RAY D. FISHER, Editor and Publisher SOME POST THANKSGIVING THOUGHTS Before this issue of Vernonia Eagle reaches its sub scribers, Thanksgiving will be over, the turkey, cran berries, pumpkin pie or what have you consumed except for sundry cold remnants in the pantry, and one's favor ite team either victorious or defeated in the big game. Thanksgiving over—and not much to be thankful for, either, you say. Are not wages down, jobs scarce, women and children hungry or about to be, and do not desperate men force their unlucky victims into stolen cars and toss them out after emptying their pockets? Things are bad enough now, you may say, and sure to be speedily worse. Yet is there not much to be thankful for, even after the holiday is over, and in a period of business depres sion? There is, when you consider it, right here in Ver- nonia. For one thing, crops in Columbia county and the Nehalem valley have been bountiful. Ask anybody who travelled in the middle west last summer what crop fail- ure means. Business in Vernonia, although below normal, has kept up splendidly, all things considered, Ask any travelling man about comparative conditions in many other towns, several in Oregon. Although individuals have been laid off, the plant of the Oregon-American Lumber company has' been in con tinuous operation. Many a lumbering mill elsewhere has had to shut down indefinitely. Building construction in Vernonia has been healthily active: Store buildings belonging to R. B. Early and Gordon Watt; the beautiful new Washington school; the Rock creek bridge; city hall garage and jail; paving; re modeling of private residences and apartments; electric line extensions by the Oregon Gas and Electric company ; the Vernonia-Mist telephone line. So far so good, some may pause to remark, but what of the future? If the mill shuts down— But the management of the mill has given every as- surance that operation will continue on the present basis until the lumber market improves, and then, of course, production will increase. False reports of an imminent shut-down, as baseless as the rumor that the company is about to sell out, hurt Vernonia, and hamper a continua tion of the activity that has been so prominent despite pessimists and crepe hangers. What 1931 will be like no one knows; one man’s prophecy: is as good as another’s. But this much is certain: With the same spirit that has characterized Ver nonia during the past year, there still will be much to be thankful for. public highway«. out the unfit, the neghite»». —St Helen« Sentinel License Law will ba waged in ao that entry will not be easy. reckless and the "accident re Doors and windows of homes 28 states during the next few peaters.* ami to prevent begin OREGON CITY—Gladys Robin should be fastened at night ao months.
