December 10 - Maxine Medges
One of the first things Eng­
land's Oliver Cromwell and his
Puritan followers did when they
came to power in 1644 was to ban
the celebration of Christmas
Why’’ Because they believed the
whole thing smacked of “im­
moral sun worship ’’
To the Editor:
On behalf of the Vernonia High
School ('horus, I would personal­
ly like to take this opportunity to
invite everyone to our annual
Christmas Vespers This pro­
gram gives people a chance to do
three things people like to do
during this season to hear
traditional Christmas music, to
listen to the reading of the
Christmas story, ana to sing
favorite Christmas carols
The program has been held for
the past four years at various
churches in town, thus giving the
program an intimacy that can­
not be achieved in the high
school gym It also gives us the
availability of an organ to use for
the community singing, which is
zestful and enthusiastic! Else
where in this edition of the
Eagle, vou will find more details
about the program
Regardless of whether you
have children in chorus, won’t
you join us on the 22nd for an
enjoyable musical expression of
the Christmas spirit9
Sincerely.
Ward Nelson
High School Chorus Director
We, the people of Vernonia
have been asked for donations
for various projects, many of
which the funds go out of town
We have a project that I feel will
be beneficial to the people of
Vernonia and the surrounding
area
We need a piece of equipment
for the ambulance called a
difibulator This machine is used
on heart cases The article in the
Vernonia Eagle stated that
about three-fourths of the cases
were cardiac patients
This
machine is used to correct
erratic heart beats Our local
doctor when asked if he thought
we needed such a machine,
stated. “It is something we hope
we never need but if we could
save one life it would be worth
ROARING YOUR WAY WITH
SEASON’S BEST WISHES!
SUNNYSIDE SERVICE
R udy and F ran
Ï
it.” At the present time heart
conditions and disease are the
biggest killers we have today
As you all know, we are
approximately 30 miles from a
hospital which will take probab
ly from 30 to 45 minutes to get a
patient to a hospital and with this
machine it is possible to save
someone's life on the way
The machine that is recom­
mended will cost about 34500 We
are contacting the large com­
panies in the area for help hut if
this fails I would like to see a
community proiect to raise these
funds for li would certainly be a
benefit to the people of the
community.
We have at least 3500 people in
the area and if we could get 31.50
from each, we could purchase
the machine We also have three
people who are receiving train­
ing in the operation of the
machine
Donations to this can be sent to
the Chief of Police Jack Cun­
ningham or to the city ambul­
ance fund There are also cans
set up in businesses around town
for donations to this cause
