MIST — Mrs. Walter Mathews
■was hostess for a bridal shower
for Mrs. Tommy Holce at her
home last Friday afternoon. It
was one of the largest showers
given for some time, there being
about 50 guests present. The gifts
were many and very lovely. De­
licious refreshments of ice cream,
cake, coffee and punch were serv­
ed. A large wedding cake with
the usual bride and groom decora­
tion occupied the center of the
flower-decorated table. Guests
were present from Washington,
Scappoose, Vernonia, Birkenfeld,
Seaside, etc. Waitresses were
Margie Wikstrom, Margaret Wad­
dell, Miriam Corll and Bonnie
Closner.
Mr. and Mrs. Al Smith were up
from Seaside Sunday to visit the
Libels.
Another old pioneer has crossed
the great divide. Mrs. Dan Berg
who lived below Birkenfeld was
laid to rest Monday afternoon
beside her husband in the cem­
etery here. Funeral services were
held in the church. Two daugh­
ters, Mrs. Francis Larson and
Mrs. Howard Larson, three sons,
Alton, Norman and Vic Berg,
survive as well as several grand­
children and other relatives and
many friends. Her’s was a long
and useful life. The last years
of her life were filled with ¡lines-,
being kept down with rheumatism.

Restricted entry of the Tilla­
mook burn region except by per­
mit was ordered last week by
Governor John Hall. The order
went into effect Friday.
Regulated entry resulted from
the hazardous conditions of the
region and the large number of
persons entering the area. Berry
pickers and hunters spotting for
the coming season have been in
the region “by the hundreds”, it
was reported by John Doran
assistant district warden at For­
est Grove. Doran described the
region as dry and hazardous to
fires.
Though persons must obtain
permits to enter the area, the
Wilson river remains open for
fishing. It is permissable to go
from the highway to the river
bank without a permit, accord­
ing to Doran. Another exception
is all county roads.
Permits may be obtained from
the following:
Forest Grove forestry h°ad-
ouarters, Henry Rierson, Elsie;
Reehers camp, Owl camp, Jor­
dan Creek guard station, Neha­
lem guard station, Salmonberry
guard station, Tillamook guard
station, Jewell guard station, Bald
Mountain lookout, Trask guard
station and John Walker, Carl­
ton.
ill No smoking except places
designated as safe in the permit.
(2) No open fires except in
places designated as safe by the
permit.
(3) When using campfires ex­
cept when traveling as a pedes­
trian and or camping in improv­
ed, posted campgrounds, tools

^tended Sat.
Sept. 1 Is Last
Date to Apply
Veterans who have not applied
for terminal leave bonds for un­
used leave during active service
as enlisted men in World War II
have only until September 1 to do
so, the Oregon department of
veterans’ affairs warns.
County and veteran organiza­
tion service officers will assist
those eligible for this benefit
to complete the necessary forms,
which must be notarized and mail­
ed, along with photostatic copy of
discharge, to appropriate branches
of the armed forces listed on the
'application blank.
An important amendment passed
by the 80th Congress makes it
possible for brothers, sisters,
nepbews and nieces who survive
a deceased veteran to receive pay­
ment for his unused leave, the
state veteran’s agency points out.
Heretofor the only eligible sur­
vivors were the spouse, children
or parents of the deceased.
The deadline for Buch applicants
to apply is also September 1, pro­
vided the veteran died after dis­
charge and prior to applying for
the terminal leave bond.
Whenever survivors’ application
forms cannot be obtained locally,
such beneficiaries should write
the appropiate branch of the
armed forces and request that the
letter be considered in lieu of
formal application.
Veterans are further advised
that if they do not know whether
they are eligible for terminal
leave pay, they should apply in
any event, and let the finance
office make determination.

— but first, a summer check-up
Don't risk spoiling an all-day or week-end
trip. Be sure your car is in tip-top shape for
summer driving. Every car needs complete
chassis and mechanical lubrication against
summer heat and increased mileage. It also
needs fresh oil, clean spark plugs, efficient
cooling, accurate steering and wheel alignment
... in fact, a thorough check-up.
