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.

Legislators
After the cruise we were ask
ed to the Washington hotel for
a social hour and dinner but
due to the lateness of the hour,
few were interested in being
social, they just wanted food.
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."

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. The good sport, even when
he knows someone else is to

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.

mother, who is in her seventies,
has some jewelry she has always
said she would leave to my

and I think they should have it
now while they can enjoy it. How
can I tactfully sugest this?"
(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.
