We all have experienced exasperating incidents on the highways ~md elsewhere and wondered about the sanity of today's youth. Every newspaper carries stories about vandalism and rioting, most of which are .attributed to today's youth. Well, I want you to know that if the following stor;, ix typ- ical of the youth in your conulluu- ity you certainly have a reason Io bc proud. teeuage boys one wonld hope to meet. They gallently towed us right up to the hmching ramp and even helped my husband get tile boat loaded onto ore" trailer. We wele so grateful to those boys and knowing they had used gallons of gas we had them pump some of ores into their tank and gave them a small amomlt of mo- ney, wishing it could have been twice as much. They didn't have running lights and were concerned about getting hack in tile dark. We could have loaned them our bat- August 18 my husband, our twolery but they simply were not daughters, ages 6~.'., and 8, and wired for lights. We thanked them myself were camping at Belfairagain -rod headed for camp and State Park. We launchedour 16 warm clothing. foot outboard boat at the publicIt wasn't until today we discov- ramp south of tile park and wentered why our little motor wouldn't down the canal for a leism'ly boat work--bad gas! The same gas ride, picnic and swim. We 'had athose boys put in their tank. You very uice time, then about 6:30 p.m. we started back--in our wet aLfits. ~Ve soon discovered that our 6utboard was not at all well. It would give us a big lunge for- ward tllen cough and sputter, slow down and ahnost die. We finally made it to Taihuya when it (lied completely and simply would not start again. We try always to be prepared s) we started our little nlotor, which we have ill case ot trouble. It ran all of five minutes and also quit. There we were, adrift in the middle of the canal, my husband doing everything possible to get ns going again, the girls and I huddled in a blanket against the chill wind which had come up while we watched the sun slowly sinking in the western sky. TIONALLY ADVERTISED of Finest Quality C=:l Service on Those Hard-to-Get Parts Automotive Machine Shop simply can't imagine how terrible we have felt all day. Did the boys make it back al- right ? Did the bad gas foul their motor or did it mix together ? Did the Coast Guard t,ick them up for not having running lights'? Were their parents worried frantic by the time they arrived home? If only we'd have thought to get their names--but one more snafu of the day-we didn't. Per- haps we'll ~)ever know the answer to these questions but aL least I hope this letter will let them know we are truly grateful for their help and very concerned about their return home that night. Sincerely, Mrs. Warren Elsey 22434 16th Ave. South Des Moines, Washington SMALL WORD, BIG IMPACT There is a short., two letter word that is a great hindrance to salva- tion. The tongue is a small mem- ber, but it can do much damage; in the way it is used. This word is often spoken in the following man- ner, and it packs the power of sa- tan behind it, which only tile pow- er uf the Holy Spirit can break and bring about redemption for us. This word is "No". "No, I'm not interested." "No, I never go to church." "No, I have to give up too much." ']?here are many other ways of saying the word that is a detri- ment to the soul. Our souls are more in prison than our bodies, and when the soul is set free, we are free indeed. We either accept or reject Christ as our own pers()nal ~aviour. There is no middle grotmd, no compromise, and eternity is forever and for- ever. Think about it, dear. ones. Give it a lot of serious thought and think about it now. Don't wait un- OPen 8:30 5:30 Monday thru Saturday AU 0 PARTS, IHC. St. Phone 426-3351 salvation m~til we believe and say "Yes" to the Lord. For his word is beyond all shadow of a doubt that we all must be born again. This means believing that Christ died O1% the cross to save US fron~ our sins, and we need to accept him as our own personal Saviour. There is no other way but ti~e way he has I)ointcd Otlt t0 US. Christ arose from the dead and is now at the rigtit hand of God interceding for us. St. John 3:16.

Right now I am in Chu Sai, Viet- Nam, with the ]st battalion 7th Marines. Wc have been here about a month and it looks like we'll he hele for a long time, I suppose you know about that big battle we had over here two or three weeks ago. That was us. Personnally I haven't so much as seen a VC yet except for a few prisoners. Are they a pathetic bunch ! We were expecting a big Viet Cong push through our position when we first arrived because it was the anniversary of the French defeat at Dien Biem Phu but it never came. $o far no one in my outfit has shot another marine. I believe this is some kind of a record. The weather has been mostly hot and dry, that is all except the last few days. Lately it has been hot and wet. It's really good for our rifles. You can sit and watch the rust form. We are all set in now and it has been quiet the last week or so. Of course tile artillery is blasting away at night but we are so used to it that it doesn't bother any- one. Once in a while a sentry will cut loose at a bush or shadow, but other than that nothing happens. Well, have to knock off now. Oh yeah, the big thing tllat bothers us over here is the attitude of the civilians back stateside. Es- pecially the college students. Needless to say it doesn't really make us too happy to hear about the students of such and such a university talcing up a collection to send to the VC so that they can buy gm~s to shoot us with. So long for now. Yours truly, Bruce Crawford t.il tomorrow, for tomorrow may~%unty never come.

