EVA ARTHUR CHOSEN WOMAN Cfc THEYEAR .LAKEVIEW-Mrs. Eva Arthur has been named "Woman ot the Year" by the Lake view Business and Professional Women's Club, and was honored as audi at a tea on Oct. 8 to which all business women in Lakeview were invited. Mrs. Mabel Thornton, president of the BPW Club, reported that 150 women qualified for invita tions to the tea held in the Memorial Hall of the courthouse. The affair also marked the last day of "Business Womens' Week," which is observed nation wide. Like most persons with unsel fish dedication to the good ot the community and her fellow man. Mrs. Arthur was the most surprised person in the communi ty when informed that she had THE Easg-Eatin' pop CQRN fen chosen by her fellow club impmhpr-C TaL-in0 nart in i-U.i. work that can take advantage of her time and ability is just a natural reaction for this 73-year-old woman whose energy and looks belie her years. Eva Arthur is a real Oregon ian and the only member of her family to be born in Lake Coun ty. Her mother, a native of Nottingham. England, with the unusual first name of Plyner, came to America and married Joseph Howard in Philadelphia. They heard of opportunity in the West from some of his family who had come out here. Even though they had four children by 1886, the pioneer spirit pushed them on to Oregon and they set tled on a homestead in Drews Valley. Here, in 1888. Plyner Howard gave birth to her fifth child, unassisted by midwife, doc- tor, or anyone else, and so Eva Howard started life with a fight ing spirit. In 1910 she married Charles D. Arthur, who had come west by wagon train from Joplin, Mo. He had been running sheep on share basis for several years. They lived in Lakeview until 1919 and during these years he oper ated one of the largest livery stables in the state of Oregon, located just north of the build ing until recently occupied by the Ford agency. This building and adjacent lots are still owned by Mrs. Arthur. In the mean time her parents had died and F LAvoe 3' PEOPLE ENJOY 1,000,000 TIMES A DAY I the ranch and stock was left in an estate to the five children, none of whom except Eva wished to live there. So she and her husband gradually bought out the shares and. in 1919, stocked the ranch at Drews Valley with 400 head of yearling steers. He oper ated the ranch and cattle until 1922 w hen he became associated with the Commercial National iBank in Lakeview. However, in 1936 he again went into the cat tle business and the raising of purebred Herefords. He became ill and was taken to San Fran cisco where he died on Aug. 13, 1938. Although alone (the couple had no children i Mrs. Arlitur, un- Idaunted. assumed the manage ment of the ranch and for nine years she rode after ' cattle, helped with branding, bought bulls, measured hay, hired men and cooked for them throughout the year, except during haying time when assistance in the house was necessary. In 1946 when Ward and Park Harris of San Francisco came along with a satisfactory offer for the ranch and stock, she sold out and moved to Lakeview. Life in town is easier but this did not make her lazy. Always interested in politics, she was president of the Lake County chapter of the Republican Coun cil of Oregon Women, a group organized statewide by the late Mrs. George Gerlinger. She is still serving a long term as vice president of the Republican Central Committee for the coun ty. She is a member of the Business and Professional Wo men's Club, Soroptimists. Rebek- ahs. Eastern Star, the county Wel fare Board, and the Lake County Chamber of Commerce, where she serves on the queen selection committee for the Lakeview Roundup, and then acts as chap eron for the girls. Probably her most valiant ef forts are shown in chairmanship of the cancer drive for the coun ty.

Photo by Jones Studio, Lakeview five veais and from an intake of absolutely nothing, collected $1.20 the first year, and now (he annual donations amount lo over $2,000. With a number of willing helpers she has been able to make Lake the first county in (he state over the top in the drive for (our successive years. This money all goes for research. but there are some supplies lo cated here for assistance to needy cases, and Mrs. Arthur's personal help goes along wherever she can offer it. Close contact with many cancer cases has made her al most fanatical in the search for early discovery and fighling of the dread disease, as well the raising of funds for research in the field. She is untiring in making known lo needy persons suffering from cancer that there is help available locaJly, and she proves the point by personal as sistance. Just three members of the Howard family survive. A sis ter, Mrs. Ida Casebeer, a resident of Bonanza, is con fined to a hospital in Klamath Falls, and there is a brother. Frank, in Phoenix, Ariz. Eva At- thur still shows the signs of the pioneer spirit which has built the west, and she is an inter ested spectator in the latest ex odus to the land evidenced by the promotions which are build ing up throughout this area. It is difficult (or her to believe that the price of the land could spiral to such an extent in one lifetime span. An so it can be said that the honor coming to her "Woman ot the Year" could justly be applied to many wor thy years, with a wish from her cohorts of many more to follow. OWC To Vote On Officers SOCI ETY But convincing teen-agers o( that is quite a different matter. However, a recent survey of high school marriages made by a high school vice principal work ing on his master's degree reveals, a startling fact that ought to be impressive to teen-agers them selves. According lo this survey, 74 per cent of Ihe young marrieds ques tioned iaid they do not believe that high school marriages are a good idea . . . although each and every one o( them married before fin ishing high school. Adults can argue, preach, per suade and talk themselves blue in the face without convincing young people that they know what they are talking about. But when almost three-fourths of the young marrieds in a survey are ready to admit that teen-age1 marriage isn't a happy row to hoe teen-agers should be ready to listen. Maybe high schools all over the country ought to make their own surveys to find out what students who marry before they get a diplo- And they should make the best possible ammunition to use in fighting the growing trend toward younger and younger marriages. With that kind of ammunition, high school teachers could say, "This isn't what wc who are old er think about high school mar riage, but what our own students who have married in high school have to say about it."
