February 12th. Governor Holmes, five of thewas iven bv the Medical So seven Oregon Supreme Court clety auxiliary. It was held at justices, and the other two members of the Board of Con - trol, Mark Hatfield and Sig Unander Governor Hnlmo. is also a member of the Board ofA?lister was one of tne justice's Control met in joint session with the Senate and the House of Representatives to commem orate Abraham Lincoln's birth day. The House of Representa tives being the larger, joint ses sions are always held in the House. We are now having longer morning sessions, partly due to the fact that some freshman members are talkative and are on their feet at the least provo cation. Seems they feel they should test their voices, and also the new speaker system. As yet, no P.M. sessions in the House, This is to give the members more time in their respective committees, because the real work is done in the committees and by the time a bill gets to the floor, there are few if any members who have not made up their mind how they are going to voter so the long talks on the floor are mostly for the benefit of the visitors in the gallery. Hearings Heated There have been some long and heated public hearings, too Perhaps the most controversial and misunderstood bill that has been introduced this session is Senate Bill 64, the "Key Dist rict School Bill. Thursday eve ning the Senate Education com mittee held almost a three-hour hearing with what was reported an all time high in attendance for a public hearing. There was heated, intelligent and laugh able argument for and against the bill. One witness broke the tension by saying, "This wasn't designed for those of us at the lower end of the I-Q scale.' Mr. Gene Vandeneynede whom we affectionately call "Oregon's official greeter" and who con ducts the visitors about the Cap ital, gave us an arm chair tour of the Capitol this week. He now has a colored film of the whole tour, complete with narration, and it's available to granges and clubs; let us know if you are interested. Governor Holmes still has not made known his tax program. However, in his inaugural speech, he requested an esti mated additional $104,665,000 to Ex-Governor Smith's budget. To name a few of the major items, he has requested: I Basic school fund increase from S80 to $120 a total of some $38,680,000. II Higher education salary cut reinstated, $1,300,000. Ill Higher education capital program cut reinstated, $4, 022.000. IV Repeal of relative respon sibility, $5,000,000. V Centennial celebrat ion, $100,000. And there's more, to complete the $104,665,000. However, the few ways and means bills that have come to the floor and have been passed by the House indi cate a few minor cuts have been made. Members Quarantined Representative John D. Mosser (R) of Portland has joined his five children in quarantine with the chicken pox, so the House of Representatives and their wives and secretaries may be in quar antine before the week passes, as we have all been well exposed. Mrs. Holmes' Tuesday after noon teas for the public have been well attended. Most of the legislators' wives were there for her first tea. The house the Holmes have taken for the session is located on Alvarado Drive. It is rather unique. It has a panoramic view of the Willamette valley. One wall of the living room has a water fall seemingly coming from the ceiling and it tumbles into the back of a huge planter near the floor. Mrs. Holmes is a gracious hostess and like Mrs. Patterson, she likes people to call her by her first name Marie which most of us do. Many Parties The social whirl is whirling, with the legislative group in the center. There have been .Tidar. February 12. 1957 many teas, coffees, luncheons, etc. The largest tea last week Dr. and Mrs. Vern Miller's on Fairmount Hill. They too have a panoramic view of the valley. Jean (Mrs. William) Mc- wives who presided at the beautifully valentine decorated tea table. Jean has been asked to pour at Mrs. Holmes' tea on Tuesday of this week, too. The speaker's wife, Mrs. Doo ley, and Mrs. Robert Steward, (whose husband has been ap pointed the new director of agri culture, entertained the wives of the Representatives at Meier and Franks' tea room with a coffee and a style show. Wednesday at 9 a.m., St. Ames guild of St. Paul's Episcopal church gave a "kidnap break fast," a "come as you are party," because a group of women are delegated to pick you up and you go as you are. Some were dressed in outlandish attire for the occasion. About 65 of us were "kidnape d," including Mrs. Holmes and Mrs. Elmo Smith. On