Thursday June 18,1981 Page 2— Vernonia Freedom Disabled Vietnam vet overlooked for Sexton job To the Editor: This being the International Year of the Disabled Veteran, we are curious as to why the city of Vernonia does not practice the slogan “Hire A Vet”. In the recent filling of the position for cemetery sexton, the council passed over. a disabled Vietnam veteran with over two years experience at the Vernonia Memorial Cemetery in favor of someone else. Do the city fathers know about the automatic tax credit of over $3000 they are entitled to when hiring a disabled Vietnam veteran? One would think that with the economy being what it is things such as this would be considered when reviewing applicants, even though experience and a genuine desire and need for the job apparently are not so considered. We, along with many other citizens and patrons pf Vernonia, are very disappointed and disillusioned with this decision. Sandra Potter Paul E. Meyer PUBLIC Green-thumbers head for economical plant sale with potluck dinner Green-thumbers made a beeline to the Columbia County Historial Society’s economical plant sale held at the Marshland Grange Hall. Tiny blossomed Forget-Me-Nots to New England Sugar Maples (over 50 feet when full grown) were among the varieties displayed. A historial meeting will be held at the Vernonia Senior Center, Wednesday June 24, with lunch furnished by the center for $1.50 each, at noon sharp. All are welcome. The program will feature author Lesta Garner and Mist poet, Walter Mathews. THANK YOU EXTENDED Thank you to everyone who helped us get the Timbernook ready for business.
