By LOUISE F-WART -- 426-~925
Last Week was national 4-H
week and a record crowd was
noted at Achievement Night
which was held at the Belfair
Grade School. Grapeview's 4-H
leaders, Mr. and Mrs. Lon Pdttitt,
were on hand and received pins
and honors due for all the time
they spend with our children. The
boys and girls recieved checks for
the demonstrations they gave last
spring. This last week two
meetings were held at tile Pettitt
home and several new members
attended.
The Mason County Park and
Recreation Board met October 4
for its regular meeting and plans
were made to visit all the sites
owned by the county so long
range Park planning will be
possible. The group will meet at
the Court House Sunday morning
October 24 and drive to the
various sites.
The children of the Grapeview
School were treated to a trip to
the Fish Hatchery Wednesday
morning and several members of
Mother's Club went along as
"helpers". Mothers and children
found the hatchery to be a very
interesting experience.
My mother has been alerted
to be on a two hour notice for her
cornea transplant. It seems a little
spooky that the donor is still
walking around while my mother
is waiting for the operation. I
donated my eyes to the eye bank
about fifteen years ago and I
know I feel better with the
knowledge that my eyes may help
someone see when I no longer
need them. I hope someone
someplace will feel the same for it
certainly will make my mother
enjoy life more. She has a little
bag all packed and is ready to go
and she said as soon as she can
really see she wants to go back to
Hawaii and see what she missed.
The mother spooks are
preparing a thrilling-chilling
evening of entertainment for all
the little spooks of Grapeview to
be held at the Grapeview Firehall
the evening of the 30th at 7:30
p.m. Tuesday morning a meeting
was held for the committee at the
home of Mrs. Bruce Fulmer and
final plans were made. Mrs. lone
Wood suggested a great new game,
a version of the "cake walk", but
with bags of candy and spooky
music. This is a party for all the
boys and girls in our area and is
looked forward to each year.
Because of the distance involved
it is impossible for the children to
"trick or treat" so we have a big
party at the firehall. A pumpkin
has been set up in the store and
donations from all who would
like to help make the party a
success will be gratefully accepted
by the Mother's Club. Prizes will
be given for the most original
costume among the pre-school,
Mrs. Olsons' room, Mrs. Watson's
room and Mr. Zehe's room, and
remember there will be treats and
fun for all. We know it will be lots
of fun. Please come.
With the rash of broken bones
since school started and ski season
coming up remember the firehall
has crutches and wheel chairs to
loan in case of need.
A full house was observed in
the commissioners room of the
Mason County Court house
regarding the use or restriction of
firearms on Stretch Island. The
meeting was held at 11 o'clock
October 12. Residents were able
to state their views and a decision
will be given by the
Commissioners later this month.
Some were in favor of "Hunting
by Shotgun only" and others felt
there sould be no hunting on the
Island at all.
Because of Nation-wide
distribution, the name of the local
geoduck plant has been changed
from "Monarch Clams" to
"Olympic Clams, Inc". This plant
has hired several more people and
is a growing concern.
Another local business is
about over for the year, the
annual grape harvest on Stretch
Island has almost been sold out.
The last few weekends people
from all over Western Washington
have come seeking the delicious
fruit, and on a u-pick basis the
vineyards were quickly sold out.
At this time only two places were
left for picking and I think they
will be cleaned out by the time
this comes out.
October 25 will be a holiday
from school so Veteran's Day can
be celebrated. Starting with the
first issue of the paper in
November I would like to have a
calender of events for the month
and would like to have notices of
meetings and so on by October
22, so I can have November's
events all lined up.
The Shelton High School
Drama Department presented the
Children's Theatre Production of
The Little Princess and Jack and
the Beanstalk.
Jack and the Beanstalk was an
experimental type play and was
greatly dependent upon the
participation of the audience.
This was done by having
youngsters sit on the stage all
around the actors. The children
usually know the story and it is
flexible enough that the ideas of
the children could change it. One
little boy really got into the act
and tried to hide Jack from the
giant by sitting on him, and made
suggestions on how to get away
and where to hide. He even had a
friend help make a huge mouse
hole for Jack to hide in. This
really appealed to the children
and was enjoyed by all.
The Little Princess was a
dramatic offering in the
traditional manner and Laura
Johnston played a very fine part
as Sara, The Little Princess.
The children's Theatre has
performed the plays seven times
and has traveled all over the
county and to Renton. We are
fortunate to have Mr. Tarrach as
head of the drama department for
he always has excellent ideas and
they are well carried out for the
enjoyment of the public.

