Some Notations . . .
This department is going to
miss the weekly visits with Mrs.
Douglas McKay, wife of Ore
gon's governor, who will be leav
ing the capital soon with the gov
ernor when he takes his new job
as secretary of the interior . . .
Come next month it will seem
the weekly schedule of calls is
off balance because we will not
be calling the familiar 37198 . . .
If any group is in position to
evaluate people it Is the working
press who meet and talk with
them constantly . . . And to this
nna iinimnnptnnl mftmhor nf 1h(
fourth estate, Mrs. McKay is tops I wjh her interest in her hus

to Oregon Mrs. McKay looks

Wayne Hadley (Shirley McKay);
and Danny Green, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Lester D. Green (Mary
lou McKay) . . .
And with Mrs. McKay's de
parture for the east, the capital
loses its champion angel cake
baker for a time at least . . .
Very few parties there have been
at the McKay home that the fa
mous angel food has not been
served, in fact guests, practically
demanding it . . .
The McKays definitely are not
giving up their home here, they
are just leaving it for a while .
to work with . . . Never too busy
to take our call, always friendly
and gracious, she has ever been
conscientious to make sure we
got our news, completely and on
time .. . . But she has been more
than just a voice over the tele
phone . . . Always she has time
to chat about our own doings
and interests as well as to give
us inadvertently little choice
notes about her family and her
schedule as she chats along
. . . Always, she is a person and
individual, first; and in the pub
lic eye secondly, in other words
she always has been just herself
with no extra front just because
she has been the state's First
Lady . . .
Mrs. McKay regretfully leaves
her home to go to the national
capital, her home and her fam
ily always meaning so much . . .
But duty comes first with Mrs.
McKay . . . She promises she
will be back frequently, after
all five young grandchildren are
a very fine excuse to get "home'!
as often as possible . . . Both the
McKays' daughters and fami
lies have lived close by , . . The
five grandchildren are Eileen,
Allan, Bruce and Nancy Had
ley, children of Mr. and Mrs.
planned. The items are to be due
at the next meeting of the group,
December 5, at the home of Mrs.
Ben Randall, 1875 West Nob
Hill. Mrs. Glenn Prather, presi
dent, and Mrs. Randall are
charge of this meeting.

forward to the stay in Washing
ton . . .
The possibility that State Sen
ator Paul L. Patterson will come
to Salem as governor when
Governor Douglas McKay goes
to Washington as the new sec
retary of the interior is watched
with keen interest in the state
capital where Senator and Mrs.
Patterson have many friends.
Through his years of service
in the legislature and through
activities of both in civic and
public life, both the Pattersons
are well known here.
Mrs. Patterson is the former
Georgia Benson, daughter of the
Amos S. Bensons and grand
daughter of Oregon's noted phil
anthropist, Simon Benson.
And should Senator Patterson
become governor, the board of
control would take on a bit of
all in the family" tone the new
state treasurer to take office in
January, Sigfrid Benson Unan
der, is a cousin of Mrs. Patterson.
A graduate of University of
Oregon, where she is a member
of Gamma Phi Beta sorority,
Mrs. Patterson is known for her
friendliness and interest in peo
ple, and for capable leadership.
In the university she was prom;
inent throughout her four years
there and climaxed her activities
by serving as president of the
Associated Women Students.
Married in 1927, the Patter
sons have made their home in
Hillsboro ever since. There are
three children in the family,
Mrs. John Smithson (Patricia
Patterson) of Portland; Paul
Patterson, Jr., now in the army
stationed at Camp Roberts,
Calif.; and Miss Virginia Pat
terson, known as Jinks, now a
sophomore at Stanford. Then
there are two grandchildren,!
Kristi, the five-year old daugh
ter of the Smithsons, and Paul
ratterson III, son of the Paul
Pattersons, Jr.
In addition to her home and
family and many civic duties in
Hillsboro, Mrs. Patterson has
been active in several state in
terests. For several years she has
been on the state board of edu
cation. She also has served on the
state boards of the American
Association of University
Women, the Parent-Teachers as
sociation and the American Le
gion auxiliary.
The Pattersons are not much
for the extensive social life, en
tertaining informally always but
graciously, their parties being the
Kina wnere everyone has a real
good time.
The schedule a governor's
wife has to keep up may be de
cidedly different from her way
of life, but those knowing Mrs.
Patterson know she can take it
in stride and come through with
flying colors.
