SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday. March 13, 1933 Sessions of Legislature Now Longer; Parties Given By FRANCES LITTRELL " Salem Friday of last week we sat through our longest ses sion to date. The discussion on the tax interim committee's House bills 40 to 47 lasted al most five hours; finally all were passed with the exception of 45. This week we received fever al luncheon invitations from the other wives and secretaries, These parties are from necessity small due to the compactness of our living quarters. One of the most relaxed and enjoyable gatherings was at the home of Nancy Colbert, wife ol Kepre sentative Colbert. The Colberts are friends of the Dunbar Car penters, and Nancy is as avid a Democrat as I am a Republican. Several of the wives and secre taries have gone together and given luncheons at Lipman's tea room. However, it isn't the gen eral practice because we often have to be back at our desks at 2 p.m. Interesting guests who have had the privilege of the House this week were four exchange students. They were Lisa Geor giades from Vienna, Austria, who is attending the University of Oregon; Andre Pasternac cf France, attending high school in Hood River; Miss Reidun Ever sen of Norway and Gus Plate, from the Netherlands, both at tending South Salem High school. We had the pleasure of spending an evening with Andre Pasternac. Tuesday afternoon Representa tive McLeilen of Newport asked seven of the wives and secre taries, to join him on his radio program. We were asked to give our views of the Legislature and the part women are taking in it. Mrs. Geary stated she would like to see more women serving as Representatives. I concurred with Mrs. Geary. However, I would like both parties represented by women. Also for the broadcast I got the information from the Secretary of State's office that there are 175 women on the pay roll who are connected with this legislative session. They are serving as secretaries, door keeps and pages. This includes the 22 wives who are serving as husband's secretaries. However, It does not include the four wom en Representatives on the floor of the House. I also stated that I'd like to have more people visit the Legis lature while it is in session and for more than a day or so at a time. I feel that after watching their Representatives in action and seeing the quality and char acter of the work performed by them, they would be better qual ified to choose those that they want to represent them. They would also learn that a large pro portion of the work is being make the headlines. After the broadcast, one of the men who had listened in on it said to me "Mrs. Littrell, you are taking this very seriously, aren't you?" and I do. Al and I both feel it's a serious matter. Sometimes even I think we are a bit too much so. Al said to me last night, "Couldn't you include Buz Sawyer in my re quired reading? If he were cir cled in red I'd not have a guilty feeling when I took the time to read him." So now Buz Sawyer will be considered compulsory reading. "Dime" Flynn was here yester day and took part on Al's radio broadcast. I too was a reluctant participant due to the fact I wasn't prepared and I'd just given my all on Mr. McClellen's program. Representative (Dr.) and Mrs. Dammisch gave a dinner par J last evening for a few freshman legislators and wives. During the session the Dammisches live with Mrs. William Burghardt who is a long-time acquaintance of the Earl Days and has visited in Medford many times. Her home is one of Salem's lovely old houses and is filled with beautiful antiques. Bob Root stopped in for a chat yesterday afternoon. During the morning session Representative Ed. Mann was given the large red tooth brush which gives him the distinction of being the second member of the M.M.F.M. - SOC Honors Mary Ford Ashland Miss Mary Lee Ford, Southern Oregon college senior in teacher education from North Bend, has been selected as the "outstanding girl of fall term" by the Associated Women Students. Miss Ford was selected on the basis of "outstanding achieve ment in scholarship and partici pation in extra-curricular activi ties" according to Miss Shirley Chaney, AWS president. Her current activities include, among others, being editor of the student yearbook, president of the Future Teachers of Ore gon chapter at SOC, columnist on the student newspaper, mem ber of the student-faculty rela tions committee, member of the band and choir, member of Sig ma Tau, and women's speech honorary. Miss Ford was graduated from North Bend high school in 1951. While in high school she was secretary-treasurer of the junior class, chairman of the junior prom, and president of the Na I tional Honor society chapter cone by men who seldom If ever among many other activities. each one a precious portrait IPcDttipaPTminpn "What time did the people start coming?" asked one of the women waiting to get into the dining room for the annual Grif fin Creek smorgasbord last Saturday. "Yesterday:" came the re ply from the weary Griffin Creeker who had been marshaling the hordes of hungry guests all evening. Since about 800 were served, he had good reason to believe that he'd been at it for at least 12 hours. Members of the Mothers' club were jubilant over the size of the crowd, and pleas ed that they had not calculated wrong on the food, but already worried about how to manage another year. It was decided during the evening that next year sn additional room would be opened for serving, or some other change made in order that guests need not wait so long. Duplicate bridge club scorers, pencil in hand, have about de cided that they might as well put John