A few communities enterprizes to
Vernonia would be thrice welcome.
Among urgent needs is a hall, a lodge
room, etc. Various suggestions on
how to secure a hall have been dis­
cussed, but as yet none of the ideas
have materialized. The best plan
would be for some individual to build
one. A two story fireproof building
properly located with two store rooms
on the first floor and lodge rooms
on second floor would pay the own­
er at leats over 12 per cent on the
investment. It will be hard sleding to
build this building as a community­
plan or by local stock buying or do­
nations. In Vernonia, as elsewhere,
the men having the most money, give
the least for public progress, A
building has been suggesttd for the
community to be sponsored by the
Boy Scouts and Giri Reserves, the
American Legion or the Chamber of
Commerce—Good idea, if the monty
could be raised. Such a building
could be used as a “Gym”, rest room
Public Library and lodge rooms a-
bove. Yes, we would like to see such
a building, but have little faith in the
financing success of the venture. We
believe the surest plan is for a lodge
or a private individual to construct
such a building, as a good business
proposition. We woull like to hear
ideas and are open for convictions.
, We need a hall.

Whether it is actually put into
practice or not, we can not vouch
but a plan of dealing with speeders
reported from a California town has
much to comemnd it.
As a punishment for reckless driv­
ing, the offenders is forced to take
a ride in an airplane, piloted by an
.Xpert, who shoots through space at
terrific speed, with variations in the
way of dips, tail spins and a few
loops. This treatment is said to be
very effective in taking the speed
mania out of the culprit and causing
him to dread a second "sentence”.
Automobile speeders are not, as
i rule, particularly courageous. Gen-
Tally they are just plain fools, who
Jo not realize the danger to which
hey subpect themselyes and others.
The treatment described above seems
luite appropriate.
