By ELEANORA FEDENK CR 5-2774 ava 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.

(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.

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 reduce local special Setting of advisability of testing of students suggestions for local school included.
