FRIDAY, MARCH 5. 1954 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH PALLS. OREGON PAGE THBEI this 'n that 1 n Til 1 .. -A- ST) I I iLWX&tOj (III RUTH KING Woman's Editor ll , , v, A PRINTED BIT OF PAPER that brought pleasure to Jennie Harwood Crandall, meant more than an honorary life membership in the Klamath Falls Business and. Professional Women's Club when it was presented ... it represented the friendships, she has made, her loyalty to the community, her creed of service, fulfillment of her duties in the business world, her family's esteem ... it meant that Jennie Harwood Crandall is appreciated by those who know her, . She was born 77 years ago, last October 3, the daughter of Martha and Thomas Harwood in New York State. Twenty four years later, in the white silk dress she wore as a maid of honor in a city celebration, she married a future gold miner who was to become one of Ore gon's few centenarians, Willmott Crandall, whom she manages with gentle hand. Her first home as a bride, was a cabin in the mountains above Minersville. She went to Los Angeles for the birth of her first and only son, Russell, whom she brought to his father when he was a downy-haired three months old. . After a short visit in Illinois, Jennie Crandall and her family came to the Klamath Country in 1910 to operate Klamath Falls' first steam heated hotel, the Washington. It was then she came to know two friends, Bula (Mrs. Amos N.I Kelsey and Nina (Mrs. E. M.) Bubb, friendships that have lasted through the years. Grass was an unknown quantity in town in those days, Jennie Crandall remembers, and the only pocket siied patch was nearly hidden by an oversized sign "Keep Off the Grass." She lived in Malin on a homestead, came back to our town to help operate the old Marshall House and send her son to Stanford . . . came-back to join the BPW, 23 years ago when members all took potluck to the library building and listened to ideas on making bigger, and better Klamath Falls, from a woman's point of view. ' Her energy, as the years passed, sent her back into business in ready-to-wear at La Pointe's where she greeted customers for 14 years, two years as a hostess. She is a member of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, makes aprons for a hobby, gets up at night to make coffee and chat with her husband when he is restless. Somedays, she dresses smartly and with a shopoing spree as her goal, walks the long blocks from her home, 215 Eldorado Avenue to her pet dress shop to make a womanly decision over cottons and nylons. Today, she is bound by the fetters of friendship to BPW. The life membership was pre sented by a past president of the Klamath Falls club, Mrs. Jean Porter, right. Wash.

WASHINGTON The following is letter received from Mrs. Sam Coon, wife of the Republican Rep resentative from toe 2nd district in Oregon; whose home is In Baker Mrs. Coon has visited in Klam ath Falls severs) times. She is leading a busy life in Washington D.C.: . - . Since Sam and I have returned to Washington, the activities have been unusually heavy. Washington, to a newcomer like me, is exciting and Interesting but not enough time to sit at the typewriter and have a chat with you. There Is no city in the country like Wash ington, but I still like Oregon. The convening of Congress and the President's State of the Union message is always a thrill, and to see a few familiar laces coming back this time helps a lot too. After the President gave his mes sage to the joint session of the House and Senate and they adjourned, I met some other wives of congressmen and we went to the House restaurant for lunch. There were six of us from the states of California, Maryland, Florida, Indiana, Ohio and Ore gonboth Democrats and Repub licans. It was like an - old home week and fun. Recently. I had . the L-eiesting experience of attending tile Repub lican National Committee meet ings held here In the Statler hotel. As you know, Mrs. Marshall Cor- nett is our Republican national commltteewoman from Oregon, and I felt it an honor to represent her by proxy when she was unable to come to Washington. The first day was devoted to the meeting of the national commltteewomen from all the states, Hawaii, Alas ka, Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Miss Bertha Adkins of Maryland, assistant to chairman Leonard Hall presided and she Is a capable per son for the job. At noon we re cessed for lunch where top women appointees of the Eisenhower ad ministration spoke. One of the speakers, Mrs. Alice Leopold from Connecticut, who is now in the La bor Department, I had met last year when we were both waiting lor a cab. When we found we wanted to go the same direction we rode together as far as the Union Station where she was catching a train and I went on to the Capi tal. Mrs. Leopold was then the secretary of state from Connecti cut, t The business meetin? continued after lunch and at 5:30 the Repub lican nauonai uommittee-held open house in the congressional room ut uie statler. Chairman and Mrs. Hall were in the receiving line. This gathering was for the purpose of Bvmg me committee men and women the opportunity to meet their congressmen. Sam met me there and we visited with friends for a while then went on tn th F Street Club where Under Secre. tary of Commerce and Mrs. Robert Murray nad a reception. SAW MAMIE Friday we, met in full committee with men and women, lunched at noon, meeting again in afternoon and then the big moment Tea at 5:30 at