Meet Delegates
At the meeting of Mt. Heart Re
bekah Lodge held Thursday eve
ning of last week, members were
happy to have Noble Grand Marie
Elliott again in the chair after an
absence from several meetings due
to illness. There was a good attend
ance of 30 members, also.
Mrs. B. J. Horn and Mrs. Charles
Minger were elected as delegates
to attend the Rebekah Assembly
sessions at Baker May 17 to 20.
Mrs. Henry Anderegg and Mrs.
Irma Chance were named as alter
nates. Also, Mrs. Horn is to be
recommended as district deputy
for the coming year. The recom
mendation is made at Assembly
and the appointment is made by
the Assembly president. Mrs. An
deregg will serve as assistant flag
escort at the Assembly sessions.
A guest at the meeting was Mrs.
Margaret Sinclair, a member of
Banner Lodge No. 53 at Lafayette.
She and her husband are in Ver
nonia at the present time and have
their trailer parked at Anderson
park.
Reports given by Mrs. Mary
Markham, chairman of the social
committee showed that a very good
meeting had been held at the home
of Mrs. Zoe Salomonsen April 5
with 15 members present. A total
of $13.50 was turned in from dona
tions made at that meeting and an
additional $35.66 from the food sale
held the day before Easter. Final
plans for that sale had been made
at the April 5 committee meeting.
This money will be used to cover
the cost of sending a girl from Ver
nonia high school to Girls State.
Reports also showed that Earl
Markham, husband of Edith Mark
ham, had been taken to the Forest
Grove nursing home, that Mrs.
Myrtle John, a member who re
sides in Portland, is recuperating
from recent surgery, that Mrs.
Zona Tandy is at home and making
slow recovery from her illness and
that Mrs. Grace Currie was not too
well.
The lodge voted a donation for
the senior banquet, also.
Prior to the meeting, members
had met at 7 p.m. for drill practice.
This will be done prior to each
meeting in order to have the drill
in readiness for presentation at the
district meeting later this spring
for which Mt. Heart lodge will be
host.
Following the meeting, refresh
ments of sandwiches and cake
were served by Mrs. Beulah Hall,
Mrs. Cora Lange and Mrs. Mary
Markham.
The next meeting of the lodge
will be April 28 and the next Social
committee meeting will be May 3
at the home of Mrs. Jean Conners
on Keasey route.
Selective Service D eferm ent
Test Q ualifications Given
The first of the Selective Ser
vice college qualification tests will
be offered to draft registrants in
Oregon May 14, Sprague Carter,
Selective Service director, an
nounced Wednesday of last week.
The tests are intended as “ a sec
ond line of defense” for Oregon
youths who seek student defer
ments, Carter explained. The stu
dent’s scores in the qualification
test do not in themselves deter
mine eligibility for deferment. But
the scores may be used by local
draft boards in considering appli
cations for deferment.
If a freshman’s college grades
put him near the bottom of his
class, for instance, but his scores
are high—above two point—on the
qualification test, the local draft
board may give him another
chance to make good in college
before reclassfying him, Carter ex
plained.
If his college grades place him
high in his class he may never
need to fall back on his qualifi
cation scores, Carter noted.
Carter recommends that all high
school seniors who expect to ask
for a student deferment in order
to attend college, apply for the
test forms at the nearest local
draft board.
He urges all college students
who expect deferments to take the
test.
To be eligible to take the test,
a man must be registered with
Selective Service and must intend
to request a deferment. He may
take the test only once.
To guarantee tnat he takes on
ly one test and that no one else
uses his name, each applicant is
fingerprinted as he reports for the
test.
Applications for the test by Co
lumbia county youths should be
made immediately through Local
Board No. 2, St. Helens. Applica
tions must be postmarked no later
than Saturday, April 23, 1966 and
mailed to the Selective Service
testing section of Science Research
Associates, Chicago, 111., which has
contracted to do all the testing
and score all the tests.
Th¿¿ company will determine
whether applicants take their tests
on May 14, May 21, or June 3.
Tests will be given on these dates
at six colleges in Portland and 13
elsewhere throughout Oregon.
No one will be permitted to take
the test without a ticket of ad
mission and test center address
card, Carter warned.
The tests start at 8:30 a.m. and
continue until about 1:30 p.m.

THE PEOPLE
SPEAK-
Most everyone in the Vernonia
area is familiar with the spring
that runs thru our property and
comes out in a trough by the road.
This is a year round spring, and
not only provides our water supply,
but a countless number of people
also stop there for water.
We have just discovered that
some person (or persons) have
gone up on the land in back of us
and dumped cans, bottles, boxes,
garbage and all sorts of trash into
this spring and several others that
feed into it.
We are contacting Longview Fi
ber, who owns the land behind us,
and the county health office, in
hopes of putting an end to this
problem, which could result in con
tamination of this spring for hu
man consumption.
