Chtrrians, wag asked for 10 men to escort 10 lovely lasses at Ore gon De.Molay Ball at Scottish Rite Temple where one was to be picked as Sweetheart of De Molay.

He kidded his own profession considerably, especially in regards to newspaper typographical errors and their equivalent, the radio news "fluffs. Discussion of peo ple getting calloused to disaster led to mention of heavy traffic fatality rate and. comment, "Any airplane can tell you the most dangerous part of any trip is the drive to the airport. On children: When we were young they used the razor strap on us. Nowadays they take them to a psychiatrist.

The newcaster reminisced on how he came to Bend from Canada on a tip, worked there a few months and then moved to Port land. Afler several years there at different stations, what he called one of the best things that ever happened to him occurred he was fired for being late to work one evening. "In those depression days, losing a job was about like losing your right arm," he said. He took off for Los Angeles on a job tip that didn't pan out, ran Into a friend who told him of an audition for a two man news job, tried for It and got it. That was the show that later developed into his present news show. He was introduced again at Sat urday night banquet. Was asked to say a few words. Used only seven, "When I say coffee, 1 mean Folger's."
