Two Initiated By Pythians
At the meeting of Vernonia Tem
ple No. 61, Pythian Sisters Wed
nesday evening, January 12, the
initiatory degree was conferred on
two candidates by MEC Leona
Haverland and her officers assist
ed by an eight-member degree
staf. Those receiving the degree
were Mrs. Jacqueline Scott and
Mrs. Dorothy Wilson, sisters.
Since this was the annual meet
ing for the organization, the aud
iting report was received and ne
cessary business cared for prepar
atory to the sending of an annual
report to Grand Temple.
Plans were made for holding in
stallation of 1966 officers prior to
the next meeting, January 26.
There will be a pot luck dinner
at 6:30 p.m. to which members
are inviting their families and
friends. The installation will be
held at 7:30 p.m. after which the
new oficers will conduct the meet
ing.
Messages were received from a
number of members who live
elsewhere in the form of holi
day greetings and notes enclosed
with dues.
There was considerable discus
sion of the Jamboree and the group
began plans for participation, both
with a float for the parade and a
display, perhaps of quilts as they
did several years ago. It was felt
this would be in keeping with the
Uerttonia Eagle
Jamboree theme, Pages from Our
Past.
Following the meeting, delicious
refreshments of sandwiches, pick
les and chips were served by Mrs.
Olivia Wood and Mrs. B. J. Horn
at tables cleverly decorated with
styrofoam snowman centerpiece
and small marshmallow snowmen
which had been made by Mrs.
Wood.

store and market across the street
where Sam’s Food Store is now.
He owned and operated that store
until 1945 when he turned it over
to his son and retired.
However, retirement held other
duties to keep him busy, for in
1948 he became mayor of Vernonia,
a job with a lot of work and no
pay. In 1951 he resigned that po
sition to become city recorder, a
job that he held until 1960 when he
really did retire.
.The Hearings became an integral
part of the Vernonia community
with active partiicipation in civic
and fraternal groups. In 1958-59,
they were worthy matron and pa
tron of Nehalem Chapter OES. Mrs.
Hearing devoted much time to
raising very beautiful flow e r s
which were frequently part of the
decorations for social events or
found their way in bouquets into
homes or places of business for
others to enjoy.
Since his complete retirement,
their greatest enjoyment has come
from “trailering” . They are mem
bers of the Oregon Trailer Club
and a large group of fellow mem
bers came Sunday for the recep
tion.
Among relatives here for the oc
casion were his brother, Earl F.
Hearing of McMinnville; her sis
ter, Mrs. May Hascall of Baker
and two brothers and wives, Mr.
and Mrs. Oren Cook of Lincoln
City and Mr. and Mrs. Floyd

and Mrs. O. L. Anderson and two

and Mr. and Mrs. Dick Elmer, Port
land.
Many former residents who had
been neighbors and customers of
the Hearings also were here to
extend their good wishes Sunday.

tion, a niece and husband, Mr. and

tions and good wishes from many
