MAIL TRIBUNE
jSchool Bill Hearing Held
With Record Attendance
By FRANCES LITTRELL
On Tuesday. 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.

"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

pyre. Eskimos passed the bereft
wife on to her brother-in-law
or pushed her from a conven
lent ice floe. 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. ' .
