)r.
Unemployment set at 7.5%
Washington State's economy continued on an even keel in July with
the labor force showing a normal contraction and tire rate of seasonally
adjusted unemployment holding steady at 7.5 percent. Unemployment
dropped 12,800 in July as most students still unable to locate sunnner
work discontinued searching on an active basis. Of the 110,400
unemph)yed at mid-July, 59,200 had protection under the state, federal
employee, or ex-servicemen's insurance programs.
Audit uncovers irregularities
Seven major irregularities were found in an audit of the Teachers"
Retirement Syslem made by the State Audim|. This audit criticized the
System for not following certain slate laws and directives of regulatory
agencies, paying retirement disability benefits to members not eligible
for retirement, making incorrect payments to beneficiaries, over-paying
pension benefits, and overpayment of salaries to certain employees.
Other problems uncovered by the audit included failure to submit
financial and annual reports on time, providing erroneous information
Io its members, and needed improvements in accounting and cash
receipt controls. Cash receipts and disbursements procedures do not
meet government accounting principles requiring accrual accounting for
I lUSt funds.

HARSTINE - The Harstine
Community Hall will be the scene
of the grand finale of summer
season here on the Island. The
date of the Island's big annual
social and fund raising event of
the Community is Saturday,
September 1, 1973. The music
will get going along about 9 p.m.
and the group is the Walt Allen
Country-Western group from
Little Skokum.
Last Sunday the four
members of the Yates tribe plus
Carol Bengelsdorf and son John
and also Lisa's new friend, Polly
Campbell all hopped aboard the
Yates set of wheels and drove up
to see the Wynoochee Dam
dedication. Along with the usual
array of dignitaries and V.I.P.'s
there was a yummy salmon bake
prepared by the Quinault Indians,
as only Indians can prepare
salmon over open alder fires.
Another taste tingling teaser was
the hunks of deep fried bread.
After the speeches had become
history the grand finale was the
pressing of a button by
Congresswoman, Julia Butler
Hanson which opened one of the
sluice gates allowing water to gush
through the natural rock walls
below the dam in a very
spectacular fashion. Enroute to
the event wc traveled through
Matlock. Enroute home we drove
along the Wynoochee River
Valley down to Montesano which
was most enjoyable seeing the
numerous scenic farms that
border the road.
The four menlbers of the
Marvin Bengelsdorf family plus
Missy, Susie's horse arrived
Saturday morning to spend the
weekend. Susie and Rusty had a
great time Friday, one aboard
Missy and the other aboard a
ten-speed bike touring the Island.
Occasionally they would change
mounts for a time.
Visitors at the Dale Peugh
home for an overnight visit were
Joan and Steve Gabrielsen and
their three youngsters, Chris,
David and Darren. The young
family presently make their home
at Hayden Lake, Idaho. Steve is
the oldest son of Steig and Beulah
Gabrielsen former Islanders who
are presently living in Anacortes.
The young family was on their
summer vacation trip around the
Olympic Peninsula and made
Harstine an overnight stop. Prior
to arriving here they had made a
side trip over to Friday Harbor in
the San Juans.
Dave and Cheryl Waite
accompanied by close friends,
Janie and Clay Allen of Seattle
took a weekend camping jaunt up
to Lake Ozene over this past
weekend. While the two sets of
parents were out enjoying nature
the Grandmas and Grandpas, the
George Waites and the Camerons
of Picketing took care of the little
folks.
The two couples pitched
their tents at Lake Ozette and
then hiked out to the ocean beach
and then up on to the Indian
excavations aways north. While
Janie and Cheryl caught their
breath Dave and Clay made a tour
of Cannonball Island just a short
ways from short at the end of the
trail. All in all they had a great
time and Cheryl reports that
they've sure been bitten by the
"canrping bug."

Monday Maxine Waite
accompanied by her mom, Dot
Smith and Dot's cousin, Lillian
from Indiana spent the day on a
sightseeing drive prior to Lillian's
heading home later in the week.
After a day of sightseeing they
planned to have dinner with Dave
and Cheryl along with Bill
Bingham and his two small-fry
and Ed Waite and George.
Pauline and Ike Carlson ended
another summer vacation on
Thursday of last week. And there
was a bit of excitement as an
anti-climax, when Otis Dwyer
attempted to take his trailer out
which he had brought over for
Clara Carlson to stay in while she,
too, was up on vacation with the
other pair of Carlsons. One
pickup and even another car in
front, said "no way" as mother
nature showed her concern by
weeping like crazy. The paper
man with a four-wheel jeep came
or
to the rescue and the story had a
happy ending.
For the Carolson's many
Island friends this week will be a
chance to catch up on a bit of
sleep and rest missed for a couple
of weeks. It's always sad to see
the beach fires and songfests
come to an end, but the memories
linger on through the winter and
into the following summer as
friends and relatives eagerly
anticipate the Carlson's arrival
once again.
Wilbur and Doris Jacobson
arrived home this past weekend
following a two-week vacation,
The couple first headed for
Eugene, Oregon to see their two
daughters, Donna and Doug Marx
and family and Eileen and Geof
Meyer. They wanted to see Eileen
and Geof before the young couple
left for Minnesota to see Geof's
folks.
They returned to the Island
nlg
for one night to catch their breath
and check the garden before
pointing the pickup and camp
trailer north. Due to the Canadian
ferry strike they gave up a trip
over to Vancouver Island as they
had originally planned and went
up into the mainland portion of
British Columbia. They traveled
as far north as Kamloops before
turning back in the direction of
home. For the most part Doris
said the second week on their
vacation was a very enjoyable
scenic drive whereever they went.
They especially enjoyed the
North Cascade route going up.
Coming back they traveled
through EUensburg and Yakima
and chose Naches Pass rather
than the more popular White Pass.
Just prior to leaving they enjoyed
an overnight visit with relatives
from Vancouver, B.C., Mr. and
Mrs. Olaf Cedarburg accompanied
by her mother, Jula Praist
(Wilbur's aunt - a sister to his
father, Oscar) and Lenord Farm
visited overnight Thursday and
Friday.
Sunday visitors at the Gordon
Simmons home were five
members of the Rutherford
family from Raymond. Another
couple, Mr. and Mrs. John Millam,
also relative's of Gordon's mom,
Jessie from her second marriage,
dropped in for an afternoon visit.
