THE PEOPLE
SPEAK - - -
To:
Vernonia Volunteer Fire Department
During the recent 1964 Christmas
week flooding of the Vernonia area
many persons lent their efforts to
the protection of life and property
and to them all the community owes
a debt of gratitude. A particular ci­
tation was voted to the volunteer
firemen of Vernonia by the City
Council at their regular meeting on
January 4, 1965.
To you of the Vernonia Volunteer
Fire Department who, by expendi­
ture of considerable personal, ex­
posure to bodily harm and sacrifice
of many hours of sleep, assisted in
this work of protection, the City of
Vernonia and its people extend their
great appreciation. We rest more se­
curely under your guardianship.
Sincerely,
Thomas M. Hobart,
Mayor
