New residents of the South
Shore are Captain and Mrs. L. A.
Seamier, USA Air Force retired.
Formerly of Escanaba, Michigan,
the Semmlers have rolled up a
great travel record since then.
"It always seemed whenever
a new base was opened, we were
sent there," said Mrs. Seamier.
"But it is a wonderful way of
seeing tile other side of the
world. To mention a few places,
we've spent time in Tripoli,
Okinawa, Casablanca and
Turkey.
"In Michigan, we knew .the
changing of the seasons and
enjoyed rather mild winters
because we lived at the north
edge of Lake Michigan," she
said. "As soon as the lake froze
- the boat channel never froze
- we seemed to escape the
excessive low temperatures.
"Although nay husband was a
service career man, at one time
he did have a building contract

The American Field Service,
a volunteer organization whose
stated purpose is fostering
understanding among people by
offering assistance for students
studying here and abroad, has
requested North Mason High
School to assess interest in
beginning an American Field
Service Club in the Belfair area.
The purpose of the club is to
be the local organization that
raises funds to offset the cost of
studying in another country and
also locating host families in the
area. Interested individuals are
asked to contact Mr. Haugen at
the high school, 2'75-2811.

would be the right time to move
in, he was surprised to find four
feet of snow on the ground," she
said. "But we loved Alaska, I
spent several summers in
Fairbanks where our son was
stationed.
"Turkey was one of the best
places for its history, it is a very
ancient country and Biblical
stories are abundant. You see,
Turkey to me means that every
little mound of dirt you might
want to dig is just one layer atop
other layers of civilizations
before our time," Mrs. Semmler
explained. "We lived in Ephesus,
a village that existed before
Christ was on earth, and it is
found in the Bible.
"Near us was the old road
that is so recorded in the Bible
to be the one to Damascus. An
ancient university of that time
still stands and now is used for
the study of medicine. Native
people of the area feel deep
reverence for their country," she
said. "If they start to dig a
foundation and find any type of
human bones, they will never use
the ground.
"It is said that John the
Baptist and the mother of Jesus
traveled here after the
crucifixion. She later died in a
dwelling up in the hills," said
Mrs. Semmler. "About twenty
years ago, a young priest who
was not of the village, dreamed
of the place. His search ended
there. Although he found the
roof caved in, the room where

By IRENE DAVIS
Redistricting of our state's
legislative and congressional
districts was the discussion
subject of the North Mason
League of Woman Voter's
Unit-at-Large meeting the
morning of November 16 in the
Belfair Baptist Church Fireside
Room.
Members Cleo Parker and
Phyllis Bannister reviewed the
history and some of the
problems of redistricting and
reapportionment.
The state constitution,
written in 1889, requires
reexamination of district
boundaries every five years, yet
the legislature has not found it
possible to redistrict itself
voluntarily since 1910.
The League of Women
Voters of Washington first
became active in the push to
redistrict on the basis of
population as a result of their
election procedures and
redistricting studies in 1953 and
1954. By court order,
redistricting was accomplished in
1966 and 1972.
Over the past 25 years the
League of Women Voters, as well
as the Association of University
Women, and other concerned
citizen groups, have supported
initiatives and lobbied for
automatic redistricting on the
basis of population.
The league's position is, in
part, "Both houses of the state
legislature should be apportioned
substantially on population.

ear about redistricting
Districts should be convenient
and contiguous, and specific
standards for fair representation
should be assured. The
responsibility for redistricting
and reapportioning should rest
with an agency independent of
the legislature. Machinery should
be provided to effect automatic,
compulsory, periodic redistricting
and reapportioning. The state
should be redistricted and
reapportioned every ten years as
soon as possible after taking of
the census."
There is increased interest in
redistricting at this time, partly
due to the Republican-Demo-
cratic balance in the legislature.
Both parties at their 1978
Washington state conventions
included the topic in their party
platforms. There have been shifts
in population within the state
and rapid growth in some
counties, including Mason
County.
Special guest at the North
Mason League of Women Voter's
meeting was Mary Ellen Madison,
North Kitsap resident and
member of the DWV State
League Board, as well as
consultant for the units-at-large.
Principal difference between
full-fledged local and county
leagues and units-at-large, such as
ours, is that units-at-large have
less than 50 members, have less
formal organization at the unit
level, and members receive their
study materials directly from the
state league office.
The North Mason unit meets
monthly, usually the third
Thursday morning, and is
primarily a study group. Men
may join and fully participate,
and several do. It is non-profit
and non-partisan. The league
