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

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.

SIGNS OF CHRIST'S COMING
'THFJTRIOF ARCHAFA)LOGY-Pt, 3 1
No. 140 Ethel B. 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 !
OTHER AGENCY COULD ACCOUNT FOR TIlE BULK OF
S
MUD-CLA Y BANKS. 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). [
PETER'S ACCOUNT IS MOST INTERt'JSTING AS WELL
AS PROPHETIC, STATING TltAT TIlE WORLD THAT THEN
WAS {stored with water, Gen. 2:6: 7.'11,5) "BEING
OVI:'Ri;LOWk;D WITtt WATER PERISHED" (2 Pet. 3:5,6).
THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY TItE NEXT STARTLING

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

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.

you want to save money,
