shall E. Cornett, as did Gov. 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

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

The leaders of each house estab- j
lished a record for prompt organ

dicative of intent to avoid a long
session.
The first “baby” of the new
session was a clicking idea from

"Homemakers"
By ALDENE N. AHO,
Home Demonstration Agent
HELLO, THERE:
This week the women in north
Curry county are making slip
covers for upholstered chairs.
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.
Apples are plentiful on west
ern markets this month and are
mostly of go«*! quality. Here are
a couple of interesting now apple
recipes made and tested by U.
S. department of agriculture bu
reau of home economics.
Fried Apple and Bacon
Par«' tart apples, and cut into
cubes to make about two quarts.
Fry bacon in a heavy skillet and
when crisp, drain on absorbent
paper and keep in a warm place,
i^eave about 4 tablespoons of
ba -on fat in the skillet, fill it with
the apples, sprinkle on one-fourth
cup of sugar, cover and cook I
slowly until apples ar«' tender.!
Then remove the cover, turn the
apples gently so th«' pieces will
keep their shape and let them
brown and become transparent. I
Serve on a hot platter with the
bacon. If desire;!, use thin slices
« f ham or salt poll:, or sausage.

Card Of Thanks
To the Fire Department
of Brookings—
I want to thank you for the
very efficient manner in which
you worked to put out the grasi,
fire which threatened to destroy
my home. The area is fortunate
to have a volunteer department
which is as willing and able to
take care of an emergency. I ap
preciate the service which was
rendered to my family and me.
