Bible Church Pastor
Leaves For New Field
Rev. and Mrs. E. J. Ruff who
have been in Vernonia for the
past three years while he was
pastor of the Vernonia Bible
church left this week for Corval­
lis, Montana where he will assume
the pastorate of a rural area
church. His leaving here is great­
ly regretted by the church and the
community. He has been very ac­
tive in the Vernonia Ministerial
association and in community ac­
tivities, also.
Last Sunday, the church enter­
tained the Ruffs at a dinner fol­
lowing the morning service.
Organ Concert Offered
At Christian Church
A treat in organ music is of­
fered this Sunday evening at the
First Christian church when Miss
Loretta Muralt from the Cascade
Music company in Portland pre­
sents an hour-long concert on a
Gulbransen organ, starting at 7:30
p.m.
The Christian church choir has
been building an organ fund for
some time and is nearing the time
when a selection of an organ for
the church will be made. The Gul­
bransen organ is being brought
here this week for trial in the
church.

Traveler Shares Experiences of 3-Week Mexican Trip
(Editor’s Note: The following
article was written by Mrs. Lau-
nee Cousins who recently returned
from a trip through Mexico. She
has shared her trip with others
by this means at the request of
the editor.)
On October 26 I began a trip
of which I had dreamed for many
years. Arrangements were made.
I was to fly by Western Airline
Jet to Los Angeles, then transfer
to another jet and fly to Mexico,
D.F. then transfer to a prop plane
of Mexican Airlines and fly to

Yucatan. I left Portland at 3:30

As only fifteen of the group of
twenty-four wished to go to Aca­
pulco. the trip was made in cars.
The city of Cuernavaca was as
beautiful as it is described and
the young school children were
having an exhibit of their work in
the lovely plaza in the city’s cen­
ter. We were eager to take pic­
tures and the mothers and teach­
ers were most cooperative in pos­
ing the children for us. Time was
passing so we didn’t get to take as
many pictures as we wanted.
It was very warm at Alcapulco.
Our hotel, the Ritz, was on the
water front with a lovely pool
within a few feet of the sandy
beach. The dining room was open
on three sides and so the breeze
kept it from being uncomfortable.
At the shops in the town several

the dresses were delivered to

of movie stars and notable people
were pointed out to us, including
the place where President and

The dead city of Uxmal is of

considered by many authorities
the most beautiful known Maya

very large platforms and is built
of over 20,000 hand cut stones. The
following morning we left at 7:00

I left Merida by plane at 4:00
p.m. and it was a wonderful sight
as we flew over the immense city
of Mexico’s Capitol after the lights
were on.
This visit to Yucatan was the
highlight of my three week trip
although I thrilled at all the scen­

crafts of the other areas we visit­
ed.
In Mexico City, the visits to the
gardens, temples cathederals, mar­

on Sunday and Monday. On Sun­
day at 9:30 a.m. we visited the
Palace of Fine Arts which was
about three blocks from our hotel.
There we saw the Mexican Ballet
and the glass screen sometimes
called the Tiffany screen, as it
was made by Tiffany of New