St. Valentine's day, the House of Representatives looked like a flower shop. Almost every desk had a potted plant or vase of flowers. The men sported flowers in their lapels and the girls corsages. State 98 Years Old It was called to our attention that the State of Oregon was 98 years old on Valentine's day. Also, that House Bill 351, rein stating the provision of a three day waiting period for a mar riage license, is unfair to Mr. Cupid. Visitors from Jackson county have been included. Mrs. Bereth Hopkins here appearing before the elections committee and Orrin Brown here on the meat inspection bill of last session. This session, it will appear in two different bills, S.B. 117 and H.B. 420, one for the Act and one for the appropriation of the money for the administration of the program. Carlos Morris was here to work on the proposed coroner bill that is now being drafted. Jackson County Assessor Ray Schumacher and Mrs. Schu macher were here for the Sen ate tax hearing. Leonard May- field was here for the school hearings. Both Mr. Mayfield and Al feel we have a chance of get ting the "Key district" school support bill through this time. The City of Portland seems to be the only strong opposition this far. Seems the new baby -crop is being named after Mark Hat field. I met one that has just received a gold elephant bank from the secretary of state for bearing his name.

" l-o Anceiea 27, California. "No woman," says Mrs. B Knows tne meaning of real deep-down loneliness until she has been widowed. To have been married ana then to be left sud denly and forever alone, to have Deen tne center of someone's world and then to be without anyone who cares that is lone liness. Mrs. B. knows this loneliness She is a widow. Chic, well-tail ored, ner freedom envied by her irienas sne is secretly lonely. Her children lead full and busy lives oi tneir own, no longer needing her. Her friends have their own families, their fireside circles which hold no permanent place for her. Her work absorbs her during the day, but always she must return to the loneli ness of herself and her own apartment after the gayest party or the warmest visit. Should Mrs. B. marrv auain? Should she try to live with her children? Realistically speaking, rela tively few widows can success fully remarry unless they are young. Available males diminish in fatal rapidity with the years after . the thirty-fifth birthday. The longer life span of the fe male promises a constant ma jority of widows, who sit empty-handed, facing the blank wall of time." As for living with grown chil dren, statistics ,from the coun selor's desk and the divorce court prove it may be the foun dation for yet more unhappiness. No house, an adage says, is large enough for two women. Hindus solved the widow prob lem by compelling the wife to mount her husband's funeral Archduke Otto To Speak Here , For Dinner Club Archduke Otto of Austria will be speaker for the March meet ing of Rogue River Valley Knife and Fork club. The duke's cou sin, Felix, was speaker for the first meeting of the Medford club 11 years ago. Archduke Otto, heir to the throne of the Hapsburgs, is de scribed as one of Europe's best informed men. He has appeared 156 times for Knife and Fork clubs in all parts of the United States, and is said to be one of the most popular on the club's roster. He lias traveled in all parts of the world, and speaks faultless English.

The Middle Ages coniinea ner in a convent. Early colonial days set her to work in missions and among the poor. Today sometimes sees her as a doer of dishes, a baby sitter, or a seu-made martyr, saturated with self-pity, and terrified by spectres of age and loneliness. Everyone, to be happy, needs security, responsibility, and the company of other human beings. Slowly we are approaching se curity for the aged and the lone. Even more slowly we approach the study and formation of a social system which will insure responsibility for the , "woman alone." The aggressive idleness of some old and some not-so-old can best, be combated with a definite need for sharing of life's responsibilities, a consciousness that the world has a place and a need for the widow, which is important. A widow, whose life was once full, wants to feel needed. When she loses this feeling, she is filled with fear, which is an other name for loneliness. When society, in . the future, under stands this and makes a place in the sun for the woman-with-out-a-man, and 'helps her provide her own inner resources, there will indeed be. greater happiness for all. The solution is up to all of us. ' .
