niiniu fl was a law giv
er from Arizona. She was a
school teacher when she was
only 15 back in Missouri. She
got herself a flock of college de
grees. But more to the point,
Mrs. Murdock is a student of
what is forever under her pret
ty nose, the nation's capital.
She spent a lot of time track
ing down the big names that
have made America great, the
likeness of folks who are in
granite and bronze in National
Statuary hall. And that is just
what she calls her new illustrat
ed book, "National Statuary
Hall."
Served Three Slates
Any school kid who ever has
visited Washington can tell you
that every state is represented
some place around the Capitol
in metal or mixed up cement.
Now there are 86 of these sta
tues, with an inscription under
each, tracing the line" of our his
tory from 1607 up to today.
I was ashamed to admit that on
looking over the statues I didn't
recognize a huge likeness of a
man who called himself a na
tive of Illinois, or often has
been described as such. Gen.
James Shields actually was born
in Ireland in 1810. He "immi
grated," it says on- the plaque,
to Kaskaskia, 111., in, 1823. He
was a lawyer and not only that,
but a Supreme court judge, too.
And also he was unique in that
he was a senator from three
states. ' '
That fact was new to me.
First, the general became a
member of the Senate from Illi
nois. That was in 1849. Right
after he served his term he
moved to Minnesota.
In 1858, he decided to run for
the Senate in the Gopher state
and durned if he didn't come up
on top.
Then the general moved to
California, but, according to the
records wasn't active in politics.
Statues of Famous Men
California sunshine didn't do
the general any good, so he de
cided to pack his duffle and
move to Carrollton, Mo., where
he entered politics again and
wound up as a member of the
Missouri General Assembly.
He tried outfor the U.S. Sen
ate and made it in 1879.
Scattered in six places around
the Capitol area are statues of
the very great in our history.
National Statuary hall, actual
ly, epitomizes the story of
America. There you find Lin

As We Live

Retired Husband Mopes
Because of Idlnetc
Most people think only in
terms of the financial problems
that come with retirement. There
are other changes which must be
faced.
(Q) "My husband retired from
business last October. At first.
things were all
right. He gets
a good enough
pension thai,
with what we
have saved, we
can 'live much
as we did be
fore if we are
careful. How
ever, now that
Dr. Hurlock he has cleaned
out his papers, done some odd
jobs around the house that he
has been putting off for years,
and gone through all his books
and other possessions, he is at a
loss to know what to do with his
lime. He likes to read, but one
cannot read all day. Then, too, he
misses being with men and hav
ing nothing special to do. He just
wanders around the house and
seems to be getting grumpy and
moody. I have rrfy housework
and community interests, but it
makes me feel guilty to go out
and leave him alone. I don't want
to give up my own interests but
that seems to be what will hap
pen unless I can help my husband
to find something to do. What
would you suggest?"
(A) Isn"t there something he
could do in line with the work
he has done all his life, even if
only on a part-time basis, to fill
in for busy seasons or when an
other worker is ill?
Many retired men who are in
good enough health get some
kind of work, often part-time,
after they retire. That would
give your husband something
definite to do and should make
him feel much happier. '
Community organizations can
always use men who have the
time to give to their work. Talk
to your pastor about this and see
what he has to suggest.
Get in touch with the local
Red Cross and the hospital. In
both those organizations your
husband's services would be very
welcome. This would bring him
in contact with people and give
him outside intersts just as you
have.

interview with United Press he tells
what he thinks of his job and com

Sams Valley Grange
Upper Rogue Grange members
were guests of the Sams Valley
Grange at the last meeting held
May 24. The meeting was opened
with Master Ralph James pre
siding.
Under agriculture, Al Straus
reported that under A.C.P. rul
ings now in effect wheat growers
without allotment were eligible
to receive funds from this source.
Barley is now higher but oats
lower in price. The demand for
wheat is slow. Beef outlook is
somewhat better. Trend seems
to be feeder prices down, fed
cattle up may reflect higher
feed costs. New assessment
values do not seem reasonable
according to today's prices for
farm produce and the lands abil
ity to produce, he said.
A motion was made by Anne
Varley, and passed, to give a
scholarship to a member of the
Ju venile Grange to attend
Grange camp. Also Mrs. Charley
reported that Eagle Point was
alloting a similar scholarship to
a member of our Grange. Mickie
Duggan will represent the Sams
Valley Juvenile Grange at the
State Grange at Klamath.
Eighty-three Grangers were
present at the meeting. The guest
book recorded 31 from Upper
Rogue, 14 visitors from Gold
Hill, 3 from Live Oak, 6 from
Eagle Point, 3 from Central
Point, 2 from Phoenix, 1 from
Roxy Ann, 1 from Upper Apple
gate, and 2 from Shady Cove.
Sams Valley members present
totalled 20.
Lecturer Carl Richardson from
Upper Rogue presented an inter
esting, well balanced program.
Songs by Mrs. Richardson and
son were much enjoyed, a darky
manikin doing a tap dance was.
an entertaining novelty number,
a jig by Mr. Richardson was high
ly complimented, and a fish mar
ket scene by several of the mem
bers pointed out the possibilities
of advertising with only a few
words.
The program was topped with
an inspirational talk by Mrs.
Everett Faber on the work of
the United Nations. Mrs. Faber
pointed out that too many were
not familiar with the fine work
the UN is doing or the interna
tional good will it is promoting.
The cooperative use of medicines
to cure chronic ailments is great
ly adding to the health of many
unfortunates in many nations.
This help is not a handout but
the local governments put up
money for half the expenses. It
is a program designed to help
teach people to help themselves.
In her talk Mrs. Faber empha
sized the fact that more people
should know more about the UN
and not be subject to the nega
tive rumors that are always
spread about worthwhile pro
jects. Talks were given by several
distinguished visitors, among
them were Ma'sters Herb Carlton
of Upper Rogue, Herman Kamp
king of Gold Hill, Roy Cameron
of Live Oak and Reed McKay of
Shady Cove. Also speaking were
Willie McLean, Ramona lecturer,
and Roscoe Roberts, state deputy!
After the talks by these visit
ors the meeting was adjourned
to the banquet hall where re
fresh men.ts of sandwiches
cookies and coffee were served.
On Friday, June 17, the Sams
Valley Grange will be guests of
the Central Point Grange. Sams
Valley will provide the program.
Next meeting at Sams Valley will
be Tuesday, June 21.

