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.
