MEDFORDJtlSfctT RIBUNE MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, MAY 25. 1958 The News Comes In , ' ' ' ' left' 1 - -'4 '$s$gmra Every day the news comes in by wire, by telephone, by mail and "in person." One of the visitors last week was Mrs. Ranald Axtell, Folding Hills ranch. Trail, who brought in a copy of the schedule of Medford Rose society's fourth annual rose show, of which she is chairman, and a bouquet of roses for the Mail Tribune news room staff. The show will be held June 2 at the courthouse. , '1T t-5 Clay M. Lee has been calling at the Tribune office almost every week for several years. Mr. Lee brings stories written by his wife and by himself for various groups. Mrs. Lee has been reporter for Sojourners' club and for Scottish Rite Women's club, and Mr. Lee is reporter for the Scottish Rite Masons. Mrs. Lee has also been named president of the city's newest federated women's club, known as Medford Travel Study club. One of the youngest callers is four-year-old Jan Hedberg, who climbs the stairs almost every week to bring in stories written by his mother, Mrs. Elwood B. Hedberg. Mrs. Hedberg, reporter for Jefferson Parent-Teacher association and Rogue Valley Memorial Hospital auxiliary, is the former Betty Whittle of Ashland and was on the news staff of the Mail Tribune before her marriage. Little Jan, who takes his errands seriously, always heaves a big sigh of relief when the stories are safely delivered. V- -i it Milton A. Loros, who has been reporter for Rogue Valley Hand weavers' guild for the past two years, usually dashes up the stairs or if he is in a big rush, drops his material in the mail slot at the right of the main entrance. Reporter Loros, after being congratulated by fellow members for his faithful service, was chagrined to find that he made a mistake on the hour for the last meeting of his term. The guild, which now has about 30 members from all parts of the valley, elected Mrs. Earl W. Bradfish president during a meeting Tuesday. , 3 fW'OrV - 1 -rW;-ferL fiFrf mmmm&iQ Many use the mails for sending news to the Mail Tribune, and usually three times a day Warren Lovell of the business office brings along an armload from the post office. Here he hands the news room's share to Managing Editor Eric Allen Jr. for its second sorting and distribution. Although much news comes in by telephone, bolh the newspaper and the area's hundreds of organizations find that submitting information in written form is the most satisfactory method for reporting group activities.
