Pastor Marks
One Year Here
Schools to Recess
On Sunday, December 19, Rev.
Milton B. Gudmundsen will cele­
brate his first anniversary as pas­
tor of the Vernonia Church of the
Nazarene. He will preach the an­
nual Christmas message a t the
11:00 a.m. service, and preach
again at 7:00 p.m.
“This has been an interesting
year for me and for my family,’’
Rev. Gudmundsen is quoted as
saying. “We have come to know
and to appreciate the people of
this community, and value the
friendly acceptance that we have
found here. We feel that we are
a p art of the community, and plan
to be a p art for some time to
come.”
The Rev. Don DePasquale, mis­
sionary from Syria, who had plan­
ned to be guest speaker Sunday
evening has found it necessary to
cancel his tour of the Northwest.
A serious emergency, involving the
political conditions and the mis­
sionary work on his station has
come up and the Rev DePasquale
has had to return quickly to his
work. He sends his deep regrets
to the people of this area. There
is no plan as yet for his return
here.
For the service on Sunday morn­
ing, December 26 Rev. and Mrs.
Jam es Kratz, missionaries to Bra­
zil will be guests. Rev. Kratz will
speak at 11:00 a.m., telling of the
work in Brazil and other parts of
South America. Rev. and Mrs.
Kratz are fine musicians, and will
provide special organ and violin
music for that service. The pub­
lic is invited to all services.
It’s monoxide time again, says
the Traffic Safety and Education
Division of the Oregon Depart­
ment of Motor Vehicles. Exhaust
leaks can be deadly in a closed
car. Check your muffler and tail­
pipe. Be sure they’re in good con­
dition. Anytime the motor’s run­
ning, keep a window partially op­
en.
A shaky reputation is one that
is built on the things a man in­
tends to do tomorrow.
AT THE CHURCHES
All district 47J schools will recess
at the close of school Wednesday,
December 22 for the Christmas vaca­
tion. Wednesday will be a full school
day with busses taking students
home at the regular time. Assembles
and class parties will be held that
afternoon. Classes will resume Mon­
day, January 3.

Light up her Christmas with a Starate phone
What could be more thoughtful than a personal STARLITE®
extension phone —it saves steps, serves as a night light (with
its new PANELESCENT® dial) and adds a modern touch to
any room.
W hat rould be easier to give than a STARLITE phone—it comes
in a new gift package, or as a gift certificate, and you can charge
it on your regular monthly phone bill.
Call our Business Office today and order your gift-packaged
phone (available in your choice of five decorator colors). We’U
hook it up for you right after the holidays.
