HP A MONDAY. Social Events Program Given On Playwright For Study Club Ashland The life of Play wright Eugene O'Neill, as toid In a recent book by Arthur and Barbara Gelb, was the subject of Mrs. Elmo N. Ste venson's book review given Monday afternoon before members of Fortnightly Study club. Mrs. P. Malcolm Hammond was hostess for the meeting which followed a social hour. Refreshments were served by Mrs. Herbert Specht and Mrs. M. P. Dunn. The famous American dra matist revolutionized the na tion's theatre with his brood' lng philosophical and psycho logical studies of modern man winning world recognition with a Nobel prize and four Pulitzer awards. O'Neill, the son of an ec tor, knew the stage before he became a seaman, a prospec tor and a newsman. His bi zaare personal life is reflected In his plays. Ever at conflict with life and those surround ing him, the playwright made use of symbols in stage ef fects, notably the sound of tom-toms in "Emperor Jones" and masks in "The Great God Brown." . In a less disturbing vein was the short subject chosen by Mrs. Herbert Lewis, who displayed the new World Book Encyclopedia Diction ary, just off the press. She read several selections as well as excerpts from the gift book, "Joy of Words," that pomes to all purchasers.

(Knacksledt photo) Tempo of Legislature And Work Increasing MARY JANE DELLENBACK Salem The legislative ac tivity is gradually, building up, and Utile Dy lime me tempo of our work increases, too. There is still the strange sensation of living in two worlds, and we are plunged so thoroughly into the one which exists for us in Salem, that it is hard to realize that it has been two years since we have done inese same things with some of these same people. U is particularly interest ing for me to watch Edith Bianchficld and Joan Redden, because I can understand so well the feelings the new leg islative wives and secretaries have. So niHiiy new terms whirl around in the air, and one is hard-pressed to get theni all sorted out and ex plained. Bill backs, amending, bill books, memorials, resolu tions, and many, many more things which have a special legislative meaning that we gradually come to understand. Then, too, there are tne many places In the Capitol that a secretary has to learn to find, and for what purpose they are needed.

The rooms housing the records and personnel of the various committees oper ating within the Legislature. The offices of the various Ore gon state officials, and the many services which are available to help the legis lator in his research, includ ing the legislative counsel of fice, where the drafting into legal and consitutionally ac ceptable language of many bills is done, the Stale Li brary, and many others. Work Is Hard I know Joan and Edith are working hard, because we spend a good many hours poumung uic typewriters in the secretarial typing room together. They are learning all the details that I learned two years ago about setting up the books which are to hold Hie 1800 or so bills which will be introduced Into the House and Senate. These books need to be indexed to allow easy reference to bills, memorials, joint memorials, resolutions, joint resolutions and concurrent resolutions. There are files to set urj. both for correspondence from home and for materials rele vant to the committees ap pointed to work on legisla tion. There are snowfall pro portions of printed matter on the desks each day, and the secretary is responsible lor finding a logical place to put it so that it can be found an other day. Each state office puts out an annual or biennial report, the interim committees ap pointed at the end of the last session have made up reports on their studies and findings, and there arc lots of misccl lanrcur reports from various parts of the state and organi zations. The task amounts to setting up a full-scale office In a hurry, in a limited space. We have the desk at which both the representative and his secretary sit. and thev I must share Hie drawer space. Some are used for items ho wants rapidly close at hand, j and some for the supplies used ! by the secretary to amend the bills to keep them in current ' form. There is a filing cabinet with four drawers for each representative. This is the cx ; tent of the space we have to ; use for all supplies and ma terials, and it is a joh requir ing quite a bit of thought to ! keep things from becoming j tTiaOuC: j Voting Begins 1 There are beginning to he j a few bills coming in for vote, ! and I am sure that the press Is keeping the reading public i well informed of the outcome. I It is interesting to see the ! thinking of the membership ' being formed, and to see the very great deal of discussion and soul-searching which does : on In trying to arrive at a correct vote. It is usually im possible to tell by vote the party affiliation of the mem . bcrs, because each man seems '. to arrive at his vote Individ ually, and by whatever pro ; cess of influence his thinking goes through.

