two tests
at Port District
A dye test made by the
Thurston-Mason County Health
Department at the North Shore
house owned by Allyn Port
district showed no pollution of
the beach, it was learned form
Port Commissioner Harold
Hillman last week. The test had
been made previous to the Dec. 1
meeting of the Port Commission,
but the announcement of the test
and results was missed by this
reporter and was not included in
last week's story on the meeting.
Results of this test conflicted
with reported results of a second
test run by neighbors of the Port
property, who reported at the
meeting that the dye had shown
up almost immediately in the
Canal.
"Although we were given the
go-ahead to rent the property as
is, with complete approval of the
sewage system by the Health
Dept., we felt the conflicting
results warranted a new system,
just to be sure," said Hillman. The
commissioners had voted to put
in a new septic tank and drain
field at the meeting.
The test by the Health
Department was made by flushing
the dye down the toilet,
according to Hillman. In checking
with Commissioner Leo
Livingston, who was present at
the second test made by him and
Jay Campbell, both owners of
property adjacent to the Port
property, they, too, used the
toilet for their tests.
A further explanation of who
tested the sewer drains of the Port
of Allyn house on the North
Shore is given by Leo Livingston,
newly-elected Port Commissioner.
"The Health Department
never made a conclusive
inspection of the sewer system,"
Livingston reported after a Friday
visit to the Sanitarian's office in
Shelton.
"Derry Suther, a sanitarian,
told me that he accompanied Bill
Dennis, the real estate agent for
the port, to the port's house. Mr.
Suther said he didn't have time
that day to wait to observe the
results of a dye test. He said since
the house had been vacant and
the sewage system unused for
several months, he felt it would
take a long time for any possible
seepage of the dye to show.
"He therefore furnished Mr.
Dennis with some dye. He left
Dennis to observe the results of
the dye test. Dennis subsequently '
reported that the result of the test
was negative.
"Suther said that a low tide or
other circumstances might have
prevented the dye from making
an appearance when Dennis tested
the system."
Livingston and Jay Campbell,
whose properties adjoin the port's
house, subsequently made a dye
test last month during a high low
tide.
"We knew exactly where the
sewer outfall was on the beach as
we had observed it discharging
sewage last summer. It was so
obvious that a dye test wasn't
really necessary... We put dye in
the toilet, flushed it twice, and
got a spectacular discharge of
green that colored a good portion
of Pleasant Cove."
Livingston said he will show
colored pictures of the dye test at
the next meeting of the Port
Commission, Jan. 5, 8 p.m. at the
Belfair Fire Hall.
Letter to the editor
Editor, Huckleberry Herald:
One of my weekly reading
pleasures after plunging through
the JOURNAL is to read your
comments and correspondence in
the HUCKLEBERRY HERALD.
This is a big help to me in
keeping track of activities
throughout areas of interest to
our Company.
Your latest column on the
"sisterhood" of the black and
white girls was especially good
writing and as an expression of
sensitivity to racial problems.

License plates were stolen off
a car at a residence on the Old
Belfair Highway December 12
according to a complaint received
by the Belfair Sheriff's office.
THERE WILL never be a
system invented which will do
away with the necessity for work.

Hi! h School News
The theme for this year's
GAA tolo is "Old-Fashioned Love
Song." The decorations will be
carried out in a predominantly
red and white color scheme. The
dance will be held from 8:30 p.m.
to 1 1:00 p.m. in the
Multi-purpose room at the new
elementary school building. Music
will be provided by Pitchblende, a
group from Shelton. Dress is
casual, no jeans.
An Honor Society field trip
had been planned for December 8
but due to weather conditions it
was cancelled. Tile plans for the
trip were to go to the Carling
Brewing Company, St. Regis
Paper Company, and Nalley
Valley. The next trip is being
planned for January 12 to the
Boeing 747 plant and Mariner
High School in Everett.
On December 9 an accident
occurred in the student parking
lot at the school. Mrs. Cokelet's
By RONA HARPER
new bus (B-1 1) slipped on the icy
pavement and slid down the hill
into Dale Van Slyke's El Camino.
The car suffered damage to the
right side and the bus had a
broken backup light. No one was
hurt in the accident and everyone
in the bus stayed pretty calm
while it was happening.
December 15 the Girls' Club
officers were scheduled to go to
South Kitsap to a luncheon and
fashion show. Girls' Club officers
from other schools in the area
were also invited. North Mason
will host a luncheon for other
schools in our area sometime in
March.
The Drill Team marched last
Friday during half-time at the
basketball game to music played
by the band. The band played the
theme from Patton and the Horse.
Everyone did a fine job.
A pep assembly was held last
Friday to celebrate our victory
and to get ready for the game fhat
night. The Freshmen won the
spirit keg and the cheerleaders
had Mr. Amick introduce the
wrestlers. When standing in line
they stretch the length of the
gym, that's how many of them
there are. Mr. Thurston also gave
a short talk on basketball.
This year's varsity
cheerleaders are Diane Shirk, Joni
Slagle, Kathie Johnson, Susie
Reynolds, Maria Schaeffer, and
Kay Schillinger. The Freshmen
cheerleaders are Karen Beeson,
Kim Beeson, Karen Schillinger,
and Cheri Yoest.

Directory this year with the

weather turned the water on the
pavement still deep in places, into
ice. It happened so suddenly that
no one was aware of the danger
until people started falling and
cars and buses started skidding.
After her bus came to rest
against the damaged car, Mrs.
Cokelet got out to go back and
survey the damage. She said she
couldn't walk on the slippery ice
so she sat down and slid to the
back of the bus.
One student who was seated
in the rear of the wayward bus
said the motor stalled when Mrs.
Cokelet was forced to stop so
abruptly and "everyone was
kidding her, saying things like
'Nice going, Mrs. Cokelet' when
all of a sudden the bus started
sliding and wouldn't stop. It was
sure scary."
It will probably be awhile
before they stop talking about the
morning the black ice came to
school.
the kids in the school. Candy Sills
put it together with help from
some other people. The cover is in
the school colors of blue and
white with a big "NM" in blue.
This will be a lot of help for
students trying to call other
students when they don't know
the parents name.
A Donkey Basketball game
will be held in the gym December
21 at 7:30 p.m. Teachers will be
riding the furry little beasts and
trying to play basketball from
there.
December 23 the Senior High
will be dismissed at 1:00 for
Christmas vacation. School will
resume January 3 at 8:00 a.m. as
usual much to the dismay of
everyone who wishes that
vacation would last a lot longer
before we would have to go back.
One more week to Christmas
vacation...

Guests found time to visit during Happy Hour.
Christmas party
held by Chamber
Forty persons, including
members, husbands, wives and
guests, turned out for the
Christmas party put on by Belfair
Chamber of Commerce on
Wednesday evening of last week.
Following a Happy Hour
(called at Attitude Adjustment
Hour by program chairman
Evalyn Stirling) those in
attendance served themselves
from a heavily laden buffet table
prepared by Earl and Mary Owens
of Belfair Cafe.
"Antoines in New Orleans
could not have set a more
attractive table nor served more
tasty food," commented one
member.
After a short business meeting
in which members voted to
donate $25 towards paying off
the cost of Belfair's Youth
Center, musical entertainment
was provided by Bill Griffith,
Chamber president, and Tex
Stifling, the "singing bartender."
Community singing of Christmas
songs and some old favorites was
also part of the program.
