Thursday April23,1981 Vernonia Freedom—Page 7 Girls Scouts tour Cannon Beach Eighteen fourth, fifth and sixth grade Girl Scouts and their three leaders went to Cannon Beach for a weekend outing March 27, 28 and 29. ’The girls and leaders had been working on the plans for the weekend for some time and seemed to have everything under control. Their meals were all planned and what they were going to do during the day was well taken care. Something happened their first night out though, that they had not planned on but, as well prepared Girl Scouts, they handled the emergency with the calm and wisdom that the Girl Scouts teach. The girls were all inside, Cathy Cieloha’s van when she noticed there was smoke coming from somewhere. As her girl Scout training taught her, where there is smoke there is fire. She immediately told the girls to get out of the van and to get away from the vehicle. The van was parked next to the “A” frame cabin that they had borrowed for the weekend from leader Linda Dowels good friend. The van was pretty much engulfed in flames by the time the fire department arrived. Leader Marilyn Fennell had observed an extra gas can on the back of the van and promptly removed it averting an even bigger fire. The van unfortunately, was completely ruined but the girls were all safe and no one was hurt. There were a few things in the van that were lost including Cathy’s purse. The girls took up a collection and bought her a new wallet. The “A” frame was singed' a little, but suffered no real damage. The rest of the outing went as planned except for one minor incident. The girls were taking a walk along the beach and Cathy had left her jacket lying somewhere along the way, when she came back to retrieve it she found that a dog had decided to relieve itself on it. Poor Cathy, what a weekend! The girls and leaders would like to express their heartfelt thanks to the Budges for the loan of their van and Bill Crabtree for driving down with it and bringing the girls home. The weekend was a real experience for the girls and was handled with expertise by everyone involved. Vemonia High School Honor Roll 3rd Quarter J 4.00 April Durst Brad Gardner .

Mathews It was in the nineteen fifties- Nearly thirty years gone by, We thought of the fire danger When things were parched and dry. Everyone helped in this project In a number of different ways, Some donated loads of cement Which helped to fill our four bays. So a group of men got together To form a fire protection board, And collect a sum of money- Whatever we could afford. Some delivered rock and sand And various other things, They did it out of kindness And not to pull some strings. It was slow in getting started, Some directors moved away, But the records lay in thé court house Where they are to this very day. Others donated their labor And helped any way they could, Some doing carpenter work- Others, cleaning up scraps of wood. The fire bureau lay dormant For nearly twenty-six years. People forgot about fires And gradually lost their fears. We were helped by so many different folks That I will not try to keep tally. For if I did, I might leave some out, And my name would be “Mud” in the valley! Along in the later seventies More people decided to roam, And some of them decided That here they would build their home. Now in spite of our donations and help, This might seem a bit funny, Before our hall was completed- We simply ran out of money. And as more young families moved in They were not out for perfection, But realized we needed medical care, And also, fire protection. Well, that stopped us in our tracks And if effected one and all, Because of a lack of money To finish our fire hall. A group of these young people Took classes on emergency cases, And how to administer first aid When it was needed at different places. So some of our fireboard leaders Went to the county court, To find out the real reason Why our funds were cut so short. Our biggest need was an ambulance, A safe one, and in good condition, So we could transport the sick and injured To a hospital, and a physician. They had some hot discussions And our finances remained pretty slim, But they called another meeting At Mist - to be held in the gym. We finally got a used one, And it has worked out great, Which proves out the old theory- Things come to those who wait. This time there was a big crowd Folks came from a long way The commissioners from St. Helens To hear what we had to say. Well, we got the ambulance going, But, my friends, that isn’t all! We needed a place to put it- And, also, a fire hall. There were also state representatives, It was a long trip that they made, But they drove over the mountain Intent on giving us aid. So people got together And went on a hunting spree, To find a good location Where our fire hall should be. In just a very short time We were again in good condition, For we received ten thousand dollars From the Columbia County Commission, We searched up and down the valley And would have like to build on a hill, Then the Olympic Forest donated a site Right close by their sawmill. This enabled us to finish our hall, .And to achieve our long sought object So I want to give thanks to everyone here Who has helped us along with this project. They also donated lumber And gravel, and that isn’t all- They gave us a number of other things Needed in building a hall. Now to come to my conclusion- May God bless you one and all. We are all happy for this dedication Of the Mist Birkenfeld Fire Hall. Vitamin C Lecithin 18 grams with Rose Hips 1000 mg. A natural source for B-Complex ... 100 capsules Buy 1st $6.99 Get 2nd FREE!
