The meeting will open with a pot­

attend, according to Mrs. Severin
Posch, chairman of the dinner com­
mittee.
Dr. Paul Rasmussen, who will
serve on the panel discussing, “What
is a retarded child” , moved to Port­
land three years ago to accept a po­
sition at Doembecher hospital. He
now works in the crippled children’s
division. Dr. Rasmussen worked for
16 years in the field of pediatrics
in the Medical School of the Universi­
ty of Utah. “Just by interest” , says
Dr. Rasmussen, who once establish­
ed a crippled children’s clinic in
Bangkok, Siam, when he worked for
the state department, “I find my­
self more and more involved in cases
involving cerebral palsy and retar­
dation.” He indicated he somehow
falls heir to work with the handicap­
ped because he “never did like to
get in a hurry” with parents who
want to talk over their problems.

Longer Hours
To Aid Service
Longer post office window hours,
e x p a n d e d delivery services and
large-scale extension of the ZIP-
coded parcel post speedup are plan­
ned for Christmas, Postmaster Gen­
eral John A. Grounouski has advised
the local postmaster, O. T. Bate­
man.
Grounouski outlined to the Ver­
nonia postal head, three major new
steps he has taken “for the best
Christmas mail service the postal
service has ever had.”
1. Expanded post office window
hours December 5 to 26 as deemed
necessary by the local postmaster.
2. A six day week December 7-
31 for parcel post deliveries, instead
of a five-day week.
3. Completion by November 1 of
Phase III of the ZIP Code parcel
handling at about 130 more “section­
al center” post offices (strategically
located mail massing points), provid­
ing faster delivery up to 24 hours or
more for parcels with ZIP Code.
In Phase I and II, approximately
75 offices with receipts of $5 million
annually and above, activated faster
ZIP Code sorting and dispatch by
September 1. The 130 Phase HI in­
cludes offices with receipts of $1
to $5 million.
In addition, many other sectional
center offices with smaller receipts
will have the program in operation
by early December, in time to help
speed delivery of Christmas gifts
mailed with the ZIP Code.
The postmaster general told Bate­
man the Christmas plans are part
of a nationwide program to bring
postmasters into more responsible
positions in postal management as
"real partners in providing better
mail service at all levels.”

Game Interest
CAPITOL HILL — Many Vernonia
people were interested in watching
the part that Marvin Crowston play­
ed in the Saturday football game
with the Oregon State Beavers and
Northwestern College in Illinois. He
graduated from high school in Ver­
nonia, and entered Oregon State on a
scholarship and is now a junior
there. His sister is Mrs. Jack Odam
of Capitol Hill.
Week end guests at the Will Hard­
ers home were Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Grey Saturday evening and Mr. and
Mrs. Nelson Welty of Portland on
Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Seibel from
Goble spent Saturday and Saturday
night with their son and family, Mr.
and Mrs. Dave Seibel, enroute to
Tillamook where they plan to do
some fishing.
Mr. and Mrs. Donald Savage and
daughers, Diane, Kathleen and Pen­
ny Ann spent Sunday in Corvallis at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Sav­
age. father of Mr. Savage. The oc­
casion was a birthday dinner in hon­
or of Leon Savage.
Little John and Roxanne Meier are
ill this week with severe colds and
sore throats.
Adding a new activity to Capitol
hill is the building recently construct­
ed by Harlan Bailey on his property
to be used for a used car parts busi­
ness.
On balance it appears that the tax­
payer will continue to pay more for
the expanding package of public ser­
vices which he demands.
Education Aid
Plan A vailable
Children of living veterans who
are totally and permanently disabled
from service connected causes may
now participate in the federal war
orphans education assistance pro­
gram, H. J. Erickson, the Columbia
county veteran's service officer, re­
ports.
Erickson said such children should
contact him immediately for assis­
tance in filing their applications if
they expect to enroll in college un­
der the program this fall. His office
is located in the city hall, Vernonia,
first and third Tuesday each month,
from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The program, administered by the
Veterans Administration, formerly
applied only to those children whose
veteran-parent died as a result of
service in the Armed Forces.
-The new law, passed in July, now
extends the program to children of
veterans of the Spanish-American
War, World War I, World War II,
the Korean Conflict and peacetime
service who have been both perma­
nently and totally disabled by ill­
ness or injury attributable either to
their wartime service or, in the case
of peacetime veterans, to disabilities
received in line of duty.
Eligibility may also be established
in those cases where the veteran
died while a disability so evaluateo
was in existence, even though the
death was not due to the service con­
nected disability.
The law provides for benefits up
to $100 a month for full-time enroll­
ment and proportionately lower for
part-time study for eligible childrer
attending college or pursuing non­
college courses leading to gainful
employment. Courses on the high
school level are not allowed.
Age limits are set at 18 to 23, but
in certain cases exceptions can be
made. Handicapped children who
may have to take special training
may start at age 14.
