HOODSPORT - A warm
welcome home to the Hood Canal
country goes out this week to
Eugene Avey who arrived home
late Wednesday night after
fulfilling his teaching contract as a
vocational coordinator at the
Truk High School in the East
Caroline Islands.
Six-hundred and fifty
students attend the Truk High
School with the student's ages
ranging from 13 to 34 years. In
fact the highest ranking student
on the honor roll was a 24 year
old man with seven children.
Americanization must also be
catching on in the Truk High
School. It seems the students
went on strike for several days,
protesting the school lunches and
discipline problems.
When Avey returned to Truk
for the new school year, his close
friend, Gene Rodgers had quite a
surprise for him. While Rodgers
was vacationing in Hang Kong
this past summer, he picked up a
copy of the Hang Kong daily
English newspaper. There in the
rns
rom
Island and Mr. Avey's dark suntan
can well attest to that. However
along with summer also comes the
drought and water has to be
rationed. Being short on water is
only one of the problems facing
the Micronesians. There is also a
food shortage. Typhoon Amy
which struck the Islands last
spring damaged crops and caused
food spoilage. Then the dock
strikes came, stranding 30,000
people who were depending on
the outside market. So now if one
is fortunate enough to even find a
cigarette to sustain his habit, he
had better plan on paying a dollar
a pack.
On Avey's flight home, the
aircraft made a stop-over at
Majuro in the Marshall Islands.
The town people all came out and
struck up the band as the
passengers disembarked from the
aircraft. Now, thought Avey, this
is really a royal greeting for a
small town man. Come to find
out though, the U.S. Ambassador
for the U.S. Trust Territory was
also aboard the same aircraft.
There "may have not been a

could get over the mountains. The
remainder of the trip went well
and Gene will be home for a while
now as he will be teaching in
Bremerton during the winter
quarter. Then it will be back to
Ellensburg, with graduation in the
spring.
The Tiny Tim Orthopedic
Guild would like to extend its
thanks to the community for the
support given them at the Bazaar
and Holiday Bake Sale. The
afghan given as a door prize at the
bazaar was won by Start
Johnston. The Saturday bake sale
gave customers a chance to get all
their holiday cookies, candies and
fruit breads without standing over
a hot stove or cleaning up a messy
kitchen. The gift wrapped bake
sale items also made very
attractive Christmas gifts.
Mrs. Lewis Atkins was
showered with baby gifts at a
party given at Mrs. Frank Gray's
home, with Mrs. Andrew Scott
assisting. Sixteen guests and baby
Scotty were present at the
program presented by the Hood
Canal Community Church. Little
children participated with
recitations while the older
children joined into songs.
Richard Bates directed the
Junior Choir which was
accompanied by Becky Bates at
the piano. The sixteen member
young peoples choir was directed
by Richard Endicott and
accompanied by Mrs. Endicott at
the piano and Lands Gustafson on
the guitar.
Week-end guests at Mr. anc
Mrs Frank Grays home were
Barbara's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
William A. Hays and Barbara's
sister Mrs. Judy Christensen and
two children.
A Christmas Party for the
Hoodsport Ranger District was
hosted by Mr. and Mrs. John
Perkins at their home Friday
evening. Lots of food and dancing
made for an enjoyable evening.
Mrs. James Reeder accompanied
the group as they sang Christmas
carols, then she set the piano a
shower. A life history resume of jumpin' with her original tunes
Connie Atkins was read then the dedicated to individuals present.

will go caroling along the
businesses in Hoodsport and up
Finch Creek road Wednesday
evening. Mrs. Bev Inman will treat
the girls to hot chocolate after
they complete their rounds.
The Hood Canal Jr. High
School Christmas Dance was held
Friday evening in the School
of Bill Archer. Also performing
was the newly organized guitar
group.
The twenty-nine member
choir was accompanied by
Rhonda Endicott, Jayni Hunter
and Becky Bates at the piano.
Many of the students performed
in each group as they are
permitted to participate in each at
school.
The fourth, fifth and sixth
graders stood atop a large tree
shaped platform. Dressed in
gymnasium. More than 90 greenery and lit up with red
students were present to dance to lights, they sang three Christmas
the music of the Pitch Blende
Band. David Farcy from Camp
Robbinswold is a member of this
five piece band.
The dance was sponsored by
the student body and girls league.
The girls provided tree and
snowman decorated cakes along
with cookies and punch. Santa
Claus was also present to have his
picture taken with the beautiful
girls in their long dresses and good
looking young men who had also
discarded their sweat shirts and
