Bock Stairs: Welk Show Pleases Ike
Br MERRIMAN SMITH
UPI While House Reporter
Ladies and gentlemen
closely familiar with the re
action of President and Mrs.
Eisenhower to professional
entertainment say never have
they seen the chief executive
and his wife enjoy anything
quite as much as Lawrence
Welk.
The champagne music man
who confounds the jazz
hounds by his smashing suc
cess on television came to
dinner at the White House
this week. Welk, his orchestra
and Alice Lon, the "Cham
pagne Lady," entertained in
the East Room after Dinner.
Watch Walk Often
Mrs. Eisenhower confided
to Miss Lon that she and the
President watch the Welk
organization on telev i s i o n
whenever possibleand Welk
is on twice a week with his
bubbling music beloved of
those who think Benny Good
man is a golf pro. y
The President enjoyed the
East Room musicale so much
that he stayed up quite later
than usual to have a private
20-minute chat with the or
chestra leader.
Lady reporters who cov
ered the musicale were some
what unprepared for the split
second timing of the wavy
haired maestro. One girl re
porter, intent about her busi
ness, walked up with pad and
pencil to ask Welk a ques
tion. Before a word could be ex
changed, the band leader
snatched the pad and pencil
away from the lady, scrawled
his autograph and handed it
back to her with a great big
smile.
The fact that Mrs. Eisen
hower, at least, is an inveterr
ate television viewer has re
flected itself in the just con
cluded White House social
season. In addition to Welk,
she also arranged for a simu
lated broadcast of thfe Voice
of Firestone, another major
TV musical show, for the en
tertainment world because
the President and his wife
rarely attend the theater or
concerts outside the White
House.
In their own White House
theater, they see the best
films Hollywood has to offer.
And their movie viewing is
liberally interspersed with
TV shows that hold special
interest. In other words, the
President and his wife don't
sit down in front of the TV
set any old time, flip the dial
and watch whatever happens
to be on at the moment.
Favorites in Black, White
While they like some of the
color TV shows, many of their
favorites are on in black and
white. Their TV taste runs to
shows like Lawrence Welk
and Perry Como. The Presi
dent likes some sports events,
particularly football, and a
few choice Westerns.

Forestry Board
Bill Brings First
Debate in Senate
Salem -UPD- The first de
bate, in the Oregon Senate
since the 1959 session opened
took place Thursday over a
bill authorizing the State
Board of Forestry to acquire
property by eminent domain
needed for constructing ac
cess roads into forest lands.
The bill came to the floor
of the Senate on a favorable
report from the Senate Com
mittee on Natural Resources.
The hassle occurred when
Sen. Dan Dimmick (D-Rose-burg)
attempted to have the
bill referred to the Judiciary
Committee.
Sen. Walter Leth (R-Salem)
defended the Committee's
report, saying the Forestry
Department needed the au
thority in order to act swiftly
on building access roads in
order to get out ripe timber.
The- Senate will vote Fri
day on adoption of the mea
sure. Re-Assessment Bill
Sen. William Grenfell Jr.
(D-Portland) has introduced a-j
proposal making mandatory
a cooperation of counties with
the State Tax Commission in
carrying out the re-assessment
program on property.
Most counties have entered
into an agreement with the
state to re - assess property
but there are still some that
Mrs. Jean Hart
Plans Opening of
Store Addition
To mark the completion of
an addition to her store and
extensive renovation, Mrs.
Jean Hart has planned a
grand opening and trunk
showing of sports clothing
for Monday, Feb. 2.
The store is located at 617
East Main st. in the expand
ing East side shopping area.
Favors will be presented to
those visiting the store Mon
day.
Here to manage the trunk
showing of the Glen of Michi
gan sportswear will be Mrs
Emma Lyn Huber, sales rep
resentative of the firm. The
showing will be from 9 a.m.
until 4:30 p.m. Mrs. Hart has
carried the Glen of Michigan
line for several years and
pointed out that it has proven
popular with southern Ore
gon women.
Acquires Space
The addition to the store,
acquired by taking over space
to the east formerly occupied
by an insurance firm, is 14
by 40 feet. This area will
house the sportswear stock
and the corset and brassiere
stock of Mrs. Idah Wood, who
operates this department
under a' lease from Mrs. Hart.
Mrs. Wood has been associ
ated with Mrs. Hart for the
past three years.
.New dressing rooms are
also located in this part of the
building.
The entire interior has
been redecorated, using a
cream color scheme accented
with redwood trim. The' red
wood has also been used for
divider sections and new
shelves. The heating and ven
tilating system of the store
has been modernized.
Mrs. Hart states that all
lines of coats, suits and dress
es carried in the past are
being continued, and that
new lingerie and hosiery
counters will permit addi
tional stock in these depart
ments. Mrs. Hart has been in busi
ness in Medford for the past
13 years. She started with a
personal shopping service,
and then opened the clothing
store at a location on South
Grape st. Five years ago she
moved to the East Main st.
location now occupied by the
store.

