"Lstat00; By Realtor REID MITCHELL MASON COUNTY REALTY WHITE ELEPHANT SYNDROME In the real estate trade it's called a "White Elephant." An excellent house for sale which just sits and sits. Often you can recognize• it by the tall grass and weeds overrunning the front yard; an occasional broken window here and there. The cause of this blight is always the same -- OVERPRICING! This story always has a sad ending -- for the seller. Eventually he has to reduce the price to sell. By this time, it's too late. The good prospects have waved goodbye and bought elsewhere. The appearance and condition have deteriorated. The eventual selling price is far below what i it could have realized had it been valued realistically from the outset. You don't have to increase the "White Elephant" population. There is a safe way to establish the RIGHT price. When you're ready to sell, see a local realtor. He'll know the true value and what it will bring in the market. Top price, yes! Overprice-- No If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate please phone or drop in at MASON COUNTY REALTY, 724 Railroad Avenue, Shelton, phone 426-4486• We're here to help. HOW MUCH WATER SHOULD YOU DRINK? All living cells of the body function in a fluid environment. This fluid is steadily lost through the gastrointestinal and urinal tracts. More is lost by perspiration and through the lungs. It must be replaced because the skin cannot absorb moisture from the air no matter how humid the day. The body usually functions best if two quarts of liquids are taken in each day. One quart is considered the minimum. So estimate how much you get each day in coffee, etc., and drink additional water to help keep you healthier. YOUR DOCTOR CAN PHONE US when you need a medicine.

Dinning Last week we caw'red a lot of prophetic fulfillments brought out by the fi'nding that history-filled stones not only proved the authenticiO, of our important prophesies so as to give proof to aid our last day s'offers that they might understand the seriousness of our times (2 Pet. 3:3.4), as well as to strenghten the faith of believers; that since we are in the time of the end {Dat 11:7-10," Matt. 24.'21,22," Rev. 11:2,3), that we must give diligence in preparhtg FOR THE GLORIOUS EVENT OF CHRIST'S SECOND COMING IN THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN (Matt. 24:30,31; Heb. 12.'1,2). So the stones' PrOPhesy by CHRIST THAT WOULD SPEAK OUT AT TIlE APPOINTED TIME ARE NOW SPEAKING (Luke 19:37-40; Job 7:11; Dan. 8:19; 10:1; 11:27,29,35). Let us look at some others sent to enlighten us: The third was called the Moabite stone, discovered by missionary F.A. Klein in .1868, 18 miles east of the Dead Sea, it had been written to give an accurate account of, first the victory of King Mesha of Moab over the Israelite King Omri, mentioning Israel 4 times, also JEHOVAH AS THE GOD OF 1SRAEL: THEN TELLS OF HIS DEFEAT AND SUBJUGATION BY ISRAEL (1 Kin. 16:29; 2 Kit 3:4,5). How little he knew that it would be found for our day. Next we make mention of the debt we owe to the Assyrian King Ashurbanpal's great library at Ninevah, made up of copies of hisfxorical epics from the surroundi'ng countries'. This was discoieked by Layard an Kassan and had formed the basis of our knowledge of the Assyrian and Babylonian languages as well as historie It took matt), years to decipher and translate the , thousands of volumes which oJJ'ered great surprise, that, when compared to the Bible prophesies of Daniel as well as his experiences at the courts of both Babylon and Medo-Persia were so compatible that J.W. Newton proclaimed "THA 1" TItE FINDINGS ESTABLISHED TIlE A CCURA CY OF THE BIBLE - THATNOTA WORD HASFAILED." Now comes the cuneiform from old Chaldea (wedge-shaped characters) used in the libraries of the Babylonian, Assyrian and Persians for some 2000 years. Thousands of these were dug up in the Euphrates Valley. When deciphered were versions of | CREATION, TItE "ORIGINAL PARADISE, T11E FALL OF MAN BY EATING THE FRUIT OF THE CASSIA. ALSO OF THE GREAT FLOOD, 'MENTIONED AS AN EVENT THAT INTERRUPTED THAT PERIOD'S COURSE OF HISTORY,' S this from Leonard Wolly who spent 7 years excavating down into numerous pits of ancient peoples buried benealh the strata of WATERLAID CLAY, WHICH HE DECLARED COULD HAVE BEEN THE RESULT OF THE FLOOD, FOR NO !

HE A LSO STA TES "TtlA T IT MARKED [ A DEFINITE BREAK IN THE CONTINUITY OF THE LOCAL CULTURL:" The full Biblical account of this is found in Genesis, Chapters 6, 7 and 8. The Bible has additional words FOR OUR GENERA TION ON TIIlS THAT IT WILL NEVER BE DESTROYED BY WATER AGAIN (Gen. 9:11-16; lsa. 54:9; Heb. 11:7).

