It is to arrive soon, and will be set uo immediately. Mrs. Huson states that the shell will be the first one in southern Oregon, and that it will be loaned to the Medford school district when it is needed. . The Wenger Music Equip ment company, where the shell was purchased, states that hun d r e d s of schools, colleges, churches and theaters use the shells.

Francyl Howard, wife of Uie Ore gonian credited with starting the movement to refer to Oregon voters the tax program which the last legislature adopted. What happened at the recent special election is now well known to everybody. After hearing Mary Howard talk about her husband and their activities as newspaper publishers, as citizens, neign bors and one-family welfare department, we decided she spoke the truth. Francyl Howard does indeed "get into things. The Howards both attended the annual fall conference of Oregon Press Women, held last week end at Indian Ford ranch near Sisters, and Mrs. Howard spoke for one of the luncheons. Her topic was "Newspapering Plus" and she spoke about the "plus" and not about newspapering. The Howards, who have been publishing the Greater Oregon at Albany for about 35 years and also publish another weekly, the Benton County Herald, have been married for more than 40 years. Mrs. H. said that when they were first married, her husband made it clear to her that no one who needed help was ever to be refused. During the depression they started by feeding tramps who came to their door and before long found that they were a clearing house for relief operations on a considerable scale. Mrs. Howard said the office and print shop was filled with stacks of dried prunes, potatoes, flour and whatever their friends and neighbors could spare, and when a family needed food, it was given to them. As time went by, clothing, extra furniture, cribs and baby equipment also changed hands through the Howards unofficial welfare department. They arranged for loans, prevented evictions, and sometimes stretched the legalities a bit if the emergency seemed to warrant the action. Through a column which Mr. Howard wrote, the couple worked to help prevent families from breaking up and endeavored to help the lonely find companionship, and if the friendship ended up in romance, sometimes the marriage ceremonies were per formed in the Howard's home. Mrs. Howard said that possibly as many as 150 couples had been married as a result of the column, the counseling and friendly activities of her husband and herself. At one time the Howards sponsored a series of parties for those without social life, and this later was replaced by the "golden age" and "senior citizen" activities which are so wide spread now in Oregon. Mrs. Howard touched only lightly on the recent political activi ties of her husband, but did say that in recent months he had suffered a heart attack, had injured a knee and had otherwise suffered physical disability but that he tried to brush these off whenever it meant failing to appear as a speaker or otherwise keeping the tax battle rolling. The editor had ouantities of mail concerning the tax legisla tion, and Mrs. H. recalled one which had been especially heart warming. A woman in Grants Pass working hard to get enough voter signatures for the referendum petitions wrote she had been worried something would happen to the signed petitions while in her care. Looking around her home for a safe place, she finally put them in the deep freeze until they could be mailed awav to Mr. Howard. In spite of the heart attack and the hard work of the tax campaign, Mr. Howard looked fit and didn't give the appearance of a man about to retire. We wonder, what will Francyl Howard get into next?