lag behind," Grenfell said.
Present law calls for all
counties to enter into the as
sessment arrangement with
the Commission by 1961 but
Grenfell does not feel this is
soon enough. .
Only six counties have not
signed agreements with the
Commission. '
Mrs. L. K. I am so upset
about my 20-year-old daugh
ter Harriett I hardly know
what to do.
Six months ago she broke
an engagement to a very nice
young man she had gone with
for four years. She broke it
just out of childish foolish
ness. She met a man of 30,
who happened to be good
looking and a slick talker,
and she fell for him head over
heels. Within two months he
got tired of her and now she's
left high and dry just as I
told her she'd be.
The big problem now is
that all her old friends boys
and girls are disgusted with
her and won't have anything
to do with her. She's out of
the swim. She wants to go
away for a while and visit her
aunt. I tell her there's no hid
ing place. She has to face the
music.
Harriett K. I don't know
how I'm going to face the
music if nobody even asks m
out to face it. Even my best
girl friend turned against me.
My ex-fiance is very popular
with our whole crowd, .every
one feels that I save him
raw deal. We had gone steady
since our high schol days.
I realize that I made a bad
mistake, but what am I sup
posed to do about it? Leonard
wouldn't have me back even
if I begged him. Anyway. I
not sure I would want him
again even if he asked me.
My mother doesn't want me
to visit my aunt because she
is a career woman who never
married. Mother knows that
I admire her for her success
and she's afraid I'll get "fool
ish notions." I don't think
will. I just want to get away
from it all for a while.
The Council Both mother
and daughter overlook . some
important factors in this sit
uation. These factors may in
fluence their outlook on the
immediate future.
The most significant factor
is that Harriet is not guilty of
any serious crime-and doesn't
deserve to be treated like a
culprit. She should not have
to "face the music or to
"get away from it all." Her
friends are dead wrong to
boycott her. They can sympa
thize with her ex-fiance, but
it is not up to them to pass
sentence in this very per
sonal matter.- Eventually one
or all of them will realize it.
' Harriet and her mother
seem to have accepted the
verdict of the "crowd"-that
she has done a terrible wrong
in breaking the engagement
They fail to recognize that
the wrong preceded this
event. Harriet undoubtedly
had quite a bit of uncertain
ty about her engagement to
Leonard. If she weren't
shaky in her feelings about
him and her approaching
marriage, she would never
have allowed another man
to enter the picture. It" is
quite likely that she used the
second man as an easy and

irrational way out of her
commitment to Leonard.
A girl who has gone steady
with one man since the age
of 16 may well have misgiv
ings about marrying him.
Harriet must have wanted to
know others and to put her
feelings to the test. She
should have done it before
she got engaged, but she
probably didn't permit her
self to feel her own doubts
until she was faced with the
actuality of marriage. Any
true friend should understand
this.
A period of separation may
do both Harriet and her
friends some good, but Har
riet should recognize that she
has no reason to hang her
head in shame.

New Course Offered
For Social Workers
At Southern Oregon
Ashland - Leading to a
bachelor of science degree in
general studies with a major
in social scien.ee, a . new
course offering for social
workers has been instituted
at Southern Oregon college,
according to Dr. Alva W.
Graham, director of graduate
studies.
Stressing the Increasing de
mand for graduates in this
area, Dr. Graham quoted
James Pullman, Jackson
county welfare administra
tor, as saying "The demand
for qualified social workers
is great and the number of
professionally qualified ap
plicants very small."
"This new course has been
specifically designed to meet
this need," Dr. Graham said.
"It will enable students . to
enter directly into social
work or take graduate work
at such schools as the Uni
versity of Washington or the
University of California."
Rewarding Profession
Social work can be a high
ly - rewarding profession,"
Graham continued, "not only
from a psychological stand
point but in terms of salaries
and prestige. Possessors of a
BS degree are offered about
$4,000 a year to begin with,
and those who specialize in
graduate work begin at sal
aries of five to six thousand
dollars."
For the freshman and
sophomore years, the recom
mended program is the same
as for all general studies stu
dents. On the junior and
senior levels sequences will
be required fn anthropology,
sociology, philosopy, political
science, and allied courses.
Individual courses such ai
marriage and the family, hu
man development, and ado
lescent psychology will also
be required, and there will
be opportunities for exper
ience with social agencies
under the direction of Dr.
Frederick Trost, college co
ordinator and staff member.

eons to prevent blood clots
after operations, according to
current medical procedure.
