Tom) A wave of relief swept over the state house late this afternoon as the eleven-day-old senate dead lock was finally broken. The tension had become almost un bearable. As Eastern Oregon ians we feel an extra measure of satisfaction over the fact that Senate President Overhulse is from our side of the mountains. We came to know him well last session while he was still in the House and sat at the next desk. One resident of Sherman county must be especially proud and happy tonight. Miss Geraldine Overhulse, sister of the new Sen ate President, is a teacher in Rufus. This morning, while the Sen ate was still struggling with Its problem, I talked with the hus band of senator Jean Lewis. She was at that time still a candi date for the presidency. Mr. Lewis was diplomatically quiet about Senator Lewis's personal ideas about her candidacy. He had, however, been having some disturbing thoughts about his own situation should his wife become the first lady president of the Senate. "Somehow," he said, "I can't see myself pouring at teas for you ladies." The members of the House, meanwhile, have managed to get down to business. As of Thursday, January 24, 196 bills have been introduced. Tlie ma jority of them are ways and means bills, but more than thirty are tax bills introduced at the request of the interim tax study committee. Last Tuesday I was given one of those opportunities that come once in a lifetime. It was my birthday and as a special sur prise my husband asked the school basketball ' team, cheer leaders, and rooters went to Echo for a game. The Ponies won both games. The score to the B game was 9-0 in Heppner's favor and the A game score was 24-14. speaker to mention it from the platform at the end of the morn ing session. By almost sacred tradition secretaries NEVER say a word on the floor of the House during a session. The speaker, however, took me unaware when he followed his birthday greet ing by asking me how old I am. He undoubtedly did not expect a woman to answer such a ques tion, but this particular woman is not one to let golden oppor tunities pass her by. For the second time in the history of the Oregon Legislature a secretary rlarprl tr address the assembly and lived to tell the tale. This is a legend to save for my grand children. Three of the traditional enter tainments for the members of the Legislature and their wives have taken place in the last week. On Monday night we were honor guests at the Man of the Year dinner sponsored by the chamber of commerce in Sweet Home. One of our ex -members, Ed Cardwell of Sweet Home, was selected as senior Man of the Year. Wednesday night members of the Oregon Farm Bureau Federa tion were hosts for a most en-1 joyable evening. Their dinner' regularly features Oregon food products and was this year built around charcoal-broiled chicken. The thought of broiling enough chicken t0 feed over three hun dred people is enough to stagger any housewife, but it was beau tifully managed. TnHav tho wivps and ladv Rep resentatives were tea guests on the Willamette University cam pus. Our hostesses were mem bers of Town and Gown, an or ganization composed of Willa mett faculty wives and Salem townswomen. Next week the Senate commit tees will be organized and fun ctioning. New members in the House should be well acquainted with their duties by then. The pace will quicken all over the state house and we will all be busy at last. o Mr. and Mrs. Harold Evans flew to Portland Sunday for a week's stay.
