Chamber Echoes
The Vernonia Chamber of Com­
merce Monday night at its regu­
lar meeting discussed the role of
the Vernonia Volunteer Fire De­
partment in our community. It
was felt by many members that
we sometimes overlook the real
important things around us in our
every day living.
We write letters of complaint to
the city council about things we
don’t care for; we spend a day
sending persons to Salem to add
another face to a delegation and
we rack our brains trying to in­
crease the number of people to
add to our population signs. This
is all fine and good, but one mem­
ber brought up the question, What
is it that brings people to our com­
munity? What is it that makes
people say, “I like it here.”

The EUB and Christian churches
are planning a basketball game
in a few weeks. Again, why? Be­
cause it promotes fellowship be­
tween the congregations.
Several weeks ago when the
Vernonia Loggers played a game
in Clatskanie approximately three-
fourths of the crowd were people
from Vernonia. We had to drive
30 winding miles, they probab.y
only a few blocks. This the cham­
ber considers is exceptional com­
munity togetherness. This makes
Vernonia a good place in which
to live.
The Vernonia Fire Department
consists of 20 volunteer members.
They are on call 24 hours a day
seven days a week. Many times
they are called in the middle of
the night and many times in cold,
wet weather. In the summer you
may see the fire truck and several
members of the department down­
town washing and sweeping the
streets.
Several weeks ago about half the
department spent most of a cold,
rainy night saving the life of a
horse that had fallen into the Ne-

know the people that owned the
horse. In the fall the firemen clean
chimneys for persons who are un­
able to do the job themselves.
What makes Vernonia a good
place in which to live? The Cham­
ber of Commerce considers the
volunteer fire department an out­
standing contribution to the com­
merce of this area, and as an ex­
pression of their appreciation the
chamber has invited the entire de­
partment and their wives to be
their guests for an evening out
with the dinner of their choice at
the restaurant of their choice and
at the time of their choice.
