Legislators Now
Work Long Hours;
Four at Hearing
By FRANCES LITTRELL
Salem This is the 96th day
of the legislative session, and
as yet there's no definite time
set for its adjournment.
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.
