SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE CPS Figure Reaches New Hight A new national total . of 772 CPS certified professional sec retaries, was announced today by the National Secretaries as sociation (International), through Rogue Valley chapter here. This new high was reached when 190 secretaries throughout the United States passed the recently held fifth annual CPS examina tion One man was among those who passed, bringing the total of . male CPS holders in the country to three. Calling attention to the CPS program's fifth anniversary, the Association, sponsors of CPS, stressed the program's five years of progress and contributions to the business world. Through giv ing secretaryship professional standing, the association reports that CPS is attracting career minded young women back into a field where demand still far exceeds supply. It is also taking the guesswork out of hiring sec retarial personnel, it is said. The businessman fortunate enough to employ a CPS is as sured in advance that she is well- grounded in business principles, experienced and capable of dealing with all kinds of situa tions and people, according to the association. The next CPS' examination will be held May 4 and 5, 1956. Deadline for sending in applica tions is December 15, 1955. In quiries and applications go to The National Secretaries Asso ciation (International), 25 East 12th Street, Kansas City, Mis souri. Opened to qualified secretar ies 25 years of age or over, members or non-members of the National Secretaries association, the 12-hour certifying examina tion is held in colleges and uni versities throughout the coun try. It extends over , two days. Questions run the gamut from O personal adjustment and human relations through business law, economics and business adminis tration, secretarial accounting, stenography, general secretarial and office procedures. To achieve the CPS rating and cer tificate secretaries must pass all parts of the test. The examination, based on ac tual secretarial duties and re sponsibilities, is prepared and supervised by The Institute for Certifying Secretaries. Formed by the association in 1950, the Institute is composed of leading representatives from business, education and the secretarial field. It is headed by a dean, Dr. Ruth Anderson of North Texas State college, Denton, Texas. Oh don't worry about your fact against my jacket.

Mc Arthur's "Oregon Geographic Names." The compiler of this work, considered an authority,' writes that the mountain was called Mount McLoughlin on a map issued as early as 1838 and which accompanied "The Journal of an Explor ing Tour Beyond the Reeky Mountains" by the Rev. Samuel Parker. It was later called Mount Pit, for Pit or Pitt River, which was named for the pits dug by Indians to trap game. Peter Skene Ogden mentioned the name Pit River in his journel, spelling it "Pitts," and Sir George Simpson in his journal refers to Pit Mountain in this locality. T. J. Farnham in "Travels in the Great Western Prairies" (1843) refers to Mount McLaughlin, but according to Author McArthur, Early settlers in the Rogue Snowy Butte and Big Butte, the Kelley tried to have the name John Quincy Adams applied to the mountain, wanting to have a "Presidents Range." The name Mount Pitt came into common use about 1864, the compiler noting that this was thought due to George H. Belden, a civil engineer for the United States. Klamath Indians called the mountain "M'laiksini Yaina," or mountain with steep The name Mount McLoughlin lature in 1905 to honor Dr. John by the USBGN in 1912 through George H. Himes. According "McLaughlin", is wrong. Dr. Hudson's Bay company at Fori Vancouver 1824-46 "Possessed almost autocratic powers in the affairs in the Oregon country up to the time of the provisional government, and has therefore been called the first governor cf Oregon," according to the compiler Mr. McArthur notes that Dr. in 1824-25, and created a form of 3.C00 acres, established a sawmill and a flour mill. "In the development of the fur business, of agri culture and commerce, Dr. McLoughlin displayed rare powers of organization," according to the author. After resigning from the Hudson's Bay company, Dr. McLoughlin, a native of Canada, vhere he was educated as a physician, became an American citizen and carried on a milling and merchandise business at Oregon City. The name McLoughlin will be heard more around the city from now on, since the old junior high school has been given the name with the completion and use of new Hedrick Junior High school. The same book provided information on Sterlingville, the dis trict in which Mrs. Sarah G. Riley was born. Mrs. Riley celebrated her 96th birthday anniversary Thursday, October 6, and Potpourri was pleased to meet this delightful woman that day and be among those who offered congratulations. The section in "Oregon Geographic Names" devoted to Sterling Creek aiW Sterlingville states that the district was named for one James Sterling, presumably a miner, who operated in the area in the '50's. . The author credited Will Steel with giving him the information: There was Sterling Peak, Sterling Creek, Sterling Mine and Sterlingville,. but later the peak became Dutchman Peak. Sterlingville post office, a short distance upstream from the mine, was established April 21. 1879, with George Yandes the first and only postmaster, the author writes. Mrs. Riley, a remarkable woman who still does housework, cans fruit, reads the newspaper and enjoys life much as she did in days gone by, reminisced about early days in the county during the birthday party which her daughters gave for her. She recalled how excited she was when her father, Martin F. Hurst, took her to Roseburg when he once made the trip to deliver bags of wool. "I expect we were three or four days on the road," she said, "for the four-horse team had to walk all the way because of the heavy load." One of Mrs. Riley's most vivid memories is that of a terrible epidemic of smallpox which killed many people in the Jacksonville area when she was a small girl. "When anyone took down with the disease, they just hauled them off to the pesthouse to die," Mrs. Riley recalled. Mrs. Lottie Van Scoy, listening to the story, added that one of her aunts lived in Jacksonville at that time and had helped to nurse her stricken neighbors. "Auntie used to tell us how people walked around her on the street," she said, "because of their horrible fear of catching smallpox." Mrs. Riley said her father and mother,. who had a family of 16 sons and daughters, left Jacksonville for their farm when the epidemic began, and that for weeks no one came to visit because of the epidemic. " Mrs. Riley said she was sorry she never had learned to drive an automobile, and recalled that the EJM.F. Never having heard of such o household, who said it was put out by E. M. Flanders, the use of initials to make up carhames having been popular in early days of the automotive industry. He Olds, who manufactured the first Oldsmobile and later the Reo. Another "initial name" for a car was Krit. , ' , Today's story about Mrs. Riley was largely written by her daughter, Mrs. George B. Holmes, of Eagle Point. Mrs. Holmes said that after the excitement of the birthday party she couldn't sleep, so she rose at 2 a.m. and wrote out the story. Mrs. D. Kirkland West, talking about the problems of Israeli and the Arab states at a Westminster guild meeting Monday night said, "It is called the Promised Land, and no wonder. For cen turies groups and individuals have been "promising" that particu lar part of the world to various tribes or nations." Mrs. Glenn Harrison is a most unusual woman. Mrs. H. brought in a news story and said "Now don't you dare publish this the way I've written it. Fix it up before you put it in the paper." More often the writer says, "Now, this is just like we want it and will you please not change it!" After being in the newspaper game for a few years, repdf ters almost all have the urge to do just that sometime, and then sit back and see what would happen. . Alleys are interesting. Parked momentarily back of Robinson brothers last Thursday we were mightily interested to see a young man walk briskly out the back door, carrying a head. Plaster, it was, with a rather bad gash on the nose. He walked to a large trash bdx and then, instead cf tossing the head in, he arranged it carefully in one corner until it looked very much like it might be attached to a body. With a wide grin, he started to return to the store. "Wish I could be here to see what happens when the first wino" comes upon that tonight," he said cheerfully, and disappeared inside the store. Attached to the story about the new parent-teacher-student group in Eagle Point was a notation which read "Mrs. R. N. Meyer, temporary publicity chairman (I hope)." O.S.
