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. O.S.
