2 Local students spend winter
in Australia
This past Sunday, August 17 th, Kathy
Bruers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Don
Bruers, returned to Vernonia after
spending the summer as a Lions Club
International exchange student in
Australia.
Flying time to Australia is 24 hours.
The plane stops in Los Angeles, Hawaii,
Auckland, New Zealand, and finally
Sydney, A ustralia. There were 56
exchange students traveling together,
either to New Zealand or Australia. 18 of
these were from Oregon, two from
Vernonia, Kathy Bruers and David
Jackson.
Because Australia is south of the
equator the seasons are reversed. It was
winter in Australia. The nights were
really cold, but the days would warm up
to a heavy sweater weather. There is a
sixteen hour time difference between
Vernonia and where Kathy stayed.
The first town Kathy stayed in was a
town the size of Vernonia. It was also
a lumber town high up in the hills.
Kathy had the privilege of staying with
eight different host families during her
time inAustralia. Each family treated her
to many sight seeing trips and fun times.
She stayed with a Forest Rangers family,
a school teacher, a retired couple, a
farmer-rancher, the owners of a general
store, a mail route carrier, a policeman
and the owners of a general store in a
town of about 1000.
While she was there she attended school
and enjoyed going to several different
churches with her host families. Kathy
enjoyed this trip immensely. It was very
educational and she has made many
friends w ith whom she intends to
correspond, both here in the USA and in
Australia. Kathy would like to thank the
Vernonia Lions Club for sponsoring her
on this wonderful learning experience.
QUESTION: Some friends and I were
talking about social security the other
day. Most of us feel that it’s really a good
investment. Couldn’t we do better with
private insurance or a pension plan?
ANSWER: Social security'provides a
package of protection — disability,
survivors, retirement, and health
insurance — that cannot be duplicated at
a comparable cost. Also, social security
has advantages which are not always
found in private insurance or pension
plans. For example, social security
benefits are tax-free and increase
automatically each year with the cost-of-
living. Social security is not meant to
replace all earnings lost because of
retirement, disability, or death. It’s a
basic level of income to build on with
individual savings, investments, or other
insurance.

She did it this time. Mt. St. Helens has
just made a big ash hole of herself, and
consequently broke off all relations with
her boyfriends; Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams
and Mt. Hood.
She told Mt. Hood, “I lava you, I lava
you.” He told her, “I don’t want anything
to do with you anymore, because you
forgot to take your Earth Control Pills.”
She did not file an Environmental
Impact Statement (what she had on the
top of her mind to do) and therefore
violated the Federal Pollution Standards.
Her penalty for this gross violation will
be, never to erupt again before filing an
Environmental Impact Statement.
Because of her carelessness, violent
action and exposure, she has a bad case of
the flu.
She has a high temperature, vomits
with much force, has a runny nose, and
coughs all the time.
May she sleep in peace, amen!