Girl Scouts Troop 192 Rogue Valley area Senior Girl Scout Troop 102, under the leadership of Mrs. Ralph Barclay and assisted by Mrs. Fred Konschot, had an over night winter camp at the Girl Scout established camp, Low Echo, on Saturday and Sun day, January 26 and 27. The girls spent the two days skating and playing on the ice-some of the girls had never been on skates before, but according to reports, soon learned how, and were able to skate. The evening was spent around the fire of the big fireplace in the camp lodge. eating popcorn, banana boats, and playing games. Mrs. Barclay stated that to her knowledge this is the first troop to stay overnight in the lodge at Low Echo during the winter. She reported that the weather was beautiful, with sunshine, crisp and cold; at night the stars in the sky shone bright as diamonds, and the frozen lake moaned and groaned like a huge monster. The girls were fascinated with this, and enjoyed laying in their warm sleeping bags lis tening to the moans. It is hoped that more troops will take advantage of the op porluuity to try a winter over night at Low Echo. Girls on the camp trip were Sandra Bayliss, Linda Bnyliss. Jill Hibbs, Karol Konschot, Susan Cuperna, Julie Barclay, and Sue Williams. Program Planned For Garden Club Selections of plants for four seasons will make up the pro gram by Elton Waldron for the Medford Garden club meeting Ihursday, February 7, at l:;i0 p.m., in the Jack son county courthouse. The horticulture subject will be on pink and copper leafed beech to be given by Mrs. C. F. Gordon. Proportion, scale and rhythm for flowing arranging and how they effect each other will be the topic given by Mrs. Ira Fitzgerald. Tea chairman will be Mrs. C. Emil Duwe. moment of my writing is the salary bill for the legislature. There were no doubt as many reasons, almost, in the minds of the members for voting for or against that bill as there were votes. We were all quite Interested in seeing how the vole would come out, and I wouldn't have ventured to predict in advance, because amendments added on to an original hill are likely to cause a lack of, or addition to support. At any rate, we are glad to be renewing old friendships, and anticipate that association with some of the new mem bers will create new friend ships, just as valued. Vmi-Vidi By MARGARET SCHULER Taormino Six days it rained; on the seventh it snowed. All is well, good and fun for us in warm, picture window houses, but for the local residents, not accus tomed to such severity, it must be a difficult time. In many of the homes, the only heat is from brass pans (bra ziers) on standards, filled with coke. Shopkeepers leave their doors open all the days, and stand rubbing their hands, which are red with cold. At the Doney's of Taormina Macomba Bar, there is a fire place, a big, rather elegant one and in it is a fire of mod erate proportions. As the room is large, and a big stair way leading to the second floor tables, is open, the heat does not become excessive. Nevertheless, the loyal out door patrons all assemble every day for coffee and aperatif hours, for making dates, and for reading the daily papers. On Manila Piece One visitor here said, suc- cintly I thought, that she felt as though she were on a man tlepiece in Taormina; she had to either go up or down. Down is to the beach. That zig-zagging path takes about half an hour. It is seven hun dred feet to the bottom. Going up is sort of like, one might imagine, going towards infin ity up and up. We have favorite aauy walks. One of them is to Guardiola Vecchia, where Goethe sat and eulogized the beauty. It is believed that it was here he wrote his lovely Knowest thou the land where the lemon trees bloom." To attempt to cxtoll this beauty, one of the world's greatest panaramas, takes a Goethe, or a Newman, or Ber- enson. But I will stand aside for no one in my appreciation and love of it. Walk So we walk up and down. and into places, one of which is the cemetery. Whether in San Salvador, Vienna, Rome or Genoa, cemeteries have in dividualities. But this one in Taormina, has, I will wager, more practical aspects than you would find anywhere. It is classified. A little placard directs you, as you enter to "prica classe accommoda tions, "Secunda classe," and on through third class. After that it is simply "Compagna" (with out status). Pathetic lit tle mounds of stone are these. We were unable to find the placards for the deluxe class