By Ann Keed Burns Mrs. Marie Wilcox, the only woman in tho Oregon state senate, wishes more of her sex would run for the legislature. If a not that she feels lonely there. Mrs. Wilcox, an exceedingly pretty woman with chic black dresses and driven-snow niching, gets along very well with her 29 masculine colleagues. She just thinks women ought to take more of an interest. "It's women's own fault that they don't get in the legislature,'' aha said. "It isn't a glamour road. You don't just wait for someone to come and hand it to you on a silver platter. "But If women would take a more active part in community service and local political affairs, we'd have a lot more of them here." Last Senator Since Mrs. Lee The first woman ever elected to the legislature from Josephine county and the first woman sen ator since Portland's Mayor Dor othy McCuUough Lee, Mrs. Wil cox haa worked her way up slow ly. She started as secretary to a senator. She served in the house last session; moved up, this time? to thd senate. She has yet to spend a moment thinking she'd get along easier if she were a man. "There's never been a place I couldn't go," she said. The days when laws were made in pool rooms and beer parlors are a thing of the past. I don't think the men ever make me feel that I am par ticularly different from them." Tho sens to proved that by giv ing he. the chairmanship of the one job that women are supposed to know least about: the military affairs committeed which is now concerned with veterans' legisla tiona field in which Mrs. Wil cox's civic work was concentra ted. One secret of not being a man successfully is to eschew all the obvious feminine defects. Mrs. Wilcox makes it a point, for in stance, to be at her desk early. "It mustn't be the woman," she explained, who is late." Rnns Feed. Seed Store Mrs. Wilcox is well prepared for working with men, since that's what she does at home. Grants Pass.
