Mrs. ROWLAND. I saw a few of his report cards and they weren't all A's.
Mr. BELIN. For what years would that have been?
Mrs. ROWLAND. I don't remember. I just saw them.
Mr. BELIN. Mrs. Rowland, I want to get just a little bit more
background information. After you were married, were you employed at
all or not?
Mrs. ROWLAND. I worked for Sanger Harris during the Christmas season
this year, this past year.
Mr. BELIN. Other than that?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Well, I worked for about 3 days for a friend of mine at a
dry goods store.
Mr. BELIN. What about your husband? What jobs has he held since you
were married?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Let's see, he worked at West Foods in Salem,----
Mr. BELIN. Was this after you were married?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Did you go to Oregon after you were married?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Yes. We were married May 16, and we went to Oregon about,
we left the next day, and we got there about the 21st or something like
that. He worked at West Foods in Salem; Exchange Lumber in Salem; Myron
Frank in Salem, and after we moved back down here and----
Mr. BELIN. When did you move back down to Texas?
Mrs. ROWLAND. In September.
Mr. BELIN. Were these jobs that he held of the same type, or did he
work first at one place and then----
Mrs. ROWLAND. One place and then another.
Mr. BELIN. Any particular reason why he changed jobs, that you know of?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Well, the first job was dirty and difficult and he didn't
like it.
Mr. BELIN. What was he doing then?
Mrs. ROWLAND. He was working in a mushroom plant.
Mr. BELIN. As what?
Mrs. ROWLAND. I think he was carrying them out, I don't know exactly
what he was doing with them. Then he worked at Myron Frank which was a
department store.
Mr. BELIN. What did he do there?
Mrs. ROWLAND. He worked as a cook.
Mr. BELIN. Is he a good cook?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Pretty good cook.
Mr. BELIN. Are you better than he is?
Mrs. ROWLAND. I am not a very good cook.
Mr. BELIN. All right.
Mrs. ROWLAND. Anyway, he worked there. It was a temporary job when he
got it, and when the time, when the period was up, he got another job
as a, what do you call it, a shipping clerk at the Exchange Lumber Co.,
and he worked there until a few days before we left.
Mr. BELIN. Then you went back to Dallas sometime in September?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Then what did your husband do?
Mrs. ROWLAND. I don't remember the first job. He worked for Pizza
Inn as a cook and he worked for Civic Reading Club as a telephone
solicitation job, and he worked for P. F. Collier Co., as a salesman,
and then he worked, now he is working for Life Circulation Co. as a
telephone solicitor.
Mr. BELIN. How long did he have these jobs? The first one, how long did
he work there, approximately?
