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

To freshen rolls, muffins or

place in a paper bag, close tight
ly and put in a hot oven for
about five minutes. Serve im
mediately. . '
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."
