Public notice: Our sign is
down and, alas, our Booker's Art
calendars are all gone. We barely
had one left for ourselves.
However, it was a most successful
and gratifying project and we are
looking forward to a new and
better calendar next year.
Earl Lincoln, North Shore
contractor, has applied to the
Mason County Planning
Commission for approval of a new
plat on the North Shore. Called
Little Mission Creek Tracts, the
plat will have 19 lots and is
bordered on the southwest by
Little Mission Creek. The plat was
approved by the Commission and
will be considered by the County
Commission at an early date.
Grace Hunt of Terra Linda
has been in Harrison Memorial
ttospital for minor surgery. She
was visited this week by Ada

her various activities soon.
The Tahuya Homemakers,
including many North Shore
women, held their November

Handicapped may
get library service
£here are many persons living
in the Timberland Library
district, who because of physical
disabilities, blindness, sickness,
the handicaps of age, and for
other reasons, cannot come to the
library for service. Through Social
Security funding, it may be
possible for the library district to
receive partial matching funds to
provide books, special services
and other library materials for
these people.
Although the library now
serves many nursing home
residents, as well as persons who
are confined to their homes, Mrs.
Elizabeth Gatlin, North Mason
community librarian, said they
need names and addresses of
others who would benefit from
this service if they were known to
the library.
Anyone can help. Mrs. Gatlin
has asked persons to telephone
the North Mason Library at
275-6244, or visit the library or
bookmobile if they know of
anyone (it might be a relative,
friend, neighbor, or acquaintance)
who meets the following
qualifications:
(1) Persons 60 years of age or
older who are receiving public
assistance; or potential recipients
of public assistance. (2) Blind or
visually handicapped persons over
16 who need either talking books
or large print books. (3) Those
persons permanently or
temporarily disabled, of any age.
(4) Families receiving aid to
dependent children - both
children under age 18 and
parents. (5) Nursing home
residents.
STOLEN CAR FOUND
A dark green Oldsmobile
belonging to John Hanson of Port
Orchard, which was stolen from
the Belfair area the night of
November 18, was recovered in
the Bremerton area the following
day after having been involved in
an accident. Driver of the car was
not identified to enable officers
to make an arrest. The case is
being investigated by both Mason
County and Kitsap County
officials.
GETTING ACQUAINTED
Mrs. Anne Thorton, North
Mason's kindergarten teachers, is
a graduate of the University of
Puget Sound. She has been
teaching in the district 8 years.

