There’s another holiday today that should be known by most native
Oregonians. The state was granted statehood on February 14, 1859. 

Saint Valentine’s Day, commonly called Valentine’s Day, began as a holiday
observed on February 14 honoring one or more early Christian martyrs named
Saint Valentine. It was first established by Pope Gelasius in 496 AD, and was later deleted from the General Roman Calendar of saints in 1969 by Pope Paul VI. 

Ted Lewis’ version of "Just A Gigolo" was the most popular tune in America. David Lee Roth scored a number 12 hit with the same song 54 years later in 1985.

Family Theater was a radio show which aired on the Mutual Broadcasting System
from February 13, 1947 to September 11, 1957. The show was produced by Family Theater Productions, a film and radio studio extension of the Family Rosary Crusade founded by the Holy Cross Priest, Father Patrick Peyton as a way to promote family prayer.

Even though the show had no commercial sponsor, arrangements for many of 
Hollywood’s stars in film and radio at the time to appear were made. During the
programs ten-year run, stars such as Jimmy Stewart, Bob Hope, Lucille Ball, Jane
Wyatt, Charlton Heston, Bing Crosby, and Jack Benny were heard on the show.
