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.

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.

According to law, a driver
must allow a wrecker to pass
when its red light is flashing, in
the same manner in which
ambulances, fire engines and
patrol cars are given the
right-of-way. 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.
