J. Keeney, Colver road, by Jackson County Republican Women. Mrs. Wayne Stine was chairman and pouring were Mrs. Myron Root and Mrs. Frank Bash. An informal program was given by Mrs. E. A. Littrell and Mrs. Philip Lowry who served as secretaries for tlteir husbands during the session of the legis lature which closed recently. Mr. Littrell was a member of the House of Representatives, and Mr. Lowry is a State Senator. Taking turns speaking the two women described the manner in which bills are introduced, processed and either passed or fail, of the work of tfie commit tees, committee hearings and other legislative procedures. Mrs. Littrell commented on the fact that Jackson county resi dents seemed to write more let ters to their representatives than did other constituents, and told of the heavy work load of some of the committees. Twenty-five per cent of all the bills intro duced in the House went through the various committees on which Mr. Littrell served, she said. Mrs. Lowry said there is much talk of the necessity of having an annual assembly, and that an interim committeewill study the problem. She said that in spite of the length of the 1955 session, there was not enough time for the legislators to do all the work which "piled up" since" the last session. She expressed her "great dis appointment" that the sales tax bill did not "at least get to the people." She charged that Demo crats in the Senate "played poli tics" to a much greater extent than did Republicans. Mrs. Lowry further said that secre taries some times have a better perspective of the entire jrocess than do the legislators them selves. Both Mrs. Littrell and Mrs Lowry spoke of the lobbyists, pointing out that many of them perform valuable services for the legislators and that the session "could not get along without the Third House," as the lobbyists are called. The two women were intro duced by Mrs. Lester Adams. A committee assisted Mrs. Stine and Mrs. Keeney. The Keeney home was decorated with spring flowers, and an arrange ment of. blue iris centered The tea table. ncnetty Party Given McLeod Mrs. Glen Anderton invited a small group of guests to her home the afternoon of May 12 to honor Mrs. Carl Rich ardson on her birthday anni versary.
