6 Thursday, April 30, 1942, Vernonia Eagle, Vernonia, Oregon Olin to Head Fund Drive Nelson Gives 404 Signed Here Appeal for Gardens In Registration Launched under the endorsement of Governor Charles A. Sprague and opening on Child Health day as nationally proclaimed by President Roosevelt, the state-wide fund-rais ing drive of the Boys’ and Girls Aid society of Oregon begins May 1. In Vernonia, F. R. Olin has ac cepted chairmanship of the arive. Other county chairmen are Mrs. R. A. Dorris of Scappoose and George G. Van Natta of St. Helens. Governor Sprague, wishing the organization success in the lorth- coming drive, has issued the follow ing statement: “There is no stronger or more universal' appeal than that found in little children. In launching a state-wide campaign on May 1 to raise funds, the Boys’ and Girls’ Aid society can seek assistance from the public on the soundest basis possible. “The society’s record of service in the care and placing of children is well known and of long standing. Now it faces increased demands be cause of rising costs in living, de mands which I know the public will help to meet through generous donations.” “A farm garden on every farm is needed this year and for the duration to add to the nation’s food supply of necessary vegetables,” states George A. Nelson, Columbia county agricultural agent. Since the armed forces will require large parts of the commercial or < ried and canned packs of vegetables oif which the Allies will receive a large amount, and since the food will be higher in price, it is ex pected, families raising their >wn vegetables can help the war effort for food production. Transportation congestion will be relieved to the extent that 50 million farmers will produce their own vegetables right where they will be used. Farms on which vegetable gar dens have not been grown in recent years may now be put into use for the food production. Nelson slates, “It is not too late to plan and plant a vegetable garden”. 1 Thi3 Ki'.'.is one of billions of 9 The Victim usually doesn’t 1 * tuberculosis germs now at large.

Overwork at her studies at Ore gon State college during the winter caused a nervous condition which might have been the cause of the suicide, it was stated by authorit ies.
