Very attractive Friendship Jam ­
boree buttons are now ready to go
on sale and their purchase will en­
title purchasers to certain Jambor­

ciety of Arts and Crafts which was
asked to present suggestions. It
is an attractive green with a sprig
of evergreen centering the design.
Seal effect designs on either side
commemorate the tenth annual
Jamboree and the 75th anniversa­
ry of the incorporation of Vernonia
as a city. The buttons will make
very nice souvenirs of the occa­
sion. The Jamboree committee has
expressed their appreciation to An-
deregg for his designing of it.
