HarStine:
Large group gathers
By CARMEN YATES
This past holiday weekend,
Labor Day, which marks the end
of the summer season each year,
Glaserville at Ballow was the
scene of a gigantic reunion for
better than three long days.
Somewhere between 140 and
150 pieces of humanity were on
hand for the get-to-gether. Most
of all the vacant spots in the
area were occupied by campers,
trailers, tents or what-have-you.
In fact, the pastures were so
crowded by the human invasion
that there wasn't nary enough
room for any variety of
livestock. Luckily for them (the
critters) none presently call
Glaserville home.
Three heaping pickup loads
of firewood kept the huge
bonfire going continuously for
three days and three nights. Even
the extremely early inclement
fall-type weather couldn't
dampen the spirits of the huge
group of family and friends; a
good share of whom attended
the annual Labor Day dance
Saturday night in the Harstine
Community Hall.
Guests hailed from Tacoma,
Seattle, Olympia and way points
in the eastern side of the state.
They also came from Idaho and
various California cities.
Everyone furnished jillions of
pounds of food. Those from
eastern Washington 'brought
spuds, corn and onions in fifty
and one hundred pound sacks.
Steamer clams were furnished by
the Dalmans from Kamilche.
Tom Farrell trolled Case Inlet
and brought back three gorgeous
salmon for the feast(s). A
rotisserie fashioned from an old
milk separator that performed in
that capacity for many a long
year before its conversion to a
hand-cranked rotisserie and in
more recent years has seen
progress in the form of an
electric motor, did yeoman duty
barbecueing the whole lamb and
pig at the festivities. Still other
guests brought a huge ham and
turkey already cooked. Bud
Glaser provided bushels of
oysters for barbecueing, also.
Sunday night music was
provided for dancing by the
Barry Bailey Band from Shelton.
Barry's wife is the former Sandy
Glaser, daughter of Dick and
• Bonnie Glaser of Shelton.
Incidentally, Barry has personally
written two songs about Harstine
Island.
Gen Glaser's brother, Fred
Wagner, and his wife, Carolyn,
made their very first trip up to
the Pacific Northwest from Los
Angeles to attend the big
reunion. Another brother,
Grover, and his wife, Lois,
became permanent islanders
about two months ago having
moved a mobile home in above
Bud and Gen's Ballow home.
Two very special guests
included the priest, Father Grub
from St. Martin's and Sister,
Lucille Noxtine of Tacoma who
is Celia Glaser's second cousin.
Sister Lucille's father (Celia's
uncle) once owned most of what
i presently known as
"Glaserville" by island folk.
Nearly sixty years ago Celia and
her husband the late Hugo
Glaser, purchased the land now
owned by many of the Glaser
clan.
Sunday morning Father Grub
performed a special "mass"
attended by at least two.thirds
of the members of the reunion
in front of Celia's house.
(Somehow one priest driving one
car out to bring the church to
100 plus people should please all
the conservationists in the
reading audience, in place of the
dozens of cars it would have
taken the other way around.
In the past week or so, the
island has acquired some new
residents and together with some
old ones a minor game of
"musical chairs" has taken place,
housewise. The new islanders are
Terrance Moore and his wife,
Charmaine, and their three
children of Puyallup have
purchased the home owned by
Beula Browning and her late
husband, Wayne, on Sunset Hill.
Terry was recently named as
assistant manager of the Shelton
branch of the Seattle First
National Bank. Beula in turn
bought Red and Goldie Weber's
modular home at Hartstene
Pointe. And the Webers are
currently renting the mobile
home owned by John and Alice
Budd pending future plans if and
when and where to rebuild. That
decision will probably be delayed
until next spring at least.
For the past week or two,
neighbors of Bill and Grace
Williams may have wondered if
they might be starting a Harstine
I1 version of "Northwest Trek."
Their first acquisition was a pair
of geese, shortly followed by a
very pregnant small mare all
without any request. Actually
the animals "found" them. Just
as yours truly was about to ask
if anyone else had any critters to
donate (just kidding), the owners
discovered where their missing
animals have been "mooching"
for a week or so and claimed
them. The owners turned out to
be the Williams new neighbors,
the Terry Moores just down the
road.
Gals, in case it's slipped your
mind since last week, today is
the first meeting since the
summer recess of the Harstine
Women's Club. So toss some
goodies in a brown bag and head
for Hartstene Pointe. And if "el
sol" is smiling, grab a swimming
suit and enjoy a "dip" after the
meeting in the pool.
This year's annual Labor Day
dance saw a last minute change
in the music department. Seems
one of Art Nicklaus' sons had to
return to college earlier than he
had anticipated, thus the
"Country Nicks" were unable to
appear for the Labor Day dance
as scheduled. The musical group
that filled in for them was the
same trio that played for the

announced that a new
foodhandier class format was
introduced the first week in July
to replace the traditional

