PARENTS OF North Mason PeeWee boys braved the wind,
rain and, sometimes, snow to sell Christmas trees in the
Belfair parking lot to earn money for the newly organized
athletic program. Here Kathleen Landram (left) shows a tree
to a potential customer, Lu Fleury.
Christmas is truly a family
time and trains, planes and buses
are bringing absent family
members home.
Bret Person told me his best
Christmas present was the visit of
his brother Ross from California
who will spend the Holidays at
the family home in Island View.
Washington State University
students, Les Okonek, Joel Zehe
and Art Nicklaus arrived home
this week.
The Pettitt home was the
scene of the 4-H Christmas party.
The Soda-pops and Sew-and so's
met together to enjoy games and
refreshments and to sing
Christmas songs.
Debbie ttardie and Dana
Jackson were the prize winners in
the games and won Christmas
candy as their prize. From the
attractively decorated table the
senior leaders served punch,
candy and cookies, Mrs. Pettitt's
special banana bread, and a candy
cane was given to each member.
The children really enjoyed the
party and I am certain I am

By the time this is published
it will be time to say "MERRY
CHRISTMAS" and we do. For
weeks the gala sights and lights of
Christmas have been appearing on
our road (and elsewhere) paling
into insignificance even the
ghastly mercury vapor lights. We
have even had a pre-white
Christmas, for many a hopeful
sign of more to come and for
some, enough.
Last week-end, cold and
drizzly, we noted that not a single
camper or trailer was week-ending
at Belfair State Park. However, as
we passed the park entrance we
noticed a lone hiker with full
pack entering the park. it was
later confirmed by Mrs. Ben
Hemstreet that they did have an
overnight back packer. It was
probably not much worse than
some summer nights we have
spent in the Olympics.
An unhappy item for any
time: A Christmas card from Roy
Schram in Vancouver, Wash.,
informed us of the death of his
wife, Merle, October 1. The
Schrams lived in the Port of Allyn
rental house in 1968-69. and were
good and friendly neighbors. We
are all much saddened by the
news.
Dorothy (Mrs. Franz)Miller,
only sister of Irene Middleton of
the North Shore, died of a heart

attack December 12. She was a
frequent visitor and had many
friends here.
Mike Shirk is reported to be
home for the holidays from basic
training in the Air Force in Texas.
The North Shore Birthday
Club met December 7 at Sandy
McKaig's house to celebrate three
December birthdays - her own
and those of Eliza Stites and
daughter-in-law Alice Stites. The
triple birthday cake was made and
decorated by Lenna Fortman.
Two happy birthdays occur in
the Alan Sande family this
month. Ron was 17 on the 12th
and Alan, Jr., will be 19 on the
24.
The North Shore Sewing Club
(a separate organization from the
Sewing Bee) met oil the 14th at
Lillian Hankinson's and engaged
in miscellaneous stitchery.
Dr. Joseph Ralkowski,
Bremerton dentist and amateur
airman, has moved his family
from the North Shore to a new
home in East Bremerton near his
dental clinic. Their new and larger
house accommodates the growing
needs of the three Ralkowski
daughters, Kathy, Debbie and
Mary.

say "Thank You," Mr. and Mrs.
Lon Pettitt, for all you do for and
with and the time you give to our
youngsters.
Shelton Junior High School
presented a most enjoyable
program Thursday evening with a
play from the Drama Department
and several songs from the Choir
group.
The Mason County Park and
Recreation Board had their
regular meeting _on Monday
evening at the Courthouse in
Shelton. (I missed the meeting
because of a dead battery) Evalyn
Stifling togk minutes for me and
sent me the latest information.
The Mason County
Recreation Association has
twenty-five acres on John's Prairie
and plans have been drawn for a
concession stand, football and
baseball fields. They plan'to build
a sports facility that could be of
use to people of all ages. The Park
and Recreation Board has gone on
record with an offer of help in
any way they can.
A multi-purpose building is
presently under construction and
will contain the concession stand,
restrooms, showers, lockers and
meeting rooms for local groups.
When the entire complex is
completed there will also be
tennis courts, soccer and softball
fields, bicycle trails, horseshoe
pits and a picnic area. We are
fortunate indeed to have such a
group of concerned citizens
working so hard for all the
children of this area.
The Olympic Clam Company
of Allyn was the featured story of
a Nantions Trade magazine and
the cover was a picture of Dan
and Lai'ry in diving suits and a
story inside with additional
pictures Dan took underwater of
Larry harvesting geoducks.
The children and teachers of
the Grapeview school worked
very hard on the program for the
Christmas party held at the school
and the good mothers as Santa's
helpers have been shopping and
wrapping gifts (this is one of the
news items Lou has warned me
about. I am writing this on
Thursday and the party will be
held next week.) This is really the
most important party of the year
in Grapeview and I certainly want
to mention the work and planning
that is going on right now.
Mr. and Mrs. Gary Bamnick
and family have moved into their
new home on the Grapeview road.
The new home was opened to
guests when the ladies of the
luncheon club met for a
Christmas buffet.
Not many towns have the
distinction of having every public
building in town bright with xmas
lights but we do with every
building beautifully decorated.

