We had a first in our roll as parents this past week. One even ing last week when my four-year- old was here in the shon with me, I gave him some money, put a note in his pocket and sent him off to the store. I can remember going to the store for mom with a note and some money. Roy, that was really a big thing! Then that first time she sent me to the store without the note and I fouled up whatever it was I was supposed to get or lost th" money, then there was some explaining to do The point being that I knew full well that when I sent Chris off to the store that he would come back with the proper merchandise, be came that is th" kind of clerks we have in Vernonia, and that he woi.tf, have the proper change. There was no need to worry about him crossing bustling intersections, or the proverbial big kids bother ing him. These are the kinds of things that make Vernonia such a great place to live. --O - - Alone those sam e linos we hear some enninlaints about not having (lie bi" faney ball racks for the Little I.eai'ue or (he heated swim ming pool or a lot of Ihe other recreational facilities that some of the la re e r towns have.

At long last, the commission made their recommendations to the city. There was only one reoommend<xl change. That was that an elderly person who needed to be taken care of or needl'd to live close to someone that could look after them might live in a mobile home, that met certain requirements, for such a length of time as was neces sary to look after this elderly per son or persons. It look (he planning commission Six months of hard detail work to come up with this change. It took the city council a flat five minutes to reject the whole thing. 1 will not deny the council the right to reject the proposal, but in this case I disagree with that rejection and the manner in which it was re jected. The gist of the objection as 1 get it was that they were afraid of someone not moving out after the necessary can1 had been render ed. Tlie council really seemed to be up in the air about it. Now I ask you, do you slight the many for the fear of what one or two might do?

In April 1936, while a student in Vernonia, I wrote n fiction story that appeared in the school paper “The Little Eagle” entitled, Why It Rains, and it was in two parts I have the first part, but not the second! I am wondering if perhaps someone still lives in Vernonia that might have a copy of this school paper and the subsequent issue. Anything you can do to help me would be most appreciated. Sincerely.
