Cove Mrs. Rollin Brown Sew-Easiest! tlMi ' . f 10-18 l:T V try 1iriMlflt?H IPaDitpapraiiripfi The society editor saved out a bit of real news for Potpourri this week the new president of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers is a graduate of Medford High school. PTA's top ranking officer for the coming term is Mrs. Rollin Brown, Los Angeles, who when she lived in Medford was Ethel Guthrie. As a girl Mrs. Brown made her home here with her aunt, Mrs. Rose Schieffelin, and with Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Daniels. She was a classmate of Mrs. William Isaacs and of Mrs. Richard D. Werner, as well as several other persons well known in the valley now. Mrs. Brown, who has been a PTA worker for 30 years, de feated Harry Reynolds of Wi nona, Minn., by a vote of 1102 to 188 during the election. He was the first man ever nomi nated for the office. Mrs. Brown had been nominated in advance for the office, and her opponent was a last - minute candidate nominated from the floor of the convention, held in Chicago. Mrs. Brown has been serving the congress as vice-president. The new national president represented the congress at the 10th Pan-American Child Wel fare conference held just prior to the convention and also re cently attended President Eisen hower's committee meeting to plan the 1955 White House con ference on education, in which there is widespread interest. Mrs. Daniels, who often re-, ceives letters from Mrs. Brown, had a note and a sheaf of clip-, pings from Los Angeles papers last week. Because she knew friends here would be interested, and that some would fail to recognize Ethel Guthrie as Mrs. Rollin Brown, she called The Tri bune. After graduating from high school here, she said, Ethel had gone to Los Angeles Normal school and later married Rollin Brown, who has been on the staff of one of the movie companies for many years. The Browns lost both their son and their son-in-law during World War II, and have a daughter. One Los Angeles writer described the new PTA head as a "slim graying woman" and recalled that she has been active in many civic groups in that big city and in 1953 was "Los Angeles Woman of the Year." . Some say that Mrs. Brown looks a lot like Mrs. Qveta Culp Hobby, secretary of the Department of Health, Welfare and Edu cation for this nation. As is to be expected, she is ready and will ing to discuss child welfare and school problers and had this to say in an LA interview: "Getting qualified teachers that's the main problem. It's even more important than getting enough classrooms, although, goodness knows, that's important too. But unless you have a well qualified teacher in every classroom, all the building is a waste of money. Besides salary increases, teachers must be given a hand in policy so they feel they are contributing to progress Mrs. Daniels is hopeful that Mrs. Brown will stop in Medford some time soon to spend a few hours or days with her old friends and relatives. The Moore Hamiltons were surprised last Sunday to read in "Washington Dateline" that their son, Alex, had been to a party. Lillian Porter Say, the Oregon Journal's Washington correspon dent, was writing about the party which the Women s National Press club gave for President and Mrs. Eisenhower, and added that "no one had more fun at the president's party than Alex Hamilton." A former OSC student, Alex received an appointment to work at the capitol from Senator Morse, and is enjoying his stay enor mously. Alex, not much given to letter writing, did remember not long ago to write of the minor excitement caused by what was thought to be a threat to Vice-President Nixon. The young man, running an elevator that day, decided at one point that business was certainly dull no one going or coming, when a group of stern faced men showed up and hustled one of their number out. Later he learned that his part of the building had been temporarily blocked off by police while they laid a trap for the suspect. Mrs. E. B. Hanley gave Potpourri a most enjoyable afternoon last Sunday, showing us her beautiful garden and telling lively anecdotes of her interesting life. Some of these stories she said she'd rather not have in print, but did teli us one about James Roosevelt which she though was so good it should be repeated. Congressman James Roosevelt, a college friend of her son, E. B. Hanley Jr., learned not long ago that there was a rumor going around about him he was supposed to be buying up lots and lots of land thought to have uranium ore. The Republicans who re peated the rumor about Democratic James R. were mortified to find out, so the story goes, that it's brother John Roosevelt, a Re publican Roosevelt, who is interested in uranium.
