Beaver Ball Games Lucky For Family Some families seem to live un­ der a lucky star and the Art Gard­ ner family seems to be one of them. It will be recalled that last year Art was the winner of a ticket to Hawaii at a Beaver ball game. Last Thursday evening, at a game he did not attend, his grandson, Mike Beugli, aged three and a half, was the winner of a pony and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lester Beugli of Porltand, won a $150 grocery order. Mrs. Beugli is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Art Gardner. PEO Convention Reports Heard At a called meeting June 19, Chapter BS of the PEO Sister­ hood met with Mrs. W. H.

Support Your Vernonia Friendship Jamboree! Summer School Tour Is Taken Three teachers from the Ver­ nonia elementary schools took their summer school work this year in a different way which they found most interesting. They enrolled at Oregon College of Ed­ ucation, Monmouth, for a North­ west Pacific tour under the direc­ tion of Francis Haines, instruc­ tor in the social science depart­ ment who also is an author. The tour left Portland June 18 for a 12 day bus trip which cov­ ered 2400 miles, a history span of 150 years and included many points of interest overlooked by the average tourist. There were 35 teachers on the bus, in addi­ tion to the instructor and driver. Those included from Vernonia were Mrs. Noma Callister, Mrs. Gladys Worthington and Mrs. Mathilde Bergerson. The tour touched on history, geography, geology and science. Some of the points included were the north and south branches of the Oregon Trail along which they saw graves of pioneers, sites of massacres, and other historic events; various of the completed and uncompleted dams in both Oregon and Washington; the his­ toric Basque area of the Jordan valley; the Nez Perce Indian bat­ tle grounds and the grave of Chief Joseph; the old gold mining town of Idaho City; the unique and wonderfully attractive Chapel of the Rockies at Boise, Idaho; the Maryhill museum and Grand Coulee dam, to name a few. At La Grande, they were en­ tertained by a choir of Indians. In Twin Falls, Idaho the Vernonia la­ dies were entertained at the home of Mrs. Worthington’s nephew and wife. The instructor pointed out many things of interest along the way and gave much background information to help them enjoy the trip and to make it of value to them for future use in their teaching. They returned home Saturday of last week feeling that the time had been very well spent.

Mrs. Laschinger was a charter member of Willamette Temple No. 45 at Independence and two years ago she had re­ ceived recognition for 40 years of continuous membership there. However, since her residence in Vernonia, she had been so active in Vernonia Temple and so faith­ ful in her attendance that it was hard for anyone to remember that she was not a member here. Since this temple was not privileged to drape the charter for her, the me­ morial service was held. Nineteen members of the temple had at­ tended the services for her at the chapel that afternoon. During the evening, the rug project was concluded by the committee headed by Mrs. Olivia Wood who had made the braided rug. This week she delivered the rug to Mrs. Maude Wells. Mrs. Lucille Hickman was elec­ ted grand representative to attend grand temple sessions in Portland in October. Mrs. Cora Lange was named as alternate. The September ways and means committee, Faye Davis, Catherine Lentz and Leah Stiff, started their project by distributing Happiness Bags which had with them a verse explaining their use. Members are to drop in coins when special pleasores come their way and write on the accompanying sheet of paper why the coin was added. The bags and reports will be re­ turned at the first fall meeting, September 12. This was the last meeting until fall as the group recesses during July and August. Following the meeting, refresh­ ments of cup cakes and coffee were served by Laureta Lamping, Grayce Bundy and Jennie Stan­ ley at tables beautifully decorated with red roses. Members whose birthdays had occurred during April, May and June found their cakes adorned with lighted can­ dles and Happy Birthday was sung to them. D em on ia £a
