MAIL TRIBUNI, Medford, t
Republican Women Hear
Senator Durno Report
State Sen; Edwin R. Durno
reported on the 1959 session
of the Oregon "legislature at
the June meeting of Jacksen
County Women's Republican
club held Monday noon at tfm
Red Cross building. .
The senator listed some of
the accomplishments of the
session. This included a new
juvenile code, new electrical
code, unemployment revi
sions, social legislation con
cerning Fairview home, Cot
tage Park farm and the Mid
Columbia hftne, establishment
of Oregon Technical Institute
in Klamath Falls as a state
school of higher education,
and a community college
law. The senator mentioned
some vl the interesting finan
cial allotments as being $75,
000 to theJractical nurse pro
gram; $200,000 fof education
al television; teacher scholar
ships for work 'with the
mentally retarded; $250,000
for. the gifted child program;
and $91 million to public wel
fare, of which $36 million
comes directly from this state.
Dr. Durno said future ses
sions loom as most important,
since the state faces reorgani
zation of state government,
and severe education and wel
fare problems.
"The best government is
that closest to the peaple,"
Senator Durno said. He is "op
posed to federal earmarking
of state funds." He also thinks
that the time has come for a
sales tax in Oregon. "Fifty
per cent of the people pay no
income tax, and few pay prop
erty taxes. The labor force
must be made- to realize that
they are capitalists as much
as anyone," he said.
Senator Durno touched on
the importance of party ma
chinery, told how one per
son's idea might become . a
law, and reported on the
corsmittee work to" which he
was assigned and the accom
plishments of these, particu
larly the newly formed fiscal
committee, which has resulted
in the appointment of a fiscal
officer for the state.
Senator ; Durno was intro
duced by Rep. Evelyn Nye.
Mrs. Sheridan Scott . gave
the invocation before the
noon meeting, followed by the
pledge of allegiance to the
flag. The club president, Mrs.
Murray Gardiner, introduced
Clifford D. Ouellette, Repub
lican 'county finance chair
man, who explained the three
phase financial campaign now
being conducted. Funds will
be collected as 'advance gifts;

To Agate Flat
The 90-degree temperature
of the first day of summer
was not enough to discourage
the 14 members and guests
who participated in last Sun
day's field trip of the Roxy
Ann Gem and Mineral club to
Agate Flats. This area, located
in the southwest corner of
Jackson county, is well known
among "rockhounds" for its
beautiful specimens of
dendritic agate.
Heavy pick and shovel
work by the group resulted in
some nice finds of this mate
rial. In addition many color
ful speciments of jasper were
located.
Eexamples of both these
gem stones will be on display
at the next meeting of the
club, to be held Friday, July
10, at 6 pan. in TouVelle State
park. Everyone is invited to
attend.
Direct
cial season for Portland will
open in October.
Tickets for the Medford
concert are on sale now at Pu-
rucker's, Swem's, Jean Hart's,

