The chamber of commerce board of directors were informed Mon- day of the winners of the cham ber-sponsored window painting contest which took place early last week and decided upon a policy concerning requests for donations as the principal topics of the meeting. The windows named winners in the painting contest were: first, Bush Furniture, painted by Ron Anderegg. Rosalie Badley and ■ Danny Fletcher; second. Nichols Variety, painted by Vir ginia Ray, Bonnie Rainwater and Priscilla Hickman; and third, Sam's Food Store, the blue win dow, painted by Pat Normand. The weather did not cooperate so that all of the windows whose merchants had signed up for prizes and willingness to partici pate could be painted. Special recognition was given to the two windows done by the seventh and eighth grade girls at Vernonia Bakery and Schaum- burgs. They wer > not judged in competition by request of Dar- rold Proehl, superintendent. They were very good and caused lots of comment. Merchants other than those listed who had their windows painted and gave prizes were Jay's Cafe, Safeway Store, Ver- nohia Drug and Westerns. Those who were prepared to participate were Hahn Hardware, Sund- land’s. Brunsman’s, Vernonia Va riety, Bill Olinger, Texaco, Kul- lander Jewelry, Jones Grocery, Mill Market, King's Grocery, Ne halem Service, Henry Anderegg and Art Ostrander. Don Bayley, Sunnyside Service and West Oregon Electric gave prize money. Judges Mrs. Lyman Hawken Sr., Mrs. Ralph Valpiam and Mrs. Harry Culbertson; art in structors Mrs. Carolyn Feasey and Mrs. Nancy Chalmers and the high school and grade school students taking part were given a vote of thanks by the chamber. The date for the next member ship meeting was set for January 6 and from then on, membership meetings will fall in the first month of each quarter. The policy was established that the chamber of commerce is not a benevolent organization and could not give donations for the many requests made. While they would like to give and feel that most of the requests are fo> worthwhile and legitimate causes, most of the business men and others belonging to the chamber contribute at their places of bus iness or as individuals.
