Pattern Now Established For Life of Legislators By FRANCES LITTRELL , new mustache. We attended the Salem These days are be ginning to form a pattern, and we now have a feeling of be longing. We have learned to think of the little house at 320 North 19th sireet as home. ' The Jackson county delega tion, Mr. alarm, Phil and Al, are meeting each Thursday imme- riiatelv after the mornins ses sions for their weekly confer ence.' . I think the greatest shock 5 for the' freshman wives is the first time a page boy approaches you with a broad smile and says ,to your husband, "May I take - your coat, sir?," which he does, and you, (the wife) trot along down the hall behind the page to hang up your own coat on a rack in the hall just outside the legislators' locker room that has individual lockers. The lady legislators &lso have a locker room of, tbeir own. Now we think it's very funny and laugh about it, but the first week it just wasn't funny. The girls who have been here before admit thejr felt the same way the first - time it "happened to them. One of theQ nice surprises for us, the freshmen, is the friendly comradeship that exists not only between us, the wives and sec- - retaries, but which extends right ' on up to and including Governor and Mrs. Patterson. It's the ex , pectedc crather than the unex J pected, to see Governor Patter son in the legislator's hotel rooms just visiting or more often playing cribbage with them and with no discrimination as o political party affiliations, and Mrs. "Patterson visiting with a group of the wives, chatting about children, grandchildren, ., a new hat, etc. Just like home " the men in thair grouD and the women in ours. Monday the new 1955 Oregon Blue cBook was placed on our desks" and the cry immediately wentup, "The Blue Book isn't blue!'! And it isn't; it's yellow. H T - Al A. 1 t 1 .iviany oiner interesting tnings have been left on our desks this week, such as two packages of r"glad" bulbs from the Grants P a s s Chamber of Commerce, - two cans of salmon, apples from HoodcRiver. Now they tell Al he has to get some Rogue Val ley pears, just to keep in step. Last night we found at our door a box of assorted canned agri cultural products from all over j. i ri i i t me oaiem, wamDer oi com merce. They evidently know what the legislators' salaries are. 0 I Upon Governor Patterson's return from Washington, Al had a short meeting with him. Among other things they talked about th Talent irrigation proj ect, Al seemed pleased with what Governor Patterson said. However, the governor had al ready given a press release on his and President Eisenhower's talk, and you" no doubt will have read it before you see this. Enjoying this legislative ses sion more than anyone we have met is Mrs. DeArmond, wife of Representative DeArmond of RpnrL She creets evervnne with the expression, "Isn't it ex citing?" And from the grand mother's point of view, she is in a most enviable position be cause her grandchildren live here, and she sees them every day. , Our secretary of state, Earl T. Newbry, is sporting a trim" Shrine Sweetheart ball at the Marion hotel on Saturday eve, and the first person to greet us was Mr. Newbry. The combina tion of his mustache and the fez was too much for me. I asked Al to introduce me. Mr. Newbry now looks like rrol Flynn, the movie star. This is the 3rd day of Feb ruary and the 25th day of the session, also the last day on which bills from the House of Representatives may be intro duced The sessions are getting longer. The bills are increasing in number. There are approxi mately 600 now, and more to come. The issues and bills are more controversial both in the committee rooms and on the floor, so it's more interesting, too. One of the busiest persons in the capitol building this week has been Dr. E. R. Durno's friend and colleague, Dr. R. E. Purvine. Seems each and every one of us in both the House of Representatives and the Senate has succumbed to .the flu bug, and Dr. Purvine is here in the state house every morning through the courtesy of the Medical association. No afternoon sessions this week due to the lengthy and numerous committee meetings. Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Burt and two small sons, 2130 East Jack son boulevard, are on a winter vacation in southern California. The four are shown here enjoying an early morning walk on the desert after a breakfast ride at Smoke Tree ranch. Palm Springs, where they are guests.
