:3HT MTDrORD (OREGON) Too Many "Garbage Bills" Take Time of By FRANCES LITTRELL Thanks to Representative John- on (who is also mayor of Eu gene) and Senator Husband of Eugene, we got seats for Satur day evening to see Medford end Eugene play the final game of the Class A high school state basketball finals. There- were ap proximately 11,000 people in at tendance and we decided that at last 1,000 of them were from Medford. When we walked into the Eugene Hotel we thought we were home, for our friends were ell about us. Sunday morning Representa tive and Mrs. Tom asked a small group of legislators and wives aboard their recently acquired sea-going cabin cruiser for breakfast, after which we went aboard the Port of Portland to Join the other members of the Legislature. The Propeller Club had issued invitations to us for a cruise of Portland harbor. The Port of Portland is a large stern wheeler type tug built in 1947. She is used to escort the large sea going ships in and out of the harbor. We had just gotten into mid-stream when she broke a cable, which required about an hour to repair. We boarded her at Stark Street and went as far as St. Johns bridge. It was a nice sunny day for cruising. There were many chil dren aboard, including the Low ry boys, John and Bob. We made several complete tours with them, those things are so much more exciting when done with youngsters and seen through their eyes. We saw many huge sea-going cargo ships from all over the world, also two navy ships and learned many inter esting facts about the Portland harbor, one that few of us knew. The Port of Portland handles more dry freight than any port on the Pacific coast, chiefly lumber and grain. MARY MURPHY editor, I.

Governor and Mrs. Patterson, Senator and Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Geary joined us for dinner. The Governor told us he had not joined us on the cruise because he had been asked to appear on TV in the afternoon. For land lubbers we really had a sea going day. Tuesday Mrs. Patterson had her first tea ("at homes" she calls them). When we were there, receiving with Mrs. Patterson were Mrs. Geary and Miss Bar nette (who is Governor Patter son's secretary). Mrs. Charles Sprague and Mrs. Rex Puttman were rjourine. assisting with the serving were Miss Virginia Pat terson, Miss Alice Geary, Miss Arliss Barnes, all up from Stan ford for Spring vacation. Also assisting here and there were Mrs. Dean Walker, just back from the east, and Mrs. Gene Marsh whose husband was Pres ident of the Senate last year. Thursday the secretaries are invited to luncheon in the inner sanctum the' Representative's lounge and lunch room where we are noi permitted during the day. These nice spring days make us begin to think about our yards at home and needless to say, want to be there. It is the general opinion that we would be about ready to close this ses sion of the Legislature if it weren't for the many bills that have been presented here that have little or no merit to them and have been presented by peo ple who just want to keen their names before the public. Its an easy way, however an expensive one for the State of Oregon, as each and every bill has to be studied carefully by the commit tee to which it has been as signed, a time consuming proc ess. That is what is going on here now. The Legislators are not only working days, they are spending many evenings too try ing to select the good from the bad. At this point 955 bills have been introduced and it is said there are more of the so-called "garbage bills" than the really worth while ones. The disheart ening thing is that too often there is so much pressure brought to bear that the bills of little merit are getting to the floor. Al came home at 6 p.m. last evening after being in com mittee meeting since 11 in the morning and said he was so mentally tired he could no long er think coherently. This morn ing he said to me, "Oh, to be home just tending to my roses." Nutritionist Says Oven-Cooking Good For Most Vegetables East Lansing, Mich (U.R) Next time the main course of the meal is to be oven-cooked. try preparing the vegetable aisnes in tne oven at the same time. Michigan State college nutri tionists say the results are just as good as boiling and the oven method saves fuel.

T0TS-T0-TEENS 105 EAST MAIN As We Live Ged Sportsmanship It Best Learned In Youth No matter where he goes or what he does, a "good sport" can be sure that he will fit in. be liked, and have friends. People admire such a person and ac cept him. The good sport accepts the bad and the good with equal grace. He does not allow people to see Hurlock that he is disappointed or an noyed, because he keeps his feel ings under control. He does not try to blame others for his short comings, and he makes the best of things instead of complaining about them. The best time to learn to be a good sport is when one is young, before habits of poor sportsman ship have developed. And the best place to learn is in games and sports. However, just because child hood is the best time to learn to be a good sport, this does not mean that one cannot learn in adulthood. The adult who honest ly admits that he is a poor sport can correct this if he is willing to mend his ways. Philosophical Attitude The most important thing of all is to learn to keep from show ing disappointment when things are not just as one would like them to be. This is best done by developing a philosophical atti tude and saying to one's self, "After all, this does not mean the world is coming to an end." The second thing is to accept the blame yourself or let others draw their own conclusions about who is to blame. Thrusting blame on others, even when it right fully belongs there, invariably is interpreted as poor sportsman ship.

LETTERS FROM READERS Winter Vacation: "I find that, by the time March comes, I am tired and usually pick up a bad cold. Do you think taking a va cation during the winter would be better than during the sum mer?" (A) Many people are taking mid-winter vacations these days because they find it good for their health as well as for their morale. Whether this would be possible for you would depend primarily upon the nature of your work. Some business or ganizations are too busy during the winter to permit their em ployees to go away. Then, too, there is the matter of the chil- I dren's schooling. Parents with school-age children cannot al ways arrange to leave the chil dren with someone else, nor do they want the children to miss school. You can avoid some of your fatigue and colds by resting over the week-ends, exercising reasonable caution, and taking vitamin pills regularly. Helping Mother: "I am married and have a home of my own. However, every time my mother entertains, she wants me to help her prepare, be present when the guests are there, and then clean up afterwards. Is this fair of her?" (A) If helping your mother with her entertaining interferes with your home duties and your husband's life, it is not fair of your mother to call on you for help. Tell her that you now have your own work to do and that you will be glad to help as much as you can, provided the time of her entertaining does not come when it is difficult for you to be away from your own home.

(A) Why not suggest that she let your daughters wear the jewelry for special occasions? In time she may say they might es well keep it in their own posses sion. On the other hand, she may prefer to consider it as a "loan" until she dies. Many old people hate to part with anything, so don't press this matter. (Copyright 1955, General Features Corp.)
