Appointment of
Thiel Is Told
Senate President E. D. “Debbs”
Potts announced Friday his ap­
pointment of Senator Daniel Thiel,
Veteran Clatsop and Columbia
counties Democrat, to two legisla­
tive interim committees. The com­
mittees include legislative fiscal
and the emergency board.
“Since his inaugural voyage in
the senate in 1957, Sen. Thiel has
been recognized in both political
camps as one of the ablest and
forthright senators in the upper
chamber,” Potts noted after he an­
nounced the appointment. “This
well known virtue will surely make
him an asset to the two committees.
“During the last session he gain­
ed even more stature hv his active
role in three committees, which
included the co-chairmanship of the
all important ways and means
committee,” Potts concluded.

What is the Vernonia Action
Group Center?
A member describes it this way:
“Among other things it is a place
where you and your friends may
drop in at any time. An adult is in
attendance at all times and more
volunteers can be used to fill this
need. You may want to meet a
friend for a chat over a cup of
coffee or hold a committee meet­
ing where there are comfortable
chairs, etc. Later there will be pro­
jects under way in which you may
wish to participate in learning to
do things or perhaps teach others
crafts or art work that you know.”
Sunday, July 16 the Center was
open all day as it will be every
Sunday through the summer. Cof­
