Working through the Shell Mo tor company's fair setup Mrs. Ben son was successful in distributing 25.000 pieces of northwest publi city to tourists interested in this district.

Should Roach Out "The northwest should have tra vel bureaus In Chicago, in New York and in Miami, Florida." she opined. "People are interested in our district but their ignorance of it Is marked. I found persons very appreciative of the data I handed them and in the answers made to the questions they asked. Mrs. BenBon said her greatest handicap at the fair was difficulty in obtaining adequate publicity - material from the northwest. For tunately the state highway com mission put out a booklet "Scenic Oregon" which was used the last two months, she was at the fair.
