The bank is located at the corner of S. Main Street (Hwy. 47) and Oak Way. Western Auto gone True Value is here As Western Auto stores un dergo changes on a nationwide basis, the Vernonia associate store, owned and operated for the past 34 years by Arnie and Mary Tolonen, has been phased out - but only as W est ern Auto. The Tolonen family is still op erating the store, at 834 Bridge Street, and son Craig has be come a valuable part of the or ganization, too. Western Auto is gone, but the new True Value sign will probably be up by the time you read this. The only problem now, will be remembering to put the correct name on our checks when we pay our bills! Forest workshop will emphasize improved roads A two-day Forest Roads Workshop will be held in sever al Oregon communities to help family forestland owners as sess their forest roads. The road assessment process will help determine if they can im prove water quality or fish habi tat.
