found going aboard the battleship

They say that man's best friend is his dog.
In the North Mason area I think that old saying should be changed
to read "A dog's best friend is man." Maybe the people around here are
no different from people in other areas; maybe people everywhere are
partial to news or stories of dogs.
I thought it might be interesting to my readers to know that the
column on Freckles, our big three-legged dog, which ran two weeks ago
in this column brought more comments to my ear than any other
column I've written except for an editorial and column on a personal
family tragedy shortly after I became editor.
Everywhere I went last week, whether putting groceries in my
shopping basket, ordering lunch, attending an evening meeting or just
sitting in the office, someone would take time to come up and tell me
how much they enjoyed reading about Freckles, sometimes adding
some bits of information about their own dogs.
My mother-in-law and my husband both asked me to have a large
picture made of his photo; our kids' pictures have been in the paper
several times and they've never asked for a copy of those.
One of my neighbors, who knows Freckles personally, said she had
cut the article out to save.
In the same issue a short notice appeared reading:
BLACK PUP FOUND
A black dachshund puppy was found near St. Alban's Girl Scout
camp Sept. 3 and turned in to the Belfair office of the Sheriff's Dept.
Things won't be the same around there until the owner claims him,
which deputies and dispatcher hope will be SOON. (Editor's note: in
fact, they'll probably let ANYONE claim him.)
I had just returned from the local Sheriff's office when I wrote the
above. I had dropped in to get the latest news, mostly lost or found
items I use for short filler material, and had met the little puppy. He
really didn't fit into a business office.
While Onie Sande, the dispatcher, went through the card file in
search of news items she put the puppy on the counter so he wouldn't
run out the open door. He had a great time running back and forth
across my notebook, biting my hand or chewing on my pen. While I
was still there two girls and a dog came in. They had had their bicycles
stolen from near Twanoh State Park and were walking back to
Bremerton and had stopped in to give their addresses in case their bikes
were found. The little puppy barked excitedly at the other dog and
would have toppled off the counter onto its head if I hadn't caught it
by the chain around his neck and held him back. For the ten or fifteen
minutes the girls were in the office finishing their business and Onie and
a deputy were filling out the report, I kept one finger tucked in the
chain to keep the little dog out of reach of the bigger dog. (Maybe he
thought HE was bigger because he was looking down on the other dog.)
Poor Onie. She either had to do everything with just one hand while
she carried the pup in one arm or let him run loose on the counter
where he got into everything. Which explains the editor's note at the
end of the item, which, in my opinion gave the impression that the
little dog was sort of a nuisance, which was the impression I had of him.
So who would think that anyone would read about him and want
to own such a spirited nuisance? But people did. Three calls came in to
the Sherift s office offering a home to the little puppy and all three
already had a dog.
But none of them got him. The puppy had been sent to the Neal
McLean residence in Allyn till the owner claimed it, which never
happened, and a daughter, Jean, couldn't part with him and took him
to Tacoma to live in her boarding house while she trains to be a nurse.
Despite the fact that the first night in the McLean home he wrecked
havoc with a pile of newly ironed clothes.
I'll bet he livens up THAT boarding house.
There seems to be something about a dog...
CORRECTION

the Allyn Port District will be

North Shore resident
celebrates 93 years
Members of a Birthday Club
which was formed four years ago
met at Swanson's Grocery on
North Shore last Monday to
honor their oldest member, Rosa
Mondart Swanson, 93.
Mrs. Swanson was born in
1878 in East Baton Rouge,
Louisiana of French parents. She
lived in the south, in Mississippi
and Arkansas until 1923 when she
moved with her family to
Longview, Wash. Her husband,
Swan E. Swanson, died in 1925.
Since 1938 "Grandma" has
made her home with her son,
Ecker, and his wife, Donna. In
1954 they moved to North Shore.
Moving to a new community at
her age was difficult for Mrs.
Swanson, but she gradually made
new friends and became an active
pinochle player with her
neighbors, even joining a pinochle
club. She still plays her favorite
card game.
Besides Ecker, Mrs. Swanson
has another son, Albert, who is
married and lives in Beaverton,
Ore. While he was living in Florida
with his family, his mother made
several plane trips to visit. She has
three grandsons; Giles, of
Aberdeen, Byron of Portland,
Ore., and Kent of Beaverton, Ore.
She also has four great-
grandchildren.
Mrs. Trevor (Bess) Lewis,
whose real birthdate was during
the summer, waited to celebrate
her birthday with "Grandma."
Their beautifully decorated cake
was furnished by Lenna Fortman
and Virginia Rommen.

honor. Mrs. Trevor (Bess) Lewis waited to celebrate her

day.
Changes suggested for
County zoning ordinance
About 35 persons showed up
at the informal meeting to discuss
the proposed County zoning
ordinance with County Planner
Jim Connolly and four members
of the Planning Commission last
Monday night. And the planners,
when the meeting was over
around 11:30 p.m., had a list of
suggested changes or additions to
contemplate before the final draft
is presented for approval.
One of the first suggestions
offered, which was supported by
several members of the audience,
was to increase the minimum lot
size in agricultural and forestry
zones to five acres from the
present minimum of one acre.
Connolly said he had been for a
five-acre minimum but this was
one point which had been argued
pro and con by the Planning
Commission at great length and
his view had lost. One of the
reasons for the smaller size was to
make land in these zones available
to more people; it was felt that
taxes on five acres would
eliminate ownership by many
who could afford only one acre.
"Make a tax adjustment,"
suggested the author of the
five-acre minimum request.
Everybody laughed. She, and
others, felt the one-acre minimum
would defeat the purpose of the
zones, to leave green belts in the
County. The possibility of
banning any homes in the forestry
zone will be considered.
The time limit mentioned in a
couple of sections of the
ordinance were criticized and the
Board agreed the audience had a
good point and those would be
reviewed. For instance: "If any
nonconforming use of land ceases
for any reason for a period of
more than 30 days, any
subsequent use of such land shall
conform to the regulations
specified by this title for the
district in which such land is
located."It was felt that
businesses which operate only
during the summer would be
adversely affected by these rules.
"There are three pages
devoted to parking and nothing to
fire protection," complained
Chief Dick Knight of Fire District
5. He presented the Board with a
copy of the zoning ordinance
which he had marked to correct
this oversight. "Under Planned
Unit Development you list many
things which will be required, like
areas for outdoor recreation,
adequate car storage, plantings to
enhance the grounds, etc. but you
don't mention one word about
any need for fire protection
facilities." He also felt it should
be mentioned, under rules
applying to explosive storage,
junk yards, "or boat storage that
these require permits from the
local fire districts. The Board did
not agree on this point, stating
that almost anything in the
zoning ordinance required other
permits from various County,
State, federal or local officials and
they could not list them all.
