A need for a central point for
■oilection and distribution of clothes

requiring social aid was voiced to
Mayor Bollinger who made arrange­
ments with Roberts and Hieber,
m:rag?rs of the businesses which
ccupy the lower floor of the Bank
Building.

A statement this week by a mem­
ber of the city park board makes
known plans which will when ter­
minated provide a turf field for
the city park. The statement, issu­
ed by Bob Spencer, made known
that the seeding will begin as soon
as weather permits, Mr. Spencer
has been authorized by the city
council to purchase the necessary
seed and fertilizer.
With the knowledge that the
field was to be seeded the question
arose as to softball for the summer
season. As near as can be deter­
mined, it will be possible to move
the backstop and bleachers, now
at the park, to the field at the
Washington grade school and use
that field for the summer’s games.
The City of Vernonia is just in
receipt of a copy of the rules and
regulations of the Oregon State
Board of Aeronautics, adopted on
the 28th day of December, 1939,
and approved by Charles A.
Sprague, Governor of the State of
Oregon on the 19th day of January,
1940. The rules consist of three
typewritten pages printed in pam­
phlet form and contain regulations
'in regard to traffic, safety, pilots
