FISHER, Editor and Publisher TO OUR FRIENDS Our seven years in Vernonia have brought us many delightful associations. Editing the com munity newspaper has been a congenial task because so many have willingly furnished items of interest to the community. To the advertisers, to the subscribers and to the patrons of the com mercial printing department we are also grateful for a cooper aion that has made publication of the Eagle possible. The newspaper has been par ticularly fortunate in having throughout our stay here an ef ficient and loyal shop force who have made the Eagle’s interests their interests, and who have taken pride in fine workmanship. To all of them we are under obligation, and especially to the present staff, Everett Rundell and Marguerite Laird. It is a privilege to turn the business over to men as compe tent as the new owners. Mr. Sex ton is a resourceful, enterprising newspaper man of fine personal ity, a leader in the community where he has been living; and Mr. Kamholz, who will have charge of the mechanical depart ment, also has had considerable experience in newspaper work and is prepared to maintain the high standards of the Eagle shop. They plan to enlarge the news paper at once, and to give to the people of Vernonia the very best that the field affords. To them, our best wishes for success. To all our friends, business and social, we wish to express appreciation of an association that we shall recall with much pleasure. Helen M. Fisher Ray D.
