Some Notations ...
To Salem friends Wednesday
was a most appropriate day for
Mrs. Oswald Lord, U. S. delegate
to the United Nations, Human
Rights commission, to visit here
. . Mrs. Lord lectured on the
Willamette university campus
last evening ... . '
Salem folks first met Mrs. Lord
when she headed the women's
division in the national Citiicns
lor Eisenhower committee, and
Wednesday was the first anni
versary of the inauguration of
President Eisenhower . . . Mrs.
Lord worked throughout the
country in the Eisenhower cam
paign and made many friends in
Oregon who have kept in contact
with her since t . , She was a key
worker in the Eisenhower head
quarters at the Republican Na
tional convention in Chicago in
1952, several Oregonians visiting
her at that time ...
And so it was an "anniversary
occasion" for Mrs. Lord and Sa
lem friends ... the serial anni
versary event during her visit was
the party for which Mr. and Mrs.
Leon Perry, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon
Orputt and Jess Gard, the latter
three of Portland, entertained
last evening at the Perry home on
I'airmount Hill following the lec
ture of Mrs. Lord . . . For Mrs.
Lord, Mr. Orputt and Mr. Gard,
Republican natidnal committee
man from Oregon, it was another
anniversary, too all three had
been together at a party in Wash
ington, D. C, just a year ago last
night following the Eisenhower
inauguration . . . Mrs. Perry and
Mr. Orputt were both active in
the Oregon Citizens for Eisen
hower group . . .
Few public figures have we
met who is as gracious and friend
ly as Mrs. Lord, and has such
charm and ease as she in meeting
and chatting with large groups
of friends . . . One of the person
alities of the 1952 Republican
convention in Chicago impressing
this writer was Mrs. Lord and the
vast amount of detail for which
she was responsible at the Eisen
hower headquarters, and the
calmness and efficiency with
which she did her job . . . The
Bt m. l. f.
same enthusiasm, the same sin
cerity, the same thoroughness are
exressed in her new assignment
with United Nations ...
During the party Wednesday
evening, as a dedication for the
beautiful new recreation room
at the Perry home, Mayor A. W.
Loucks took over for a little cere
mony to present Mrs. Lord with a
key to the city of Salem . . .
Mrs. Lord was impressed with
the .she of the key . . . She said
her teen-age sons were wondering
about all of the keys she was
receiving in cities, and now, after
visiting Salem, she had a "real
key" to show them ... At Long
Beach she said the key was the
same size of a regular door one.
Among invited guests to the
Perry home were Governor and
Mrs. Paul L. Patterson and Mayor
and Mrs. A. W. Loucks and others
active with Mrs. Lord in the Cit
izens for Eisenhower groups
Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Potts, Mr.
and Mrs. Robert M. Needham, Mr.
and Mrs. Edward Roth, Mr. and
Mrs. Edwin H. Armstrong, Mr.
and Mrs. William L. Phillips, Sr.,
George Haley, Mr. and Mrs. Ger
hard Pagenstccher, Mr. and Mrs.
L. E. de Weese, Mrs. James W.
Mott, all of Salem; Mr. and Mrs.
Paul Hebb, Jess Gard, Mr. and
Mrs. Hal Short, Mr. and Mrs. Gor
don Orputt, Mr. and Mrs. Douglas
Barnes, Miss Leslie Tooze, all of
Portland; Mr. and Mrs. Bruce
Starker of Corvallis, Mr. and Mrs.
William N. Russell and Mr. and
Mrs. Lewis Hoffman, all of Eu
gene ...
Preceding the lecture by Mrs.
Lord, Mr. and Mrs. Robert M.
Needham were hosts at their
North 21st street home for an in
formal open house and buffet for
Portland friends coming to Salem
to greet Mrs. Lord and hear her
lecture , . . It, too, was a happy
reunion occasion for Citizens for
Eisenhower workers of the 1952
campaign, including several from
Salem who had worked with the
group, and "happy anniversary"
greetings were exchanged by
those who worked so hard for the
Eisenhower election . . .

Search Made
For Daughter
Last September 27 three teen
age Salem girls left their homes to
go to an afternoon movie. Their
parents and acquaintances in Sa
lem haven't seen them since, i
The parents of two of the girls
prefer not to make their names
public, though the names of the
girls are on police -"missing per
sons" records.
The nnrpnta nf Mia nthne nlrl
however, believe publicity may help
find their daughter. She is Gail
Westin, 16, and the parents arc Mr.
ana Mrs. Kermit westin, 540 North
14th.
Gail and two eirl friends went
to the picture show in the after
noon, ner lamer explained, but
they left early, and there the trail
is lost excerjt for a clue that ihnv
may have gone to Portland. As
ume nas gone on tne ponce and
the FBI have been cooperative,
Westin said. Gall is the only child
of the west ins.
"Her mother and' I are almost
crazy with worry about her," said
the father.
There is, of course, the fear of
foul play, or that the girls may
have gotten into serious difficul
ties that they have been unable to
overcome.
Westin, now unemployed, says
he has spent all the money he can
get in the search.
Gail Westin is described as 16
years old, 5 feet 7 inches tall,
weighing about 112, with blond hair
and blue eyes.
