Bitten KeririCT-Omra Lulu Y.Kent of Creswell Recalls Highlights of Writing Career By LULU Y. KENT CRESWELL Twenty-one years beo "come November" I moved into Creswell lrom a ranch south I of town and helped care ior "Y iH my father, the late Henry Yeo- , j man, who passed ' .'"1 41 St.V"S,? My neighbor, Mrs. Gertrude Olson, was cor respondent for the Eugene Guard and asked me to take over her work while she was under treatment at the hospital. Well now, a good Republican aa I claim to be, not having done any such work, wondered what on earth I would do for a Democrat paper, but as a favor I started in. Mrs. Olson passed away that Lulu Y.

The late C. H. Sedgwick, mayor and attorney of Creswell, was writing for the Eugene Register. When the Guard bought out the Register I was retained as correspondent-Well I naa taught school just long enough to know If I meant to make a success of my job I must know more about it, so I took a correspondence course for rural correspondents from Ore- gon State College and attended several classes of Dr. Turnbull at the University of Oregon. I have received words of commendation, which means much to anyone trying to do one's best, but more often criticism. I wrote too much church news, one party said, but I told him the churches were the only ones whu were doing anything then and that shut him up. Others said I wrote only about certain inaivia uals and passed others up. One party whom I considered a friend of long standing said she gave me news but doubted if I would use it for I was from another church group. That all seemed so silly to me for I have lived here 38 years and have worked wltn all groups. Of course I "caught it" when the news was cut down or omit- aale at the school house. Donations of anything will be welcomed, and there will be someone at the school house from noon on through the day to receive; or call Mrs. Florence Montgomery, Mrs. W. T. Moss, Mrs. Esther Nichols, Mrs Verna Lake, Roy Christian or Laurence Larsen and someone will come and get them. Ice cream, pop, wieners, ham burgers. Pie, cake, popcorn and eoffee will be sold.

Write today Jar dettih. take into consideration the short age of paper or other materials. I have spent hours running down stories, sometimes way into the night, accidents on the highways, fires, weddings, deaths. Folks have been most generous with their news and although some may have hinted they did not care to see their names in print they would have died had I left them out. The most difficult time I had In writing news was during the war. Every other home was involved through the enlisting and draft ing of our young people. It seemed howevei, to create a closer bond in the community and each was as anxious as the other for news from those in service. Creswell was so fortunate In losing so few but there were many anxious weeks when some of our boys were prisoners of war. I was honored in 1940 when the Register-Guard remodeled i t s offices by having my story and photograph with several promi nent citizens of Creswell on a spe cial edition of the paper. There were only 80 correspondents then and Creswell was rated with sev' eral much larger places. I regret giving up my work but I find that years do something to one. However, I am still Interested in everything going on and news will be passed on to our new correspondent, Mrs. Norman Skaggs. Again many thanks for all of the favors.
