Box 127, Allyn, WA 98524 Canal life.., south shore By MAC McKINNEY 898-2346 We all know the Huckleberry Herald; you've heard of the Huckleberry Hound, but now there's a Huckleberry Woodpecker. Every day for the past several weeks this cocky independent well-dressed visitor comes to call, to make noises like an irate mother hen and to feast on the huckleberries. In his shiny, black feathered coat with the immaculate white collar and vest, topped off by his red fez, he looks for all the world like a Shriner out on the town. He has a routine he follows too. Landing high in the cedar tree, he noisly eases himself down the trunk like a sailor going below deck - derriere first. When he is on an even keel with the huckleberry bush, he digs into the cedar with his claws and, defying the law of gravity, proceeds to gorge on the juicy berries. He's a delight to watch and we'll be sorry when the berries are gone. One of the disadvantages of living in the country, as we do, is that much of the entertainment or cultural activity is in the city which is a respectable distance from us. Many of us, however, go to South Sound at Lacey to shop and, with the holidays coming up, may be going more often. If you can spare the time, when you are in that vicinity, there is a fine exhibit at the Evergreen State College and your time is all it will cost you. A Smithsonian Exhibit of the Rolf Nesch Graphics is being shown as well as Norwegian "Folk Arts and the work of some State of Washington artists of Norwegian ancestry. The exhibit is being sponsored by the Norwegian Embassy of Washington, D.C., The National Gallery of Oslo, The Norwegian American 150th Anniversary Commission and the Evergreen State College. The display is in the college library and will continue until Dec. 12. You will be most welcome. But if you have difficulty getting to Olympia, try attending the Ladies Civic Club in Union. At their meeting on Nov. 13 members enjoyed a travelogue given by Lucille Livingston. Mrs. Livingston and a lady friend recently returned from a six-week trip to Europe where they visited friends and relatives in Gladys Thompson brought Mrs Agnes Shay as her guest. Mrs. Vera Zacny, club president, has a houseguest, Ms. Marie Johannson of Minot, No. Oak., who also attended as a guest. In their business meeting the Ladies Civic Club voted to donate $100 to the Belfair Fire Department for the ambulance they are working to purchase in that community. This will serve as the club's benevolent project for the Christmas season. The next meeting will be a Christmas party on Dec. 11. Hostesses will be Vera Zacny, June Johnston, Helen Pierce and Lucille Livingston. From Anne Gratton we learn there will be a potluck supper at the firehall in Union Nov. 21 sponsored by the Hood Canal Improvement Club. Eveyrone is welcome; just bring your favorite dish and enjoy a buffet the gourmets would drool over. Following dinner there will be card-playing and visiting. Hood Canal Lions Club will hold its regular dinner meeting Nov. 20 at 8 p.m. at the Hoodsport Care. Secretary Randall Updyke urges good attendance to make plans for Christmas. Our postmaster has been sharpening up her expertise at a three-day seminar held by the U.S. Postal Service at the Quality Inn-sherwood in Seattle. This particular seminar was for post offices the size of the Union Office - and that's the way to run a railroad. We hear Eb Snell of Union is in Doctors Hospital in Seattle. It has been our experience that seldom .does a greeting from friends mean so much as when one is ill or hospitalized. We're sure Eb would love to hear from some of us over here. Joyce Johnson of the Union Marina wears several hats, sometimes two or three at the same time. The other day she called home to check on her boys as the two young teenagers were caring for the little four-year-old. When she determined everything was under control she said, "Better give the little one some lunch," to which the boy replied, "Oh, we already did, Morn, and we ate too." "Great," said Joyce.

The meeting was night. This must be how mothers very well attended and Mrs. learn to roll with the punches. Warning given gym creates Probably it seemed like Excedrin Headache Number 50 to Mark Muxen, athletic director for North Mason School District. His problem? To devise a schedule for practice turnouts and game times for 12 teams of local high school and junior high students turning out for winter sports. Six teams, both boys' and girls' basketball and wrestling, are from Library s local talent Timberland Regional Libraries are on a talent hunt. The 25 libraries in the Timberland system are looking for local talent for programs and demonstrations. "We know that ever'y community has people with talent who would be willing to share it with others," Michael Hedges, community relations officer said. "If someone can whittle, sing, play an instrument, or perhaps is an expert in some field and would be willing to speak at a library, we would be thrilled to have them." Past programs at Timberland libraries have included a wool spinning demonstration, a class on making apple head dolls, puppet shows, a lecture on Eskimos and a karate demonstration. Besides looking for talent for programs, Timberland is also searching for things. "Many of our libraries have display cases, and we're always in need of interesting displays for them," Hedges said. Anyone interested in volunteering talent or displays should call their nearest Timberland library or Hedges in Lacey at 491-8475. Winter rules for delivery of mail Star route carriers must make every effort to serve the greatest number of customers during severe weather conditions, says Postmaster Pat Henningsen. Carriers are not required, however, to provide service on foot when roads are impassable. Customers are responsible for keeping approaches to boxes clear of snow and all other obstructions which may make delivery of mail difficult or impossible. Customers should be aware that failure to open approaches to boxes may prevent carriers temporarily from making deliveries. If a carrier is unable to deliver mail to a box due to snow or hazardous road conditions, arrangements may be made to have the mail held at the post office or to have it delivered to another box on the route'. the high school, six from the junior high. And one gym, with one basketball court, serves them all. Because of the large number of teams vying for use of the gym facilities it was impossible to schedule all turnouts during "prime time" immediately before or after school when students can be assured transportation at least one way to or from school. Each day students on at least six teams are having to ride the school bus home and return a short time later by private transportation for turnouts. On some days turnouts are scheduled as early as 6 a.m. Because there is no supervision available after 3 p.m. for the 60 or so students who might be waiting for the 4:45 p.m. sessions, Principal Art Davis has ruled that students whose turnout time occurs later than ½ hour after school is dismissed must ride home on the school bus and return later via some other means of transportation. The new policy states that they cannot remain on campus in an unsupervised setting after 3 p.m. Davis has sent a letter home with all students turning out for winter sports, explaining the problem and encouraging parents to form carpoois from various locations to help with transportation. The gym at Belfair Elementary has also been put into use to help alleviate the situation, although it is only about ¾ of the regular basketball court size. 8:30 to 5:30 Tues. thru Fri. 10 a.m. to ! p.m. Sat.

Red lights are not always used, only when the situation warrants it, according to Dorothy Griffey of Zephyr Towing. She called the Herald office to ask that a reminder be printed in light, some were reluctant to move over. Persons not giving vehicles with red lights flashing the right-of-way are subject to $100 fines. Red lights are used only in emergency situations, when loss of life or property are involved.
