This group traveled by plane from New York to LeHavre, France, and from there by bus or train through France, Switzerland, into Italy as far south as Rome, then north along the Italian and French Riveria and to England and back to the United States. Members of the party were in most cases billeted with families, thereby having the opportunity of really becoming acquainted with the people and observing their customs and attitude toward Americans. The slides show« included pictures of the group ready for take off by plane, aboard ship, lovely landscapes, people dressed in their native costumes and interiors and ex teriors of historic buildings, while Mrs. Hamilton commented on the various phases of the tour and interesting incidents, all of which provided delightful entertain ment for the members of Chapter BS.

Corner Rose and Bridge Spark is Versatile! The SPARK OIL BURNING HEATER burns not one, not two, but four grades of fuel oil. That is un usual in oil heaters, most of which burn efficiently only one or two grades. Spark burns: No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and motor diesel oil. Unusual as this versatility is, Spark does what is fully as important — it burns all of these fuels CLEANLY, EFFICIENTLY. Last winter, using common motor diesel oil, Spark oil heaters kept thousands of homes throughout the nation warm and comfortable.

Heaviest Work of Legislature Still To Come; Mid-April Finish Predicted BY ROBERT KLEMSEN State Rrepreientaiive STATE HOUSE, Salem—When I read a detective story serialized in a magazine, I don't like to miss the opening chapters. I guess I’m asking you to miss some chapters by starting this news letter from the legislature in the middle of the session. But there is still time to report the most important part of the Salem story. The heaviest work of th? legislature is still ahead of us. We have been at work for eight weeks, and I predict that we will not finish our job until mid-April. I appreciate the opportunity to make this weekly report to the readers of The Vernonia Eagle and my warmest thanks go to the editor for making this space available for news and comment from Salem. One of the toughest problems we face as legislators is the prob lem of keeping in touch with our home counties. Some of us get horn? for a few hours on wee« ends, and others can’t go home at all. I don’t feel that I’ve done a good job of reporting to the people who sent me to the legis lature, but I hope to improve the situation by writing this column. This weekly report shouldn’t be a one-way street. I hope it will become a genuine exchange of information by encouraging your questions and comments. As you know, every bill is as signed to a committee. Mem bers of the committee must study it carefully and often amend it before recommending to the legislature whether it should be passed or defeated. Speaker of ' the House John Steelhammer has appointed’ me Attendance at 54th Anniversary Intended Th? Neighbors of Woodcraft monthly meeting was held in the Legion hall March 1 with nine members present. The next meeting will be a social on the night of March 15. The Circle members plan to go to the 54th anniversary of the Neighbors of Woodcraft in Port land March 30. Delicious refreshments were served by Mrs. • George John son and a social hour was enjoyed. to the committees on aviation and commerce, fishing industries and medical affairs. All bills relat ing to these subjects are assigned to my committees. Senator Manley Wilson and I have been working hard to find a satisfactory solution to Co lumbia county's two serious highway problems—the develop ment of Highway 30 and the Longview Bridge tax controver sy. Highway 30 should be a first- class artery—for defense, for com mercial hauling, for tourist trav el and for the people of Colum bia and Clatsop counties. Sena tor Wilson and I are missing no opportunity to call this fact to the legislature’s attention. We believe the Highway Com mission is dead wrong in plan ning vast, expensive highway de velopments which include no improvement of the Columbia River route. The $60,000 million highway bond bill has} not yet come be fore the House. But I can assure you it will not have my vote un less it includes* specific plans for Highway 30. The Longview Bridge problem is just as critical, especially to school districts in the Rainier area. The State of Washington owes more than $87,000 in delin quent taxes to these districts. The county’s three-year tax bill on the bridge, not including interest, is more than $27,000. To date we have reached no satisfactory settlement. Wash ington’s best offer is to pay about $60,000 of the tax. In return, our county and school districts would have to relinquish all rights to tax the bridge in future years. It’s beginning to look as if this session will go down in history as the Oleo Legislature. I’m sorry that a majority of my fel low members of the House did not vote their convictions and end the senseless ban on colored oleomargarine. Now we’ve had a lot of fuss and feathers and a new bill has been introduced to save the faces of those who voted against the Neuberger bill. The new bill provides different shades of yellow for butter and oleo. Next week I’ll have time and space to talk more about legisla tion of general statewide interest. THURSDAY, MAR. 8, 1951 3 12th Anniversary Date Celebrated Friday Night RIVERVIEW — Mr. and Mrs G. E.
