Mrs. Proxmire offered tills
advice to women who will
be active in the 1080 cam
paign:
"Don't become emotional
ly 'involved."
"This is hard for newcom
ers to politics, and even hard
er for women," she said. "But
you can tear yourself to
pieces.
Makes List
Mrs. Proxmire has drawn
up a list of 45 wives of con
gressmen whom she feels
would be a credit . to their
party on the stump. She still
has to convince them to speak
but has few qualms about
their loyalty.
Active in Wisconsin politics
since 1950, Mrs. Proxmire
has served as a precinct com-
mitteewoman, poll - watcher
finance secretary of the Dem
ocratic parly in the Badger
stale, blie was among a group
of University of Wisconsin
students who helped to re
vive the party In 1946.
She was born in Pittsburgh,
Pa., but lived most of her
childhood in Washington,
D.C. She likes to joke that
her husband married her be
cause she can type.
She has a Phi Beta Kappa
key to prove she's capable of
other chores, too. Mrs. Prox
mire has substituted for her
Iniband but prefers to leave
the speechmaking to him,
"I get too scared," she dis
closed in an interview. But
she will continue to help with
his campaigning.
Mis. Proxmire is 5 feet 8
inches tall and weighs 125
pounds - the same as she did
in high school. She likes tail
ored clothes that can be pack
ed easily into a suitcase.
Her Iwo daughters, Mary
Ellen, 14, and Jan Cathy, 11,
are spending the summer at
a camp in Wisconsin.
Mrs. Proxmire spends hours
watching Senate sessions
from the gallery. She's not
on her husband's payroll but
helps out by writing a chum
my women's column that is
sent to about 50 newspapers
in their home stale.
She plans to run the speak
ers bureau from the sena
tor's office, hoping to attract
women such as Mrs. Paul H.
Douglas, wife of the Illinois
senator and a former con
gresswoman; Mrs. Philip A.
Hart, wife of the Michigan
scnator-and a veteran cam
paigner, and Mrs. Frank
Church, wife of the Idaho
senator.
She also hopes to ask Nan
cy Williams, wife of the Mi
chigan governor, to make
platform appearances.
Soaking vegetables before
cooking causes loss of vita
mins and minerals. Excep
tions are brussels sprouts and
broccoli that must be soaked
to get them clean.
To remove scorched food
from the bottom of an alumi

allow it to boil, then remove
the softened food with a

Traveler
Home Again
Central Point - Mrs. Mary
Cellura, 17 Maple street, Cen
tral Point, had not been back
to her native Italy in 29 years
when she left this summer
for a visit in that country
Mrs. Cellura was apprehens
ive that everything would
seem strange after so long an
absence.
Instead, the visitor found
everything "so Americanized"
that she felt right at home.
"When I stepped out of the
plane at Rome the first thing
I saw was a big sign reading
"Lucky Strikes." It was the
same everywhere I went. The
shops, stores and apartment
houses are being made to look
like those in the United
States."
Mrs. Cellura said Italy was
filled with American tourists,
and she was asked often to
translate for someone who
needed help. The traveler
visited her sister in Palermo,
where she lived before com
ing to the United States, and
was also in Naples and in
Casino.
The trip over was by way
of San Francisco, New York
and Paris. She re-embarked
at Rome after a three-months
stay, and returned to Oregon
by way of Paris, Montreal,
Canada, Los Angeles and San
Francisco. The trip was by
Trans - World airlines super
jet, and the traveler praised
the company and its em
ployees highly saying that al
though this was the first time
she had ever been in an air
plane, everything was done
to make her feel secure and
comfortable.

End Camping Trip
Hornbrook - Mr. and Mrs.
Paul Greene and granddaugh
ters Linda and Lydia, have
returned from their annual
two weeks' camping trip.
Their first stop after leaving
here was a brief one at Bur
ney Falls, and their next was
at Lassen National park where
they made the two and a half
mile hike from the highway
where the elevation is 8,000
feet, to the top of Mt. Lassen
which has an elevation of
10,000 feet. From Mt. Lassen
they drove to Graeagle and
Gold lake in the high Sierras,
then spent a week among
"typical alpine scenery" at
Sardine lakes at the foot of
the Sierra mountains.
Leaving there, they spent
one night at lower Salmon
lake, then went on to their
favorite camping spot at
Round lake. Here they pitched
camp in the midst of a "grove
of every kind of evergreen
imaginable." Round lake, says
Mrs. Greene, sits down in a
hollow like a miniature Crater
lake, and is surrounded by
huge bluffs and broken rocks
covered with countless varie
ties of rock plants. En route
home, they made another brief
stop at Burney Falls. Mrs.
Greene took around 600 feet
of colored movies of their trip.
