To date Governor Patterson has signed 255 bills, which makes them statutes of the State of Ore gon; not all of them are sanc tioned by the responsible legis lators. However, until another legislative sessions sees fit to change them they are laws. Monday and Tuesday of this week we were in session until after 5 p.m. One day we had 46 bills on the calendar which, of course, meant there were carry overs for the next day. Speaker Geary has announced that there will be an all-day ses sion on Saturday in order to clean the week's calendar. Tuesday we attended the com mittee hearing on Senate Bill 434 in regard to sanitation dis tricts. While there we visited with the Medford delegation in Salem for the hearing. They were Mrs. Chester Guches, Dr. A. E. Merkel, Dell Harvey and John Pletsch. Sunday of last week I reached the half century mark and so a group of the secretaries gave a surprise party for me, and I've never been so surprised in my life. Thursday afternoon secretaries Monnette, Isaak, Annala and Littrell gave a tea for all the wives and secretaries in both Houses. We called it House in vitation No. 999. Hester (Mrs. Lee) Bishop came with the leg islators' wives from Eugene. Al's sister, Ethel, is spending this week with us. Last eve she remarked "If I'd been going at this pace for 96 days I'd not only be exhausted, I'd have brain fag too." And there's times I think we have." The ways and means bills are going through the House this week, so perhaps we soon will be on our way home.

A letter from the Alfred Carpenters last week told of a meeting with Eugene (Benny) Bennett, Medford artist, in Italy. The Carpenters, with their son, Harlow, and his wife, Gay, are touring Europe and are spending some time in Perugia. . Mr. Carpenter wrote that the, artist had dined with the four Carpenters, seemed well and in good spirits and had added to his artistic appearance by growing a beard. Eugene B., on leave from his teaching work in a Chicago high school and at the Art Institute of Chicago, went to Florence several months ago. Without knowledge of the language and with no friends in the city, the young artist was quite lonely for a time, the Carpenters report. However, he is now situated at a pensione, the Bartolini, on the Arno, and has met other artists and art students. He is teaching English in return for lessons in Italian. "With one of the men from the Pensione he went to Sicily, to the man's family as a guest for the Christmas holidays," Mr. Carpenter wrote. "The family had a house of three rooms, so Benny was 'bedded out in another place. We asked him if he ate all the food which was served to him and his reply was yes, except for one dish of little fishes.' "Benny is working very hard as he is to have a 'one man' show at Mandel Brothers Department store in Chicago in No vember and it takes, if I remember correctly, about 150 paint ings to properly fill the three rooms devoted to the show. He has exhibited there before and sold a number of pictures, but this will be his first one man show. Harlow and Gay visited his studio room where he lives and came back lull of praise for his paintings and new style methods. He has given up water colors and now paints entirely in oil. He's another Medford high school boy who has made good." Mr. Carpenter suggested tnat friends of the artist write to him in care of the American express company in riorence. Mr. C. aaaea that the four Carpenters are having an enjoyaole trip. Dr. Jonas Salk, who perfected the polio vaccine so much in the news last weeK, has oeen quoted as saying that the nation snoaid now turn its closest attention to the problem of mental health. Some wondered at this, asking wny ne had not named cancer, or heart aiseases. uranting tnat tne light against these two types of disease must not be relaxed lor a moment, many will agree with Dr. balk that tne alarming increase of mental aisease calls for an all-out educational campaign. These figures, provided by the National Association for Mental, Inc., show why: Today there are nearly three-fourths of a million people under the care of mental hospitals. This is more than half oi the number of patients in all hospitals for all diseases in the entire country. 1 here are more peopie hospitalized for mental illness than for polio, cancer, heart disease, tuberculosis and all other diseases com Dined. More than 250,000 new patients one quarter of a million are admitted to mental hospitals each year. In 1934 the chance of being hospitalized for a severe mental illness was computed as 1 in 20; today it is nearly 1 in 10. , During the past year some 214 million men, women and chil dren were treated for some form of mental disorder. It is estimated that as many as 20 to 25 per cent of all em ployees in any corporation or industrial unit are suffering from mental disorders ranging from psychoses to "industrial maladjust ment" showing up in absenteeism, accidents, dissatisfaction, al coholism, turnover and poor job performance. More than one-fourth of all hospital beds are occupied by patients with schizophrenia. These figures, which may startle some readers, show why such men as Dr. Salk are concerned about mental illness in the United States. Among the various groups and committees in this county concerned with the fight against the spread of mental illness are those who support the Southern Oregon Child Guidance clinic, which is currently engaged in a membership drive. It is an established fact that emotional disturbances in childhood, if not found and corrected, may lead to mental maladjustment in adult life and through the clinic, many children are being aided. Women at the Easter Monday luncheon of St. Anne's Altar society last week could have given an impromptu style show and it would have been an impressive one. Mrs. John L. Laden, chairman of the party, looked very smart in a navy blue silk coat with large pink straw hat. Friends urged her to remove her wrap during the party, for she wore a dress made from im ported Italian cotton material that was unusually 'pretty. Mrs. Lawrence Neer could have walked down the ramp at any style show wearing her lavender ensemble with an exquisite pair of lavender glass earrings. Mrs. David Holmes drew admir ing glances for her yellow and green ensemble, and Mrs. Gordon Warner wore a chic suit o imported material in a color which we cannot describe but which has a thread of gold woven into it. By, way of a complicated series of telephone calls last week, Carolyn Shangle and Bernie Mueller learned that one of the ushers couldn't be here for the wedding. The usher, who knew the "bridegroom but had forgotten the bride's name, called his mother in Salem who called a friend, Mrs. R. W. Gray, in Med ford, who called the society editor at The Tribune to find out who was being married. One final call to the Shangle home re sulted in a last minute rush to find a substitute usher. No one seemed to mind the inevitable last-minute mishaps or the fact that the sky opened up and poured down rain as the guests were assembling at the church. The bride's father quipped "we over-trained the wedding should have been held this morn ing while the sun was shining," just before he started down the ailse with daughter Carolyn, who looked very pretty in her un usual wedding gown which she called her "dream dress." O.S. College to Hold Spring Song Fest On Campus Lawn Ashland -Some dozen or more student organizations at South ern Oregon college will compete in the Inter-collegiate , Spring Sing to be held on the campus Friday, April 22, at 8 p. m. Townspeople from throughout the Rogue River valley are in vited to attend the event which is to be held on the lawn in front of the SOC library.

Here's an idea for leftover doughnuts: split them, toast them in the broiler of your gas range directly under the flame, ?nd while still hot, spread them with butter and dip in sugar and cinnamon.
