Reports on the museum covered
the heating problem which has been
solved by the installation of an oil
stove to heat the rooms. This seems
to be satisfactory. New articles are
being received to add to the display.
The Vernonia Gem and Fossil club
has brought a case with specimens

which belonged to Charles Caples is
one of the recent acquisitions, also.

Retiring President
Honored by Auxiliary
At the meeting of the ladies aux
iliary to the Veterans of World
War I Barracks November 22,
Mrs. L. E. Stiff, retiring president,
was presented with her past pres
ident s pin by Ms. Ralph Valpi-
ani, incoming president. She also
was given a plant and a special
ovation for her work during the
past two years.
During 1964, while she was vice-
president, she filled in as president
most of the year due to the pres
ident, Mrs. Lona Weidman, m eet
ing with an accident in which her
leg was broken. This year, she
moved up to president in her own
right. Also, she has brought addi
tional honor to the local auxiliary
by her election as district presi
dent, an office in which she is now
serving. H er husband is district
commander.
Family groups going out into the
forest to cut their own Christmas
trees for the holiday season are re
minded that permission of the land-
owner must first be obtained, ac
cording to State Forester J. E.
Schroeder. Damaging or removing
trees or any other vegetation from
lands without written consent is ex
pressly forbidden by law.
A very desirable approach to le
gally cutting the family Christmas
tree in the forest, Schroeder suggest
ed, is to contact one of the various
government or private forest land-
owners who have responded to this
demand by offering tree permits for
a fee.
It is also suggested that individ
uals transporting more than five
Christmas trees have evidence of
ownership. This includes the bill of
sale, the name and address of the
original owner, the number of trees
purchased, and the description of
the land. The only exceptions are
where the individual owns the land
or where a common carrier is in
volved.
