Curt Mae0mber appealed for
support of a proposal to establish
a yearly safety week in Belfair; a
representative showed a rough
draft of the map of this area
which his firm is scheduled to
print later in the year and Mrs.
Flossie Cady gave thumbnail
sketches comparfng Belfair's
businesses with their counterparts
in Heist, Belgium, where she spent
a month this summer.
It was Chamber of Commerce
night in Belfair and members had
enjoyed a dinner of fried geoduck
steaks which had been donated by
Dan Ewart to be served to
Chamber members.
Macomber had spoken to
representatives of several
"sa fe t y-oriented" organizations
before attending the meeting and
reported that all were in favor of
sponsoring a safety week. The
local fire department, the Red
Cross, the State Patrol, the
Sheriff's department .and Pack
Rats would all be asked to show
equipment and give tips on safety.
Macomber was asked to work out
his plans in more detail and return
next month.
Members of the Chamber
approved the plans for the map of
the North Mason section of Hood
Canal which will be geared for
tourists. Ad space is still being
sold to defray the cost of the
maps which will be given free to
residents or tourists.
In a brief account of,her stay
in Belgium, Mrs. Cady compared
businesses in Heist (pronounced
Ayst) with local businesses
offering the same services. Heist is
a seacoast town, filled in a short
two-month summer season with
tourists so it has that much in
common with Belfair. But
strangers coming to the town are
put up in private homes; all the
townspeople rent one or more
rooms in the summer since there
are no State parks nearby~ Clerks
in the shops have to be bilingual,
many speaking several dialects of
the native Flemish, French, Dutch
and English.
There's no supermarket in
Heist; instead there are many
small shops, each selling one
thing. For fish one goes to the
fish store, for meat to the meat
store, for produce to a vegetable
store. Even purses and shoes have
separate stores instead of being
combined as they are in this
country. The pharmacy sells only
medicine, no cosmetics or comic
books. However, the hardware
store did have a large variety of
merchandise just like Belfair's
local store.
Some postcards picturing the
dikes which have been built along
the shoreline were passed around.
Mrs. Cady said that pictures
painted by artists who had set up
easels on the dikes were raffled
off among the spectators who had
watched the pictures being
painted. In the summertime the
dikes are covered by families
sunning themselves and when the
tide comes in, instead of moving
back as Belfairites do, they just
make a little mud dike around
their spot and let the water go
around them while they continue
to sit and sunbathe. She said the
huge dike which protects them
from the sea must make them
"think dikes."
Many of the shops in Heist are
hard to recognize because they
took just like homes. Usually the
front is devoted to business and
the family lives in back. A
member of the family waits on
the customers, sometimes getting
up from the dinner table in the
back quarters to come out front.
Since their summer season is so
short the shops stay open late,
usually having shutters drawn in
front when they finally close.
MORALE IN TWO WARDS at Madigan Hospital was raised
last Thursday when Emily Meyer of South Shore paid a visit
to servicemen as part of her job as State Queen of the
USO-GSO. (See Huckleberry Friend column.)

The North Mason Bulldogs
opened their 1971 grid campaign
on a sour note last Friday, as they
traveled to Fort Lewis to play the
Laughbon Panthers. When the
final buzzer sounded, the score
read 6-0 in favor of the Panthers.
North Mason, being somewhat
short-handed, only suited up 16
players for the game. Although a
lack of man-power, the majority
of the team are lettermen.
The game saw many penalties,
and quite a few mistakes, with
both teams showing their rusty
parts. The game's only score came
on a costly mistake, a pitchout
from junior quarterback Dave
Dirksen to fullback Don Havens
that got away into the hands of
an alert defensive player who
proceeded to take the ball 45
yards into the end zone. The try
for the extra point failed as
Laughbon attempted to run an
end sweep.
The bright spot for the
Bulldogs was their defense. Led
by seniors Mike Dillenburg and A1
Baselt, along with junior Jack
Johnson, they held the Panthers
to only 31 yards total offense in
the game.
Next on the schedule is
Vashon, the Bulldog's first league
game. After an idle week, North
Mason will travel to play their
arch-rivals on September 24.

SPEAKER TAKEN
A speaker was reported stolen
from a car in the Belfair area
September 6 according to a
deputy-of the Sheriff's local
office.
GETTING IN SHAPE for entry in the November marathon race set in
Seattle keeps Ted Johnson, 16, (left) and his Counselor at Mission Creek
Youth Camp, Dick Parker, running eight miles every night. The Camp dog,
Charlie Brown, keeps them company.
"I just like to run."
That was the reason given by
Ted Johnson, 16-year old resident
of Mission Creek Youth Camp
when he applied for admission to
a jogging class scheduled by
Counselor Dick Parker. Ted had
never participated in track events
in school; he said his mother
couldn't afford the special shoes
and clothes nor the insurance fees
required for sports participation,
but his enthusiasm for running
caught the attention of Parker
and gave Ted a new interest in
life.
Now, on the days when
Parker is on duty at the Camp,
the pair can be seen each evening,
accompanied by the Camp dog,
Charlie Brown, running an
eight-mile course from the camp
to Tiger Lake, around the Lake
and back to camp.
And it's not all for fun. If
Parker's hopes are attained, he
will sonn secure a membership
card for Ted in the A.A.U.
(Amateur Athletic Union) and the
couple will journey to Seattle
early in November to compete in
~~ a marathon, running 26 miles and
385 yards. AS far as Parker
knows, if Ted does enter the race,

CR 5-6681 BELFAIR , institution.
They don't expect to win;
they just hope to be able to run

out along the way.
Parker entered his first
marathon last February in
Seaside, Ore. when a
brother-in-law cha!lenged him to
try running that distance. He only
spent two days training for it by
12-mile runs down North Shore,
but he made it to the end, coming
in 179th out of about 450 entries.
He thinks over half didn't

increase their nightly runs to 16
miles, with someone furnishing
some liquid refreshment
somewhere along the route. In the
actual marathon, stands are set up
every five .miles to furnish water,
chocolate milk or juices.
Ted's mother plans to travel
from Tacoma to Seattle on the
day of the race to stand on the
sidelines and cheer as her son goes
by. Meanwhile, back at the Camp,
Charlie Brown and the boys will
be waiting to hear how their two
friends fare in the big race.
For those who like to collect
odd bits of information:
Long, long ago, according to
Parker, a soldier in one of the
Greek wars ran the 25 miles from
the battlefield to his home-town,
Marathon, Greece, to announce
their victory. Upon reaching the
town, he had only enough breath
left to shout "We wont.'' when he
toppled over dead from
exhaustion. Which is where the
name marathon for long distance
races originated.
So how come the course is
not 25 miles long? ACcording to
Parker, it was until sometime in
the 1930's when the King and
Queen of England wanted to see
both the start and finish of the
Commonwealth marathon and the
course had to be lengthened to
accomodate them. The 26 miles
and 385 yards were the
measurements of the lengthened
course, and this is the length they
have remained ever since.
