Today we have the first mow-
fall of the winter. I have teen

warned, "wait for March." Two
inches of snow snarls traffic
more here than II Inches that
we can occasionally let at home.
My bus was 45 minutes late this
momlnf but fortunately I al
low myself SO minutes leeway
and thus wasn't too late at the
office. As I walked In. a Sa

spite ot tne weather, free ted me

hackle. He la enroute to New
York and was surprised to find
he could Join other Salem people
at lunch with the Secretary of
tne Interior Clay Cochran,
Area Mettger and ueorre
Rhotan, from Salem, Deaa W. A.
Sehoenfeld, Corvalllj, Stuart
Molr, with the forest industries
in Portland, and Larry Smyth,
all of whom had a good chat
around the luncheon table with
Mr. McKay. Luncheon engage
ments in the private dining
room not only conserve time by
permitting noon-time appoint
ments but afford an excellent
chance for conferences as there
are no telephones to interrupt
and tne feminine secretaries re
train from relaying "messages
to Garcia" to the Secretary dur
lng the Interval
Another luncheon group for
which secretary and Mrs. Mc
Kay were hosts was for the
members of the Oregon Con
gressional delegation last Frl
day. Senator Cordon was ill
with the flu and the Morses
were out of the city, but the
others were there, including
Mrs. ' Cordon, the Harris Ells
worths, the Walter Norblads
the Homer D. Angells, and Sam
Coons. The - arrival of Major
General and Mrs. Thomas E. Kl
lea the day before made it pos
sible for them to be Included,
and the Vie MacKensies and I
completed the group. A center
piece of yellow Jonquils, blue
irises and pussywillows looked
like a touch of Oregon, and, by
coincidence, the yellow and
green table mats were matched
by Mrs. McKay's green suit and
hat and Helen Rllea's yellow
dress of the exact shade. The
gold-banded china with the gold
seal of the department on it al
ways adds to the elegance of the
table. Following the luncheon,
the group adjourned to the of
fice of Mr. McKay, where the
Oregon Distinguished Service
award was presented to the
Secretary by the Adjutant Gen
eral. Lt, Col. William Hash
Adams, Salem, read the citation
with members of the press and
photographers looking on, as
General Bllea placed the ribbon-suspended
decoration
around Mr. McKay's neck.
Mrs. Adams was an interested
spectator, Just as she has been
at other Washington events
since this is her first visit to the
national capital. The Rlleas and
Adamses were at Green Briar
hotel for the national meeting
of the Adjutant Generals Assoc
iation before coming to wash
lngton and were delighted with
the fine meeting and perfect
surroundings of the famous hos
telry.

Even though I missed my
first Oregon press conference in
years last week, I had the thrill
of receiving in one large enve
lope notes from' 73 of the good
friends who gathered In Eugene
for the annual event How won
derful they were to remember
me and to realize that I was
there in spirit with them. ' Sev
eral mentioned what a fine Job
Governor Paul L. Patterson had
done in his first appearance be
fore them as banquet speaker.
Speaking of press meetings,
Secretary McKay made a great
hit at the National Press Club
luncheon last week, when he
had questions tossed at him by
the experts among the newspa
permen and columnists back
here. He received a tremen
dous ovation old timers said
the best "in the memory of man"
and his ears should still be
burning from the compliments
that the rest of us have heard
passed around about his handl
ing of the assignment When
one considers that he made an
appearance at the Senate tide-
lands hearing, the House Judic
iary tldelands hearing, the Ha
waiian statehood hearing, an ap
propriations committee hearing
(and that's no cinch, whether
it's Oregon's legislative ways
and means or a . Congress ap
propriation hearing) the same
week as the press luncheon, and
that questions were fired at him
on all occasions, one can get
little understanding of the rug
ged existence he is leading. In
addition, he has been Interview
ed on the Bob Consldine, the Bill
Henry, the David Garroway, and
the State of the Nation television
programs within the same per
iod. Small wonder he longs for
Neskowln's peace and quiet at
times! Time, U. S. Business
Week, and Parade Magazine
have all telephoned for appolnt
menta for photographs which,
coupled with Life's recent cov
erage, Is bringing further atten
tion to the Interior Department
As a personal note, may I add
that the beautiful leather brief
case that the State Employees
Association members gave me is
getting a real workout back
here. I think of the pleasant
associations with them every
