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.
