It has come to the attention of
the Camp Wilkerson Advisory
Committee that Stuart B John
son has resigned his position at
the Columbia County Park Com
mission
For three years Stuart has
been involved in the rebuilding
of that facility and has been one
of the most instrumental persons
in lending his most able advice,
his personal equipment, his val
uable time and many materials
to the completion of the lodge
project
Mr Stuart has often expressed
his concern about the youth of
the County and of the im
portance of offering a camp
facility such as Wilkerson as one
alternative to activities of youth
which are of a negative nature
The Advisory Committee feels
it speaks for all the citizens and
particularly the youth of the
county in expressing a sincere
thanks to Stuart and wish him
well in his expanding business
and the family obligations which
necessitate his resignation
Sincerely,
The Camp Wilkerson
Advisory Committee

Style Show
Three members of the staff of
the Cut and Curl Room in
Vernonia, attended a hair style
showing at the Thunderbird
Motel at Jantzen Beach Monday.
December 3.
Mary Ann Ceballos. Carol
Barker and Juanita Morford.
owner of the beauty salon,
enjoyed two films on sculpture
cutting and blow dry styling,
presented by Paul Mitchell, then
watched actual demonstrations
of the technique by hair style
artist Richard Hensen Included
in the show was the first-time
viewing of the hair styling
artistry used on a male model
Sculpture cutting—to t h e
shape of the head—then blow
drying eliminates the hardship
of nightly pinups as the hair is
cut to fall into place with only the
occasional use of electric curlers
or a pin curl or two for a touch of
curl
The show was presented by
Clairol Inc who also treated the
group to a showing of the latest
hair coloring techniques which
feature blending hair color in
stead of tinting it one solid color

Mrs
Choose Toys
About 43.000 toy-related injur
ies serious enough to be treated
in hospital emergency rooms are
reported in one year In the past
two years the federal govern
ment has banned about 1500 toys,
but the removal of these toys
from store shelves did not re
duce the number of injuries. 5000
new toys become available
every year.
So. recommends Carol A Ash
ley, Columbia County Extension
Agent consider these safety
suggestions from the Consumer
Product Safety Commission as
you shop for toys this year:
Choose carefully and selec
tively- any tov can be danger
ous if misused
Choose a toy appropriate to the
child's age and development-
many toys have suggested age
groups on the labels Read them
carefully
Check label on fabric products
for some indication that the
fabric is flame retardant or
flame resistant For stuffed toys,
check labels for washable or
hygienic materials notices
Avoid toys that produce ex
cessive noise
Avoid shooting games, espec
ially those involving darts and
arrows unless they are played
under supervision
Select chemistry sets and
electrically operated toys, es
pecially those that produce heat,
for older children only
Check toys for such things as
sharp points and jagged edges
and loose small parts
If you wish to know what toys
have been banned, call the toll
free number 800-638-2666 and ask
for the Consumer Product Safety
Commission's "Banned Product
List ” If you have a question
about a particular toy or you
want to make a complaint about
a toy you feel is unsafe, call the
same number and leave your
name and telephone number A
staff member will return your
call
