POETRY Ode and Tribute to the Vernonia Hills On the hills of Old Vernonia, As you all may see, A touch of Autumn Splendor, On every maple tree. The autumn leaves are turning Orange, gold and red. Below the river’s flowing. And all the birds have fled. A peaceful autumn silence, Rests upon the hill. The twilight’s gently falling Over rock and rill. On the hills of Old Vernonia, As you all may see, A touch of Autumn Beauty On every maple tree. Composed by Nettie Adams Titus HE CARED ENOUGH to visit almost every home in VERNONIA For representative, vote 113 X Lawrence Meissner, Deer Island, Oregon Pd.

W hat’s the hurry here? The supporters of the proposed Medicare Tax would have you believe th at passage of this controversial bill is urgent... th at persons over 65 are deprived of needed med ical care because they can’t pay for it. Nothing could be further from the tru th . The Kerr-Mills Law, passed by Congress in 1960- and other state and local programs-enable indi vidual states to guarantee to every elderly person who needs help the health care he or she requires. We call th is h ealth p r o g r a m ... H e a ltlf Opportunity Program for the Elderly. Thou sands of people every day are being helped by its generous benefits.
