The Grapeview School
Mothers' Club held its first meeting
of the year September 8 in the
school lunch room. The meeting
was called to order by President
Linda Hardie, and plans were made
to have a "welcome" coffee party
for the new mothers in the school•
Nancy Meyer and Pattie Pattitt are
chairmen of the "Welcome Party"
which will be held at the home of
Mrs. Meyer, September 16, from
10:30 to 11:30. A suggestion was
made to the teachers that the
children make the invitations so
66 different and original
invitations hopefully made it
home to the mothers.
I have two corrections for last
week's column. Mr. Zehe told me
there are 66 children in the school
(just think of that), and our cook
Mrs. Hanson will start cooking
later as she had an operation on
her hands and is convalescing at
home. Mr. Henry Gatlin is busy in
the school kitchen making hot
rolls and lunches for the children.
Mr. Zehe announced that
"Fair Day" would be September
21 with the children going to the
Puyallup Fair by bus. Free tickets
will be provided for them. A
request is made for mothers to go
and help keep the children
together. At least twelve mothers
are necessary; fathers are welcome
too. It will be necessary for the
parents to go to the fair by
private car and usually the
mothers meet at the school and
form a car pool. The school bus
will leave shortly after 9 and will
return so the children will arrive
home at the regular time.
Best wishes to Mr. and Mrs.
James McGuire who will be
celebrating their fifty-fifth
wedding anniversary soon.
The Sarah Eckert Guild will
hold its first regular meeting of
the season at 11 a.m. Thursday,
September 16, at the Grapeview
Firehall. The hostesses will be
Mrs. A. J. Hicks and Mrs. Odell
Presley.
New officers for the year are
Mrs. Paul Holladay, president;
Mrs. Henry Person, vice-president;
Mrs. C. E. Carter, Treasurer;
Secretary is Mrs. R. Weymouth;
Mart Chairmen are Mrs. Curtis
Bell and Mrs. Margaret Kochanski,
and sunshine chairman is Mrs.
Vern Jackson. Preparations have
been started for the "Country
Store" to be held in November.
Two interesting visitors at the
Milner's home last week were
Maarten Schalii and Ate
Nieuwenhuis, college students
from the Netherlands who have
been hitchhiking through the
United States. Language has not
been a problem for them as they
speak English easily (besides four
other languages). They did not
enjoy the southern states so much
but are very enthusiastic about
the state of Washington. Maarten
has gone on to Alaska -
hopefully he will also have a good
impression of that state but Ate
had to return to Holland as his
school is starting. The young men
were introduced to the Milner
family by Ed Drouin, of
Bremerton, who met them on a
trip he made to Europe last fall.
Ed, a senior at Ellensburg, really
must have the wanderlust for he
and a friend have just left to
hitchhike in South America.
Debbie Milner, who has been
working this summer, is now
taking a vacation trip to Canada
before entering college in
Ellensburg this fall.
Other college students who
have finished with summer jobs
and are returning to Washington
State University are Joel Zehe.
Art Nicklaus, Les Okonek.
Hornets made short work of a
Labor Day vacation of a young
couple who recently bought a lot
at Orchard Beach and came out to
spend a few days. The car was all
packed with camping equipment
and a canoe on top, the wife was
standing in the driveway to direct
the parking, when the car ran over
a hornet's nest and they blamed
her and really worked her over
She was stung so many times they
just backed the car out and drove
back to Renton to take her to the
doctor.
This year the hornets have
been a real problem for the stings
have caused severe infections.
Roger was stung on the toe and
his whole foot and leg puffed up
and it was necessary to take him
in for treatment. Just a week later
he was stung again and back to
the doctor we went for more
treatment.
Mr. and Mrs. Eacrett's second
son, Ken, and his wife Judy, and
four children were visitors at the
Eacrett beach home on Stretch
Island. The children Mark, Jill,
Scott and Schyler enjoyed the
boating and swimming while
Mother attended a class reunion
in Shelton. The family enjoyed
three days with Ken's parents and
then three days with Judy's
parents in Shelton, then they
went to Oak Harbor to visit Bob
and family. They have lived in
Corona California for several
years.
Red Smith and family have
closed their summer home and
have returned to their home in
Oregon. Red is a coach at Oregon
State University. The Smith
children, Joyce, Gary and Shanon
have enjoyed many summers on
Stretch Island.
Daisy Bush, a summer
resident of Stretch Island, is
enjoying a visit with her
granddaughter who will be
returning to her California home
soon.

