Rep. Grace 0. Peck
Fierce Fighter for
Legislative Goals
By DOUGLAS GHIPP
Salem - (UPD - The trade
marks of Rep. Grace Olivier
Peck (D-Portland) are candy,
i Ilowers, tears
and a crusade
for the dis
abled of soci
ety - "legisla
tion with a
heart."
A powerful
voice for' wel
fare and so
cial legisla-
Douclai Gflim tion, this is
her fourth legislature. As usu
al, she is fiercely for her goals,
which include:
-A state women's prison.
-An expanded program for
aid to the blind.
-A $592,000 cerebral palsy
program at Fairview Home
for the Mentally Retarded.
She has many other projects
too, including a bill to block
Gov. Mark Hatfield from mov
ing the State Public Welfare
commission from Portland to
Salem. She also opposes his
government r e o r ganization
plan, especially transfer of
the Commission for the Blind
to a proposed social services
department. This, she said,
would water down the blind
program.
Mrs. Peck's desk In the
Oregon House is crammed
with IS candy Jars, pots of
flowers, and correspondence.
The chocolates, peppermints,
jelly beans, lemon drops, pea
nuts and licorice are for any
one who comes along.
She was the first legislator
to ask for a personal spittoon
this year. Secretary of State
Howell Appling Jr. gave her
one trimmed in lace. She put
pink chrysanthemums in it.
A real estate woman and
public stenographer, she was
born "around the turn of the
century" in Portland, daugh
ter of a Columbia river pilot.
She first was elected to the
legislature in 1948.
A widow with no children,
she also served in the 1957
and 1959 sessions. She wrote
the law making it illegal to
refuse to give up a telephone
party line in an emergency.
In 1957 she sponsored the
amendment restoring the
three-day waiting period for
a marriage license in Oregon.
She favors tougher marriage
and divorce laws.

Washington (Science Serv-itl !: ft-k'er rtj '
ice) - The fatal atomic ex
plosion near Idaho Falls,
Idaho, Jan. 3, has emphasized
the hazards of building nuc
lear reactors near large popu
lation centers.
This was underscored by
Dr. Russell V. Morgan, dean
of the new school of radio
biology at Johns Hopkins
University, Baltimore, and
Walter P. Reuther, president
of the United Auto Workers,
AFL-CIO, in statements made
independently.
In releasing a study of 40
reactor accidents prepared
by the AFL-CIO, the labor
leader said the Idaho explos

known to burst into tears on
the House floor.
A lifelong Democrat, she
gets a laugh out of the fact
that her initials are G. O. P.
She is proud of a charm brace
let given to her in 1957 by
Republican House members in
a show of nonpartisanship. It
includes an elephant - symbol
of the GOP - and a heart,
symbol of her lawmaking efforts.

Trained Hogs Have
Ready Market Value
Cooper, Tex. IUP1) - One good
thing about training a hog to
do tricks, says trainer Tab
Evans, is that when he retires
he has a ready market value.
Evans, whose hog Pork
Chop won national attention
through his tricks, was re
tired recently after he became
old and was shipped off to
the packing house.
Dedicated Postman
Dallas, Tex. flJPI) - A post
man stepped onto an elevator
at the Fidelity Union Life
Building with his jacket
wrapped around his waist, se
cured in front by knotted
sleeves.
Not a fashion trend for
postmen, he explained, but "I
ripped my trousers a minute
ago and this is just to cover
up the tear. The mail must
go through, you know."

Five-day Week Observed
by Banks throughout State
' rA five-day banking week is now being observed regularly by all
banks in Oregon. The five-day policy is the prevailing practice of
banks in the Western states as well as nationally.
Additional hours of banking service on Fridays or other week
days will be provided by many Oregon banks. Perhaps the main
consideration in establishing a regular five-day week was the wishes
of bank employees. Under present conditions many families with
both husband and wife employed find it impossible to spend their
weekends together. Also, a system of staggered days off during the
week has made it difficult to maintain the continuity of service you
should expect. Other conveniences such as bank-by-mail, 24-hour
depositories and speedy bank-from-your-car facilities also enable
five-day banking to suit your needs.
Your bank will appreciate having you discuss with them any
special problems resulting from Saturday closing.