Here's a progress report on
Mr. Ervin Furchert's condition.
He had surgery for the fractured
left arm last week, and has been
moved to the new sector of
Harrison Hospital to room 202
West. He is better, but his stay in
the hospital will be for sometime.
Paul Furchert is driving the trucks
to keep the oil business going as
usual.
Mrs. Dorothy Spangler and
Mrs. Izetta Dean of the Belfair
Community Church Ladies Circle,
took over the kitchen to serve the
November luncheon for the Red
Cross board meeting at the
Kitsap-North Mason Chapter.
These two ladies proved that
North Mason can do anything
better, and proved it with an
eye-filling tasty salad and
homemade pumpkin pie.
Mrs. R. S. Havens had her
mail delivered with a bang last
Monday. Tally Jones had just
handed her the mail and was
checking with his helper Ted
Gierke for mail for the next mail
box, when their mail car was
involved in an accident with
another car. Mrs. Havens had just
turned around when she heard the
impact, and there both cars were
beside her in the ditch and
practically in the Haven's yard.
She said she would have been the
center of attention if she had
crossed the road at that point.
Upon the impact, the men in the
car were worried as to where she
was walking and held on to the
brakes so the car wouldn't hit her.
As it was near 5:00 p.m. and the
evening traffic rush, another car
almost became involved in the
wreckage and had to go into a
skid across the nearby lawn to
avoid joining the wreckage.
Problems involved were lots of
broken glass on the highway, with
bumps, scratches, and a severe
shaking up for everyone
con cerned. The mailman's car
looks quite lonesome behind
Buck's Mobil station.
The shortened hours of
daylight give reason to watch
closely for the Christmas Tree
trucks as well as the late
afternoon mail delivery. Watch
out for Mr. Jones on the mail run
if you want to keep those cards
and letters coming.
The Union River
Homemakers' meeting was held at
the new home of Mrs. Martha
Broussard. The agenda included a
review of the handicraft items
planned for the annual Holiday
Show, and a guest speaker from
Puget Sound Power to
demonstrate timely tips of using
the mixes for holiday goodies.
Each member was given a booklet
showing new methods for fruit
cakes, cookies and candies. Mrs.
Merle Nile was welcomed as a new
nember of the group.
Mrs. Les Pederson realized a
state of family confusion with her
two nieces becoming mothers on
the same day and each having a
set of twins. With no history of
twins on this side of the family,
the happy event could be an item
for Ripley's Believe It Or Not.
Congratulations to all of you.
Happy birthday to Jean
Fedenk on reaching that special
age bracket of 16 years on
December 5.
"Getting To Know You" was
the theme for the neighborhood
gathering at the Fedenk home last
Thursday. The sniffles and virus
bugs played hovac with some of
those planning to attend but
those in good health had a ball.
Mrs. Helen Dewey was the
prizewinner of a cookbook in the
novel game that had each of the
ladies asking questions about
home, family, and lakes. Those
attending were Mesdames Ruth
Lumley, B. J. Dimmen, Helen
Dewey, Mary Washburn, Vivian
Bier, Marie Broetje, Bessie
Kaemmle, Katie Stoner, Wilma
Just, and Mary Hulbert.
For those who called to say
they were ill, best wishes that you
have a quick recovery and are able
to enjoy the holiday.
The silver wedding
anniversary of Mr. and Mrs.
"Louie" Fortner was supposedly
to be celebrated by their being
dinner guests-of Karen and Jeff
Fortner. A family discussion on
the way to dinner brought up a
trumped-up need to return to
home base where the couple was
greeted by guests gathered for a
surprise party. A champagne toast
for the special day of days was
enjoyed by all.
The refreshment table was
centered with a tiered wedding
cake, that had a topping of large
candles forming the number
"25". After the gifts were opened
and the cake served, the honored
guests were then taken to dinner
by Karen and Jeff.
Here's another birth to
announce. Chaquite, our striped
tabby cat that thinks she is a dog,
is a bit uncertain of her status on
becoming the mother of six
kittens in the early hours of
November 18. There is no doubt
that this is not earth-shaking
news, but the expectant mother
decided this should be a family
affair and moved into MY bed
and under the blankets before the
true situation was uncovered.
Anyone want a kitten in about six
weeks?
KEYS LOST
A set of keys on a keyring
were lost in the Sunset Beach area
on November 17 according to a
deputy of the Sheriff's local
office.

Editor's note: Today's column is a repeat of one published in Oct.
1969.
When my children were small 1 bought a notebook in which to
record their funny sayings. Eventually, the book was put to other uses
because, even with five children, none ever came up with anything
funny enough to jot down.
At family gatherings, however, my sister Nan would usually have us
laughing heartily at something one of her two boys had come up with.
1 was present when her eldest son, Kent, had us in hysterics with a
comment.
My sister worked as a demonstrator in supermarkets, occasionally,
on weekends, handing out food samples. One day as she and 1 and our
mother and Kent, who was nine at the time, were going somewhere by
car, Nan told us about an experience she'd had the week before while
on a job.
She had set up a small table between two aisles, facing the front of
the store, where she was busily frying small cube steaks in her electric
fry pan. She had packages of steaks piled on the table, as well as
toothpicks and paper plates for passing out the samples. All of a sudden
a small boy pushing his parent's shopping cart ran down the aisle
behind her and ran right into her, knocking her and the table over into
one big mess on the floor.
The boy's parents came up, grabbed the boy's hand and went off
with the cart: with no apology nor offer of help and no rebuke to the
child.
Mother and I were outspoken about their behavior: 1 said what 1
would have done to the boy if he had been one of mine and Mother
was outraged that the father hadn't at least helped Nan up to make sure
she was not hurt.
After we'd gone on for a few minutes, Kent, visibly upset by his
mother's experience, in an indignant voice exclaimed, "At least they
could have smiled as they went by!"
It was usually Erik, the younger boy, though who came up with the
gems.
When he was about four he thought his older brother, age seven,
could do no wrong. Anything Kent did, Erik had to do the same. If
Kent liked something, Erik liked it: if Kent hated something, Erik
hated it.
One night Nan decided to serve oysters for dinner. She and her
husband, Bert, liked them and when last she'd had them over a year
ago, Kent had loved them but Erik couldn't stand them.
When Kent found out oysters were on the menu that night, he
happily cried, "Oh, boy! I love them! .... Oh, boy, I love them" echoed
Erik, too young to remember his previous encounter with them.
At the dinner table Nan watched Erik out of the corner of her eye
to see his reaction. Would he eat them even though he didn't like them just
to prove that his tastes were the same as his brothers'?
However, it never dawned on Eric that he wouldn't like what Kent
liked. His expectant face turned to one of horror as he chewed the first
bite and he complained, "Ooh! I got a rotten one'."
Mark Duncan, 14-year old
president of the student body at
North Mason Upper Elementary
School, is home from Harrison
Hospital recuperating from a
freak hunting accident which
occurred Sunday morning,
November 14 near the family's
North Shore home. His family
will have good reason for special
thanks this Thanksgiving that
Mark was one of the lucky ones.
Mark's father, Lou Duncan,
had removed the safety catch on
his 300 Magnum hunting rifle
shortly before he tripped and fell
causing the accidental discharge
of his rifle which shot a bullet
into the receiver of his son's 12
gauge shotgun. Shrapnel from the
splintered part of the shotgun
wounded the youth who was
taken to Harrison Hospital by his
parents.
Subsequent surgery removed
most of the shrapnel from the
boy's body. He also had received
superficial wounds of hands and
thighs from shrapnel and
splinters.
His mother expressed thanks
last Friday, upon Mark's return
home, to all who helped during
their ordeal. She reported that
Mark was in go ~d spirits and
hopes to return ~o school next
Monday.

