Witnesses Peace Pursuing Assembly Slated July 28-31
“It is necessary to get right
close to your work to become a
good hardwood floor layer,” stat
ed Robert (Bob) Butler, minister
of the Forest Grove congregation
of Jehovah’s Witnesses. “Christ
ians also, must get right close to
their Bibles and drink in its re
freshing waters of truth. In addi
tion,” he explained, “they must
continue to advance in their abil
ity to teach 'the good news of
God's kingdom,’ the source of
lasting peace. That’s why my
family and I are going to attend
the Pacific Northwest’s largest
Christian convention of the year,
the peace-pursuing district as
sembly of Jehovah's Witnesses.”
The convention, scheduled for
July 28-31 at Multnomah Stadi
um in Portland, will draw from
14,000 to 18,000 delegates who
will receive four days of inten
sive Bible instruction by top
speakers from Brooklyn, New
York, world headquarters of the
Watchtower Bible and Tract So
ciety, convention sponsors.
The purpose of the convention,
according to Butler, is to ensure
that all in attendance may be
armed with knowledge, faith and
ministerial zeal, so that they may
be equipped to withstand mod
ern-day pressures of materialism,
communism, racial strife and the
threat of disillusionment in these
non-peaceful times.
Bob acquired his schooling in
Spokane, Washington and is pres
ently employed as a hardwood

He and his wife, Jane, have one
daughter, Carolyn, who is 15 But

Jeb Fisher, the local station-
master, tells a story that hap
pened last winter during one
of our worst blizzards.
Seems there was i Center
City salesman down at the de
pot waiting for the scheduled
8:02 train. Storm raging the
way it was, small town, why,
the poor chap pictured himself
stranded for days. Suddenly a
train emerged from the storm
and creaked to a stop. It was
the 8:02, right on time!
The happy salesman shook
Jeb’s hand and said: "Weather
like this and your 8:02 is right
on time!” "Hate to disillusion
you, son,” said Jeb, “but this is
yesterday’s 8:02.”

Local 4-H Club Members
Join County Tour Group
toreen
Thursday, July 7, Mrs. Dave
Skidmore and Mrs. Henry Ander-
egg took four girls from Vernonia
who are members of 4-H home
economics clubs on the 4-H coun-
ty tour to Washougal and Camas,
Washington. The girls who went
from here were Irma Meyer, Pat
ty Anderson, Letitia Biddle and
Nancy Skidmore.
From here, the group went to
Scappoose to join the bus which
carried 56 members and chaper
ones to Washougal where they
toured the woolen mills. From
there they went to Camas where
they ate lunch in the city park,
then toured the Crown Zeller-
bach paper mill. A swim complet
ed the afternoon before boarding
the bus for home.
Mr. and Mrs. Richard Kahelin of Plant City, Florida,
couldn't be happier with the way their new Corvair has
worked out as a combination family and business car. On
their newspaper distribution route alone they travel more
than 100 miles a week over all kinds of roads. Little wonder
they’re so pleased with the gas mileage they've been getting
—“at least twenty-three miles to the gallon with an auto
matic transmission . . . and we've had no trouble with
our Corvair.” The Kahelins have equally good things to
say about Corvair’s easy-going comfort and unique con
venience features. They especially like the way the fold-
down seat doubles as a built-in baby sitter.
