The eleventh Vernonia Friend­
ship Jamboree has passed into his­
tory but the memory lingers on.
On the whole, the memories are
pleasant ones in spite of the fact
that everyone who participated has
felt the need to recuperate this
week. Henry Anderegg, general
chairman, is to be congratulated
for the smoothness with which ev­
erything progressed. This was his
second year to head the Jamboree
and his comment this week is that
he has had it and it is time for
someone else to shoulder the colos­
sal job!
Kick-off for the event came Fri­
day evening with the Journal Ju­
nior show and the coronation of the
queen. The six candidates appear­
ed in forma's and each was escort­
ed to the platform to give a brief
talk about why she wished to be
Jamboree queen.

the platform by City Councilman

that being last to speak she could
but echo the sentiments of all the
others, and stated that since she
couldn't help but desire to go all
the way an<l represent the Jambo­
ree as queen.
Each girl was presented with a
gift as she was escorted to the plat­
form.

all strangers to the girls, retired

selecting the ton three, one of
whom they would designate as

Later in the show, the girls were
again called to the platform. Rose­
marie Siedelman was presented
with a watch in token of her out­
standing sale of buttons, which to­
talled over 600. Then Master of
Ceremonies Lloyd Quinn opened
the sealed envelope and announced
the judges’ decision which declar­
ed Fawnda Goodman as queen,
Rosemarie Siedelman first runner
up and Sandra Lindsley, second
r.inner up.
Miss Goodman, a surprised and
happy girl, was-crowned by .Mar­
sha Krieger, 1966 queen and began
her reign with words of apprecia­
tion and her pledge to serve her
community well. Mrs. Horn was
called to the platform and present­
ed with a gift from the girls.
Three other courts were repre­
sented and introduced. They were
the rodeo court for the county fair,
the Scappoose Pow Wow court and
the Rainier Daze court.
The Journal Juniors presented a
very excellent show and the crowd
was pood. It is also reported that
the Saturday night events, the
Jamboree Ball and the Teen dance,
drew good crowds and had good
music.
A number of people were disap­
pointed Sunday afternoon when the
old time music event failed to ma­
terialize but it had to be cancelled
after rrograms were out which ac­
counted for the mis-information.
For such happenings, the Jambo­
ree committee is sorry, but it was
unavoidable.

Check Assists
Zoning Survey
The Vernonia Rural Fire Protec­
tion District recently turned over
to the Vernonia Volunteer Eire De­
partment a check for $250 for use
toward the expense of updating
the system cf answering fire calls.
During the past two months,
young people hired for that pur
pose have made a survey of the
area, listing all residences and
property in the district and chart­
ing location of the property, build­
ings on it, water supply and other
pertinent information.
The area has been zoned with a
color to designate each zone. With­
in each zone, each home is assign­
ed a number and this is affixed to
the telephone. For instance, the
strip placed on the phone just ab­
ove the dial might be red and bear
the numbers 10-6. Should a fire oc­
cur in that home, the resident
would dial 3131 and report fire at
red 10-6. This gives all the informa­
tion needed. Firemen pull the cor­
responding card from the file and
enroute to the fire can determine
information needed.