Solheim down as a win ner before they even start their figuring. Mr. Solheim, veteran living at the Camp White domiciliary and member of the Camp White Duplicate Bridge club, won first place three different times week before last, and repeated at one club meeting last week Mr. Solheim's partners for the winning streak were Mrs. H, J. Boyd when he played at Medford Duplicate Bridge club, Mrs. Fred Rehling when he played at the Riverside Duplicate club meeting, and William Isaacs for the Camp White Bridge club session. Last week Mr. Solheim and Roy Pruitt took first again at Riverside club's weekly session. Carol Thomas answered the ringing of the door bell one day last week and was confronted by her friend, Mrs. Freda Kennedy, who struck a pose and recited "March may be early, cool and fun, but take a tip from me and stay out of the sun." Mrs. Ken nedy, with cheeks and brow a gorgeous red, was displaying the first sunburn of the season. Mrs. K. had mowed the lawn and then feeling tired and liking the nice, warm sun, had taken a nap in the open. If you're a woman looking for something entirely new in spring clothes, try an evening gown of candy pink burlap set off by a white mink jacket. No fooling such a gown was part of a fashion show held recently in Pakistan House in New York City Pakistan produces 75 per cent of the world's jute supply, from which burlap is woven, and the show was given to illustrate what interesting and durable clothes can be made from burlap. Elizabeth Toomey of United Press, attended the show and interviewed Ralph F. McLeod, executive of a fabric company which made all the burlap used in the fashions. He wore, by the way, a sports jacket of natural-colored burlap and gray slacks. Mr. McLeod pointed out that colored burlap, softened and de-odorized, is ideal for apparel. Miss Toomey warns that a girl who stitches herself up a frock from unprocessed burlap will be socially insecure in a rainstorm for wet burlaps smells ex actly like wet burlap. Mrs. Elizabeth Cowan designed the clothes which included a white cocktail dress trimmed with gold embroidery, pearls and blue beads, a chartreuse burlap sun suit, a wine-colored burlap tailored suit, a gold burlap raincoat with matching hat and the dazzling pink formal gown. The March issue of Parents magazine has an article by Ruth and Edward Brecher which says that less than 50 per cent of the children with defects discovered in school are taken to a phy sician for treatment. What's more, it was discovered that the examination notices are neglected by parents with adequate in comes and good education as well as those of less means and schooling. The authors also said that the most universally neglected health defect is tooth decay. It is believed that parents tend to neglect the defects which are not acute, but doctors say that these same defects often interfere with the growth development and education of children. Friends and relatives of Jane Durno were amused to find out that the back of her head and one elbow appeared in the movie, "Six Bridges to Cross," which played last week at the Holly theater here. The movie, based on the still unsolved Brinks' robbery case, was filmed in Boston last August. Some of the scenes were taken at Massachusetts General hospital, where Miss Durno is a student nurse, and she was asked to play this part in the picture. She worked for a few days, at $20 a day, and although much film was shot at the hospital, most of it ended up on the cutting room floor. Miss Durno, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. E. R. Durno, will grad uate in June and soon after that will leave for a tour of Europe, accompanied by her younger sister, Miss Kaye Durno. , The French are really "painting the town" this year. A dis patch from Paris says that, as the result of a Gallic "do-it-yourself" campaign, free paint is supplied to citizens on the condition that the town or village be entirely redecorated by the inhabitants. So far, Le Vlviers in Savoie and Beaumesuil in the Alps have profited by the town-painting sprees. "Do we have to watch this," complained a wife as the usual western movie unrolled on the TV set. "It's worse than usual." Whereupon the husband replied with considerable spirit "At least the cowboys don't stop in the middle of the chase while someone sells automobiles!" O.S.

New Members Introduced at Club Meeting Camp White Gardening as a beneficial and fascinating hobby was explained to a group of domiciliary members here Wednesday night who formed the Camp White unit of the Ore gon Federation of Garden clubs. Mrs. A. O. Floyd, Siskiyou district director, told of the ad vantages that will be made avail able to the men who will be as signed individual gardens to cultivate. Opportunity for show ing the results of their effort will be provided by the federa tion, in the district. Offered for planting will be shrubs, iris, carnations, daisies and chrysanthemums, she said. Speakers will be able to attend subsequent meetings to discuss the progress being made. "Interest in working the soil, and in growing things can be made fascinating." she said. "You will have an opportunity to develop something new by cross pollemzation, and you will find many other interesting tnmgs about plants as you pro gress." Mrs. Floyd stated that one thing she has learned here in Southern Oregon is the fact that annuals, such as snapdragons becomes perennials by rjrunine since the cold is not as severe as in the east. Special Services Chief Frank Glonnmg mtroduc ed the speaker. More than half of the states in the U.S. rank travel among their three largest and most lu crative industries. C A LEND!)
