Mc- kay in his message. He called attention to the fact that his ap pointment of Earl T. Newbry as secretary of state was appreci ated when Newbry was given the largest vote ever cast for any candidate for any office in the entire history of th«' state. He then suggested scholastic training be provided at the peni tentiary that the prison be now equipped with a furniture fac tory, a large tailor shop, and soap factory that commitment ages to state girls school be changed from 12 to 25 years of age to 12 to 18 years more hospital beds at the state’s two tubercu losis hospitals new buildings at feeble-minded home, school for th«' deaf and for state employes’ homes. He approved educational expansion and hoped “that some । | day th«' stat«' of Oregon will find ways and means to care for the elderly people, the sick, the blind, dependent children, without bend ing the servile knee to the fed eral government. Moving as even as the rhythm of an old sweet song the organ ization of the 45th Oregon legis lative assembly was consummated at the capitol in Salem, Monday morning. The calculations of President of the Senate Wm. E. Walsh and Speaker of the House Frank J. Van Dyke were precision perfect. Members of the senate and house were given the oath of of fice by Chief Justice Hall S. Lusk. ■ Officers of the two houses were electeci and appointments of floor, employees announced by 11 a. m.: The leaders of each house estab- j lished a record for prompt organ ization. This is taken as being in dicative of intent to avoid a long session. The first “baby” of the new session was a clicking idea from a member with the experience of eight previous sessions, an ac cepted legislative genius, Rep. Earl O. Hill of Lane county.

Mrs. Myrtle Carter, extension specialist house furnishings, is conducting the worshop. Women trained will be project leaders to assist others in their commun ities. Yes, the central and south ern parts of the county wall have their chance too, early in Feb ruary. One of the aims of ex tension service is more attractive homes throughout the nation. Often a bright slip cover over a dull chair will turn a drab room into a cheery one. Slip cov- ers also add variety and protect the chairs and davenoes. Next week several Curry coun ty 4-11 leaders will go to Corval lis for a state conference of the 4-H Association. We have no Co. 4-H leaders Association in Curry county at the present time, but we hope that one can be organ ized. A 4-H leaders association can help all leaders through an exchang«» of ideas and a planned county-w ide porgram of 4-II work.