The Belfair Library may be
moved to the "Y" intersection of
the Allyn and South Shore roads.
An offer of 3/4 acre for a new
library building site has been
made by Alan Logan and Hugh
Campana, who are developing a
new shopping center on a ten acre
site on Belfair's south side.
The offer was made at the
annual meeting of the Friends of
the Library in Belfair November
16. The proposal was the first
development in the long sought
objective of a separate library
building.
The move of the library to the
shopping center is dependent
upon the approval of the Board of
Trustees of the Timberland
Regional Library which funds the
local library and supplies the
books.
Mrs. Louise E. Morison,
Timberland Director, who was
present at the meeting last week,
said that it may be possible to
take advantage of the offer by
moving in a portable library
building with a minimum of
5,000 books and increased
service. A later permanent
building could be funded by the
STRIPPED CAR
A car which turned out to
have been reported stolen from
Bremerton was found stripped in
a secluded spot on a back road in
the Shoe Lake-Tee Lake Area of
the Tahuya Peninsula according
to a report filed in the Belfair
office of the Sheriff's department
November 15.
5-county library system and by
local interests.
in order to meet the terms of
the gift the library must be moved
into the new location within a
specified time limit and to
establish a structure and service
which will be compatablc with
the shopping center.
Logan said that the new
shopping center would include a
grocery store and other shops.
The library site will be in a
prominent location.
Other business transacted at
the meeting was the annual
election of officers. New officers
for the coming year are: Margaret
Livingston, president; Maxine
Morse, vice-president; Sharon
McKnight, secretary; and Irene
Davis, treasurer.
Maxine Morse made a final
report on the successful
completion of the Booker's Art
Calendar project.
Early day history of
Grapeview to be heard
Grapeview's past, the days
when it was called Detroit, the
days before there was a bridge to
Stretch Island, will be recalled by
Anne Eacrett of Stretch Island at
the December meeting of the
local Historical Society.
Long-time residents of the
Grapeview area are especially
invited to attend to add any
favorite memories or tales they
have heard.
Mrs. Eacrett, who is the
daughter of the late Walt Eckert
of Grapeview who spent most of
his over-90 years of life on
Stretch Island, where he was
brought as a young boy before
the turn of the century, will
combine her own memories of her
youthful years in the area with
stories learned from her father.
The meeting will be held
Thursday, December 2, in the
Fireside room of Belfair
Community Baptist Church at 8
p.m. All Historical Society
meetings are open to the public.
Boy injured
A 16-year old Bremerton
youth was injured November 21
in the DeWatto area while fishing
with another youth. Glenn
Tostenrude picked up an article
which he spotted in the DeWatto
River and it exploded in his hand.
He believes it was a blasting cap.
The two boys walked to the
road and passersby took them to
Harrison Hospital in Bremerton
where the boy's left hand was
operated on. His mother reported
Monday that he lost part of one
finger and another finger is not
functioning correctly but they
hope therapy will bring it back to
normal.
