FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 1938 Arcadia Reduced To Ashes Spectacular Fire Levels Elaborate Dance Pavilion Tuesday Evening An evening of music, mingled with multiple other features, all des tined to impress the need of music in the home and school, will be pre sented to the public of this vicinity Tuesday evening, May 3, at the Washington grade school, Mrs. Wil liam Hammack, Legion Auxiliary program chairman, announced this week. The program is being sponsored by the Vernonia Unit of the Legion Auxiliary as a part of the organiza tion’s plan to cooperate with the schools and other community organ izations in bringing the importance of music to the people.

Included will be the school orchest ra, under the direction of Miss Amy Hughes, her glee club and other singing groups; the Junior band under the direction of C. R. Watts, vocal and instrumental solos, brief talks concerning the week, and others to be announced at the pro- gram. The event starts at 8 p. m. sharp, Mrs. Hammack stated, and will be open, in fact the public is urged to attend, to everyone who can find it possible to attend. “We want to pack the auditorium at the grade school for this pro gram, as the Auxiliary and those cooperating are trying hard to make it an outstanding event of its kind for Vernonia.” o The large, elaborate, rustic dance pavilion, lounge and kitchen, pride of Arcadia park, four miles from Vernonia on Timber route, passed out of this sphere Tuesday evening shortly after 9 o’clock in a fanfare of blazing glory, somewhat akin to its skyrocket fame which it had known some seven or eight years ago, shortly after its opening. The only difference between the glory was that in opening the large, log building, with its rustic and impressive fire places was to house life . . . and lots of it . . . but its end the life was short, and three hours after the first flicker, Five Vernonia Persons 1 aught but desolation hovered near.
