THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, Salem, Oregon Thursday, February 23, '954 -FROM- Peg in Washington -BY Washington, D. C. Feb. 21. Dear Marian: Highlight of the past week hai been the vi:it of a contingency of Oregonians, moit of them members of the Governor'! Com mittee on Highway Safety, with Governor Paul L. Patterson him self beading up this group of vis iting Oregonians. From the opening of the gen eral session Wednesday morning when the President addressed the assembly , to the final general meeting with' the Vice President as the speaker, the visitors par ticipated in daily sessions of pan el groups in various phases of safety work. Individuals in the Oregon group attended the pan el in the f'dd of their own rep resentation nd then they joined Friday noon in an Oregon lunch eon meeting to crystallite the recommendations of the Presi dent's Conference. On Wednesday, Secretary Douglas McKay entertained the committee members in the In tenor dimn, room and it was general discussion of Oregon top ics and news rather than high way safety that engrossed the luncheon group that day. Most of the comi ittee bad opportunities to visit with Oiegon Congression al members and some of them sat in on Capitol cessions. A spe cial event v a the While House tour arranged lor early Friday morning in which a dozen of the committee joined, returning to report appreciatively on the at tractions of the executive man sion. You have had the namea of the committee, and I'll not repeat them here hut suffice to sty, that it was pleasant to have an opportunity to chatter with them about home and the home folks. , Other visitors from Oregon this week have been Dr. Walter E. Snyder, superintendent of Sa lem schools; 8. E. Brogoittl, of Helix, chairman of the State Board of Education; and E. H. Silke,, superintendent of Spring field schools, The three had been in Atlantic City for -educational I Some Notations., By M. L. F. As always, the annual "Sweet heart Party" of the Downtown Salem u club Wednesday night was a gala affair almost a riotous one because of that "character" peculiar to Lions clubs, the tailtwister and the tailtwister, Leo Reimann, was in top form last night, even to a "mink" bow tie . . . The club members entertained their wives at a dinner and pro gram at the Marion hotel, danc ing following the program . , . Carl ' Aschenbrenner, a past presiaent, was toastmaster and did his usual food job, but un der handicaps because of the heckling from said tailtwister all in fun, of course, to keep the party gay and laughing . . . Din ner music was played by a trio from Willamette university . . , Several games, a memory test one, a scrambled word one, etc., were played with prizes awarded. . . . The heart fund gained on the last one, "passing the water glass," the fines being turned over to the heart fund drive . . . The tables were bright with large bouquets of red tulips with white hearts tucked among them and red candles down the cen ter .. .

Krause, woo is a psychiatrist here.

Two Willamette University stu dents, Donald Berney and Charles Ruud, are in Washing ton for the special "Washington Semester" program offered by American University. At the Ore gon dinner recently they enjoyed meeting som. young fellow Ore gonions who are also studying in Washington. The students find that one of the greatest features of their semester in the national capital is the opportunity to study federal governmental oper ations at short rangi, as well as to have more time to visit his toric spots than the usual visitor who has all too few brief days here. For example, one of the Governor's Committee who re mained over an extra day report ed that he tran ped IS miles that day viewing some of the famous buildings, in order to get at least a general picture of the Wash ington scene in his brief time here. For those of us who are here longer, the chief difficulty in viewing some of these buildings is that we put off from week to week any of that kind of sight seeing, thinking there will be more time a little later. Do you suppose I'll come home without seeing the Smithsonian? Or go ing up In the Washington Monu ment? Adieu, Peg.
