OCTOBER 1970
Sale of lots at Riverhill were underway, a new local development
planned to attract permanent families rather than summer residents.
Booker's Bazaar, used book shop sun by North Mason Friends of
the Library, was closed permanently.
A four-party camping trip at Belfair State Park was interrupted by
the murder of one of the campers, a 33-year-old woman from Florida.
One of her traveling companions was arrested on a 2nd degree murder
charge.
What turned out to be the last Homecoming caravan held by North
Mason ran into trouble from beginning to end; two accidents involving
caravan cars resulted in over $3,000 in damages and a local youth was
arrested on an assault charge for hitting a high school student over the
head with a club during the caravan.
Joey Johnson, local Boy Scout, received his Eagle rank.
An announcement was made by owner Bill Griffith that the Belfair
Barn, formerly a cow barn and a well-known dance hall, would be
turned into an apartment house.
Belfair Pack Rats and sheriff's deputies searched all night for a
62-year-old Japanese man who was lost overnight in the area while
hunting mushrooms. He was found early the next morning, wet and
cold, but safe.
NOVEMBER 1970
A $100,000 bond issue to build a new furehall with "a large room to
be used as a community hall" for Belfair Fire District passed with 61
percent approval and was validated by Ken Gilbert, state supervisor of
elections, despite numerous complaints about the election. Over 100
persons on North Shore were unable to vote on the issue because not
enough ballots were furnished to that precinct; others were kept from
voting because out-of-date maps had been furnished election officials
and new areas added to the fire district were not shown. Irregularities in
Fire District 5, where a bond issue failed, were also noted due to
hard-to-read maps which prevented some eligible voters from voting on
the issue. The county auditor and prosecutor attended the November
meeting of Belfair f'fie commissioners where a large crowd asked
questions about the election irregularities. Later in the month a
citizen's suit was filed against the auditor and the Belfair fire
commissioners to invalidate the election because the issue had passed
by only four votes and the outcome could have been different if 129
persons unable to vote when they went to the polls had voted.
Christmas trees were being baled by boys at Mission Creek Youth
Camp to be sent to servicemen in Vietnam.
About 100 Grapeview School District residents turned out for a
meeting to learn about an upcoming ballot issue where they would be
asked to participate in the funding of a new high school in Shelton.
A petition was presented to North Mason School Board asking for
reinstatement of the hot lunch program on a self-sustaining basis; the
lunch program had been cut due to levy failure in the spring. Two hours
of discussion on the subject ensued with the superintendent instructed
to take a survey to find out how many would buy lunches at a higher
sel f-sustMnAng price.
DECEMBER 1970
Belfair Fire District's bond election held in November was declared
null and void by Judge Frank E. Baker following a trial in Mason
County Superior Court brought about by a citizen's suit.
Commissioners of the district said they would resubmit the issue to
voters. The judge's decision stated that his opinion was not based on
the fact that the outcome could have been different if those deprived of
their right to vote had voted; that it was based on the fact that some
citizens were barred from their right to vote "and this is a violation of
the State constitution." Three citizens involved in the suit, Carol
Wentlandt and Mr. and Mrs. Leo Livingston, promised to contact as
many voters as possible to make sure the next election didn't fail for
hick of enough voters turning out.
Delineator lights were installed at Beard's Curve after a campMgn by
the Bclfair Chamber of Commerce to have the state highway
department do something to cut down the number of accidents there.
The chamber was also working to have the main highway in Belfair
widened and a left-turn lane installed at the north end of town.

'75 Christmas seals feature children's art
Have you noticed something
different about this year's
Christmas Seals? This year's seals
were designed by grade school
students throughout the United
States.
Editor's note: They look like
colorful replicas of the ads in the
Journal and Herald, drawn by
fifth grade students, in this
newspaper's annum Christmas
issue.
The seal representing the
State of Washington was pMnted
by Carla Erickson, a 7th grade
student from Bellevue. Her
painting, depicting carolers, was
selected from hundreds of entries
submitted by students throughout
the state to the American Lung
Association in December 1973.
The seals may look different,
but they still carry the same
message, according to Melinda
Gauley, program associate for the
Washington Lung Association•
That message is that Christmas
Seals lead the fight against all lung
diseases. Donations from
Christmas Seals continue to
provide various services in Mason
County.
One of these services is the
ongoing KICH program (smoking
cessation clinics), to help
residents of Mason County kick
their cigarette habit. The lung
association also makes available
quit kits for people who want an
extra bit of help to quit smoking.
Breathing rehabilitation
clinics, sponsored by the lung
association offer an opportunity
for persons with disabling lung
disease to live a more comfortable
and productive life.
If you would like more
information on how Christmas
Seals work for you, or if you have
not already received your
Christmas Seals, contact the
Washington Lung Association,

Life and Breath."
