Fishhooks cause injury
To the Editor:
With the arrival of fishing weather
comes a myriad of injuries caused by
fishhooks left carelessly about.
Serious injury and even death can
occur when animals try to swallow
bits of fish or bait, left on the hooks,
pet owners.
Not only are animals vulnerable to
injury from these notorious pieces of
metal, but young children and adults
have been known to receive painful if
not dangerous injuries by stepping on
them. The prospect of a barbed
fishhook through a toe would appeal
to few people, and the accompanying
medical bill would be even less
appealing.
If you fish, please do so
responsibly, taking your refuse with
you and being particularly careful not
to leave behind fishhooks or broken
glass, which may cause injury. If you
have children who fish, please remind
them that they have a responsibility
to be thoughtful of others.
Whether you or your children fish
or not, it would be wise to pick up
harmful debris that you find and
dispose of it properly. The fishhook
you leave behind this week could
come home in your pet’s tongue or
your child’s foot next week.

VHS grads seen as
"group of fine citizens
To the Editor:
I am writing in regard to our
graduates of Vernonia High. I think
graduation should be the happiest
year of a young person’s life. There
should be a carefree feeling and
activities to create this atmosphere
along with their regular learning
This could be obtained by
cooperation between the pupils and
teachers. Along with discipline kids
need a lot of tender loving care. 1981
will graduate a group of .fine citizens
so let’s send them off with happy
school
memories
as
an
encouragement to future students.

SELF HELP HOUSING PROJECT
New housing possibilities open
In the near future families who
could not afford the monthly
payments and the down payment of a
new home may be able to find a way
to get started in their dream of home
ownership. The Columbia County
Housing Authority and Farmers
Home Administration are trying tp
implement a Self-Help Housing
Project. The Self-Help concept began
in Nova Scotia, and has spread
throughout the United States and
will be tried here in Columbia County,
contingent on federal budget cuts.
The Self-Help method utilizes the
labor< of participating families to, help
reduce the construction cost of a new
home. Six to ten families are grouped
together in a legal entity. Every
participating family agrees to provide
up to 30 hours per week labor for the
construction of those six to ten
houses that the group will build.
These hours may be contributed by
any family member or very close
friends that are identified prior to
STARTING. When all the houses of
that group are completed each family
can move into their home. This way
the group is able to make bulk
purchases on items that are included
in every house like 2x6’s, doors,
windows, roofing material, etc.
Each participating family must be
able to qualify far a Farmer’s Home
Rural Housing ^oan. Eligibility
requirements include: 1) The adjusted
annual income of the families cannot
exceed $15,600 per year, 2) the
applicant must have repayment
ability or else a co-signer, 3) you
cannot own a dwelling now which is
structurally sound and large enough
for your needs, 4) reside as a citizen in
any of the 50 states.
If you think you would qualify and
you are .willing to participate in
building your new home, call the
housing program at 397-1675, and
give us your name, location and
approximate income.
