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.

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.
