READERS OFFERED
MANY NEW BOOKS—
WITHIN THE past month or so the an­
nouncement has been made several times of
the addition of new books to the Vernonia
Public Library. The books have been those
coming from the pens of writers who have
something of interest to offer readers. Some
of them have been fiction, some non-fiction,
thus offering a wider variety of subjects to
please a diversity of interests.
The Vernonia library has received the
addition of books during the past few years
that adds materially to its list so that reader
interest may be gratified. To the library
board and the librarian should be extended the
appreciation of patrons for the additions of
material that have been made in making more
useful the institution.

AS HAS been the procedure in former
times of distress the Red Cross has come
to the fore in seeking aid for those people
who have been the victims of some catast­
rophe. The great war in Europe is at the
moment causing untold suffering to men,
women and children who have no means of
caring for themselves and must needs receive
the aid of some humane organization.
The Red Cross is devoted to a work of
pity and helpfulness immeasurably beneficient.
A short history of the organization might
prove enlightening to many.
The Red Cross is a philanthropic organ­
ization whose general rules were drafted by
an international conference which met at
Geneva in 1863. The conference agreed upon
a treaty for the purpose of alleviating the
evils inseparable from war and recommended
the formation in every country of a com­
mittee to cooperate with the hospital staff
of armies in times of conflict. Forty-four
nations, including the United States, ratified
the treaty and a flag and badge were adopted
upon each of which was a Geneva red cross
on a white ground.
The American branch, organized in 1881
as the American National Association of the
Red Cross and re-incorporated in 1893 and
1900, took the name of the American Red
Cross in 1905. Its scope is all-embracing. The
relief of war sufferers is only one branch
of its activities. In addition to that, it carries
on a system of national and international
relief in time of peace and seeks to mitigate
the sufferings caused by pestilence, famine,
fire, floods, explosions and other national
calamities. The headquarters of the organiza­
tion are at Washington, D. C. Its present peace
membership is about 5,000,000.
In carrying on the Red Cross work, sub­
scription of funds is necessary. Along that
line Columbia county has been asked to pro­
vide $600 to apply on a fund for assistance
to chose sufferers of the war. Of that §600
portion Vernonia has been asked to provide
8100 which does not seem disproportionate
when considering the cause for which the
money is to be used. ,
COUNTY NEWS
BOY-AND-DOG TALE
BY TARKINGTON—
Taking for its theme a sympa-
thetic and stirring study of a small
boy’s mind, RKO Radio's “Little
Orvie” brings the famous Booth
Tarkington character to the screen
in one of the season’s most re­
freshing comedies.
Young John Sheffield plays the
title role of the eight-year-old whose
mother won’t let him have a 'dog,
but this prohibition does not stop:
him from making friends with a
stray Great Dane, who gets him
into trouble with the neighbors over
a matter of a broken window or
two.
Moreover, tha dog refuses to
abandon Orvie and insists on going
home with him. There the dog
stalls more trouble and forces
Orvie to resort to desperate e Torts
to save his canine friend from the
city pound.
“IRENE” AND THE POPULAR
“ALICE BLUE GOWN”—
The Cinderella-ish story of a
vivacious little Irish colleen who,
from a sales-girt becomes the talk
of New York and the bride of a
young millionaire, is the basis
around which has been woven the
tuneful plot of “Irene”, How a
series of lucky accidents take her
lrom obscurity to the heights of
society and bring her fame but not
happiness,
how
her
romantic
troubles pile up, and how her “ex­
posure” leads to the smashing of
her engagement to one man and
her marriage to another, all make
for the hilarity and the thrills of
this fast-moving film.
The ranking English screen star
of today, Anna Neagle lays aside
the serious drama of her recent
performance in “Nurse Edith Cav-
ell” to show American audiences a
sparkling and tuneful portrayal in
this offering, Formerly a musical
comedy star herself before she
turned to the screen, Miss Neagle
is an ideal choice for the part of
the dashing little Irish girl.

submitting to the legal voters
said district the question of
increasing the tax levy Tor the
year 1940 over the amount limited
by section 11, article XI, of the
Constitution of Oregon.
The reasons for increasing such
levy are:
Our base is large enough to
run only a rural school of approx­
imately 3 teachers.
The amount of tax, in excess of
the 6% limitation, proposed to be
levied (for said year is $31,011.40.