Survey Says Housewives
Now Using Kitchen More
By CLAIRE COX
United Press International
New York-fOPD-Well-inten-tioned
scientists, engineers,
architects and husbands have
been working overtime on a
thankless project - trying to
help housewives escape from
the kitchen.
The truth appears to be
that1 women simply do- not
want to be liberated from
their pots and pans.
They are, in fact, spending
more time than ever in the
kitchen, now that they don't
have to be there so much.
Evidence of this phenome
non came from two widely
separated sources - the giant
American Telephone and
Telegraph Company and Mrs.
America. .
They reported that house
wives are turning the kitchen
into a domestic command post
equipped with frozen dinners,
powdered soup, wall ovens,
self-defrosting turquoise re
frigerators, - deep freezes,
mixes, mixers, mashess, pul
verizers, grinders, juicers,
squeezers, toasters, roasters,
bakers, hot plates, rotisseries,
timers, electric can openers,
dish washers, clothes washers,
clothes driers, magnetic bul
letin boards, desks, card files
and even their own exclusive
pastel pink telephones.
Informants said the kitchen
still is the only .room where
the little woman reigns su
preme. If she wants to keep
on ruling the roost, they add
ed, she must do it from
there, i So, she sits at her
kitchen desk to do her paper
work, phoning and planning
when she .isn't cooking or
washing. .
A. T. & T. statisticians
stumbled on the mass return
to the kitchen in analyzing
figures on trends in telephone
placement.
Back To Kitchen
-When telephones first were
installed in homes, shortly be
fore the turn of cthe century,
nearly all were big black
monsters nailed to kitchen
walls. , -.
Through the decades, house
wives began to wander, tak
ing their telephones with
them, first intothe hallway,
then to the living room, bed
room and den. Finally the
trail led back to the kitchen,
where streamlined colored
telephones have been install
ed. In 1955, only 18 per cent
of all phones in U.S. homes
were in kitchens. Today, 28
per, cent of all home phones
are in kitchens-more than in
any other room. '
There is only one explana
tion for this, so far as A. T.
& T. is concerned. Women
are spending more time in the
kitchen, and they want a tele
phone close at hand.
Home economists back this
up with , statistics showing
that 25 to 40 per cent of a
woman's day is spent in the
kitchen.
That's what the John's-
Manville company found out
vorce, and juvenile delin
quency is rising at an alarm
ing rate, the aim of this 1959
project is to help combat dis
ruptive forces tearing the
family apart.
Prepared with the assist
ance of experts in the field,
"Cornerstones" is to be dis
tributed on a nationwide
scale, and may be had free on
request to American Mothers
committee, Inc., P.O. box

New York 17, N.Y. : . .
Mother Chosen
The committee, which offi
cially designated the Mother
of the Year in cooperation
with its state committees,
chose this year an outstand
ing personality, Judge Jennie
L. Barron of the Superior
Court of Massachusetts.
"With the introduction of its
1959 project,' the committee
launches a nationwide contest
open to everyone,, to' find
suggestions, or a "creed" for
happier family life. National
ly known judges are Mrs. Ivy
Baker Priest, treasurer of the
United States; Mrs. Norman
Vincent Peale and Mrs. J. C.
Penney, board members of
the American " Mothers com
mittee; Miss Arlene Francis,
Broadway and TV star; Judge
Samuel S. Di Falco of the
Surrogate court of New York;
and Dr. Howard Taft Behr
man. State and national win
ners of the contest will re
ceive significant rewards.

when it started to build a
"Mrs. America seven-star
dream home'' in Ft. Lauder
dale, Fla., where the Mrs.
America contest is held each
year.
What They Want
The architect decided to
find out what housewives
wanted in the way of a home,
so he polled all 49 entrants
in last year's Mrs. America
pageant.
The women had sharply di
vergent tastes when it came
to .architectural style, but
they agreed that the kitchen
was the heart and nerve cen
ter of the home.
Architect J. K. Pownall
bowed to the ladies. He re
versed his usual home-designing
procedure to draw the
plans for the kitchen and an
outside barbecue pit first.
Then he arranged the rest of
the home around them.
The kitchen was larger
than usual and was crammed
with every labor-saving de
vice known to woman.
"We designed this house
from the inside out," Pownall
said. "We started with the
work center. The walls came
last. Usually it's the other
way around."
Woman Named Champion
Of Supermarket Checkers

New York-(UPD-The custom
er supposedly ii always right
-but in the supermarket she's

most cashiers

it doesn't help when the cus
tomer insists that produce for
instance should go to the bot
tom of the bag.
; "We let her have her way,"
said Mrs. Kucab. "So what
happens? Next time she's in
the store, she complains that
the peaches and plums and
berries were crushed. J
"Then there's the helpful
customer. She repeats the
price on the can- or, package
as you ring it up . . . but some
times there are specials and
the marked price is higher.
When you're working fast and
trying to keep the specials in
mind, the customer can be dis
concerting. What she is doing
is risKing being charged the
regular instead of the special
price. .. '"
But the champion checker
says these things - including

day's work. A good checker
never shows annoyance.
