Festive Affair
Nine members of the Past Chiefs
club met Thursdday evening of
last week at the home of Mrs. Ir­
ma Chance for a gala Christmas
party for which her rooms were
festively decorated. Secret p a 1
gifts under the Christmas tree ad­
ded interest to the occasion.
The group regretted the absence
of Mrs. Mathilde Bergerson who
had been hospitalized the previous
day and they signed a card to
send to her to let her know she
was thought of.
In memory of two other club
members who were recently de­
ceased, the club voted memorial
donations to the Pythian Home for
Launee Cousins and Tressie Mich-
ener.
Plans were made for participat­
ing in the making of homemade
candies for boxes to be sent to
the guests at the Pythian Home.
This project, carried out by Ver­
nonia Temple Friday at the home
of Mrs. Faye Davis, resulted in
boxes being packed for all the
guests at the home.
After the business session, conduct­
ed by President Murel Folken, was
concluded, Mrs. Olivia Wood played
the organ and the group sang Christ­
mas carols. This was followed by
refreshments which featured an as­
sortment of tea sandwiches, crack­
ers and dips and Christmas cookies
and candies. The opening of gifts
climaxed the evening.
The club will meet January 20 at
the home of Mrs. Harry Culbertson.

Pythian Party
Is Gala Affair
Vernonia Temple Pythian Sisters
met Wednesday evening of last
week for a short business session
conducted by MEC Leona Haver-
land which was followed by the
annual Christmas party.
Illness kept several members
from attending, among them Mrs.
Harry Culbertson, Mrs. Mathilde
Bergerson, Mrs. Wilbur Davis and
Mrs. Nels Hogberg.
Mrs. Murel Folken, chairman of
the gift committee, thanked mem­
bers for their wonderful response
with homemade candies which
permitted the packing of lovely
boxes for all residents at the Ore­
gon-Washington Pythian home at
Vancouver. The load of attractive­
ly wrapped packages, each decked
with a festive candy cane, was
taken to the home last week by
E. E. Garner.
Plans were made for a practice
session at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday ev­
ening of next week, December 29.
Initiation is scheduled for January
12.
Following the meeting, the group
adjourned to the festively decorat­
ed dining room for delicious re­
freshments served by Mrs. Mary
Markham, Mrs. Amelia Zamarripa
and Mrs. Murel Folken who was
acting for Mrs. Isabel Culbertson
who was ill. Tables were gay with
holly and Christmas decorations.
A tree decorated with handmade
ornaments by Mrs. Catherine Lentz
set the proper mood for the ex­
change of gifts by secret pals who
were revealed with this gift, thus
causing a lot of surprises. New
names were drawn for the coming
year.
Guests at the social part of the
meeting were Mrs. Jacqui Scott
and Mrs. Dottie Wilson. Dane Bra­
dy, who had accompanied his wife
to Vernonia that evening, joined
the group for refreshments.
Many greetings were received
from members who live else­
where at the present time.
Erich Porshman, sculptor and
painter, who is well known in art
circles in the Portland area, and
his wife Bumace, who does craft
work with plastics, will be guest
speakers at the meeting of the
Vernonia Society of Arts and Crafts
to be held Monday, January 3, at
8 p.m. at the West Oregon meet­
ing room. The Porshmans are
are known for their exhibits in
Portland and other areas. Mr.
Porshman is also well regarded
for his work as an instructor in
sculpting and painting and for his
combining of music with art in
concert which he has presented on
several occasions at the Portland
Museum of Art.
Mr. Porshman will display ex­
amples of his work, paintings as
well as sculptures. He will also
show color slides of some of his
favorite photographs, his sideline
or hobby being photography as an
art form. Mrs. Porshman will dis­
play articles she has crafted from
plastic materials. This should be
an outstanding program to all who
are interested in art and craft
work.
Although the Porshmans now re­
side at Beaverton, they plan to re­
tire soon to their tree farm at
Manning. Mrs. Porshman is a cous­
in of Welcome Rumbaugh, Vernon­
ia high school principal.
The Society meeting will begin
with a short business session and
the balance of the evening will
be turned over to Mr. and Mrs.
Porshman, to present their pro­
gram. The meeting is open to all
who are interested in attending.
In the event the weather should
be severe enough that road con­
ditions would prevent safe travel­
ing of the Porshmans to Vernonia,
they will postpone their visit here
to the first Monday in February,
in which case alternate program
plans will be presented consisting
of color slides and commentary on
Early Flemish Painting.
Health Board Warns Public
The Oregon State Board ol
Health has warned Oregon resi­
dents that the water filled plas­
tic balls, commonly referred to
as “ice balls” which have been
manufactured in Hong Kong con­
tain grossly contaminated water.
Dr. Richard H. Wilcox, stat?
health officer stated, “that the wa­
ter contained in the Hong Kong
manufactured “ice balls” has been
tested by the board of health lab­
oratories and found to contain
large numbers of coliform bac­
teria indicative of sewage contam­
ination.”
This warning should also be
heeded in regard to other water
filled plastic objects which carry
the Hong Kong label, Dr. Wilcox
emphasized.
Common use of the “ice balls”
requires freezing after which they
are used to cool beverages. The
freezing and thawing causes the
plastic to expand and contract and
may result in cracking of the plas­
tic shell which allows the water
to leak out.
Consumption of the contaminat­
ed water may result in serious
illness such as infectious hepatitis,
typhoid fever, dysentary and many
other communicable diseases.
Persons who possess the Hong
Kong manufactured “ice balls” or
other plastic water filled objects
are strongly urged to dispose of
them. They should not be given
to children as toys. Wholesale and
retail merchants are likewise urg­
ed to discontinue sale of the wa­
ter filled objects. If the manu­
facturing source cannot be deter­