It means to give and take, and it stands for living together in peace. Just some weeks ago I was in Washington D.C. together with nearly 3,000 students from dif.. ferent parts of tl~e worhl who all had spent ttle past year some- where in the United States. It was tile annual American Field Service .... midway--five days of getting to know each other, meeting and parttng: I have never seen so many tears at one time. They were five days of sharing and learning and laughing; a round-up of a year tllat to the majority of us will stand as "that year". NOW WE ARE scattered again, all over this earth, and for most of us "the same old song and dance" has started. For me school started Aug. 18. It is keeping me busy, but in be.. tween French conjugations and ancient Norse history my thoughts skip so easily across the Atlantic Ocean, all across the American continent, and to a little town way on the west coast. A town known for its Santa Claus and its num- erous taverns and gas stations. To me a town full of friends and friendly people, my second home- town I could say. During the year I spent in Shel- ton I learned quite a few things, for one thing, that no one should live alone, people need e~ch other. .It was hard to leave the people in Shelton I have grown fond of, a year is such a short, yet long time. However, an end is always a beginning, and this year has made me realize how many kinds~ of life there are to be livSd. The world now ,seems both smaller and wider, more realistic and more enticing. WHEN I LEI~"I' Shelton June 24 it was for a four-week tour of the U.S., together with 33 other A.F.S.'ers who had spent the year in Washington, and two chaper- ones from tile U.W. To say the least, it was great! We had over- night stops in Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and at the end five days in New York and ['ive days in Washington D.C. Words cannot describe our trip and our experiences. We' saw a vast, great country and met Am- ericans of all kinds and qualities. Christian Science Services Are Set we stayed a couple of days, usual- ly in smal,ler towns, once I was as lucky to be put in a family with five boys. The people in the communities arranged picnics (a national custom ?), barbecues, dan- ces, splash-parlies and tours of among other things a lumber mill!, a work-house outside Mimlcapolis and an iuternational music caml) oil the Canadian border. Talent shows were frequent. Have you ever seen Thai bating (they use their feet) or heard "Are Yt)u Sleeping, Brolher John?" sung in thirteen different languages? TIlE TRIP was a wonderful ex- perience, and it was hard to believe that it was over when we left New York on a S.A.S. jet plane the 26tb of July. In six mid a half hours we were in Norway, Garde- moen, outside Oslo, shivering in our thin smnmer c|otbes, shouting "hurra" and "welcome home" to each other and taking deep breaths of cool, clean morning air. It was as if Oslo had shrtmk af- ter Minneapolis, Chicago and New York. Home in Stavanger every- thing seemed pretty nmch the same. It was great seeing my fa- mily again, and my friends. The latters were ahnost disappointed because I was not Americanized. The thought of settling down was a bit hard to accept at first. It goes better now. The Norwegian I :mountains are very pretty m fall and in two years I will probably be out somewhere again. I wish I could have been in Shelton to welcome Nadia from Egypt. By the end of the year I am sure you are as patriotic Washingtonian as I am. It is the greatest of all the states I have been in. And again I want to thank all the Shelton people, including A.F.S. workers, the students and the faculty of Shelton High who made it possible for me to spend this year in Shelton. It was too little to be spotted on the map when I first looked for it, but by now it has at least got a big spot in my heart. Marit Johanne Vaula Stavanger, Norway Sept. 6, 1965 GREETINGS FROM MARIT'S PARENTS Let it be said at once that we, Marit's parents, her brothers and sisters are full of gratitude for all the kindness and attention that Marit was showed during the year she spent in your town. There is so much and so many things to thank for and so many persons we would like to thank, that it is impossible to reach each one in- dividually. Therefore we want to thank you all, adults and child- ren, students and teachers and parents all at once in this way. However, two families we v(ant to mention by flame, Maranvilles and Quimbya.
