S00ttl00 Slim J00ibe By HANNAH DEHLER 275-3512 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 in Vaidez, Alaska. Thinking May Club's formation sought to aid visiting students 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.

"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 MIMI CARR of the Oregon Shakespearean Festival in Ashland, Oregon, will perform at the North Mason High School library at 8 p.m. next Tuesday night. AlSo appearing will be Randy Schaub from the Shakespearean Festival. Ms. Carr appeared as Margaret in "Richard II1"; Beatrice in "The Effect of Gamma Rays On Man-In-The-Moon Marigolds" and the Widow in "Taming of the Shrew" for the festival's 1978 season. Mimi just completed her second year with the festival. In 1977 she appeared as Queen Margaret in "Henry VI, Part II1"; Chairmian in "Antony and Cleopatra"; Mrs. Malaprop in "The Rivals" and Mistress Overdone in "Measure for Measure." Women h 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. she had laid was in perfect • condition. Today it is a shrine t' yc,00ommull/t_..alendar, that thousands of people visit each year, and many crutches are left as proof of the healing power there."

Page 4 - Huckleberry Herald section at blelton-Mason County Journal - November 23, 1978 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.
