Home Extension Agent

Need any help in building or
' remodeling your home? If so,
' let us know at once and there is
a strong possibility that we can
; plan for a visit at your home with
John Campbell, OSC housing spe­
cialist. to discuss any construction
problems you might be having.
In building a new home, Jonn
recomm, nds that an adequate
foundation and structural mem­
bers of ample strength are an
important consideration. Often
times the concrete footings that
support the center s.ction of the
house are und >rsize and therefore
overloaded. The average pi.r be-
neath the house should be from
2 feet to 2 feet 6 inches squai ■
Schedule for the Coming Week
The Chapman home extension
unit will meet at the hum? of
Mrs. W. Kammeyer at 10:30 un

and 8 inches deep. T'< > >n.h by
8 inch floor joists are adequate
up to 14 or 15 feet. A greater
span requires 2 by 10's.
There are many reasons for
wanting to remodel a horn?. Al­
though at one time it might have
been very satisfactory for you or
your parents or even grand-par­
ents, it might now seem tuc large
or too small for your pr . ent
family. Probably it was nut well-
planned to begin with and now
finally you feel that you want
to invest in changes that would
make it both more attractive as
well as more livable and conven­
ient for you.
Even before any planning is
begun, important questions must
be answered. It will not pay,
of course, to make over any luuse
that is not sound. Carrying out
a thorough remodeling job gen­
erally takes less mat. rial but
more labor than new construction.
Usually it is cheaper to build a
new house than to completely iv-
build an old one.
What will ne.ded repairs cost?
Look the house over carefully.
Check it over from foundation to
roof. The foundation may need
repairs or joists may need replac
ing. If the chimney is in bad
condition, it may have to be re­
built. Holes in the flashings—
the metal where sloping roofs
join, around chimneys, oi uth« r
places where a watertight seal 1«
needed—may cause leak . Niw
shingles or other roofing mav be
needed. Check also the condition
of siding, window and door tr-mes
and downspouts to see whether
they need to be replaced.
Is the building in a good loca­
tion? Th? site my be poorly
drained. Can this fault be cor-
rected? What will it cost? The
house should be on ground high
enough not to be under water
during heavy rams. The wat.r
table should not be so high as
to make sewage disposal difficult.

YESTERDAYS
FIVE YEARS AGO
From The Eagle, Jan. 27, 1949
Action in line with that being
carried out on a national scale
was taken here early last week
by the Vernonia PT A when the
group again talked of the cam­
paign against objectionable com­
ics, movies and radio programs
and took steps to carry on the
drive locally.
Work at the Oregon-American
mill was called off indefinitely
after the start made Monday be­
cause of the extreme cold which
prevented operation of some mill
machinery and because of ice on
the pond.
A new record was established
for Vernonia early this week as
far as minimum temperature
readings, according to Mrs. D. P.
Spofford, cooperative weather ob-
servor, who op.rates the weather
recording apparatus here.
The
official maximum and minimum
readings for every day since last
Wednesday are:

TEN YEARS AGO
From The Eagle. Jan. 27, 1944
An operating permit by which
the Oregon-American
Lumber
corporation will transport em­
ployees from their homes to the I
mill in Vernonia was granted on |
less than statutory notice by Pub- i
lie Utilities Commissioner George
H. Flagg.
Thirteen Vernonia women mo­
tored to Hillsboro Friday, Janu­
ary 24, and gave a pint of their
blood at the Red Cross doning
center.
Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Peasnall of
Portland have purchased the Em­
mons’ hatchery and feed store and
took possession last Sunday after
transactions had been made sev­
eral weeks ago.
The civilian defense police wer?
given service buttons this week
by Marshal A. D. Lolley.
Before a capacity crowd of
wildly excited Logger rooters
the veteran St. Helens Lions took
the measure of the local squad by
a score of 36-21.
FIFTEEN YEARS AGO
From The Eagle. Jan. 27. 1939
A report issued by Mrs. Wal­
lace McCrae, local Christmas Seal
sale chairman, this week revealed
Vernonia as making the largest
contribution of any community in
the county. The amount from
here was $220 06 and the figure
last year was $172.
The first snowfall of any amount
so far this winter came early last
Sunday morning. The tempera­
ture rose later in the morning
and the fall completely melt d.
Terminating five and a half
years service to the community,
it became known this week that
Doctor H. M. Bigelow. Vfmonia
dentist, was to change his resi­
dence to Portland where he will
occupy a position with the Veter­
ans hospital.
