Holmes Says He
May Enter Public
Relations Field
Salem -(CPD-Gov. Robert D.
Holmes told a meeting of the
Oregon Association of Broad
casters here Friday that he
hopes to go back into a field
"relating to broadcasting"
when his term is over next
January.
The governor mentioned
the possibility of a public re
lations job in the Portland
area, although his plans are
Indefinite.
Radio broadcasters were
gathered for their semi-annual
business meeting featur
ing a reception for members
of the 1959 legislature.
The governor, himself a
former radio man from As
toria, reviewed the "rewards
and heartaches" of his less
than two years in office and
said if he had his major de
cisions to make again, he
would do things exactly the
same way.
Greatest Reward
He said his greatest reward
as governor was getting to
know the people and the
great economic potential of
Oregon.
The eovernor urged broad
casters to take a more active
role not only in reporting but
"forming the political ca
mate" and aiding the ecen
omic development of the
state.
"You've eot to take sides
whether you're right or
wrong," he said.
Reporting of his adminis
tration by all media has been
better than in the past, but
"there is still a long way to
go" in informing the public
of what its state government
Is doing. Gov. Holmes saia.
The broadcasters elected
Gordon Capps of radio sta
tion KSRV, Ontario, as secretary-treasurer
of their or
ganization succeeding C- S.
Shuled, KERG, Eugene, who
is leaving the broadcasting
field.
The group is also looking
for a new general manager to
replace Jim Frost, who will
start teaching full time at the
University of Oregon next
year.
Next meeting of the OAB
will be at Eugene April 3-4.

Two Simple
Designs Have
Diamond quilting and rib
bing are two of ' the simplest
designs possible to find in
glassware, and since some of
the pieces on which they are
found have a value almost
astronomical it is well to know
them.
Diamond quilting is noth
ing other than crisscrossed
lines that leave plain diamond
shapes between. Ribbing is
merely a series of straight
parallel lines in the glass leav
ing a plain space between.
In other, words, diamond
quilting and ribbing are the
most elemental geometric de
signs. Because of that, they
are not especially attractive
and hence are not used so
very much now or for many
years.
Nonetheless, if you come
across glassware that has it,
give serious attention to buy
ing it.
Two pieces I saw recently
will serve to illustrate its
value. One was a celery vase.
Two inches down from the
slightly flared lip there was
a three-inch wide band of dia
NEW COUNTRIES CREATE
The creation of new coun
tries, such as the new repub
lic which French Guinea
voted to become in a recent
election ordered by de Gaulle,
is apparently creating a new
trend in stamp collecting.
At least, one stamp dealer.
friend of mine thinks so -thanks
, to his discovery that
within a week after the elec
tion he had sold out all his
more valuable French Guinea
stamps.
He had had four of the
most valuable - a five-franc,
green and yellow - green col
ored item carrying the pic
ture of a native shepherd.
They are priced at $15 in
Scott s catalogue. But since
French Guinea stamps had
been slow moving he had
had the four for over two
years - he had priced them
at $10 each
"I didn't notice they were
selling," he said, "until a cus
tomer asked for one and I
found they were all gone.
Now I'll have to start buying
them."
COIN ENCLOSED IN GLASS
Every once in a while some
one comes across a paper
weight or other piece of glass
that contains an old coin, but
if you ever do, remember the
coin is worth much more in
the glass than out of it.
. An enthusiastic coin collec
tor found a paperweight re
cently that contained a 1796
quarter eagle, one of the first
$2.50 gold pieces the country
produced. The coin was in
fine condition even after he
had removed it by means of
a single blow with a hammer.
There are two kinds of 1796
quarter eagles. One has 16
stars on the face; eight on
either side of the word LIB
ERTY which lies abow the
female head that forms the
coin's chief design feature.
The date appears below the
head. The other doesn t have
the stars, and though it is the
better looking of the two, it
is the less valuable - worth
only $200 to $250 as against
$300 or more.
The kind the coin collector
had broken out of its glass

mond quilting. The rest of
the way down the vase, which
tapered to a blunt cone-shape
.resting on a three-inch circu
lar base, it had vertical rib
bing.
The piece was in clear
glass. The workmanship was
rather crude. Its origin was
unknown except that it was
probably a product of the
1850s. But the price on it was
$275, and a collector I knew
was giving serious thought to
buying it.
The other piece was a bar
rel-shaped tumbler. This, too,
had a plain lip and a band of
diamond quilting, but about
one inch wide. That was fol
lowed by two bands of rib
bing, but each band was on
the diagonal, the upper band
pointing to the upper right,
the lower to the upper left.
The tumbler, that may have
been roduced by the same
firm as the celery vase, had
already been bought by the
collector. He had paid $35
for it and felt he had made a
good buy.
NEW TRENDS IN STAMPS
As to the nature of the new
trend, he thinks it is a con
centration, particularly by
young collectors, on collecting
only the stamps of new coun
tries. They find it easier to
acquire a. complete collection
of a new country's stamps be
cause they can buy them as
they come out.
Further, the trend seems
to be even more marked in
the case of those countries
with only a short colonial his
tory such as French Guinea
It would cost a small fortune
to collect the stamps of the
Union of South Africa, for
example, because of the rarety
of South African stamps un
der a colonial administration.
In contrast, except for the
five-franc French Guinea item
mentioned above, that was put
out in 1904, one could prob
ably get a complete collection
of its colonial issues for a
total of $100. And that, of
course, would be an excellent
foundation on which to build
a collection of the new re
public's stamps.
SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED
shell was the former. He was
delighted with it, of course.
'He had paid $100 for the junk
in which he found it.
But he was most unhappy
when he took it to a dealer
who had agreed to buy it. The
dealer was still willing to
take it, but not for $200 which
he had formerly offered. All
he would then give was $125.
The dealer had sense. At
$125 he could sell it at a satis
factory margin of profit. And
if it had been in the glass he
could have still sold it at a
satisfactory profit even
though he paid $200. In fact,
he would probably have made
relatively more.
The reason is that the glass
in which the gold piece is en
closed has a value that is at
least as great as that of the
coin, and in a great many
cases far more so. Some
paperweights, for example,
have brought $1,000 or more,
and without containing the
added value of a rare coin.

Christmas Seals Being
Sent to Area Residents
Christmas Seal letters will
be mailed to residents of
Jackson county this week end
by the Jackson County Tuber
culosis and Health association.
The Christmas Seal letters
make up the annual campaign
to raise funds to carry out
work against tuberculosis, as
sociation officials have point
ed out.
Officials said the fight
against tuberculosis still con
tinues, despite the opinion of
many people. Dr. A. Erin
Merkel,' county health officer,
reported that up to Nov. 1 this
year there have been 22 cases
in the county. '
Of the 22 cases reported
here, one was a barber, one a
waitress, five were house
wives and mothers, two stu
dents (16 and 11 years old),
five veterans, three laborers,
one merchant, and one busi
nessman. Fewer Deaths
There were fewer deaths
during the year, but almost
as many cases of tuberculosis
were reported as in an aver
age year, officials pointed out.
Use of newer drugs and surg
ery shorten the hospital stay
and have resulted in closing
one tuberculosis hospital in
the state, they noted.
Tuberculosis patients must
continue under medical sup
ervision for many months
after they, are discharged
from hospitals, association
representatives noted.
Officials said the emphasis
in 1958 has been on Tesearch,
and of the 38 projects receiv
