are far from overstuffed this year.
As will be noticed from the budget printed in the last
two issues of this newspaper, debt service—the inescap
able payment of obligations that have become due—has in
creased from $6,602.50 in 1929 to $23,535.20 in 1930. The
new Washington school, quite apart from the cost of con
struction and the indebtedness to meet it, is obviously more
costly to operate than the smaller structure that it has re
placed. While the sinking fund and outside sources of
revenue may be expected to take care of a good share of
the unavoidable increase, there is enough of new expense
left to tempt the asking for a substantially higher tax.
Because the board has refrained from doing so, it deserves
hearty support at the budget meeting next Tuesday.

FARM DEVELOPMENT IN NEHALEM VALLEY
Safeway Stores have announ
ced the establishment of the
Safeway Homemakers bureau.
Through this bureau, it is stated,
women of Vernonia are to be
offered the advice of a recog
nized nationally-known authority
on household problems free of
charge.
The director of the bureau is
Julia Lee Wright, a woman of
outstanding reputation in her
field. She will have ample fac
ilities in the way of test kitchens,
able assistants, etc., for giving
individual attention to requests
for advice.
Regularly over the air Mrs.
Wright will offer helpful sug
gestions to local women. An in
vitation to communicate with her
on household subjects is to be
open to all. Mrs. Wright’s series
of radio broadcasts, every Tues
day and Friday morning at 11:-
10. Pacific standard time, started
November 18 as a new feature
of the “Woman’s Magazine of the
Air,” sponsored by the National
Broadcasting company.
According to Safeway execu
tives the services of the bureau
are to be made available, without
charge or obligation of any kind,
to all women in the territory
from. Denver west. The plan and
scope of service to be rendered
is said to be considerably great-
ed than that ordinarily taken
by an enterprise of this nature,
and is the first of its kind in
the west.
The major purpose of the bur
eau, it was stated, is to assist
homemakers in getting the utmost
in value, economy and satisfaction
out of their food expenditures.
The service, it is pointed out,
will be more than a recipe or
menu service, although these are
included. It is to be a complete
advisory service for women in
the home, and will touch upon
any problem of administration
and management which may be
referred to it by the housewife,
whether a safeway store patron
or not. Entertainment ideas,

Word comes that Mrs. Thos.
W. Peters, an old resident of
the Nehalem Valley, near Mist,
passed away at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. W. L. Sharp, No
vember 19, 1930, aged 79 years
and eight months.
Mrs. Peters had been in frail
health for several years and con
fined to her bed all the time
the past eight weeks, and while
the end was expected, her pas
sing came suddenly.
Mr. and Mrs. Peters, together
with their three children, one
son, A. B. Peters (more familiar
ly known as Bert) and two
daughters, Verna and Pansy, re
sided near Mist, on the old
Frank Canaris homestead, from
1890 until 1898, when the fami
ly moved to Corvallis, Oregon,
that the children might have
better schooling facilities. Here
they have lived continuously for
the past 32 years. Mr. Peters
died November 22, 1910.
The three children survive their
mother and are Verna, who is I

“Advertising is the education of the
public as to what you are, where you are,
and what you have to offer in the way
of skill, talent or commodity. The only
man who should not advertise is the man
who has nothing to offer the world in
the way of commodity or service.”