Page 28 - Shelton-Mason County Journal - Thursday, Octoberl Harstine: Sheriff candidates, to speak Y YATES Velma Lawrence had worked like telephone girl, Hilda Williams, Each and every Harstine the proverbial beaver and had Island resident is extended a cordi',d invitation to attend this Friday night's meeting of the Harstine Community Club. The meeting is open to all islanders. The two candidates who are running for the office of Mason County sheriff will be present to answer any questions that anyone in the community may put to them. The candidates are Fred Pharris and Richard Swearingen. This is not a political debate, but rather a chance to meet both candidates and ask any questions of the candidates. Everyone is invited. The time is set for 7:30 p.m. Then canting up next week the Grange is holding an open meeting to welcome several county officials. And once again this w'ill not be for the candidates to campaign, but rather for the community to provide their input that may be helpful to the officials in their upcoming planning. The open meeting will be preceded by a potluck supper at 6:30 p.m. Each and every island resident is extended a cordial invitation to participate in both the potluck supper and the meeting which is set for 7:30 p.m. (Please bring your own place setting for each person attending the potluck.) The Bookmobile will be on the island this afternoon from 1:35 to 2:15 p.m. In recent weeks the number of residents participating in this service has been declining, which is most unfortunate, since all of us are providing this service through our tax dollars. Without our continued support, i.e., usin the Bookmobile, we stand to lose this convenient traveling library. A warm welcome is extended to Larry Mitchell and his wife, Barbara and first grade son, David. Not only are the Mitchell family new islanders, but they are also the parents of a new baby daughter, Jayne June Mitchell, born October 6 and weighing in at nine pounds, 1½ ounces. She is the granddaughter of Reid and Edna Mitchell of Jarrell's Cove. Larry and his family have built a new home on Sunset Hill. Early last week George and Maxine Waite received word that their new arrival was awaiting their inspection and approval in Seattle. Way last spring the Waites put in an order for a 39-foot boat which originally was scheduled to arrive this past summer. However, since then the arrival time has been delayed many, many times and compared to the anticipation of an addition to the family, this in some ways has been even more frustrating. For with the anticipation of a new babe, one has at least something as tangible as the feeling of movement and new life. But in the case of the Waite's new acquisition, there was nothing to be seen or felt throughout all the numerous delays. But finally the long awaited moment came, and at long, long last after the drive to Seattle they could touch, see and feel, making their dream at long last become a reality. The boat will require at least another few short weeks to be completed and fitted before George and Maxine can make the trip to Seattle to claim their pride and joy which will be their second home afloat, so to speak. About two dozen island gals were on hand a week ago today at the October meeting of the Women's Club which was held at the Hartstene Pointe Clubhouse.

I ".1 2, 1978 will contact those not present to the new booklets ready with the select their choice of a soup or names, addresses and the birthdays of all the members ready for distribution to everyone present. It was announced that the names of the mystery sisters will be announced at the November meeting, which will be November 2. The main topic of discussion at last week's meeting was the upcoming "All Island Rummage Sale." There will also be tables for baked goods, crafts and plants. Any and all donations will be greatly appreciated. The Harstine Youth Club will sell coffee and donuts made fresh at the scene. The date is set for October 28. Members of the club will gather at the hall on the Friday prior to the sale to mark and sort the sale items at 10 a.m. Take a sack lunch, plus paper sacks, marking pencils, tape, newspaper and cardboard cartons. Also the gals voted to have a potluck soup and hot bread or cracker luncheon at the November meeting. Gals with last names from A through Lucille Murphy will provide the chow. The last half of the alphabet will participate at a future meeting. The club's hot bread or crackers. This past weekend Lisa Yates and a friend from Shelton, Gina McClellan, took advantage of the late Indian summer weather to enjoy a camping trip to the nearby state park on McMicken Island, located about three miles south of the Yates residence at Spencer Cove. Early Saturday morning the two girls rowed to the miniature island, which is attached to Harstine by a sand bar at low tide. Later in the afternoon the girls rowed back to Spencer Cove. At that time they gave in to the mechanical era and eisted the aid of an outboard motor for their return trip to McMicken. They set an alarm clock for about 3 a.m. in order to explore the sand bar at low tide. After breakfast they decided to fke up the outboard for a cruise. However, after numerous tugs on the rope said outboard won the battle, but not the war. A nearby cruiser from Vancouver, B.C. came to the rescue of the feminine campers and offered their assistance in the form of a tow. The only mishap of the weekend was a mild case of poison oak contracted by Gina. Stores in Washington are good places to shop. But not to shoplift. They're doing everything they can to keep prices down. By keeping losses down. If you're caught shopliing, you or your parents may have to pay a fine directly to the store. At least $100. No matter what you took. It's the law. We're enforcing it.
