FIVE YEARS AGO
From The Eagle, Feb 18, 1943
In a special service at the Evan­
gelical church Sunday morning,
February 21, at 11 o’clock, the
boys, numbering two hundred and
over, who have gone into the
armed forces from this and sur­
rounding communities or who
have in past years had a part in
community or high school life will
be remembered. A service flag
containing a star for each service
man has been made and will be
dedicated at that time.
Every enlisted man in the army,
if still in the United States, whose
prior employment was in the West
Coast lumber industry and who
has reached his 38th birthday on
or before February 28, 1943 may
now be discharged for the purpose
of resuming work in the woods or
sawmills.
TEN YEARS AGO
From the Eagle, Feb. 18, 1938
In a resolution which Vernonia
Grange members hope will have
far-reaching effect on highway
improvement in this valley, the
members voted Saturday to peti­
tion the Oregon state highway
commission to apply an all-
weather, dustless, oil surface from
Mist to the coast junction.
Lester Mulkey, owner of the
Fairway Grocery, and J. F. Rose,
meat market operator, announced
yesterday their plans to move
from Vernonia to Dallas, where
they have leased a building.
Probably before this page goes
to press Vernonia high school will
have a new high school athletic
coach. Coach W. F. MacDonald,
physical instructor here, asked at
the most recent school board
meeting to be relieved of his
coaching duties.
Oh, for the days of low prices!