the White House. Jess iiard. Republican national com mltteeman from Oregon and I went to the White House together. We stood in the receiving line until out turn to shake hands with Presi dent and Mrs. Elsenhower. They are so friendly and make you feel thev are glad you could come. The f rst lady was radiant in a cocoa lace dress with a scoop neck line and short sleeves. She was wearing an eiepnant pin set with brilliants Very appropriate for the occasion After Mr. Card and I went into the large dining room and had our tea, we walked into the reception nan and mere stood "Mamie'.' We had a nice little chat with her. She remembers Oregon well because it was in Klamath Falls that they had to get out of bed at two in the inornuig and appear on the rear platform of the train. It must have been pretty rugged campaigning In all the 48 states, but she said she enjoyed every minute of it and she looks like the kind of person who would. She is so buoyant and lively. From the White House I went to Sam's office where we met the Scott s of Baker and the Larry smyui s. we all went in our car to the Ullne arena for the Lincoln Day fox supper. We had fried chicken, salad, rolls, pickles, cake, etc., in boxes and ate with them on our lap. It was good, also a fine show and some excellent speeches irom ail the Republican leaders. Vice President Nixon was emcee and a dandy. After the speeches me president arrived and gave wonderful talk, and then said, "and now I would like to have you meet my Mamie." Mamie came on the platform, waved and smiling) at usual and looking sweet as a pic ture in a black princess style coat dress and pale blue hat. , MEETING Saturday mornlnr meeting and lunch at noon, sat at Miss Ad kins table with six other people and Sherman Adams, who was the speaker for the luncheon. 'We talked about Oregon and the time he was in Prinevllle during the Cattlemen's Convention. He likes Oregon and said he would like to go back if he had an invitation. So right there he got an invitation- Bertha Adkins had a reception at the suigrave Club at 5:30 for Mrs. Howard, Mrs. Pace and Mrs. Lord. Again I met Sam at the reception and after we left there I was ready to fall Into bed, Such a busy three days. It was wonderful to Bee Prescott and Louise Lilley. It is always like a shot in the arm to see friends from home. Spent every minute we could with them. Unfortunately' we had some other engagements we had to keep. One was the Ore gon dinner which we look forward to because we can visit with Ore- gonlans from all over the state. It was a good dinner and Druses I from all over the stale, If you had lucky number. Sam and I didn't so did not win a prize. Would like to have drawn the pine tray given by the Baker County Chamber of Commerce, but we were glad some one was fortunate to draw a nice gift like that from Baker. The speeches were under the five minute rule. Norblad only tallied 3. Sam 3'A, Ellsworth and Angell 4, but Morse took the full five. Cordon was in Portland giving speech. They all thougm Bam gave the best talk and of course did. ' MOVED AGAIN We are enjoying out little house, and I mean little. It , Is hard to imagine anyone building a house as small as this one. First floor has hall with stair going up from it. living room and kitchen. The living room is small but attractive with gold colored rug, gold damask arapes witn federal cornice board with gold eagle In center. Sofa Is same color and makes Into a bed So we have room for you when you come. Two antique chairs covered with damask in gold. Two side chairs upholstered with raspberry colored material, Black and gold lamps, large mirror over fireplace. candlesticks with crystal prisms on mantel, out iron coitee table with glass top. Small kitchen off livine room and a small round table with glass top. Small kitchen off living room and a smau round table with half circle seat around it. Upstairs Is fair sited bedroom and bathroom. Nicely decorated and everything furnished. Patio In rear of house and we shall enjoy it a lot as soon as weather per mits. It is quite far out on Massa chusetts Ave. but in a nice area and we like it. Sam drives to the Capital and I get a cab or bus when I go. Have a good shopping center Including uanincuis. STUDIED HARD I signed up for three classes given at the Congressional Club. French, Journalism and millinery, also still belong to the White House Spanish class. Afraid I got too am bitious for my capacity although it is all very interesting. It certainly Keeps me rushing especially early in the morning. Classes start at journalism and French on Tuesdays and millinery Wednes day. I enjoy the millinery, it Is more my line than the Intellectual, but maybe I can absorb a little. Have had to miss Spanish for several weeks not enough time for -it. However, it is a nice way of getting better acquainted with wives of congressmen. We all have a lot in common, especially In election year. It seems to have Its effect on the wives too. Our 83rd club meets once a month for lunch and program. Last time we visited the British Em bassy. The latest painting of Queen Elizabeth had arrived that morn ing so we had the privilege of see ing It before the official "unveiling." There Is never a dull moment in Washington. Along with keeping up home and all the various activi ties, it is a busy life. It may seem I am too busy to remember you all but that is not true. So many interesting things come up and I wish you could be here to share them witn me.
