Ap proximately 200 bills have been dropped into the hopper, 28 House bills have been passed by both houses, one Senate bill has been passed by both houses, which means they now go to Governor Holmes' desk for his signature, which will make them lawj 90 days after the session closes. Or if he decided to veto them, they are dead then and there. If, however, they have an emergency clause attached and he signs them, they will become law immediately. House Bill 616, amending Ore gon's election laws, came to our desks last week. It has 160 pages'. The doors of the House are now closed 30 minutes before sessions and they are remaining closed 30 minutes after we are recessed, in order to give us a chance to get a bit of work done before the public is admitted. As you may or may not know, the legislator's desk on the floor is also his of fice, so all dictation is given there on the open floor of the House of Representatives. How ever, we girls do have a typing room. That too is always noisy what with 12 or more type writers going at once and people are going and coming there, too. Now and then we do find an empty committee room for the taking of dictation and a quiet conference with our bosses. The desk is also the only filing cabi net and storage space provided. We pile that we can under the desk where the legislator's feet should go and it of course spills over on top of the desk, so the visitors go away remembering and remarking about our clut tered desks. Desks Cluttered The members of the House who farm are reminding the as sembly that planting time is drawing near and please can we speed things up a bit. One legis lator's reply was "we haven't mounted the horse yet and I've always understood you have to mount your horse before you could take off." At this point, the predictions are that this will be the longest legislative session yet for Oregon. I surely hope not, as most of the Legislators are showing strain now. Their sched ules are long and wearisome. Al goes to the State House around 7:30 a.m., never leaves until 4:00 p.m. or after, and often returns in the evening for a meeting or hearing which will often last un til 10 p.m. or after. Monday of last week, a bill was amended on the floor, some thing I'd never heard of. Always before they have been referred back to committee for amend ments and when I asked one of the senior members why, etc., his reply was "Representative Ed Mann isn't here this session." To amend a bill on the floor re quires unanimous consent of the assembly and Mr. Mann would never agree to a suspension of the rules, he said. The most important of the re cent social events was the recep tion given by President of the Senate and Mrs. Overhulse. The members of the House of Repre sentatives and wives, also the justices of the Supreme Court and the Board of Control and wives, were included. In other years, only the Senate has been asked to this event. Wouldn't you know, we missed it. Al had a meeting for that evening. Last weekend the Benton County Chamber of Commerce and Oregon State college really rolled out the red carpet for the members of the Legislature. Five special busses were chartered to take us to and from Corvallis where we were treated to beautiful buffet dinner and an exciting basketball game be tween WSC and OSC on Sunday last. , Ojr Remodeling Is Completed!

Bishop Dagwell was down from Portland to bless the house before the reception and to attend the party. Many Visitors Our guests from home have been many, which pleases us be cause at this point we are a bit homesick. To name a few: Eric and Betty Allen .of the Mail Tribune and their two pretty girls, Kathy and Jean; Mrs. Stephen Nye; Mrs. Maxine Smith and Leonard Mayfield here for the meeting and hearings of OEA; affable Jennings Pierce; Mrs. Jack Sanborn and her Girl Scout troop of 16 girls who spent the day here in the capital. We think and hope we gave them the full treatment even to a coke party given for them by one of the lobbyists (this word is now listed in the new dictionaries). Too, our little granddaughters Lynn and Jan were here and served as pages in the House. They were of course accompa nied by their parents, the David Brainerds of Petaluma, Calif. And Al's sons. Bob and Harold Littrell, were here for the Mon day morning session. The mail has been heavy and we like it that way. Board Trick The next time you clean the medicine cabinet try placing a bread board across the basin to hold items removed from the shelves. Wash the cabinet and shelves with hot soap or deter gent auds. While they are dry ing, wipe the bottles and jars with a damp sudsy cloth. Dry them as you replace them on the shelves. Then finish up by giv ing the board a sudsy hot bath and rinse before returning it to the kitchen.
