House Bill Book Bulges n Session's Third Week By FRANCES LITTRELL And so far this, the 1957 ses sin of the legislature, the House of Representatives will be pre sided over by a Democrat, the affable and Irish Pat Dooley. We attended the inaugural bill, had our pictures taken, and our gowns were written up in the Sunday papers. Before the ball, the Lester Adams hosted a dinner party for the Josephine and Jackson coun ty delegations of Republicans and wives. One of the first bills on the floor was one to raise the pay of the State employees (and that in cludes the secretaries) from $10 to $12 a day. It was passed by both Houses and has been signed by the Governor, which prompt ed someone to say Papa loves Mama." I say the papas like to eat, because as every one knows, most of the secretaries are the wives of the legislators, and few if any of them could afford the luxury of serving the people if we didn't serve as their sec retaries. So again we are tread ing the marble halls of the state buildings. It is fun greeting old friends and making new ones, too. There are many new faces in both Houses and also among the state employees. Mrs. Edith Bymen Low is again the chief clerk on the desk and all but two of her assitants of last session are back, too. So again we have a friendly and helpful personnel in the Chouse. Same Desk We drew desk No. 8 again. For neighbors, we have the Faye Bristols from Grants Pass, Al Flegel from Roseburg and again the George Annalas from Hood River. The Bob Duncans are on the other side of the house from us. Bob's family has arrived and the secretaries welcomed Mari- jane into our group. Again I'm reading seven newspapers a day and marking with red pencil the newsworthy items for Al. The House bill book is al ready bulging and today another bill book was left on our desks, in this our third week, we have a total of 383 bills that have been introduced. Of course, many of them will die in com mittee or in the Senate later. The Senate is organized and has gone to work, too, with Senator OverWlse as president. ' Al says he is a good choice. Al got to know him rather well last sessions when Mr. Over hulse served in the House and q was on several committees with Al. people in jacicson county can talk to the Fairweathers about the Overhulse family. Young Chloe and the Overhulse girl were roommates in college. No Chairmanship I see the papers say the GOP members of the Senate got the crumbs of the chairmanship; however, they fared much bet ted than the GOP members of the House, where not one chair manship is held by a Republican. Even the usually cooperative and always friendly press boys have ienored the Dress releases hand ed them by the Republican Rep- i resentatives. They evidently feel they are so very much in the minority in the House, that it is futile to print anything they say or think, unless it is whimsical. Mark Hatfield has shown ex cellent judgement in choosing Qiis office staff. He has surround ed himself with people of ability and tperie'nce. Oh yes. we have music piped into the House from the Speak er's office (some of it is close to rock and roll). It begins im mediately the session is reces sed. Just hope the tempo is pick ed?) up by the elected members i or the Jtouse, so we can get through by spring. ' Tift ocial whirl started early. Consequently, the then unorgan- i (ied Senate missed several nice ' parties. The Lee Bowns took j the William McAllisters and us ; to the annual Sweet Home and Xst Linn County Chamber of Commerce dinner at Sweet Home. The McAllisters have found and purchased a lovely new home. They are both pleased and and are enjoying their new life here in Salem. The Farm Bureau's biennial dinner was held last Wednesday evening. Approximately 30 of us attend ed. They always have wonderful food and good entertainment. Town and Gown gave its bien nial tea for the legislator s wives last week. It is always held at Lausanne hall on the campus of Williamette university. Town and Gown is an organization promoting cooperation and friendliness between the campus and the town women. Undergoes Surgery : The Salem Chamber of Com merce gave its annual dinner Tuesday evening. We missed it as Al was ill, arid on Wednesday afternoon he was taken to the hospital for some minor surgery. He had an infection that had gotten out of hand and the doc tors thought it best he go to the hospital and have general anes thesia and surgery. He is fine now; however, he is spending a few days in the hospital,... - We are hearing rumors that there is more than just thought being given to a tunnel through Oregon Mountain on Highway 99 between Grants Pass and Crescent City, Calif. Al and Senator Randolph Collier of Cal ifornia have given this project much time and thought and both are pleased that it has reached the priority list. As for the sales tax, Al says it is a lost cause in this session of the legislature. The mail has been light; however, Al says for all of you to please write us and give us your views on any and all legislation before this session ends. If he knows your thinking, it will help him to serve you better.

Woman Aids Thousands Of Refugees By DONALD GRAFF United Press Correspondent Cresskill, N.J. -4U.R) Minerva Mores, who has spent most of "60 years plus" helping others, has found a new and vital field of action in the past decade. As a social worker, she has helped start 5,000 Iron Curtain refugees on new lives in freedom. For Miss Mores, director of emergency resettlement for the Catholic Relief Services of the National Catholic Welfare Coun cil, finding a new job for a Hungarain bookseller in Cali fornia or setting up a Lithuanian lumber worker in a small Ore gon town is all part of the day's job. She is charged with locating homes and jobs for refugees with : no sponsors and in cooperation with diocesan groups throughout the country has had a hand in placing some 5,000 of the 30,000 refugees resettled by the CHS since passage of the 1953 im- , migration law. i Long Social Service Most of Miss Mores' recent charges have been the Hungari ans, fleeing by tens of thousands. But they also have included Yugoslavs, Czechs, Germans, Lithuanians and Austrians. "Most of them want to come to the States. Australia is a close second," Miss Mores said. "Few want to go back and those only because of separation from loved ones." A native of this North Jersey community, Miss Mores has been active in social work since leav ing college, first with New York Catholic Charities, then 12 years as a case worker in Ossining, N.Y., and later with New Jersey's Bergen County Child Welfare Bureau. For eight years prior to April,' 1956, when she took her present position. Miss Mores was deputy director of the National Catholic Welfare Council Austrian divi sion. "April in Austria was a time of hope the refugee camps scar ring the countryside since the war were about to be demolish ed, the long road to recvery seemed to be growing easier," she recalled. "Now the camps are filled again and Austria's economy is straining to integrate the thous ands fleeing Hungary." The immigration law under which Miss Mores found new lives for exiled thousands ex pired with the end of 1956. But for her, this is the close of a chapter, not the end of the book. "Now that the present immi gration law is . . . ended it's Dedicated to MORE Beautiful Women February 1 0th Well groomed women m3 v everywhere depend on M WW Regular Professional M 1" fjeJ. .
