VERNONIA-isms
By J.L.S.
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

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.

Vernonia Eagle
Dear Sir:
I wonder if you could help me?
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.

city council’s way of thinking, we
should probably stop all welfare
because a few are abusing it?
I would ask that the city council
give some more consideration to
this m atter and possibly review
