Among recent summer visitors were Mr. and Mrs.

Charles J, Walker, Jacksonville. During their stay the
visitors were guests in the homes of a number of valley

Las Vegas and San Francisco.
Knowledge is Ammunition
Says Representative Nye
: "ttepubUcans should use
knowledge as political ammu
nition; we should know what
we're talking about, keep our
guns loaded and fire when
T needed." This statement was
; part of State Representative
Evelyn Nye s plea yesterday
to members of Jackson Coun-
', ty Women's Republican club
. to broaden ' their field of
knowledge and understanding
of all phases of government
'. on all levels
"We can be really effec-
- tive if we are well-informed,"
Mrs. Nye said.
"This group should be a
' nucleus of information which
generates work and action."
;Mrs. Nye explained at this
point that such a plan and pro
, gram need not conflict with
such groups as the League of
Women Voters.
Representative Nye said
that "politics can be fun, too"
and warned that women in the
political world had to guard
.against the "taint of the suf
fragette" and said they should
not be too aggressive nor take
themselves too seriously. "We
must learn how to influence
others without antagonizing
-them," she said.
Many Members
The speaker pointed out
that the National Federation
of Women's Republican clubs
now boasts of a half million
members and. said that this
group could be enormously
powerful. Referring to the
fact that the local club had
only recently become a part
of the state and national fed
erations, Mrs. Nye said "We
should be asking ourselves
what are we going to put
into this' and not "what can
we get out of this'?"
Mrs. Nye said her first term

you the most personal of surities ... a safe, protective creamy
liquid that maintains its guard all day long. Won't run or

in the legislature had con
vinced her that the average
voter is better informed about
the workings of the federal
government than the state.
She suggested that the local
club members bring them
selves up to date on Oregon
tax structure, on operation of
the legislature and other
phases of state government.
She said that, "constituents
should be vocal" but that they
must also be well-informed.
In reviewing the last ses
sion of the Oregon legislature,
Mrs. Nye said work had been
hampered because "the Demo
crats spent so much time fight
ing themselves. She gave
specific instances to back up
her statement, including a re
view of the progress of tax
legislation and said that what
happened to the first tax bill
reported out by the tax com
mittee, composed of six Demo
crats and 3 Republicans, had
been "the height of political
irresponsibility." '
I had the impression as
the session progressed that the
Democrats had arrived, but
didn't know it," Mrs. Nye
said. "They had the reins, but
didn't know where they want
ed to go." She also said that
there was much evidence that
the Democrats were pressured
by party leaders into voting
as the party wanted them to
vote, .whereas "The Republi
cans never once told me how
to vote." -Enjoyed
Experience
Mrs. Nye concluded that
she had enjoyed the experi
ence of being a member of the
legislature very much, and
added "But it was the most
strenuous enjoyment I ever
underwent."

pects a 20 to
25 per cent in-

from last year.
J. George Greenberg, secre
tary of the Fur Information
