(Senator s Lowry) re ceived, a t telephone call from Medford; so when Governor Pat terson got up to' speak, he said, "Senator Lowry, you don't have to pay for being announced here; We do it for free." :. This, of course, brought applause, f ..' . It has been a busy week, both in - the legislature and socially. We "study and write letters, etc., in 5 thC evening after . we ' have been out. We, have found all the men and women of the legisla ture hard working and serious in their efforts for the State of Oregon. For many of them, and especially the young v couples with children, it's ' a sacrifice.' Some are living in: inadequate quarters and are paying exorbi tant prices for 1 them.
