Late summer reading
at horse fair
b> PATRICIA CURL
I have read f ive books lately that are great late summer
reading
(.ary Cooper by Hector Arce is filled with many in
teresting facts about one of the Hollywood greats Coop
has always been one my favorite actors
Cooper had an affair with (.Tara Bow, the " I t " girl of
silent films I didn't know this. I didn’t know either that
1926 was the year of Cooper's first film. Coop's last film,
the The Naked Edge." was in 1961. that's a career of 35
years For most of those years Cooper was hot at the box
office
This book w ill delight Cooper fans, and fans of the
glamour that was Hollywood.
A couple of years ago, Christina Crawford, Joan
Crawford's daughter. wTote 'Mommie Dearest," a book
about her life as a Hollywood child.
Mommie IV arest" portrayed Joan Crawford as a
ruthless woman intent on stardom at any cost. According
to (hristina, Joan was not adverse to using her children as
props to further her career. Joan, according to her
daughter, was also a strict disciplinarian whose methods
often became child abuse.
The other day 1 was searching the Sandy Library
shelves when I came across "M y Way of lif e ” by Joan
Crawford. I decided I had to read it since 1 had read
"Mommie D e a re st’
In "M> Way of lif e " Joan Crawford gives hints on
everything from decorating to hair dressing Oie thing
that came through loud and clear was the perfection and
Jem sted t says

w ith legislature
.'
t
State Sen. Ken Jemstedt,
R-Hood River, said he is
pleased with actions taken by
the legislature
special
session to defuse the largest
budget d e ficit in state
history.
The Legislature erased the
potential deficit of more than
$200 million by cutting some
$130 million from current
budgets and by speeding
state tax collections by
nearly $100 million.
Jemstedt, who served on
three of the four committees
which
crafted
the
legislature's response, said
no program will be ham
pered or hamstrung by the
budget cuts, which averaged
some 13 percent of the state
budget.
" I'm proud that I suc
c e s s fu lly
opposed
suggestions that cuts be
made in tax relief programs
or in state aid to local
schools," the local legislator
said.
" I believed, as did the
governor, that cuts should
come from
the state
bureaucracy, rath er than
from local governments, tax
relief programs or services
to the truly needy," Jem
stedt said.
"The most innocent and
least fortunate among us will
not be required to shoulder
the burden or bear the brunt
of the budget cuts,” he ad
ded. "The major cuts were
made in administration, not
is essential services to
people. We cut into the fat,
not the muscle, of state
administrative
services.”
Heavy cuts in Human
Resources programs, in
cluding child care, MIC, 4-C
Councils and programs for
the
handicapped
were
averted.
The Legislature also
established a $4 2 million
emergency
fund
fo r
programs which might have
difficulties between now and
the next legislative session in
January.
• We really faced only two
options, cutting budgets or
increasing taxes," he said
"We felt it would be grossly
* irresponsible to increase
taxes or to decimate tax
re lie f at a tim e when
Oregonians are facing
economic dislocation and
distress.
"State government must
be a equal partner in the
painful process of belt
tightening. The action of the
legislature guarantees that
the state will keep this
commitment

discipline Joan Crawford craved. The very things
stressed by Christina in “ Mommie Dearest."
Bead it yourself and if you have read "Mommie
IVarest" you’ll see what I mean. It Is good insight into the
life of a great but troubled star
English royalty and aristocracy are fascinating tome. I
read as much about both as 1 can find. Recently I read a
very good biography of Queen Alexandra by Georgina
Battiscombe. Quen .Alexandra was the wife of King
Edward V II of England.
Alix, as she was called, was a Danish princess, the
daughter of King Christian of Denmark
Alix was married to Edward, Prince of Wales, in
March, 1863 Although the young couple did not know
each other well, their marriage was a love match, as it
would remain throughout their life together. Edward V II
had many mistresses, among them Lillie I ng try Queen
Alexandra was tolerant. She is quoted as saying, "Bertie
always loved me best."
As he did. The English people, commoner and royalty
alike, loved Queen Alexandra too. After a serious bout
with typhoid fever. Alix was left with a limp. The ladies of
society affected the limp; it was known as the "Alexandra
lim p” and became quite the rage.
Can you imagine anyone doing that today for a
politician or monarch? Times have changed. If you enjoy
biographies, “ Queen Alexandra" is for you.
This last weekend I read a good thriller. "The Glow" by
Brooks Stanwood is a good blend of suspense and the
supernatural If you liked "Rosemary’s Baby” by Ira
l^ v in you w ill like "The Glow."
