lnterestin[ Trip; Tips Given
by Virginia Allison
LILLIWAUP -- Mid-September
may still not be too late for a
trip to the Hoh Rain Forest in
Olympic National Park. As wide-
ly known as Hurricane Ridge it
is the place where the principal
rain forest trees. Western Hem-
lock and Sitka Spruce. have at-
tained their largest size. encour-
aged by mild climate and 130 to
150 inches of rainfall a year.
Allow a couple Of ,days to.fully
enjoy this loop trip, now gay with
Vine Maple turning red. The only
ime you need leave Route No. 101
is at the Hoh River road sign
where you travel 19 miles inland
over a good surfaced road to rain
forest headquarters. Pick up the
guide booklet, at "gain Forest
Nature Trail" at the spot where
you register and do take that
easy three quarters mile trail
)ast the lettered posts where the
booklet e xplains the meaning of
what you are looking at. I Other-
wise you wilt miss too much).
It probably isn't the size of any
tree you will remember the longest
but the "nurse" trees and the
weird hanging mosses. The tiny
seeds of the conifers, unable to
btain rooting on the forest floor
o thickly covered with mosses and
Oxalis clover, sprout readily from
moist rotting h)gs, known as
"Nurse" trees. Eventually sapling
roots embrace the decaying logs,
absorbing nourishment from them
until the am'so log crumbles com-
pletely away, leaving tree roots
at various heights in the air.
The Hall of Mosses. a grove o
moss draped tree their branches
touching overhead displays many
varieties of moss; not parasites
as you might expect, but epiphytes
manufacturing their own food not
robbing the trees upon which they
grow.
Take along fruit and sandwich-
es as eating places are hard to
'find betwee Quests, the Rain For-
est and Forks. Travelling north
from Hoquiam we found Lake
Quinault Resort, two miles off the
highway beyond Amanda Pak, or
the Lodge on Quinault Lake con-
venient over,night stopping places.
May sunny days be your good
luck on this trip, as they were ours
immediately following Labor Day.
Friends and relatives gathered
far and near on Sept. 6 at
the L. K. Webb residence on the
Hamma Hamma to greet Mrs. AI-
lie Ahl upon the occasmon of her
96th birthday. In perfect fall wea-
ther the Open House event turn-
ed into a garden party where Mrs.
Ahl looking radiantly happy re-
ceived congratulations and good
wishes from a large gathering o£
people.
These birthday parties which
started a number of years ago in
the immediate neighborhood have
grown with the years into an an-
nual social event of widely anti-
cipated enjoyment; where old
friends and neighbors eagerly
greet one another and exchange
current news.
WEARING AN ORCHID Mrs.
Ahl, seated in a walnut rocker on
the lawn, the center of attention,
appeared not to tire in the slight-
est. Being so near the century
mark she plans by continuing her
daily walks to reach one hundred,
and only after that:to commence
counting her years. So far as we
know her closest rival in the age
race on Hood Canal is Mrs. tansy
of Union, mother of Mrs. Vesta
Lney Mann, who celebnated her
94th birthday Aug. 1.
Mrs. H. A. Shaffer recently ar-
rived from Minneapolis to spend

home began to take the shape ana
form he had imagined. By the time
was ready to live in Mr. DreSs
recovered his health and was
able to return to his activities
and to spend scores of weekends
at the spot that had restored his
energy and Well being.
Here, over Labor Day, Mrs.
Shaffer entertained her brother
and sister-inqaw Mr. and Mrs.
Victor Robinson of Rremerton and
her brother Plerpont Robinson or
Seattle.
Among late summer visitors at
the Pat McGrady home were Mr.
and Mrs. Reidar Nielsen, Mr. aria
Mrs. Byron Wiase, both couples

the John Robinson cabin on Lilli-
waup Creek. Mrs. Morris, former-
ly Sharon Robinson, was busy
making calls to introduce infant
daughter Rebecca Elizabeth to her
Hood Canal relatives.
Mrs. Frank Robinson has en-
joyed the experience of golfing

ters: Mrs. John Cairo, Mrs. H. A.

vention in Seattle were Mrs.
George Moake of Eldon Mrs. Ev-
l elyn Nicholson of Hoodsport ana
Mrs. Dorothy Kelsey of Union.
The Vomens Auxiliary held its
sessions in the Opera House on
the World's Fair Grounds. The la-
dies made a point of riding the
monorail again, finding only one
car now in .operation; of revisiting
the Space Needle for another long
look at the city and harbor of Se-
attle under the spell of night il-
luraination, and took it an evening
performance of the Pageant ot
Drums..
Hood Canal Garden Club held
its first meeting of the official
year Sept-. 5 at the Potlatch Club
house. Shelton members of .the
Garden Club were in charge of dec-
orations, ably guided by Mrs.
Maude Crosby. The tables fea-
tured red Sara Bands roses burn-
ink bush and ageratum. Room
decorations were arrangements o£
Gold Band Lillies and white Mag-
nolias; many of the flowers from
Mrs. Crosby's well known garden
in ShelLon.
The luncheon was enjoyed by
a congenial but small group, dis-
appointed that the fine weather
had conspired to keep so many
members otherwise occupied. Mrs.
Ix)is Pierce, president of the Gard-
en Club. stated that lacking a
quorum no business haft been
transacted that morning and that
they had decided to postpone the
showing of the Emil Lauber flow-
er and garden slides until a larger
audience could be present.
Following the luncheon the
group drove over to view the Bish-
opbrook gardens, adjacent to AI-
derbrook Manor, where tuberous
begonias late in .blooming this year,
were in their prime. The perfection
of lawns, shrubbery and rock gard-
en were indeed a credit to the
knowledge and loving care be-
stowed upon them by Harry Maw-
son, gardener at Bishopbrook for
a dozen years.
The next meeting will feature
a plant and bulb .,role Oct. 3. All
meetings of the Garden Club this
year will be held at the Potlatch
club house, owing to the gener-
osity of an anonymous friend.
"You might add" stated Mrs. Pier-
ce "that this clubhouse, attractive,
modern and fully equipped, is
available for rentals; arrangements
for which nmy be made through
Mrs. Blanche Calahan of Hoods-
port."

by trade, conditioned throughout
his 1 ife to the climate and climb-

fast becoming mountain wise.
"I wish some local store would
stock dehydrated foods catering
to campers and advertise the fact
each summer. "Said Mr. Ham-
baugh. Frank makes use of dehy-

meats, and knows how to reduce
a pack to bare essentials.
