Tri-Y Notes By MARY LOO HASTINGS i (Trl-Y Member) The most important part of YWCA has been somehow neglect ed in those columns. Afterall, we mustn't forget the people behind the activities and fun at the Y, I'm speaking of the staff which consists of three professional wo men and three non-professional women. In the professional group there is the executive director who is re sponsible for the entire Y associ ation. This big job is handled in Salem by Miss Gertude Acheson. Next, there is the young adult director who is responsible for all groups over 18 years of age. Such clubs would be Y-Wives, Co-Ucc, Golden Age, Y-news paper. Miss Acheson is also heading tins de partment as this position is now temporarily unfilled. Last in the professional group is the teen-age director, Miss Olorm Kainu. Her responsibility is to or. ganizo and direct all teen age act ivilies, both junior and senior high school. In the non-professional group. there is the bookkeeper and re ceptionist, Miss Betty May. Dar- line Trinnecr is the evening re ceptionist. Last among the non professional group is the house mother, Mrs. Eva Hickenger. In January the Y will havo a full time physical education in structor who will direct all gym nasium activities. As soon as the residence section of the building is completed, the Y will have a residence director. This is Just a preview of what kind of work the staff of the YWCA does. It's no wonder that there is such a great opportunity for Chris tian activities with such a fine staff backing it up.

Dear Marian: An extremely busy two weeks on the west coast are only a mem ory now, but what a pleasant memory for all of us displaced Oregonians. And now the equally ! busy days here have resumed. . Tonight : Secretary and Mrs. Douglas McKay are dinner guests of Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, Secre tary of Public Health, Education, and Welfare, and Mr. and Mrs, Nelson Rockefeller, who are hon oring the new United States Sen ator from Nebraska, Mrs. Eva Bowring. Mr. Rockefeller is Un dersecretary in the department headed by Mrs. Hobby, and the dinner Is being held at the Rocke feller residence on Foxhall Road. At noon Mrs. - McKay attended a White House luncheon for wives of the cabinet and the so-called "little cabinet." The latter con sists of the undersecretaries and' assistant secretaries, and the wives of these officials from the several departments have organ ized an informal and friendly group that often gathers for spe cial events, just as do the wives of the cabinet members in their smaller circle. . , Mrs. McKay was especially en thusiastic about the table decora tions, which she declared were breath-taking and the most beau tiful she has ever seen at the White House luncheons or dinners. A great profusion of pink small budded roses, combined with pink snapdragons, formed the bouquets that were in alternating high and low silver bowls. Tall silver candelabrum with white candles, id ropes of smllax down the cen ter ' and edges of the huge E-shaped table, completed the picture. Mrs. Eisenhower was seated in the center of the closed side of the table with the wives of two recently resigned officials on either side, Mrs. Joseph Dodge and Mrs. Russell Kyes, who came to Washington for the luncheon. There was no protocol in the seat ing arrangement contrary to of ficial dinners at the White House and everything was on an in formal and friendly scale. The President's wife greeted all of the guests in the Blue Room prior to the luncheon and joined with them in gay conversation in the East Room for coffee following the Camp Open House Set for Sunday 1 A camp open house for Girl Scouts and their families and all interested persons is planned for Sunday, May 23, at the Smith Creek Girl Scout camp, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Junior "camp committee will be present to an swer all questions and tour the camp.

As usual at functions at the execu tive mansion, the Marine Band played and the selections chosen were largely songs favored in yes teryear, ever popular, with Mrs. tisenhower. -In the rush of many things to report at the time of the recent Good Will Tour of embassies, -not sufficient account -was given of one of the mansions visited the one where tea was served, and at which the wife of the Vice Presi dent, Mrs. Richard Nixon; .was the gracious guest of honor. '.-The embassy, newly occupied by the Ambassador of the Dominican Re public and Senora de Moya, is particularly famous for the hand painted, 300-year-old wall paper in the dining room. Imported from Venice It is a tour stopper. The Georgian-type brick embassy houses many art treasures and will soon have additional hand made mahogany , furniture from the deMoyas' home in the Repub lic, -Another feature Is the gum wood panelling in the library, with a mellow burnished finish. Those who poured at the tea, in cluding Mrs. McKay, were de lighted with the lovely surround ings in which they served as their contributions to the Good Will In dustries, an agency for the re habilitation of the handicapped also known in Oregon for its con structive local nroaram there. And speaking of embassies, and good will, tnis weeK is worm Trade Week in Washington, with the ambassadors and ministers of foreign countries cooperating with the World Trade Committee of the Board of Trade of the Dis trict in several programs. Sec retary McKay attended a lunch eon Monday noon on his first day back in the city and on Thurs day evening he will speak at an evening program in the Interior Auditorium with international en tertainment arranged by talent from the embassies. The last program is a much gayer note than the underlying tensions of the international sit uation but at least a portion of the world as represented of ficially in Washington is trying to cooperate.
