JANE WINDSOR MRS. LUCY BLAKE t In these days when many com- munities aye calling for more ed- ucational facilities, it is sometimes overlooked that every county seat has a branch of Washington State University and the U. S. Depart- ment of Agriculture right in its Cooperative Extension Service of- fice. In Shelton, this office is in the lower entrance of the post office. There are two resident teachers in- cluding County Agent Harold Van De Riet and Mrs~ Jane Windsor. Harold, or "Van", as most of his friends know him, is tlained in management, agriculture and 4-H youth work. Mrs. Windsor is a home economist. Mrs. Lucy Blake assists them as office man- ager. Educational help to families is the base of the Cooperative Ex- tension Service in each county throughout the nation and in the mmh of today's social and econo- mic changes, people must contin- ually learn or soon become dis- advantaged. VAN DE RIET SAYS that the county agent used to concentrate on making full-time farmers out of everyone who had a piece of land. A significant part of the job today is to help the farmer learn if he can really compete with the big producer. It now takes more than $14 of investment for every dollar of yearly net income to be in the farming picture. Jane Windsor relates changes too. Homemakers used to put all their efforts into family sewing, canning, cooking and cleaning. Ex- tension Home Economists were kept busy teaching cooking and cleaning. Now homemakers want help in judging what they buy. Ieamilies deserve financial coun- sel and they need a no-biased edu- cational setting for greater under- standing of how to handle the changes in family life. These can extend, as most already know, from the days of child rearing to the many years of a marriage when the "nest is empty." Two teachers are a small facul- ty for serving a student potential that numbers 17,000 in Mason County. Priority is given to the greatest needs. Often families can study on their own and the Ex- tension office maintains large sup- plies of bulletins for this very put- ,pose. Research by people on both I the state and federal level goes into these bulletins and they are :important stepping stones to fur- ther lealming. There is no charge for these bulletins and residents may get them by stopping at the Extension office or by merely tele- phoning. Knowing the wants and needs of a community is important to the success of any Extension office and leaders in the area often serve as sounding boards on common concerns of families. When the same problem faces a number of people in the community, the Ex- tension agents plan classes, work- shops or short courses .... IF TEACIIING can be spread authentically, volunteer leaders are trained. Homemaker clubs, 4-H and commodity groups are typical channels. Home Economies Exten- sion-alone uses more than a mil- lion volunteer leaders throughout the U.S. each year. Where Agent Van De Riot is concerned, he feels that a big chunk of his teaching energy can go to 4-H leaders who are helping :more than 300 young people each !year in Mason County. He also i feels he can give much time to folks who want to make the best use of their land but still hold an- other job. Mrs. Windsor gives priority to family, life problems, Management Of time, money and ene~g/] are her forte; She feels: Justified in private counsel to families Who want to develop spending plans, Health, housing, foods and the family clothing are all possible in h0r schedule. If crafts are re- quested Mrs. Windsor usually di- rects the teaching to skilled pea, pie who are not part of the Exten- sion Service: ALI, TEACHING is done to help the families make their own choi- ces more rationally. Even money management is not taught with a prescription` of a certain percent to be spent in a tightly budgeted frame no matter what the family values.' ' : Agents Van De Rtet and Wind- sor also feel that some of their time belongs to community prob- lems affecting the Welfare of fam- ilies. Working with civil defen~e~ fair boards, the council on aging and economic opportunity commit- Portrait !i : i¸ / /:!i HAROLD VAN DE RIET * ¢ * ~ees are examples of this phase of the agent's effort. Not all of the agent's time goes to face-to-face teaching. Oftee much can be done with the help of the nei#spapers,' radios and tele- vision stations serving the area. Cooperation, .traditionally, has been unswerving.

HOODSPORT SCHOOL -- The Third grade had a math speed test on 60 add and subtract facts. The five fastest workers were Rhonda Endicott, three minutes; George Jalwis, 3~.~ minutes; Jayni Hunter and Nanci Dean, 4~,fi rain.; and Laurie Robbins, six rain. The slowest time was 20 minutes. Nanci Dean and Laurie Robbi~s have maintained a perfect grade score of 100 in spelling during the first two months of school. Speaking of imagination, here is an excerpt from one of the third graders short stories on dreams. Rhonda Endicott writes, "One night I dreamed that I was eat- ing dinner aL 1 a.m. We had fried gel" COLD, IN HEAT, Itn,40 0nfud • li~.iXleLIt SHATTER PROO4~ • LAg"re FOR yURll Ii~ w~dev~ HAVE GENUINE FLEX-O-GLASS-- Cut and Ta~ Such Other Winter Protectors as: Windows • Storm Doors Storm Window Kits ion $ Weather-Stripping GOMPAHY PHONE 426-4522 grasshopper legs, baked eyes and some cake without baking powder and eggs• Wc had it every day for all three meals". Second Grille --- Mrs, Moore had the children writing some fairy stories, such as Ricky Fried- man's--"Once upon a time there was a king and a princess and a bad fairy and she was sewing and the princess came along and she said, can I sew. Yes you can, said the fairy and she did and she stuck the needle in her thumb and she fell asleep for a hundred years." Janice Laramie writes, "Once upon a Lime there was a beautiful princess and a king a~d queen. They lived in a castle. One day a prince and a fairy came to the castle. They went up to the door and knocked. The icing ol)ened the door. He saw the prince and the fairy. The prince looked at the princess and he wanted to marry her because she was so beautiful so they got married and lived happy ever after." Scott Metzler wrote the follow- ing: "Once upon a time there was dragon. This dragon was a very mean dragon. Tl]en a little boy came along. The boy saw a funny dragon, but it was not a funny dragon. It was a mean dragon. So the dragon ate him up and that was tim end of lfim." Junior High---The Eighth grade will soon be holding its annual candy sale. Half of the Eighth grade is hav- ing a semester of speech. They arc learning to speak before the class, using not only their voices but also such hand, body and fac- ial movements as arc necessary to get their point across, Last week was spent in doing pauto- mimes and this week they have been playing charades, all inl:en(led to perfect their speech habits. Carl Fellstrom rcport,~ that nearly 100 percent of the class realizes the importance of speech and arc doing their utmost to attain some degree of proficiency. He further stated, "I am very proud of these youngsters for each day shows progres.~ in spite of the tremendous strain they are con- fronted by when speaking before a group of their peere."
