4 Thursday, Dec. 11, 1941, Vernonia Eagle, Vernonia, Oregon Comments Week THE P0CKL >00k of KNOWLEDGE S SAVE YOUR WASTE PAPER A recent bulletin from the Oregon State Defense Council headed by Jerrold Owen gives information on the anticipated greater shortage of paper and urges that conservation become the order of the day for that material and other materials which are ordinarily wasted but which can often be returned to usefulness. According to the bulletin “County Defense Councils are asked to lend their assistance to local drives for the accumula tion of waste paper and to initiate such campaigns where none already are under way. Conservation of waste of all kinds is of vast importance today and local defense groups may find it advisable to appoint a conservation committee to which can be deferred all such projects.” 2OOO YEARS. 0.C.

COMMENDABLE COOPERATION Vernonia has participated with other Oregon coast towns and cities west of the Cascades in the nightly blackouts since Monday. The cooperation of the residents of Vernonia is com mendable when one considers the small amount of trouble which has been experienced in making the blackout here a success. Some people occasionally forget to turn out lights but readily cooperate when the matter is brought to their attention indic ating that they are willing to help in that way. It cannot be definitely said how much longer blackouts will be demanded but the general opinion by officials indicates that the procedure will be continued for some time. It is hoped that what little difficulty has been experienced may be entirely overcome so with the sounding of the siren warning lights will be immediately concealed.
