Only One Week Remains 'Til
Eagle Cooking School; Many
Prizes to Be Awarded 3 Days
NOTE: Due to the booking of
Seven
“Snow
White and the
Dwarfs,” the Saturday showing of
the Eagle’s Moving Picture Cook­
ing School' will start at the Joy
Theatre at 12:45 sharp. The “Snow
White” showing is billed to follow
at the close of the school and
prize drawings. Thursday and Fri­
day cooking school showings start
at 2:30 sharp.
Lock the doors and come to
town.
The Eagle’s Motion Picture Cook­
ing School entitled “Star in My
Kitchen” will be the real commun­
ity attraction for three days at the
Joy Theatre starting June 2.
This fascinating and different
cooking school is open entirely free
to every woman in town, and The
lEagle as well as Vernonia mei-
chants extend this invitation to
join in the home-making lessons and
jolly entertainment for at least one
day.
The
Motion
Picture Cooking
School will be a practical' rally of
home-makers to contribute fresh
perspective for the “same old job”,
the monotonous day-in-and-day-out-
job, yet the most important busi­
ness in the world. Just as men
have their
annual conventions,
where they listen to lectures from
specialists, local women will have
their convention to consider home­
making problems.
Just as fresh inspiration for the
cld job is one of the by-products
of the familiar cooking school,
which presents a lecturer in a model
kitchen, so are new ideas and keen
incentive born in the film class for
home-makers, with its novel ap­
proach and modern setting.
No “false-front” camera-beauti­
ful kitchens satisfied these specia­
lists. They insisted on working in
complete, compact, modern kitchens,
which actually reflect more scienti­
fic ingenuity and careful planning
than any living room.
Recognizing the demands of home
experts, the producers of “Star in
My Kitchen” signed all-star krteh-
ens, with an all-star cast, adding, a
continual procession of close-ups,

Vernonia Invites the
World to Swim Free in
Dewey Pool; Now Open
There’s one place you can always go
As the weather warms up and you want to keep cool.
It won’t cost you a cent to flit to and fro;
In the refreshing waters down in Dewey Pool.
Yep, that’s right!
She’s been christened and the man upon whose should­
ers has revolved much of the work, as chairman of the
park board, is honored with the greatest single asset
. . . the swimming pool on Rock creek . . . right in the
center of town, that Vernonia now possesses.
It is Dewey Pool in Nehalia park and playground. Need­
less to say, L. H. Dewey’s pet project is getting the larg­
est play of any pleasure or business venture in the en-
tire county.
With the dam in this week, and other facilities being
constructed as speedily as possibly, a natural playground
is available for all AT NO COST every suitable day dur-
ing the late spring, summer and early fall months.
The Vernonia City Council, the Vernonia Chamber of
Commerce and all residents of the community, especially
the incorporation taxpayers whose funds made avail­
able the current season’s improvements, extend a hearty
welcome and invitation to the World to swim in Ver-
nonia’s front yard.
You’ll be as welcome as the first warm weather was
this week. You’ll be as welcome to use Dewey Pool as
the pool was welcome to the more than 350 children and
adults who used it yesterday.
Come to Vernonia and swim. Everyone else will.
Keep cool in Dewey Pool!
Vernonia’s Memorial Day obser-
vances plans were announced yes-
terday by the Women’s Relief Corp,
through Mrs. Chas. Justice.
Starting promptly at 10 a. m.
from the Washington grade school,
the annual parade of local' organ-
Headt d
izations will be viewed,
by the Vernonia Junior band under
the direction of C. R. Watts, the
parade will move west on Bridge,
counter march to the grade school'
for dispersing.
A bouquet of the season’s flow-1
ers is to be cast into the water at
the bridge, according to plans, dur­
ing a brief ceremony planned in
honor of the dead. Following the
parade, the American Legion and
Auxiliary will go to the cemetery
where a volley is to be fired as a
gesture to war dead. A brief cere­
mony will probably be held there
during the time.
The parade, aside from the band,
will contair marching units from

the Legion

as the Relief Corps and Boy Scouts.

FIRST RESCUE OF
SEASON VIEWED AT

To Chester Bell, Vernonia,
goes credit for making the first
rescue of the current Vernonia
swimming season. Monday even­
ing, Little Miss “Dody” Tip­
ton was walking on the cat­
walk which was yet attached
to the retaining wall and slip­
ped into the fast-filling swim­
ming pool on Rock creek. See­
ing her plight, Bell plunged in
clothes and all, to pull the little
tot into shore and perhaps sav­
ed her from strangulation be­
fore others .would have effect­
ed the rescue.

Man Dies After Brief Ill­
ness; Remains in Tacoma
Funeral rites paying tribute to the
memory of William F. Manthey, 60,
well known Vernonia man, and for
the past three years with the Ore­
gon-American Corporation, were held
Tuesday afternoon at Riverview Ab­
bey in Portland. The remains were
cremated and sent to Tacoma for
mausoleum placement.
Prior to Mr. Manthey’s affiliation
with the local company, he had
been superintendent for Clark &
Wilson at Wauna. He became ser­
iously ill about five weeks ago and
was removed to St. Vincent’s hos­
pital in Portland.
The deceased is survived by his
widow, Mrs. Georgette Manthey;
two daughters, Mrs. C. C. Boyce of
Forest Grove, and Mrs. H. B. Simp­
son of Vancouver, B. C.; a step-son,
Robert George McCabe of Oakland,

Strankham of Sumner, and Mrs. Em­
ily McCarthy of Puyallup; two bro­
thers, Gus Manthey of Steward,

survive.

C. F. HIEBER IS
DISAPPOINTED THRU
POLITICAL TURN
C. F. Hieber, one of the few
remaining admitted Republic­
ans of the Vernonia commun­
ity, has been accused of being
everything from a Carpetbag­
ger to a Socialist by hi* friends
but his most recent political es­
capade came Friday when he
just missed being a Democratic
candidate by one vote. His Dem­
ocratic friends (and he has
some Democratic friends) insist­
ed on writing in hi* name for
Justice of Peace for this dist­
rict. The incumbent, Judge Hill,
heat the welt known GOP man
by one vote on the Democratic
ticket
The vote was heavy,
10-9.
Though there were several hotly
contested positions in county polit­
ics last Friday, the entire stage, for
Democrats and Republicans, was
stolen by the Governor Martin-Hen­
ry Hess battle for the Democratic
nomination for the state’s chief ex­
ecutive nomination.
Hess won the nomination by 7,-
000—plus votes tabulated from
over the state and with only one
precinct remaining, according to in­
formation gleaned yesterday by The
Eagle. Following are the complete,
unofficial Columbia county returns:
