H. Hedrick, Oregon author ess, told guests at the 12th annual Matrix table Friday night. In every civilization there is a crucial time in which man begins to analyze the worth of that civilization and wonder if it is worthwhile. It is at that time that authors should do their utmost to preserve faith in the people. She also urged that young writ ers take their inspiration from America and not copy the defeat ism of Europe as was done in the last war. At a gathering of members of Theta Sigma Phi, national women’s journalism honorary, and Pot and Quill, writing honorary, after the banquet Mrs. Hedrick said that writers do their best work when writing something they know well from their own experience. Her first story was published in the Saturday Evening Post, “after I had completely given up hope.” Mrs. Emma C. McKinney, pub lisher of the Hillsboro Argus, who will celebrate her fortieth anni versary as publisher in April, was presented with a scroll in recog nition of her learning and distinc tion in newspaper work. Mrs. Mc Kinney started her work in journ alism when 17 years old and re turned to this work in 1900 after; the death of her husband. She told the assembled journal- I r ists and women outstanding in creative arts that she envied them for living in an era when women occupied every position. “When I was a girl, the only occupations were dressmaking, clerking and millinery. Now men do some of the millinery.” - She also said that she envied them for their school of journal ism. "When I started I don’t think the word journalism was in my vocabulary. What I learned, I learned the hard way. I learned to set type by hand. I also learned to be pressman and do various other things about the shop, and I even learned to run a linotype.”—which vocation she suggested to young women of today, saying that any one who knew how to type could learn to run a linotype. Marie Rogndahl, popular so prano, sang “Ave Maria,” and “Caro Nome” from Verdi’s opera Rigoletto. She was accompanied by Ruth Baker. --- -. Our Recapping Job Gives Your Tires L-O-N-G-E-R WEAR!
