Your news and GR 71 "0 U advertising phone number. All copy must be in Tuesday night for Thursday's Pointer. Sea Serpent Vague rumblings of sea serpents cavorting in Span:nvay Lake have been emanating from the shores of that aug11st body of \\'ater for &ome time. Then last week the Pointer had a report that a walleyed pike was snatched from those waters, only to be howled down by a raving mob of fishermen who declared a wall-eyed pike couldn't JJvg)n such turbulent, dragon-infested depths. Now comes forfh Fred Butts and Ken Kramer with the startling statement that they captured ;; serpent out of Spanaway's deep blue. The \'ery same skull of this monster, they s·ay, is now on display at the Target in Spanaway. Here is the nrbatim story of the capture: "We determined to go after one of those monsters that the old timers claimed were roaming bottom reaches of Spanaway Lake. After using a load of Target sea mo n s t e r bait as the lure we dropped in a line of 3/8 inch cable, using No. 20 piano wire for leader. Drifting near the south waterway fonr enormous s·trikes came at 0840 PST and we lit out for shore as the other encl of our line was hooked to the '41 Ford pickup. In the terrific struggle that followed the rear encl was torn out of the truck but we managed to lane! the brute. What a sight to behold! Lena the Hyena is a beauty in comparison. It was. a male (?) serpent 17'9" Jong weighing 993 lbs. It was too tough to handle whole so we dressed out the beast, and lo and behold in the stomach we found unc!iges·tec! cattle horns, two steel coyote traps and $4.75 in silver coins." That's their story, folks, and the boys placed the skull on display at the Target. And, friends, \i\Tin Hunt is giving a daily dramatic, unrehearsed story telling of this great capture. Yon should hear it.

DOG IS HERO AS HOME BURNS Family, Aroused By Barking, Escapes From Blaze; Animal Dies A faithful dog assumed the role of hero when fire destroyed the James· Brown home on .K street last Friday night. A large crowd of "fire watchers" gathered to view the spectacular blaze as it completely consumed the house and all of its contents. Jam es S. Brown, the father, bundled his . family together in such haste that his sole garment was a pair of trousers.: Mrs. Anne Brown, the mother, a night gown; and Eleanor, 7, Margie, 5, and ] erry, the little boy about twc:_ and one-half years old, were bunc!lec! in blankets.. An old car was salvaged. That any of the family is alive today is credited to old Bob, the aged dog, who roused the family by barking until smoke and flames in the kitchen silenced him forever. Mrs. Brown made a brave effort to get the old dog out of the kitchen. She smashed a window with her fist trying to provide an exit for the old fellow, but she only succeeded in severely cutting her arm. "I'll hear that old dog's cries to the clay I die," she told neighbors. Bob was· old and he was deafbut he could bark. Neighbors-the Steels and Bentleys-called the Parkland fire department. The volunteers responded with both of their trucks and the 1-l-M-L fire truck came over. There was little they could do. Handicapped by lack of fire hydrants, they rnallc three trips back for \\·ater. The loss was placed at $3,500 or more. Brown is ~ watchman at Columbia Breweries, Inc. Fire Chief Herb Jenness of the Parkland department received a bad burn on one hand while directing fir"c fighting operations.

Rural Mail Routes Considerable discussion has been going the rounds of the South End concerning a change of post offices for the originating point of the rural routes for this area. There is no apparent reason for starting the rural mail carriers at Fern Hill and having them travel more than a mile before delivering a piece of mail. According to old timers in these parts the mail routes covering the South End were at one time scheduled to start from Parkland. However, the man serving as postmaster at that time discouraged the plan because of the added work. A big disadvantage to these rural mail patrons is the long trip to Fern Hill to get packages and registered mail that is not delivered when the addressees are not at home. Business' firms lose a day mailing from one route to another because the mail goes from post offices in this area into Tacoma's main office and then is rerouted back to Pern Hill for delivery. There is also the fact that all the mail ~rder and stamp revenues are credited to the Tacoma post office. Post offices are rated on the amount of revenue and the Parkland post office should get credit for moneys spent in its area. The con census of opinion is that rural routes 3, 7, 10 and 13 should originate at Parkland, and even route 4 would start no further from its territory than it does at present. A Parkland Community Club committee has circulated petitions asking for a change, and further action is contemplated. However, a large response from persons. receiving mail on these routes would be the quickest way to get things started. Many persons have expressed the wish that a change could be effected and it is only a matter of getting these people to move as a group to bring about a change.
