ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington The man to whom Northwest Democrats are looking for help in get ting more money for John Day dam and other river pro- jects this year is known as the Gulliver of the Senate Allen El- i lender (D-La.) who is chair man of the Senate Public Tir-i... a . JLJpriatis sub- A Robt Smitb commmee. Last fall Ellender tramped alone into Siberia to see what the Russians were up to on their great rivers, and he re turned with 10,000 feet of film on Soviet dam building to support his conclusion that the U. S. isn't doing enough to match the Russians in this field. It was through Ellen der's backing that $1,000,000 was added to last year's bud get to start John Day dam, a $310,000,000 undertaking. Fairly regularly, Ellender plays handball in the Senate gym with Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.). The wise crack going the rounds now is: "If Dick doesn't get John Day dam speeded up he won't dare win a game of handball for over 100 years." Rep. Charles O. Porter (D Ore.), had the feeling he was being followed all last week, and for a man who has been HORNBROOK Women's Society Meets By MRS. H. H. CHAPMAN Hornbrook The Women's Society of the Methodist church met Thursday at the home of Mrs. T. D. Killings worth. Devotions were led by the hostess. In the absence of the president, Mrs. Ernest Adams, the meeting was con ducted by Mrs. Harry Chap man. Members present were Mrs. L. C.

Haworth, Mrs. Minnie Bloomingcamp, the Rev. and Mrs. Ted Hargreaves and daughter Denise. Two visitors also attended the meeting, Mrs. George Smith and Mrs. Artie Cly burn, both of whom became members. Final plans were made for the annual Valen tine Silver Tea to be given Feb. 13 at the church. It was requested that all who have clothing to be donated to the Church World Service pro gram have the clothing at the church on or before Feb. 27, at which time it will be boxed and sent to the World Service headquarters for ship ment overseas. At the close of the meeting, Mrs. Clawson showed color movies of pre vious meetings and events of the Women's Society. Because of the heavy rain and snow and the subsequent hazardous condition of High way 99 last Thursday, none of the Grange members from here was able to attend the benefit card party at the Greenhorn Grange hall south of Yreka. Consequently, at the regular meeting of Horn brook Grange on Friday, a collection was taken up and sent to Gazelle Grange, for whose benefit the party had been scheduled. The money will be applied to the fund they are raising to replace their hall which recently burned. Mrs. Laura Swinnerton gave a dinner party at her home Wednesday honoring her daughter, Mrs. Dave Hol land, on her birthday. Other guests were Dave Holland and Mrs. Bertha Bradley. Later in the evening, they were joined by the Holland's son, Bill who arrived home from Chico, Calif., to spend a week's mid - term vacation from Chico State college. On Tuesday, Mrs. Swinner ton entertained the Contract Bridge club at Mrs. Holland's home. Others playing were Mrs. Fred Mills, Mrs. Lester Nye, Mrs. Duane Hamner, Mrs." Bertha Bradley, Mrs. Henley Clawson and Mrs. John Griffin, the latter two substituting for regular mem- Stops Heart Gas 3 Jimes Faster Certified laboratory tests prove BELL-ANS tablets neutralize 3 times as much stomach acidity in one minute as many lending digestive tablets.

Mrs. Milo Dilley and daugh ter, Betty, of Reno, Nev., were in town last week on a trip to combining business and pleasure. While here, they visited at the Ardon Burns and Frank Bear homes, and Betty visited two days at the Hornbrook grammar school with her former classmates here. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Bradley and son of Napa, Calif., and his sister, Mrs. Zelda De Mar tino and daughter, Colleen, of Oakland, Calif., were week end visitors at Mrs. Bertha Bradley's. A telephone call Sunday morning to Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Jeter from their son, Bill, at Ft. Ord, Calif., advised them he was leaving by plane out of San Francisco that night for his new assignment at Ft. Monmouth, N. J., where he will be in the U.S. Army Signal school. Overnight guests at the L. E. Jeter home last Monday were her brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. James Fowler. They were en route to visit relatives of Mrs. Fow ler's at Seattle, Wash., from where they will begin their journey home to Ft. Scott, Kan. Recent Sunday dinner guests at the Ed Smith home, besides their son, Bob, of Roseburg, Ore., their daugh ter, Dorothy, and their other son and daughter-in-law, Dr. and Mrs. Edward M. Smith and son of Orland, Calif., were Mrs. Dora W. Marlahan, Mr. and Mrs. Burnell Burton and son, Ernest, Mike Marla han, all of Ft. Jones and Dr. and Mrs. George Kleaver of Yreka. Word has been received by his parents here that A2C Frank Fick is on a 90-day as signment at Wheelus Air Base in Tripoli from his home base at Wethersfield, England. Frank is with the 55th fight er bomber squadron. The next in the series of card parties being given by the Hornbrook Grange is warned by local police to car ry a gun for protection, this is nothing to laugh off. His feelings were right, for a reporter-photographer team from Life Magazine tailed him j for six days, shooting up some 750 films for a spread on "the congressman for Latin Am erica." How many of Porter's Ore gon constituents will see it remains to be seen, for it is j scheduled to appear in Life's 1 finanisVi-lancfnatrp pHitinn fnr 1 south of the border readers. Not that reprints probably won't find their way into the hands of Oregon voters on the sound theory that a slew of pictures of their congressmen is good for votes whatever the language that explains them. ix-ammmi r. ft win - t -wi 1 Of Our Tremendous Store-wide Rep.

Mrs. Norblad's job is to help tabulate the answers Oregonians have given to the list of questions of how they feel about everything from foreign aid to taxes. Those confounded robots in the bowels of the Senate of-j fice building have once more j confounded Oregonians who receive Sen. Wayne Morse's ; newsletter. j Several months ago.the ma chines that stuff envelopes got fouled up and stuffed Morse's envelopes with a letter of congratulations to high school graduates from Sen. Lyndon Johnson (D-Tex.). More re cently, they mixed up the big stacks of newsletters that go through the folding room every week and sent some of Sen. Pat McNamara's letters to those on the Oregon sena tor's list. The latter incident should aid in giving Oregonians a "liberal" education, since Mc Namara is of the same wing of the party as is Morse. But if those robots ever slip in some of the material of Sen. Harry Byrd or Sen. James Eastland, automation will be doomed. PLAYWRIGHT DIES Newark, N.J. (IP!
