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.

'Lucky' Social
At Noti Friday
NOTI Plans are all made to
make Friday, the 13th, a very
liickv dav for all those attending
the Parent-Teacher Assn. auction ted entirely and the folks did not
year and I continued to gather
news.
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.

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.