"If a book is in the region, it's
in your local library," said Mrs.
Louise Morrison, director of
Timberland Regional Library.
And she added, "Patrons are
finding this out, as more and
more people throughout the
region make use of the district's
central request service."
According to Mrs. Morrison,
patron requests for books and
reference services received in the
central service department in
Lacey were up 35 per cent over
those received this time la.st year.
In November 1971, these
requests totaled 4089. November
1970 requests were 2688. Of the
4089 requests, 3615 were for
books; 314 were for answers to
reference questions; and 160 were
for magazine articles, phonograph
records and other items.
b
"The central request service
was devised to give patrons ready
access to books throughout the
region," she explained. "This
method also keeps more books in
use because they are not left on
the shelf of one library when they
are needed elsewhere.
People are discovering they
receive their books must/faster
now, because as soon as our
central services staff locates a
book anywhere in the region it is
mailed directly to the patron."

PICTURES WITH A Christmas motif were painted on the windows at North
Mason High School by some of the students last week to put everyone in a
holiday mood. (The painters were even heard to be singing carols as they
worked.)

This year's Christmas concert
was held last Thursday in the
gym. It was presented in the
afternoon so that all of the Jr.
and Sr. High students could see it
and kind of a dress rehersal for all
the performers who had never
gone through the whole program
together before.
Everything went well
considering it was the first time
through although some of the
performers were VERY nervous.
It was presented again in the
evening for the public to attend.
No admission was charged so that
it could be the school's Christmas
present to the community.
Last Thursday was also the
debate at South Kitsap at which
our school participated. Most of
the members of the debate team
went to represent our school.
All Seniors planning on
applying for financial aid from
any of the four year schools in
the state should get a financial aid
information request form from
Mr. Hawkins as soon as possible.
This is not the application for
financial aid but the request that
is sent to the school you are
planning on attending for the
application for the financial aid
form from their school.
It is now past mid-quarter. To
many that fact has no special
significance but to others it means
poor work slips are out and all of
the other horrible things that go
with getting a poor work slip.
A National School Assembly
was scheduled for last Wednesday
but it was not held because the
performer who was to be there
never showed up. Angela Golette
was to present a program of
different types of songs but her
mother died and she flew to
where she was, thereby cancelling
all of the programs that she had
planned.
The Lettermen sponsored the
Donkey Basketball game with one
of the highlights being the game
between the GAA and the
Lettermen. Of course the girls did
the best, aren't girls always
better?
The Talent Club is planning a
talent show for some time in
January. Anyone who would like
to join is welcome. The club
needs all the talent it can get.
The GAA Tolo was held last
Saturday. Everyone enjoyed
themselves who went (25
couples). The chaperones we, re
Mr. and Mrs. Ulberg, Mr. and Mrs.
Thurston, Mr. and Mrs.
Schillinger, and Miss Smith• The
GAA would like to thank
everyone who worked on the tolo
and gave special thanks to the
chaperones.
The school is getting into the
holiday spirit with some of the
students painting on the windows.
Many different pictures are going
up this year, you know, Santa
Claus, Christmas trees, holly
wreaths, things like that. Of
special not'ice is the angel on the
office window, Frances ('ornell
(with the help of some of the
other people in the office)
painted it along with a snowman
and some other figures.
Everyone is very busy getting
ready for Christmas and since we
get out early tomorrow -
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
