Homemaking Best Role Says
Wife of Evangelist Graham
By O'NEIL HENDRICK
IjpiiMd Press Correspondent
Montreat, N. C (U.R) To
day's career women who prefer
the office to home don't know
what they're missing, says the
pretty wife of famous evangelist
Billy Graham.
1 "Some women feel frustrated
if they can't have a career, but
not me," she said. "Frankly, I
feel sorry for those who must go
out and work, because being a
mother is the most wonderful
life in the world."
The attractive mother of three
girls and a boy admits she once
entertained ambitions for a
career, but she quickly aban
doned them when her "chance
of a lifetime" came along.
That was back at Wheaton
College, Illinois, where she was
preparing for missionary work
in China, an ambition she de
veloped during her childhood in
the Orient where her father
served as a medical missionary.
Billy Changed Her Mind
At Wheaton, she met a tall,
handsome divinity student
named Billy Graham. Right
then, her interest in a career
became something less than aU
consuming. "It didn't take much talking
for Billy to persuade me to give
up my plans to return to China,"
she said in an interview before
she left for Europe to join her
husband on a tour.
They were married in 1943
after a two-year courtship. The
bride followed her husband in
his early career when he
preached throughout the nation
in an evangelistic crusade that
was to bring him fame.
But, a grjwing family forced
her to remain at home when
Billy traveled with his growing
organization. Today, only oc
casionally does she leave the
modest Graham home in the
scenic mountains of western
North Ca'rolina near Asheville
to join her husband at some far-

Consumer Must Look Gut for Herself
Economist Tells Homemakers Thursday
The consumer must look out for herself and remember that
"you don't get something for nothing," according to Dr. G.
Burton Wood, who was principal speaker for the annual Home
makers festival last Thursday in Central Point. Dr. Wood, an
agricultural economist for Oregon State college, reviewed eco
nomic prospects for the coming year. ' , '
The speaker urged his listen
ers to plan their buying wisely
and to refrain from buying when
cost seems excessive. "Prices are
high because the consumer
'votes' that way," Dr. Wood said.
He added that families should
use their credit wisely, not over
extend their credit position and
added "this is not the best time
to plunge."
American consumers are pay
ing a large amount for "services"
the speaker said, explaining that
this includes such things as pre
paration and packaging of food
and the thousand and one other
tasks which individuals former-
ly performed for themselves and
flung spot.
The separations, of course,
work hardships on them both,
but she said she became recon
ciled to them when she married
the blond evangelist.
Wouldn't Change Anything J
"Any marriage must be basd
on common interests. Both Bill
and I are wholeheartedly to
gether in his work," she said.
"Certainly I would : like to
have him home with us, but no
sacrifice is too great if it helps
in his work."
She said these sacrifices pay
off manyf old in the happiness
of others.
"It's wonderful to see people's
lives transformed by Christ. If
you could see . the change in
their lives take place in that
miraculous moment."
Does she sometimes regret her
decision to become a housewife
instead of a missionary?
Emphatically not.
"I consider being a wife and
mother the greatest privilege
accorded woman on this earth,"
she said.

that at Community it is now

The public has come to rely

which are now performed for
them.
The speaker said generally it
is believed that the coming year
will be a good tjne economically,
but that farmers might receive
fewer dollars than last year. He
stressed that spending is import
ant to business, and that if every
one oAs down on his spending
in proportion to his income, it
has an adverse affect on busi
ness. (
He analyzed the changes in
spending habits of the nation,
noting that enormous sums are
spent for alcohol, tobacco and
such luxuries. He predicted that
the percentage spent for housing
will increase.
Dr. Wood said that farmers
are receiving less of the consum
er's food dollar and gave figures
on the percentage spent for the
various farm food dollars.
The economist said that many
new lines are being introduced
for the "price market" and re
minded his listeners that gener
ally speaking,.quality goes down
as price goes down. He said that
goods and services will be abund
ant this year, that some "good
buys" will be available but
urged his audience not "to be
fooled at the bargain table.", He
added that prices are always
marked down for a reason, and
that before buying a bargain, the
horhemaker should find out why.
"Stay with your established mer
chant," he urged.
Dr. Wood . closed by saying
"America is not going to pot"
and that homemakers should pay
no 'attention to "prophets of
.doom."

Legislature
Ends Session
By FRANCES LITTRELL
(Editor's Note: This ii the last in a
series of articles written by Mrs.
LittreU durinj the 48th legislative
session. ' The report was made by
wire front Seaside where the I.it
trells are spending a few days be
fore returning to the valley.)
Oregon's 48th legislative ses
sion is now behind us. Some
members attained their goals,
most of them didn't. Dr. Dam
masch was given his chair and is
assured he will get the mental
hospital for which he has fought
for 20 years. If this legislature
has its way, the hospital will
hear his name.
Southern Oregon got its long
awaited meat inspection. Dr. El
mo Stevenson got his physical
education building; the state of
Oregon will have better sanita
tion laws; some state officials in
cluding the judges will get much
needed raises in salaries; labor
got increases in both accident
benefits and compensation un
employment which took six con
ference committees and two
days time to terminate the dead
lock between the senate and
the house.
Al was a member of three con
ferences including the last ac
cepted one. :'
Everyone will pay more in
come taxes.
So the Lowrys and the Lit-
tr ells have been to the legisla
ture and are so glad to be on
their way back to the banana
belt via the beach for a few
days of just rest.