accommodations, al though luxury class there cer tainly is, very luxury class. The location commands the most spectacular vista of the sea, and, as good taste would dictate, off a bit from the masses. The mausoleums are well furnished, but we fell a brasier might not be out of place on these cold days. Quite apart from, and sepa rated by high walls is the protcstant division. Here we discovered such homely names as Jones, Schuler and Richards. We wondered, as we wandered, how much God appreciates this down to earth practicality. Enchanting If I had a Kodak, which I have not, I would not com pete with great photograph ers in taking pictures of the Greek theater, Etna, grand spectacle. I would concen trate on the helter-skelter lit tle streets, leading up or down as the case might be, from the "mantlepiece". I love those streets because o m What's it like to be married to one of the most successful and zany comedians in the nation? Patti Lewis, wife of star showman, business tycoon, devoted father and faniilvmau Jerry Lew!;:, answers in this intimate, heart-warniinj love letter "Jerry Lewis, M Funny Valentine" in the FEBRUARY 10TH Family "Weekly with the Valentine Cover by orfi'sf Homer Hill there is artless, fascinating enchantment. Artists dream places they could be. They are flower bedecked steps, balconies, windows. There are little Gothic doors, patina painted walls, old hanging lamps. There are orange trees, neat rows of them, load ed with fruit, and at the same time, blossoms, Mimosa, in great trees of foaming yel low; and jasmine and bougain villa cascade profusely out of balcony railings and over garden walls. There is beauty for every sort of person in Taormina; simple beauty, grand beauty and archeological beauty. Nevertheless, it is rather unique for a popular interna tional resort; there are no fancy night clubs, no big name orchestras, no exciting restaurants where visitors can claim to have had some rare and unusual dish; it is a great distance to the beach; it is quiet as a cemetery after about ten o'clock. It is un sophisticated and unassuming. Analyzing it, I can think only that it is the powerful appeal of the unadulterated beauty that is its fascination, that has been the fascination since early Romans found and developed it into a resort for their leisured class. To say that it is the most beautiful spot on earth, though there are those who do, is extrava gant. Beauty is relative and tastes differ. P.S. I must not give the im pression that Taormina is not an up-and-coming place. In fact the S.P.Q-R. could send down a delegation to look into the parking meter situation, with which Rome is un acquainted to date. Taormina has parking meters, one whole block of them, and it is quite certain they would have more if the one street in the city had another spot wide enough to harbor two cars parallel It is in front of the Macamba bar that we can sit, across from the piazza and watch well-groomed policemen slip pink tickets under swipers of guilty, negligent parties. New Social Club Being Organized Hornbrook A new social club, to be known as the Friendship club, was formed on Thursday with 10 charter members. They are from Hornbrook Mrs. Frank Bear, Mrs. Robert S. Thompson, Mrs. Gus Larson, and Mrs. Arthur Blanchard; and from Hilt, Airs.

The Lake County Girl Scout council, in its annual meeting here Jan uary 16, voted against this council joining with four others of Oregon and North ern California in formation of large Girl Scout council with headquarters probably at Eugene. The other four councils are Three Rivers, at Eugene; Western Waters, at Coos Bay North Bend; Juniper, at Klamath Falls; and Rogue River, at Medford. It was re ported here that Rogue River council also is opposed to the "larger jurisdiction" as pro posed by national and region al Girl Scout officials. Girl Scout leaders of the five councils have been hold ing a series of planning ses sions in preparation for the consolidation. The Lake County Council leaders be lieve this council provides a good program for the Girl Scouts and Brownies, and that activities of the larger juris diction would be too far re moved from Lake county. The Lake county leaders have been taking part in the planning sessions, because only by doing so can they be qualified to appeal to the Na Keep your suits trim and shapely th NU-WAY SANITONE DRY CLEANING J4f h i?'4 4 - VJ 7 U. - j There's more than just drycieaning to the Sanitone process.
