Probl,
MRS. 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-

~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

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."
