ALBERT SCHMIDLIN was the past week announced owner of the highest milk-produc ing herd in Columbia County during the month of October. This is an honor, and congratulations are due Mr. Schmidlin. An important fact brought forth by this announcement is one which concerns our community. In spite of the skepticism of some people, this immediate section of the county is proving to be desirable for dairying, Vernonia is at present primarily a lumbering district, but in answer to the query: “After tht timber is all cut, what CAN become of Vernonia?”, Mr. Schmidlin has the answer. « Vernonia fasle MARVIN KAMHOLZ, Editor and P ublisher Entered as second class mail matter.

There is a goal in these worthwhile .meetings which children, the recepients of the goodies, don’t realize; there is accom plishment that even the committee members don’t sense. This something, often unattained, is an example of cooperation—something we need in all our organizations and business firms in this our home town.

Distribution of 60 or 70 milk bottles topped with a colorful plac- ard cut to resemble a Christmr.s tree with the words “Kiwanis Christmas sunshine benefit fund, please help” will be carried out today.
