t 4 Thursday, September 28, 1944 Vernonia Eagle Service Club Work Commendable f LEDGE The efforts of one organization here, the Mother’s Service Club, deserves much favorable comment for the work that its members have done since the club’s organization shortly after Vernonia and vicinity began to contribute a lot of men to the armed forces. The club was organized to give what aid it could to the servicemen by providing them with convenienc­ es and with aid whenever needed. The work has been carried on with a will by club members who have donated their time and much material for the work. The latest project, that of providing a fund for long-distance telephone calls, is also worthy of men­ tion here. Servicemen stationed at distant points in the country may call their relatives collect and the charges will be paid by the club from the fund, no charge being made to the serviceman or his relatives who are called. nurses *.
