I Legislators and Wives Now 'Spinning Like Tops' By FRANCES ilTTRELL This week we have spun like tops. On. Monday morning we found the largest stack of bills yet on our desk (legislative ones, that is) and every one had an amendment One had 20 amend ments, which took me all the morning session to finish. Mon day afternoon the Oregon Coun cil of Republican Women and the Republican Women's club gave a tea at the Salem Art Center for Mrs. Patterson, Mrs. Earl T. Newbry and Mrs. Sigfrid ' B. Unander. Mrs. Unander is a dear and except for her height is a replica of Susan Holmes (Mrs. David Holmes). Tuesday afternoon the wives of our seven justices joined forces and gave a tea honoring the wives of the Legislators. The tea was held at the home of Jus tice and Mrs. George Rossman. In the receiving line with the justices' wives were Mrs. Paul Patterson, Mrs. Elmo Smith and Mrs. Ed Geary. After going through the receiving line we all felt very pleased and proud of our top officials for their choice of wives. They are not only in telligent and charming but are all good to look at too. Tuesday evening the Portland Chamber of Commerce gave a reception for the Legislators and their wives where we made new ac quaintances and renewed some old ones. Wednesday Margo Hammer bacher Martin, formerly of Med f ord and Grants Pass, came down for the morning session and stayed for lunch with the secre taries. Vivian (Mrs. Lester) Adams also joined us for lunch eon, after which we sat in on the hearing regarding the misuse of welfare funds in Linn county. Thursday the House looked like a bit of Erin. Every desk had a bit of green and each and every member and secretary sported a green tie or a green flower; some wore both. At noon the Legisla tive wives were asked to a dessert luncheon at the Senator hotel. During lunch they gave a parade of hats, for which Mrs. James T. Brand (wife of Justice Brand) was the commentator. She is noted for her clever repar tee and one remark she made yesterday in regard to a red and green hat was "watch your reds and greens or you might look like a radish." Since Monday of this week we have had afternoon sessions, ow ing to the many third readings each day, and most days we have a few carry-overs from the day before. It really keeps the wives, who are acting as secretaries, on the jump to keep up with the work and the social activities too. Al has acquired another sub-committee to serve on. They are to help decide if river pilots should have a raise and if so how much. Spending much time in Salem Job's Daughters Elect Delegates To Grand Session Central Point Delegates elect ed to grand session of Job's Daughters at the last meeting of Central Point bethel were Maria Abbott and Gwen Moore.

' these days working on and for meat inspection bill are Tracy Crum and Orrin Brown from Medford and Al feels that if they can (and they are trying) come up with a means of financing without an appropriation from the general fund, with the pro ducers and the packers working together with the Legislature, that they have a good chance of getting it through the Legislature this time. We were lucky and got tickets for one of the N.C.A.A. basket ball games in Corvallis last week. We had front row seats and at one time I had San Francisco University's elongated Bill Rus sell in my lap. Had a black and blue ankle the next day as the result. Saw quite a contingent from Medford there too, which made it even more fun. Frank VanDyke has spent the last two days here in Salem. Gardeners Talk On Care of Lawn At Club Session Butte Falls Butte Falls Fed erated Garden club heard a pro gram on lawns at the last meet ing. Three members spoke. Mrs. Elga Abbott reminded the group that reseeding of thin areas or bare patches is best while frosts still occur, in the early morning before the sun elimin ates the "honey-combed" effect, or directly after the lawn has been aerified. Late winter and early spring weed control will be aided by use of certain chemi cals, she said, and a balanced fertilizer should be used in the spring. Mrs. Fred Kincaid continued the information on fertilizers by saying that about this time of year many misguided gardeners give their lawns a mulch of barnyard fertilizer which is far from being beneficial. It con tains very little plant food and is very often full of weed seeds and when applied in lumps can smother out the grass, she said. Research in recent years has demonstrated clearly that early application of plant food is ad visable because grass makes its best growth in the early spring. Mrs. Brittian Ash said it is necessary to give special atten tion to tree-shaded areas as it is best to allow the grass to grow longer, clipping it with a mower set to cut at two or even three inches. Apply double the rate of water used on the rest of the lawn by watering to a three-inch depth, twice a week, she instruct ed. It is important too that leaves be raked off in autumn to assist the grass, prune as many tree branches and roots as pos sible and fertilize each tree once a year. Grass seeded in shaded areas in spring will germinate well giving a good covering for a short time, but it will frequent ly die after a few months, and late summer seedings in shade have a better chance to survive, she concluded. Mrs. Ernest Smith entertained the club at her home and Mrs. Clay Conley was co-hostess. Re freshments closed the meeting! Roll call was answered by each naming an early spring flower. A letter and a copy of "Ari zona Highways" from Mrs. Frank Carson, who is visiting in Ari zona, were enjoyed. Team of Researchers Find That Teenagers Like Change in Style New York (U.R) Teenagers take to new styles even quicker than fashion-conscious working girls, a new survey reports. A team of researchers recently checked department stores to see what group of women were first to respond to a change in fashion. They found that teen agers had done more inquiring about the much-discussed A-line Christian Dior started, and also about new look foundation gar ments to give them a high, rounded bustline, than any other age group. "They long to be grown up," the report said. "Being grown up means being able to do what you please. And teenagers found fashion was one of the few ways they could copy adults and feel grownup."
