Merchants Use
Shopping News
T ■ ’ Merchants Committee of
the Vernonia Chamber of Com
merce has instituted a new plan
detuned to make it worth while
for persons in Vernonia and the
ad. acent area to shop at home.
The plan is for a shopping news
service through which merchants
offer week end specials. to the
people throughout the entire area.
The first one was distributed
about two weeks ago and met
with good response. Another pne
wij appear next weak and custo
mers can watch for thr?m at in
tervals of two or three weeks.
Because the shopping sheet is
distributed to everyone on all the
mail routes it is expected to
reach a maximum of the people
andf acquaint them with the ad
vantages of trading in Vernonia
v ’h merchants who seek to give
them the best in values.

VOLUME 32. NUMBER 44
Observers Find School Methods, Equipment Tops
With the announcement this
week of plans for observing Edu
cation Week from November 7
to 14, th? thoughts of everyone
are directed to the public schools
That Vernonia has schools to
be proud of is a statement no
one can deny for they excel in j
buildings and equipment, person
nel of instructors and quality of
instruction being given.
For anyon? over fifty who visits
the schools of Vernoma next week
another statement he may be
prompted to make is, ''Well, it
sure wasn't like this when I went
to school!" and anyone who hears
will read<ly agree.