Prevention of fires is as
important a function of a fire
department as answering calls
when a fire does break out. In an
effort to remind local citizens of
fire safety rules, Chief Bill
DeMiero of the Belfair Fire Dept.
has made up a series of questions
to be checked by those interested
in making their homes as safe as
possible.
1. Are there any old papers or
other trash in attic?
2. Is there any old trash in
basement?
3. Is the yard around the
building clean of all rubbish?
4. Is floor under wood or oil
stove protected by metal, tile or
cement?
5. Are walls and ceilings
protected from overheated stoves
and stove pipes?
6. Are matches kept away
from heat and children?
7. Are there any cracks in
chimney?
8. Was chimney cleaned
recently, at least once a year?
9. Do stove-pipes pass through
closets or attics?
10. Is gasoline ever kept in the
house? Never!
11. Is kerosene used to start
fires in stove? Never!
12. Should your electric iron
be placed on a metal stand?
Always, when not in use.
13. Are there any frayed or
broken electric cords in home?
14. Are there more than two
electric appliances connected to
one outlet?
15. Are there only 15 amp.
fuses used in light circuit?
16. Is there a screen on
fireplace?
17. Do you have a fire
extinguisher? Water hose?
18. Do you know how to turn
in a fire alarm?
19. Do you always sleep with
your bedroom door closed?
20. Will you arrange for a fire
drill in your own home?
OF THANKS
We wish to thank our many
friends and neighbors for
their kindness, sympathy and
beautiful flowers during the
loss of our loved one.

ED BUSCHINI of Auburn Game Farm holds a "Reeves", special trophy
pheasant released in a few areas on the pheasant hunting grounds off
Sandhill Road along with the regular plant of Sandpoint Ringneck pheasants.
The Reeves can, under ideal conditions, grow tail feathers 15 feet long. This
one has a tail of about 30 inches and should provide a thrill for some hunter
this year.

LIBRARIAN OF THE North Mason Library in Belfair,
Elizabeth Gatlin, was guest speaker at last week's meeting of
Belfair Chamber of Commerce.
Leroy Kirkendahl, 50, of
Allyn received a bump on the
head and abrasions to the right
elbow, treated by a private
physician, in an accident near the
Sherwood Creek bridge south of
Allyn at 5:40 p.m. October 12.
He was a passenger in a car driven
by Berry W. Hodgson, 25, of
Grapeview, whose '48
International truck damage was
estimated at $50.
Driver of the '70 Ford truck,
a rented vehicle, which struck the
Hodgson pickup as it attempted
to make a left turn onto the
Grapeview Road, was Thomas J.
Cundy, 20, of Olympia. Both
trucks were traveling south on
Highway 3 when Cundy
attempted to pass the Hodgson
pickup as it made a left turn onto
the Grapeview Road. Estimated
damage to the U-rent truck was
$200.

~N~aostzzA too~ azxA I~ffmte6 m ~x
choice o~ colozs-. She sa'x6 all of~
hez ideas were merely suggesO.ons.
Colorful wagons placed
around town had been suggested
at an earlier meeting and at this
meeting some felt a "boat" theme
would be more appropriate for
Belfair. diane thought a hull of a
boat creating a shipwreck scene
would be eye-catching in one of
the gardens of the shopping
center.
So far, none of the ideas have
been officially adopted by the
Chamber. It is hoped that more
local business people will turn out
at the next meeting to add their
ideas.
Following the business
meeting, Elizabeth Gatlin, local
librarian, told members of recent
changes and future hopes of the
North Mason library. She traced
the history of the library back to
around t950 when Dorothy
Harper, about to open her drug
store, donated space for a library
and the local VFW donated
shelves. The Belfair Women's
Club, which had been working to
get a library in the area, paid the
$15 rent each month. Oren Clark
kept the library in the drug store
when he took over, but when he
moved into the new building,
there was no room. For a period
Belfair was served only by
Bookmobile service which proved
unsatisfactory.
Gordon McKnight offered
space in the back of his shop
when he opened Belfair TV in its
present location and there the
library still is. Hours are Fridays,
12 to 5 and Saturdays, 10 to I.
This fall a bookmobile, for adult
use as well as students, is making
two evening stops in Belfair each
month, from 6:40 p.m. each
second and fourth Wednesdays
until 8 p.m.
New this year has been the
story hour for pre-school children
which was started this summer
and is continuing each Friday at
11:15 a.m.
Mrs. Gatlin mentioned that
the library is looking for bigger
quarters and asked if anyone
knew of land available, large
~imbgt~,aa& ~e~o~% Ux'~xary
because o[ t~ae g~eat numbez ot
books available. Persons
requesting books not on the shelf
in Belfair will have them mailed
to them from the central request
system. Books from five counties,
Mason, Lewis, Thurston, Grays
Harbor and Pacific are available to
Belfair readers.
