Long, Turbulent Session Coming to End in Salem By FRANCES LITTRELL Salem (U.R) In these last days (we hope) of this long and turbulent session, the legislative wives and secretaries are enjoy in? a social rush of brunches, teas and coffee. To mention a few, on May Day, Mrs. Fred Meek, wife of Representative Meek, gave a brunch in the Gold Room of the Marion hotel, hon oring Oregons first ladv. Mrs Robert Holmes, Mrs. Boyd Over- hulse and Mrs. Pat Doolev Twenty-five of us were bidden to this nice party. Later in the day four of us joined forces and gave a large tea in Meier and Franks beauti ful tea room (the Oregon room) We hostesses were Mrs. Walter Leth, wife of Senator Leth, Mrs layette Bristol, Mrs. Allen Tom nd myself, the last three, wives of Representatives. Our guests were wives of the state officials, legislative wives and secretaries tnd Salem friends; 246 called between 3 and 5 p.m. The host esses were joined by our hus bands later yi the afternoon. Mrs. Robert Holmes and Mrs. Sigfried Unander honored us by pouring the first half hour. We were especially pleased that Mrs. Paul Patterson and her unt, Mrs. Pat Allen, drove down for our party. Thursday Mrs. Robert Thorn ton gave a brunch for the legis lative wives at her home in Can dalaria Heights. I always enjoy her parties and her home is ar ranged so nicely for entertain ing. I often meet and chat with Jean McAllister. Jackson Coun ty can and should be proud of the McAllisters, they fit so nice ly here and one would think Bill had always been Justice Mc Allister. Vivian Unander has asked a small group of us to her home on Friday for an early coffee hour, and several of the secre taries who are not wives of leg islators have issued invitations for luncheons, coffees and teas. Thursday evening Dr. and Mrs. Ralph Purvine asked a large group in for cocktails and Sunday evening Dave and Fran ces Hoss (of Hoss radio) are hav ing a cocktail and buffet sup per for the legislative group. Session Long Last session we adjourned In the late afternoon of the 115t!i day. Early in the session there was hope of meeting that date Glycerine and Rosewater a century-old formula for soft, lovely skin, now available as a creamy compound JAR $1.25 TUBE 75c Helps keep kin supple and young-looking T Soothes, smoothes chapped, rough skin Excellent greaseless powder base Famous beauties of all ages hav known that cos metic loveliness starts first with soft, glowing skin . . and the great beauty basis in this respect has been Glycerine and Rosewater.

WAIUSCOTT'S PHARMACY 322 East Main St. again, however, that hope has diminished long ago. The tax program bills have just reached the Senate Tax committee and if they make any amendments there will be con ference committees composed of both Senate and House mem bers. These will doubtless be long and heated, then the bills will have to come back to th-j House where they originated for its approval. So its anyone's guess as to when we will be on our way home. Both the President of the Sen ate and the Speaker of the House and their spouses havj been presented with silver tea services from the legislative members, and as Ed Geary said last session, "after the silver service has been presented its time to go home." So the time to go home has come and there there is still work to be done the session goes on. Last Thursday the amended and revised Key District bill was passed by the House. It was not altogether to Al's liking, how ever, he felt that if it were op posed by many of the members it would be referred back to the committee and this late in the session it would never get back to the floor again and it was better to accept a part of a loaf than nothing. Al has served ori two sub committees. H.B. 618, a bill to modernize the State Forestry board, and H. B. 534, a bill to redraft the REA bill to restrict private utilities from infringing upon REA-served territories and vice-versa, it could, and did create a controversy between their methods of distribution of electricity. The bill passed In the House today, there was oo position on the floor, due to the fact that the members of the "third house" who represent the electric power interests were not completely satisfied with the bill, and it was partially their fault because they were invited to appear before the sub-corn mittee and give their opinions and suggestions and they chose not to appear. The amendments are greater each day. After amending a bill of seven pages yesterday and after the deletions, etc. I found had a page and a paragraph on another page left. I remark ed to Al that if the Ten Com mandments were read on the floor they would be referred to some committee for amend ments It seems the number of third readings have increased each day we have had as many as 25 in one day this week and 18 many days. Today we have 30. Members get very rest less during" these readings. On Monday the House passed "Big Bertha" HB 808 the elections bill that was born 616 due to additions, deletions, etc. it has, after 112 days in com mittee, emerged as HB 808. Mrs. Bereth Hopkins, Jack son county clerk, was in the balcony when it passed and she was still unhappy about it. She has worked hard and long on this bill and it is a disappoint ment when you have given so much of yourself to a cause and the results don't measure up to your expectations. Of course the members of the legislature have this happen often, and have to adapt themselves and try again. Speaker Dooley is trying to finish the work in the House this week and if so, the House will just be" sitting and waiting on the Senate. If so this will be my "sine die."