Finders - Keepers is the old
phrase that Mrs. Bonnie
Slettedahl goes by and she's
wondering if the finders of one of
her children's White Stag ski
would like to come and get the
other one.
The lost ski blew off the dock
during a windstorm and hopefully
someone may have found it.
However, one ski out of a pair
isn't doing anyone any good. The
interested finder may contact the
Slettedahls at Star Rt. 1 Box 286,
Union which is about three and a
half miles on the Belfair side of
Alderbrook.
Mr. Kay Thompson was
planning to spend his birthday on
Sept. 5 with a quiet family
dinner. However two surprise
guests from Chicago, Ester
Ladbetter and Ellen Nedar, and
Mr. Lyle Thompson from Port
Orchard, dropped by with plans
for a very happy surprise birthday
dinner at Lannings in Hoodsport.
Birthday wishes go to Tom
Goddard who will be celebrating
with a family dinner on Sept.
16th.
We welcome Chuck and Judy
Manke and their three children to
the canal area. They spent this
summer building a summer house
on their lot near Twanoh Falls.
The Manke family live in Shelton.
Mr. Sam Allen was recently
released from the Shelton
Hospital after a week-long stay.
He's home and feeling fine for his
95 years!
We extend sympathy to the
Wayne Allen family and Mr. Sam
Allen with the recent loss of his
brother, Mr. Roy Allen, from Port
Orchard.
Young David Meyer who is
now 12, or so his family thought,
just received a wallet-size copy of
his birth certificate giving his
birth date as October 31, 1848
which makes him a grand 122
years old! Our family often
wondered who that funny little
old man was who knocked on our
door on Halloween night. It's the
only day of the year the true
David Meyer can be seen!
(Editor's note: I wonder how far
he'd get at the local liquor store
with his authentic ID.)

Friends and neighbors of Mr•
and Mrs. Alex Okonek of
Grapeview joined members of
their family in celebration of the
couple's Golden Wedding
Anniversary during an Open
House held Sunday afternoon in
the Grapeview Firehall. The
Okoneks, residents of Grapeview
since the early 1920's, were
married in Detroit, Michigan on
September 13, 1921. A special
gift received the day after the
Open House, on their 50th
anniversary, was the birth of their
LOCAL CONTRACTOR
first great grandchild, a boy. They
also have two sons, one daughter
and seven grand-children.
Forty-seven members of the
family including brothers and
sisters of the couple, gathered at
the Okonek home for a picnic
after following the Open House.
Some of the relatives journeyed
from as far away as Michigan and
Texas for the event.
Mr. Okonek was employed at
the St, Charles Winery on Stretch

Since the Herald doesn't come
out now until Thursdays (the
same day as the club meets each
month), a two-week advance
notice is suggested in order to
reach all concerned. In this case
the meeting will have been called
to order prior to delivery of the
paper calling attention to the
proposed meeting.
Sandy Tveeten, wife
Marguerite and daughter Lynn are
back after a month's tour of
Europe. They were sure glad to
get back! They say if we think
our waters are polluted you
should see what it's like over
there - terrible!!
Too, if you are fond of
herring at practically every meal
and a steady diet of cheese
desserts, fine, but they'll take
good ote U.S. and Hood Canal
where you can still swim and
water ski, order a hamburger
deluxe and a slice of that favorite
all American dessert - PIE!!
Well, another week-end
lumberjack did it again - felled a
tree on the power lines causing a
two-hour outage on Sunday of
the Labor Day weekend.
It came at a very convenient
time, too when the late sleepers
were fixing brunch - the early
risers fixing lunch! So, what else
is new??
Norm Loudenback picked up
a nice 27-pounder the other side
of Sandy's Resort last week. It's
the largest he's caught in the canal
here - hopefully not his last.

What started out to be a "fun
day" (our first day off since
summer began), ended in an
interrupted fishing trip and a
cancelled Bar-b-q.
It all hapened when Jesse felt
a numbness in his left arm and leg
along with a terrific headache and
an unpainful but alarming amount
of unpleasant rumbling in the left
chest area.
A hurried trip to the Belfair
Clinic where he was given an
electrocardiograph was followed
by a trip by Belfair Ambulance to
Harrison Memorial Hospital and
the Intensive Care Section.
Well, to make a long story
short, it was neither a heart attack
nor a stroke, but was related to
the gunshot wound he received in
the head three years ago and was
such that tests, plus medication,
solved the problem within less
than 24 hours. (And just think,
the fellow who shot him is still
running around free after a six
months sentence while we are still
paying physically and monetarily
- that's justice??)
I can't say enough in
appreciation of the numerous
calls m person and over the
telephone offerring all kinds of
assistance. Thank you all for Jesse
and myself! !
Attention: Tomorrow is the
last day for filing for the position
of Director of District No• 1,
Tahuya. As of last Friday no one
had filed for this position - this
has to do with representation of
our area as far as the North Mason
Schools are concerned, and if no
one offers to run for this office
and then someone has to be
appointed to the position, the
voice of the people in Tahuya
might be considered little better
than a whisper - there must be
someone??

As a consumer-owned electric utility, our job is to pro-
vide dependable service to you and this entire commu-
nity.
Our electric power must be available any time you de-
cide to flip a switch. Knowing that you depend on us for
an important service, we are dedicated to meeting this
responsibility.
To be sure that your electric service will be adequate in
the future, we prepare engineering forecasts to estimate
your future needs for electricity. Rather than wait until
new facilities are actually needed, we plan and build
ahead, so you don't have to wait for us.
We must make sure that revenue is available for invest-
ments in equipment to keep the present system in good
working order and to build new facilities.
We try to do all this on a non-profit basis, keeping your
rates as low as possible.
It hasn't been easy to stay a step ahead of local growth,
but we are proud of our record.., and yours!
