Mr. and Mrs. Boston lnglese
have returned to their home at
Escanada, Mich., after a visit with
their daughter, Mrs. Gina Hannan
and her family. During their stay,
they visited Seattle and had
dinner with other family
members.
After their long drive from
Michigan, the local sharp curves
and our rain left something to be
desired. Knowing that the Pacific
NW salmon plant near the north
part of Michigan has been such a
huge success, it was a sad event
for the visitors to get skunked
while fishing here in the rain,
hoping to catch a Washington
State salmon.
Good news was in a surprise
call from Jan Lackey this last
week. By this time she hopes to
be long gone from University
Hospital and back home with
family and friends. Jan said it is
rough being confined after such
activities as the Olympic College
tennis team, and she looks
forward to saying "hi" in person
SOOn.
Want to spend the holiday
weekend with a good book?
Don't forget the perfect timing
for the Bookmobile to be at
Leathermans at 4 p.m. and at
Moores at 4:30 p.m., the day
before Thanksgiving, Nov. 26.
Recent high winds forced a
temporary closure of the Tacoma
Narrows Bridge to traffic. This
brought a reminder that it was 35
years ago on another Nov. 7 when
the first structure, nicknamed
Galloping Gertie, took the fatal
plunge. Our long-ago ride over
that original model was an
experience not to be forgotten as
oncoming cars and headlights
would disappear from fight when
the bridge rippled and swayed in
the wind.

neighbor and I joined the lines of
cars activated by radio news that
the Narrows Bridge was in
trouble. (There had to be a car
accident in the crowded route to
the narrows with the well-known
C. A. Hanks of Port Orchard a
fatality.) When we arrived, the
center portion of the bridge was
hanging, broken and trailing in
the water. The hanging span was
whipping in the wind with
sections separating and falling
into the water and onto railroad
tracks nearby. The stranded dog
and car had also fallen from the
bridge into the water by this time.
One part that seemed not to
be publicized has been a puzzle
these many years to the "1 Was
There" gang. Very few know that
there was another car left on the
bridge towards the Gig Harbor
side that was also lost. As the
bridge had whipped and cured, a
crossing panel truck loaded with
electrical parts tipped over. The
man and a woman passenger were
able to get out of their wrecked
truck and started crawling
towards the secure part near the
towers. They were skinned and
bruised from their efforts, having
to avoid their overturned truck
that was sliding around in the
violent bridge action. All was lost,
and so were their names and story
as the years went by. During the
sad event, none of us thought to
take pictures that would have
preserved this for posterity.
There are so many activities
missed when the articles and
announcements are for Thursday,
like today. When the Huckleberry
Herald is delivered on Friday in
some parts, it is already the day
after and another missed event.
Just in case of rain, sleet, or
other problems, this is an early
wish for a happy Thanksgiving
Day for everyone (and includes
tiny visitors that like Lou's closet
space).
A new motion picture film
titled "'A Whole Lot Proud" has
just been released and is available
on a free-loan basis from the
Seattle District, Army Corps of
Engineers.
The 25-minute color film tells
the story of the Corps Park
Ranzers tending recreation areas
around more than 400 Corps lakes
throughout the United States.
Their job of making recreation
areas and wildlife refuges
connected with the lakes more
enjoyable is but part of the story
told in the new 16-mm film. It
also emphasizes society's
responsibility to support
recreation resource management.
It was filmed in the panoramic
Ozarks, the rugged hills of South
Dakota and the sprawling beauty
of Tennessee. Over 350 million
visitors took advantage of Corps
day-use and camping facilities
throughout the Nation in 1974,
the Corps said.
The film is available to
schools, clubs and other groups,
free of charge, by writing to the
Public Affairs Office, Seattle
District, Army Corps of
Engineers, Post Office Box
C-3755, Seattle, Wa. 98124; or
telephone (206) 764-3750.
COW TOWED BY CAR
On Nov. 6 the sheriff's office
received several calls from
motorists who had passed a car
towing a cow on Highway 3 just
south of Allyn. Some were
concerned about possible cruelty
to the animal, others over traffic
hazards presented by the
slow-moving vehicle. Investigation
revealed that all necessary
precautions had been made by the
driver for safety of the animal and
that the vehicle was traveling as
far to the right side of the
highway as possible.

FRANK BROUILLET, state superintendent of public
instruction, spoke at an education workshop attended by two
Belfair women.
Two citizens from North
Mason, Kathy Landram and Carol
Wen tlandt, participated in an
education workshop held in
Silverdale Nov. 12. About 150
persons from the Kitsap area,
including several state legislators
and State School Superintendent
Frank Brouillet, attended the
evening session which was
sponsored by the Governor,
members of the State House of
Representatives and the
Superintendent of Public
Instruction.
The workshop was divided
into two sections, one devoted to
goals for education quality and
the other to school funding.
Participants were divided into
small groups for a brainstorming
period, a discussion of ideas
brought up, a period of setting
priorities and then a recording
period so that the ideas judged to
be the best could be passed on t6
the whole group.
Both subjects were handled in
this manner and Mrs. Wentlandt,
who is chairperson of the North
Mason Board of School Directors,
said she came home from the
workshop with the feeling that
she had been able to express her
ideas and that "someone" really
listened. Many of the people
participating were connected with
education but many others were
parents or interested citizens.
Eleven of these workshops are
being held throughout the state.
Each person in attendance was
also asked to fill out a lengthy
questionnaire aimed at
determining citizen opinion on
education quality and funding.
Included among the 35 questions
asked about views on education
were such questions as whether
the administrators of local schools
have too difficult a time
dismissing unsatisfactory teachers,
whether activities such as driver
education and competitive sports
should not be the responsibility
of the schools, whether students
should receive credit for part-time
work experience or volunteer
work done in the community,
whether schools should provide
more emphasis on vocational
education, whether schools
should allocate more resources to
the average student and less for
gifted, handi
disadvantaged,
should assume a
the cost of school
