.. Dear Martaa:
Twaa dark and stormy
night but light wera bright In
the Finland embassy Sunday
evening. On of our few
-weatherome" evening of the
nil did not deter several hun
dred visitor from Joining
Finnish Minister and Madame
Nykopp In celebrating the an
niversary of Finland' Inde
pendence Day. Admiration not
only for the host but for the
country with It record of In
tegrity and stamina wa un
doubtedly the reason that the
downpour did not dampen the
enthusiasm of the guest. Sec
retary and Mrs. Doaglas Me
Cay cannot often include the
mbassy reception In their
schedule because of the Secre
tary's work load but this was
one occasion when they were
happy to be able to attend and
pay tribute to the official fam
ily of Finland. One unusual
Finnish tidbit on the recep
tion tables was marmalade
candy. But more unusual, or
possibly more timely because
of the advent of Christmas,
were reindeer sandwiches.
Mrs. McKay remarked upon
the predominance of black
costumes among the guests and
the hostess and the daughter of
the house. Miss Frltzl Nykopp.
alto wore black. Possibly the
rain rather than the "high
atyle" of black was account
able. One of civic Washington's
problems Is the continued use
of temporary buildings erected
during World War I. Particu
larly those that border the mall
in the area between the Wash
ington and Lincoln memorials
and those near the Capitol are
distressing to most Washing
tonians. While economy Is the
factor that keeps them In use,
there I continued agitation for
at least a gradual removal of
the eyesores. Working towards
that end Is a special commit
tee from the American Insti
tute of Architects, with Glenn
L. Stanton, Portland architect j
and pest president of the or
ganisation as its chairman. Last
' week the committee met In
Washington and Secretary Mc
Kay was asked to Join the
group for the discussions on
"when" and how." The Depart
ment of the Interior has a
special Interest In the matter

assignment of space In the tem
porary buuaings ana rental or
office space does not rest with
Interior but with Ok-neral Serv
ices Administration. The latter
agency la faced with the need
to cut costs and for the present
cannot see how the space In the
buildings can be spared, as
rental of privately owned
buildings would run up ex-j
penses for the government All j
concerned hope to find sol

Among visitors from Oregon '
last week were Arthur D.i
Sthaupp, Klamath Fall attor-
ney, well-known In Salem
through hi year of service as I
a member of the State High-1
way Commission; and Howard
Merrlam, Eugene, also a fre
quent Salem visitor in his in
terest in horticulture work.
Mis Jean Victor, daughter of
the Bert Victors of Salem,
called to extend her greet
ings to the Secretary during
the week. She has been a fed
eral employe for several
years.
Interesting honor guests at a
recent reception of the Amer
ican Newspaper Women's Club
were the Army Chief of Staff
and his wife, General and Mrs.
Matthew B. Ridgway. The bru
nette Mrs. Ridgway la always
strikingly attired with bright
colors that arc dramatic in
fact, even black loks dramatic
on her, whether or not there
are bright accents. The Gen
eral with his direct and pleas
ant greeting and the friendly
manner of "Penny," as she has
been called since her girlhood
in Washington, pleased the
guests who swarmed through
the club rooms. Among Mrs.
Ridgway's strong interest is
interior decorating and she has
had great delight in making
over the interior and furnish
ing the large but old red brick
house at Fort Myer, assigned
to the Army Chiefs of Staff by
tradition. Another Interest Is
flower arrangement and with
the background of her exper
ience In the Orient, her style
follows that of the Japanese,

Fall Term
Nearing
The End
By ALICE LEHMAN

Oregon State Collge, Cor
vallis (Special) News end
activities are slowly coming
to a halt here on the campus
as final week approaches. Fri
day mark the last day of fall
term classes and final exams
will begin Monday morning
and continue through Satur
day, December 19.
On the agenda before the
end of the term Is the selection
of the freshman rally squad.
One of the finalist for song
queen I Virginia Lively of
Salem.
Tuesday night the collge a
capella choir, women's and
men's glee, and orchestra
combined forces to present a
very beautiful candlelight
Christmas program. Selec
tions from the "Messiah" and
Christmas carols were includ
ed on the program.
i
. Always among the final ac-'
tivlties of each living organ
ization for fall term are
Christmas parties and Christ
mas caroling. Many organ
izations have the children
from the Children's Farm :
home in their houses for par- ;
ties full of tun and gifts. Most j
houses do their share of sing-1
ing at this time of the year, j
too. This Is the only time of i
the year when women's living
groups may sing at the men's
houses, so for a change we see
the women out braving the
cold and rain to deliver
Christmas cheer. Caroling
would not be complete unless
! the groups had traveled to the
hospitals and old peole's
homes, so many organizations
of this type here in Corvallis
are enjoying the music of the
college students.
It is hard to believe that
fall tern has come and gone,
but students are beginning to
realize it very quickly now
that classes are drawing to a
close and finals begin. Since
our books will be our main
subject of interest until the
vacation there will be no fur
ther activity news, but there
will be lot more come Janu
ary and winter term.
LEAVING thi evening on
the Cascade for San Francisco
to spend the week-end are Mr.
and Mrs. Robert B. Ebersole.
