Phone SP 2-5238 J A SrSfUW CAMERAS PHOTOGRAPHS 120 East Main St. Portland-It's a good thing conventions last only a short time-about three or four days is all we could take. Yester day, Thursday, we sat through some seven or eight speeches and ate our way through four meals. The eating plus the sitting would ruin both the editorial disposition and figure in a very short time." When this is over we're going to write a minority report on conventions. Yesterday Merl H. Payne of Arcoa, Inc. (U-Haul) sat next to us for a brunch and he agreed with Potpourri that conventions could be streamlined consider ably. The president of his firm, L. S. Shoen, avoids conven tions like the plague and refers to them as "circuses." Mr. Shoen is the Portland man who, as a veteran fresh out of the service after World War II, had a bright idea about the need for cheap hauling and came up with the trailer-rental idea which he has worked into a transcontinental business. Young Merle Payne's parents, the senior Merl Paynes, live in Medford and he is a nephew of 'Janie Smith avho re tired not long ago from the Rogue River national forest office of the U.S. Forest service. He wanted to know if his aunt was keeping busy and we said that knowing Janie from long ago, we'dbet she isn't idle, even though retired. ' In the course of a talk yesterday afternoon about the pioneering spirit in journalism, Robert Letts Jones of Cop ley Press quoted Emerson about the value of the non-con formist. Looking around the room, it wasn't hard to believe that at least some of the women are rugged individualists, if not downright "characters." ' Jones also quoted a number of America's outstanding women writers-Alicia Patterson, Oveta Culp Hobby, Hedda Hopper, Abigail (Dear Abby) Van Buren, Ilene Jackson and Sylvia Porter on their ideas about what qualities go to make a good newspaper ' woman. Almost every one said "the same qualities that make a good newspapermen." They listed a good libera' education, intellectual curiosity and honesty, a sense of humor, a "sixth sense" about news and people, good health, boundless energy and determina tion. One said "women need to be just a little bit better than men in comparable positions" and one said women succeed ed because "they are not as lazy as wen," -.. On the other hand, Donald J, Sterling, assistant city edi tor of The Oregon Journal, says that the only reason women get ahead in the newpaper1 world in England is because of rigid seniority rules. Young Sterling spent several months in Great Britain under a grant from .the English Speaking Union and has some mighty interesting things to say about the British press. The 'British people are avid readers, "and while there is only one U.S. newspaper with a circulation of more than a million, there are seven in Great Britain, he said. Two have a circulation each of more than four million copies. He de scribed the famous Sunday papers in that countryr-which are published on Sunday only, as made up of "sex and sports" and said that with the exception of the London Times, the best British papers are those published in the outlying districts and not in the big cities. Salaries are about half what they are in the United States, and the equipment of most of the smaller dailies is worse than that of the dustiest little weekly in America, according to the Portland man. He described the Times as a "stately" paper and said its editor is known throughout the islands merely as "The Edi tor." It to6k the visitor three weeks to get. an appointment with "The Editor" and when he asked him what the objec tives of The Times were he said they were three-"to pro vide a journal of what goes on in the world, to be of assist ance to those who are running the country, and to provide interesting reading material for intellectuals." He said The "Times works very hard at telling its read ers what goes on in' America and aiding them to understand news from this country. The important London daily has maintained six correspondents in this country for years and in recent months added another-in Little Rock, Ark. This reporter has never seen a copy of The Times, but we do read the Manchester Guardian, and could hardly be lieve our ears when he said the Guardian had a, "sloppy physical plant" including only two telephones-and these never ring. When the Portland visitor inquired about this, goggle-eyed, he was told "if people want to tell us anything, they write a letter." ' The Portland author Stewart Holbrook made consider able of a hit with the NFPW gals when he spoke for a din ner Thursday night. He brought his first roar from the as semblage when, after being introduced by Kay Larson, he looked at his watch, swore into the microphone and said "it's too late to start marking a speech now!" Mr. H. did speak briefly, though, and among other things described his famous "Dear Sir" or "Dear Madam" letter which he maintained he sends out to everyone who writes him indignant letters. The letters always read "You may be right, at that." Furthermore, Holbrook says some of his indignant writers of letters later turn into friendly pen pals. This widely known author insists that scores of people ask him "What do you make in a year, anyway?" Mr. H. al- Being a Guest ! Described as Art I By DON LOPER Never accept an invitation to a party unless you plan to attend it with the thought that a wonderful evening lies ahead, and that you'll do ev erything in your power to" help make it a success. There's an art : to being a good guest, both at your own parties and those given by your friends. Once you un derstand the secret of plan ning a good social event, all other things will fall in place. Work at being a good guest. Don't expect to be constantly entertained. Circulate. Intro duce yourself to people you haven't met, especially if the hostess is busy at that mo1 ment with other chores. Don't be a wallflower. Keep, in mind that most people are worried about meeting new acquaintances at a gathering. Be an assistant to the hostess, not a drag. N Start Conversation If the party should happen to consist primarily of people you . hadn t known before, don't sit there glaring uncom fortably at each other. Draw strangers out Ask them ques tions about themselves, and start the conversational ball rolling. Ask your hostess how you can help. Give her a hand if she needs help in the kitchen, and invite some of the young men to pass out the sandwich es and the cokes. They'll en joy having something to do. Help clean up after every thing has been devoured. jjon't criticize 11 you were served hot dogs when you ex pected fried chicken. The prime purpose of a party is definitely not to fill your stomach. Make yourself have a good time, and before the evening is over, that is exact ly what will happen. 4 New York - (LTD - On trips to the beach with baby, don't forget to apply protective sun lotion to the infant's ears. They burn readily. Some cot ton swabs borrowed from the medicine cabinet can be used to coat the tiny crevices. Normal Heart Murmurs Chicago - (LTD - In a sound proofed room, 71 normal adults were given a stetho scopic examination. All had murmurs.

Jeweled Place Setting Displayed New York - The world's most expensive dinner place setting, fashioned of the white precious metal palladium and set with precious gems, was one of the major attractions for the nation's jewelers at tending the annual trade ex position here this week of the Retail Jewelers of America.

Mr. Holbrook shared the limelight with Mrs. Emma McKinney of the Hillsboro Argus, who was awarded the 1959 NFPW Women of Achievement award. Mrs. McKinney, who is 87 years old, is still working part of every day help ing her son and grandson to put out the Argus. Mrs. McKin ney has been an active newspaper woman for more than 55 years and is universally liked and respected. The speaker also shared the limelight with Rabbi' Joseph Nodel, who gave the invocation.- So unusual was this state ment, that Potpourri pursued the rabbi from the room and asked him to have his secretary mail us a copy. When it comes, it will be a part of a column. " Stewart H. seems to get away with one idea that ho one else can. He ended his talk by telling the women " from other parts of the United States that he was delighted that they were visitors here and that they liked Oregon. Then he said "But there is only so much room in Oregon. Go back home and stay there."
