MEMBER ¡Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association VERNONIA-isms By J.L.S. Please take special note of the letter to the editor from Betty Curl that appears elsewhere on this page. She has done a common dable job in the writing of a thank you letter to the many people who helped with the melodrama. I think that Betty should bo allowed to wear her arm in a cast, for if she gave half the credit where credit was due, she would have to break her arm from patting herself on the back. It you missed the play, you missed a very good production. Though I am in no way a drama critic, I think the parts were all well played. A multitude of talents was uncovered in neighbors of yours and mine. - -O ~- The Little League is striving to make ends meet and they are not just asking for donations but get ting out and working for their own keep. If at all possible, I urge you to take advantage of the “ Poor Boy” meal that the Little League is sponsoring. You will get, I am sure, a delicious meal as a reward for helping the boys. I don’t think that I need to go into the merits of the youngsters baseball programs other than to say that it is very important to the town as a recreational and in structional program for the boys. —O— One of the highlights of the year for Vernonia, of course, is the Jamboree. This year we truly have four outstanding young ladies rep resenting the people of Vernonia. They are a very ambitious group as they have really been out push ing the sale of buttons and spreading the word. In a time when so many of our young people seem to be bent on tearing down the society, it is real ly encouraging to see that each girl stated in her resume that the tilings she Uked about Vernonia was the way the people were cap able of working together and get ting things done. To you girls, you are doing a fine job. I am proud of you for the community and I hop«' you will continue to do this outstanding job. I a in glad that I will not have to be one of the judges. But Which ever one of you is crowned queen will surely have earned it. Good Luck to each of you. JO Y THEATER Fri., Sat.
