SPLENDID MEETING OF
VERNONIA PARENT-TEACHERS
Wednesday night at the high
school a business meeting and pro­
gram was held and enjoyed by the
Parent-Teachers Associatiin. After
the program given by the grade
school pupils the business session was
hell. Among important suggestions
offered was the necessity of a rest
room and emergency room with a
cot or lounge in each school. These
will probably be provided by dona­
tion. The program given was as fol­

AFTER THE PESTS
Daily newspapers carried a small
item a few day sago that escaped the
attention of thousands, yet which
touched on a subject of vital interest
to the whole country. It was an item
to the effect thnt Sen. Shortrilge, of
California, had asked congress for an
appropriation to fight rats in the cit­
ies nbout San Francisco bay.
The f rt that an appropriation for
sue hpui | < es will even Ke consider­
ed is proof that conditions have
changed and that the people of this
country realize they have before
them a continuous fight upon pests.
The other day money was appropriat­
ed by a western state to fight • chick
en pest. In e-ory case the money for
these things comes out of the naak-
ets of the people, but the benefits
they derive arc far greater than
they have any means of knowing
Bubonic plngiie, the most dreaded di­
sease in the world, can he carried
from one country to nnother by rat*
that fairly swarm in the hull of big
steamships. Tuberculosis, commonly
called the “great white plague”, enn
be disseminated through sickly cows
And so it goes.
There are plenty of rats in Vernon­
ia. No section of the United States
is entirely free of them, and for thnt
reason no section is wholly free from
the dangerous diseases that they car­
ry. If we cannot have legislation in
this state to rid us of pests, then let •
us do the next best thing, let us make
an individual fight upon them, each
citizen waging battle on his own
premises. We will soon find that it
wil lprove time well spent
