SLANTS FROM
THE SESSION
(By Mrs. C. A. 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.

week's stay.