The class consists of a film
strip, a brief lecture and a short
quiz with the session lasting not
more than an hour.
The testing location in

reported erroneously, that the
name of the musical group was
named "Lovin' Sunshine."
Actually, the name of the group
is "High Country" and they are
from Roy.
A .huge crowd was on hand
for the last big event of the
summer. Our plainclothes deputy
was overhead to say, "I never
saw so many people pay $2.50
to stand around outside the
building and imbibe in liquid
refreshments. Whatever, the hall
will be the benefactor and
additional improvements will
now be possible.
The community club is also
resuming its regular meeting this
Friday evening following a
summer recess. For this first
meeting a potluck supper has
been scheduled at 6:30 p.m.
followed by a short business
meeting. Afterwards it will be
fun and games. So bring the
whole family for an evening of
good food and fun.
Recently Jack Miner
accompanied by his brother,
Walley, from Lakewood (near
Tacoma) enjoyed a fabulous
"dream fishing trip." The two
brothers along with four other
guys flew to Alaska, putting
down on Kodiak Island. It
wasn't until the group landed
that Jack learned that one of his
fellow fishing companions-to-be,
was George Valley of Shdton.
George was accompanied by a
brother-in-law from Spokane.
After landing, the group of six
men boarded a 90-foot former
crab boat for an eight day
fishing jaunt off the coast of
Afognak Island, just north of
Kodiak Island. The group
enjoyed a "fishing dream" come
true; catching their limits on all
beautiful silver salmon. Jack and
Wally had all of their fish frozen
to bring home, except one
beauty, apiece which they
brought back to enjoy fresh.
Upon Jack's return home,
friends from Santa Cruz,
California dropped in for a visit
enroute on an extended trip to
the eastern portion of the states.
The last two weeks of
August, Mary and Lee Campbell
and daughter, Polly, took their
new boat which was built in Port
Townsend on a "shakedown"
cruise, to the Canadian San Juans.
With the exception of a few
rocks that "got in the way" and
an unplanned "dip" by Mary
when she was busy working on
the exterior of the craft at the
dock, the Campbells described
this year's boating vacation as
pretty "uneventful." Add to the
foregoing, that the weather left a
great deal to be desired for a
summer vacation, the Campbells
are looking forward to bigger
and better things next year.
A couple of weeks ago
following the Mason County
Fair, I reported on the entries
which I knew about. I also
offered my apologies to anyone
that I had slighted,
unintentionally. Thus after
reading the "What's Cooking
Column" in the Journal the
week following the fair, your
reporter felt about "knee-high"
to a knat. My only defense being
that I sure didn't see Jane
Holden's handy work or I sure
would have recognized all her
beautiful entries. Thus I am most
happy that Jane's contributions
to the fair were well covered
elsewhere in the Journal
complete with pictures. Having
been there and thoroughly
enjoyed a "tour" of Jane and
John Holden's home, I most
sincerely concur that the Holden
home is a veritible museum of
beautiful handcrafted artwork.
Sorry Jane, that I missed seeing
your entries but I am delighted
that they didn't go unnoticed by
the other members of the
Journal press.

Discards can provide
many houseplants
You could spend a fortune
on exotic houseplants, lacey
ferns, roaming vines and
miniature palm trees, or, you
could get them for free, from
your own kitchen scraps, says
county agent James Freed. Sweet
potatoes produce vine.like stems,
similar to rhododendrons. These
grow easily; put a sweet potato
into a container of water with
the top third sticking out,
exposed to air. A beautiful vine
with several stems will grow and
can be trained onto a stake or
small trellis.
Pineapples also can produce
attractive houseplants. Cut off
the green leaves, leave about
one-inch of the solid fruit
attached. Trim the fruit back
around the edges to create a
small triangular piece of core.
Then, put the top leafy section,
with the fruit core attached, into
moist sand or water with the
leaves exposed to air. When roots
begin to develop at the base of
the plant, cover the leaves with a
plastic bag for about three
weeks. Then, transplant it into a
larger pot. The pineapple will
grow into a cactus-like plant. It
thrives on plenty of sunlight and
needs to be kept well-watered,
says Freed.
Citrus trees? Start from
seeds. Plant 'grapefruit, orange,
lemon or tangerine seeds as soon
as you take them out of the
fruit. Put them in a soil mixture
containing about one-half peat
moss. Keep the soil damp; make
sure the pot gets only indirect
sunlight. After the small trees
begin to grow larger, give them
plenty of sunlight, the county
agent advises.
Dwarf-size avocado trees
grow easily. After you eat the
avocado fruit, clean the large
seed with water. Put it in water,
using toothpicks to hold about
the top third in the air. Always
keep the pointed end of the seed
up. Don't worry. The avocado
seed will take a month or two
before it sprouts. After roots and
small leaves begin to develop
transplant it into soil. It, too,
needs indirect sunlight; then
watch it grow. Pinch off the top
of the plant when it is about
eight inches tall to produce a
low, bushy form, says Freed.
For a large mound of green
growth, put lettuce seeds into
the holes of a wet sponge, or
into soil. The young plants will
form a ball-like mass of green
mffled foliage. If you keep it
moist and let it go for awhile,
you may even have a tender crop
of lettuce to eat, he said.
Try using your imaginatio
with houseplants. Children ofte
love to grow plants from seeds
or kitchen scraps, as do many
adults. And if early attempts fail
try different methods, Freed
says.