still goes prospecting for gold

fountain of youth.
"I could have given that Span

longevity," Poker Bill said. "Eat
plenty of bear meat and venison.
Drink spring water. Don't drink

United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) Secretary
of Labor James P. Mitchell hit
back today at union leaders who
claim his job is practically an
impossible one in a Republican
administration.
It's the union leaders them
selves, not the administration,
who make the job tough, Mitch
ell said.
"Big Jim" Mitchell, who came
to the cabinet 2Vfe years ago
from other tough jobs in labor
relations, gave this view just be
fore taking off for Europe for
an International Labor Organ
ization meeting.
"We're trying to do a job in
the way we sit it in the interests
of the working man," he said
in an interview with United
Press. "We get the avowed op
position of some trade union
leaders when we should be get
ting their support or at least
their neutrality.
"Naturally, this makes it more
difficult for me, both within the
administration and with Congress."
He added that he thought un
ion leaders "could serve their
membership better if they were
more cooperative."
Mitchell said today that "I get
as much support as I could ex
pect within the administration."
"On any matter that I've felt
strongly about I've gotten sup
port."
One of the bigest issues on
which Mitchell has been chal
lenged by union leaders is his
stand against so-called"right-to-work"
laws in 18 states which
ban union-management agree
ments for compulsory union
membership.
When he called for repeal of
such laws, union leaders said he
should get the administration to
ask Congress to repeal them by
amending ,the Taft-Hartley law.
When President Eisenhower said
Mitchell was not speaking for
the administration on this mat
ter, union leaders said Mitchell
had been "repudiated."
Mitchell said today that his
position of urging states to re
peal the laws is "realistic." "For
seven years, unions have been
trying to repeal Taft-Hartley
and they haven't made any progress,"-
he said.
Asked what he thinks is the
biggest problem facing organ
ized labor, Mitchell said the ban
by various states on compulsory
union membership, such as the
union shop, is "one of the big
gest." "Unions should be encouraged
to strengthen and grow," he
said. "These laws tend to dis
courage their growth."
Blames Politics
Mitchell said his personal re
lationships with union leaders
are good. He said he assumes
their public attacks on him and
on the administration's labor pro
posals are "necessary for politi
cal purposes.
"I don't think the Republican
party has the right to expect
labor's support, nor has the Dem
ocratic party," he said. "Labor
should support the best candi
dates on the issues."
As to whether labor has bene
fited under the Republican ad-

ministration, he said, "The!
record is pretty clear." He listed
"the highest wages, the highest
real earnings with the stabiliz
ing of the cost-of-living, tremend
ous improvements in social se
curity, improvements in unem
ployment compensation, work
men's compensation and state
minimum wages, and the admin
istration's general policy of per
mitting free collective bargain
ing."
The administration's policy of
keeping "hands off" wage dis
putes is "beneficial it) the long
run because it permits labor to
use its own economic strength,"
Mitchell said.

Look what Mr. Peterson told those financiers!
Pit w
lfikZJ
Mr. Alfred G. Peterson, a forth
right man, addressed the con
vention of the Savings Associa
tions League of N. Y. State and
boldly discussed the matter of
advertising-of his own free will.
Mr. Peterson, who is president
of the National Savings and Loan
League, and president of the First Federal Savings
and Loan Association of Greenwich, Connecticut,
spoke as follows :
"I feel that advertising is a very profitable
investment. But we should not buy advertising
blindly. We should give careful consideration
both to the-appeals and the media we use."
And listen to this !
"The medium which tops the list is the medium
that reaches the greatest number of people at the
lowest cost. It is my opinion the newspaper is
that medium ..."
But that isn't all ..
because it reaches the local market All of us are
really conducting local businesses.
"We may be bound together into a national in
dustry, but our spheres of influence are entirely
local.
"The newspaper reaches precisely the people
we want to reach."
Ah, Mr. Peterson you are a man who knows
his investment!
Last year the institution headed by Mr. Peter
son invested 5 of its gross income on adver
tising, and more than 60 of that went into
newspapers.
In only ten years this Association multiplied
its total resources eighUfold!
Gosh! If savings and loan people themselves
advertisel think how they must feel about lend
ing money to people wha work for sound com'
panies who advertise soundly in newspapers.
"I place the newspaper at the top of the list All business is local...and so are all newspapers!
