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.
