17, 1959 W Until You've Seen POT.O.GOLD Next Week SHELTON-MASON COUNTY JOURNAZP-Published in "Chr4,atmaatown U.K " SheIton, Harstine Island Bus Driver Starts 16th Year Without an Accident l litchcock, our school bus driver, is now martins his sixteenth year on the bus route, all of it is on Harstine. And all we parents are very much comforted by the thought that John has driven over 22,000 miles and never had an ac- cident of any kind. ,/OLIN ItAS LIVED on the Is- land for nearly 50 years, coming here with his parents in 1910 from Tacoma. He has spent most of the years here except for brief pe- riods, schooling in Portland, and By l)onette (;laser to drive every day in the bus. In ing the future generations of par- land people who would HARSTINE ISLAND -- John all these years he has been very ents, scholars, selwice men and a short time as instructor of the Skokomish Indian Reservation, and he worked in the Tacoma ship yards during the war. One of the first persons on the Island to en- ter into the chicken business, which became quite an industry for many. John was married in 1924 to Beulah Whaley of Agate. They have two children, Mrs. Paulene Carnes of Des Moines and Lyle of Olympia and their home is graced with five lovely grandchildren. He has been a member of the Har- stine Grange for over 35 years, being a member of The Agate be- fore Harstine was organized and active all this time in various Grange and Community affairs. He began driving the school bus in 1943 and is, as we said, enter- ing his 16th year. The Island has a new bus this year, and believe me John is sure pleased with it. The old discarded bus traveled 140,000 miles before it gave up the ghost. Although the roads are: in much better condition now than ever before it is still a rough road $299 fortunate, or lucky or else is one datm good bus driver because he ever has had the slightest acci- dent. During this time he has seen a good many children enter and leave the bus, faithfully working their way through the grades of our small school and on into the Shelton system to graduate. He has seen some go on to colleges, some into the service, and return and marry and have families of their own, many of these second generation are now on John's bus women and what ever they may choose to be. Yours is a very im- portant part of any community and we, as parents, are sure glad that you and your wife live in ouz community so we may send our children safe and sound to school, knowing they are in the best of hands. The Harstine Island Women's Club will meet at the hall on Thursday the 24 of September. The ladies are asked to bring their rummage for the sale, which will and are his most faithful admir, be held at the P.U.D. building on the 25-26 of September. You ar ers. asked to bring along a sack lunch. OUR BUS DRIVER is known to ............ ,, ,, .

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Knauf and children from Riverside, Califor- nia arrived on the Island to visit with the Richard Knaufs. They en- joyed their reunion, but were much saddened that it was called because of the death of their grandfather Mr. Mize of Tacoma. Dick and Cherry and the Robert Knaufs attended the funeral in Tacoma on Monday. Our sincere sympathy to you. MR. AND MRS.

There PROGRESS started their meet- September 11, with a potluck dinner. This al- ways insures a good crowd with everyone well fed, contented and in a jovial mood. They voted to raise their dues to $5.00 beginning with January. This was necessmT because of the' raise in state dues. Everyone was happy to have Glenn Ctory in attendance. Glenn is a past master of Progress and has been a member for many years. Progress will hold its booster night on September 25. This is a time when the grange holds an open meeting and invites their friends and neighbors to meet with them. It will be potluck.

Mrs. Perry is teaching the 2nd grade room at Pioneer school. We hope they will make Mason County their permanent home. Charles Younglove gave an in- teresting talk on the juvenile grange camp and thanked the grange for their sponsorship. We can say we were very pleased for the opportunity. Harry Hamilton presented the grange with a framed picture of the past masters taken at,the time of the golden anniversary. We are very grateful for the pic- ture and it will hang in the hall.

Miss Brenda and Mr. Joe Glaser of Shelton spent the weekend vis- iting their gTandparents, the H. A. Glasers. The State Fisheries commission extended the shutdown over the weekend one more day this last week, so the H. Vincent Glasers were able to make a trip to Ho- quiam. They visited Mrs. Glaser's twin sister and family, the Donald Burnetts, and Mr. Donald Eddy. Mrs. Eddy is now enjoying a visit in sunny southern California, Oak- land and San Francisco where we are proud to report she also gets the Journal.

They report, however, that they have seen better fishing. Jack and Lois Meeks, Mrs. Smalley and the Meek chtkh'en have been here on the Island one today. We just want you folks to know how much we, the people of the community, have en- joyed you folks, and what a hap- py addition you have been to Harstine. Police Chief Asks Cooperation Child safety in traffic is a three-way proposition, Chief Paul Htnton of the Shelton Police De- partment said this week. "THE SAFETY of children on the streets and highways of am- city and state is dependent on the traffic attitudes and actions of three groups .... parents, motor- ists, and children themselves," he said. Schools are doing a fine job of teaching safety in the classrooms from kindergarten on up, tie potnted out, and in many cases also are conducting driver educa- tion courses which give high school students practical experi- ence behind the wheel. "But if the program to save our children from injury and death in motor vehicle accidents is to be really effective," he said, "it must be carried beyond the classroom." Parents must set p. good exam- pie to children in their traffic habits, the Chief explained, and must use the authority and disci- pline of the home to instill in children respect and obedience to traffic safety les. "CHILDREN lACK the mature judgment of adults, however," he said, "and even with the best training, their actions sometimes are unpredictable. So it is up to the motorist to be especially alert near schools and playgrounds, in residential areas  and any place children may be expected to gath- er." And the children'themselves al- so must do the best they can to walk and play safely, obsezwing the miles they have learned at home and in school, he declared. "Child safety can be a reality only tf all three groups work to bring it about," he asserted. NOW IN STOOK Journal Editor Gels Association Duties Jom'nal editor Bill Dickic at- tended the 72nd convention of the Washington Newspaper Publish- ers Association in Yakima last week, appearing on the Friday morning program as a speaker on .he subject of "Building Circula- tion With Campaigns", the Jour- nal being' noted among Washing- ton weeklies for its continuing ef- forts to build its subscription list.

"THE SAFETY of children on the streets and highways of am- city and state is dependent on the traffic attitudes and actions of three groups .... parents, motor- ists, and children themselves," he said. Schools are doing a fine job of teaching safety in the classrooms from kindergarten on up, tie potnted out, and in many cases also are conducting driver educa- tion courses which give high school students practical experi- ence behind the wheel. "But if the program to save our children from injury and death in motor vehicle accidents is to be really effective," he said, "it must be carried beyond the classroom." Parents must set p. good exam- pie to children in their traffic habits, the Chief explained, and must use the authority and disci- pline of the home to instill in children respect and obedience to traffic safety les. "CHILDREN lACK the mature judgment of adults, however," he said, "and even with the best training, their actions sometimes are unpredictable. So it is up to the motorist to be especially alert near schools and playgrounds, in residential areas  and any place children may be expected to gath- er." And the children'themselves al- so must do the best they can to walk and play safely, obsezwing the miles they have learned at home and in school, he declared. "Child safety can be a reality only tf all three groups work to bring it about," he asserted.

The Shelton coach, Walt Hakola, is badly ill need of a capable tackle to fill out his '39 gridiron squad. With Don Satra to fill one post, Hakola is giving a thorough going over to the rest of the husky team to find the man to do the job.
