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

"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.

Mrs. Floyd stated that one
thing she has learned here in
