o O “ Ainetican Eeritage Tout Arouses Gets Face Lifting New Appreciation of Citizenship South First Ave. Of Margaret J. Oln Mr. and Mrs. Axel Olson of Reedsport but formerly of Ver nonia have announced the en gagement of their daughter Mar garet Jeanette to Edward Archie Dass, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ike Dass of Natal. No date has been set for the wedding. Warrenton Candidate To Get Degree Here One two block long street in Vernonia can probably boast the best record for improvement of any street in town and should be an example to all others. If this example were followed. Vernonia would undoubtedly be the neatest, most attractive town in Oregon. South First avenue is one of the streets that was torn up gen erally last year for sewer work and curbings. This year it has been newly surfaced and has be come a really good street. In keeping with this progress, the residents along it have been busy perking up their property. Most of the work has been done by "do it yourself” projects and they also report that all the materials used in the projects were pur chased locally. To show how active these folks have been, here are some of the accomplishments: New lawns in the parking strip improve the appearance at the homes of Ed Salomonson and Mrs. Zoe Whit sell; a sun deck has been added at the James Davies home; a new shingle roof tops the Ralph Harvey house; the Marvin Kam- holz house has had a new coat of paint and the ivy parking lawn has taken hold and made a good showing this year; a new lami nated shingle roof has been put on the house and garage at the George Robbins place and new posts have been set and a new wire fence built; the same type of roof has been applied at the Frank Lentz house and garage and new fence built, the garage has been painted and a new con- crete floor is being put in the garage and new walks poured; 80 feet of new fence, including new posts has been built on the corner lot by Bill Horn and ex- tensive work has bean done in side the house, also. The residents of that street in- vite others to take a drive down their street and see the results of their labors which exhibit their faith in the future of Ver nonia and their desire to make this the finest of home towns.
