For l,ife and to beat cancer in
Mason County."
Information disseminated at
the kickoff gathering indicates
that the American Cancer So-
ciety has spent more than $3
billion on research since its
inception in the year after the
end of World War II and that
breakthroughs of the last 15
years have brought the U.S.
to the point where 66 percent
of people diagnosed with can-
cer survive the disease. This is
as compared to the one in four
who survived back in 1946. The
society says that today nearly
two-thirds of all cancer deaths
are preventable as a third are
caused by tobacco and a third
by health issues related to nu-
trition, exercise, obesity and
other lifestyle factors.
Dr. Gordy Klatt, a colorectal
surgeon in Tacoma, got things
started in May 1.985 when he
spent 24 hours circling the
track at Baker Stadium at the
University of Puget Sound. He
logged more than 8.3 miles and
throughout the night friends
paid $25 to run or walk 30 min-
utes with him. That inaugural
event raised about $27,000 to
fight cancer thanks to Klatt and
nearly 300 of his friends, thmily
and patients.
SINCE THEN, the Relay
has become a national phenom-
enon, with the first such event
in this county organized in 1999
by people in the Belfair area.
All told, events in Shelton and
Belfair have raised about $1.2
million for the American Can-
cer Society. For its size, Mason
County is one of the most pro-
ductive Relay communities in
the country.
"We have been in the top 10
several times in per capita giv-
ing. That's how great you guys
are," Hauge told the gathering.

Here's a bit of trivia to mull over
as you eat the potluck meal which
precedes the meeting. On Decem-
ber 14, 1903 the Wright Brothers
made their first attempt to fly their
airplane and crashed! They perse-
vered, repaired the craft and three
days later made their famous short
flight. If they had thrown in the
towel and quit when their plane
crashed history would have been
changed ... but only slightly. Just
about a century ago it was the time
to learn how to levitate and aviate
a heavier-than-air vehicle.
100Years Ago
From the December 13. 1907, Ma-
son County Journal:
Wm. Littlebrant has received a
large print of the Andersonville pris-
on, drawn from memory. As he was
there for several months it brings back
a period that the blackest future ever
prophesised cannot rival.
The Shelton tbot ballists will visit
Olympia Saturday to settle that little
matter of a tie with the Olympians on
Thanksgiving, and a bunch of rooters
will go up to help them win the game.
35 Years Ago
From the December 14, 1972, Shel-
ton-Mason County Journah
The Mason County Commission has
approved the county road construction
program for 1973. The largest project
is construction of the Stretch island
bridge on the Grapeview Road with an
estimated cost of $90,000, which will
come from $59,000 in federal aid sec-
ondary funds and $31,000 in county
road funds.
