recent council meeting, and helped in an emergency which
came near spelling disaster for the town.
We take this opportunity to commend our day mar
shal, Chief of Police Harry 1 nelps, who had all day
Thursday been on duty and was on the job at 2:00 a.m.
Friday still walking his beat, taking the shift of Deputy
Marshal Monger, reported sick, who first saw the fire,
immediately getting assistance to battle the flames.
In every emergency we can remember, Phelps has
been on the job, whether a bank robbery or a fire, and as
this day of Thanksgiving dawns, we are thankful that
SO capable a man heads the police department of our city,
It lends one a sense of security.
The splendid services rendered by the local branch
the
West Coast Telephone company during the earlier
of
hours Friday morning, is to be commended. Mrs. Earl
Smith, in record time, phoned parties vitally interested
and was instrumental in getting needed assistance to the
scene of the fire. She never left her post throughout the
hours when the fire was raging.
The quick decsion of Claude Messing to rebuild soon
on the property from which his buildings were destroyed
by fire last Friday, makes us, who live in this city of
Vernonia, have all the greater faith in the future of our
town.
Now that the preliminary survey for the Rainier-
Vernonia cutoff will start tomorrow, we feel several steps
nearer to our most cherished wish, the completion of the
West Side Pacific highway extension.
Uncle Sam awarded that bid, for a new local post
office. Now let’s see some action from the successful bid
der, and see the construction start.
Thanks to those of this city who remembered, and
assisted in putting the Red Cross drive over the top.
