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.

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.
Some 15,000 jewelers got
their first view of the fabul
ous 8-piece place setting cre
ated by well-known New
York designer Lucien Pic
card. An original design and
the only one of its kind in ex
istence, it is valued at $7,500.
Lucien Piccard is reported
considering presenting " the
palladium place setting" to the
Smithsonian Institution.
A second dazzling feature
shown by Lucien Piccard was
a quarter - million dollar pal
ladium jewelry ensemble
mounted with baguette, mar

ways replies, "Well, I make $16 a column, but of course, I
have to pay my own expenses."
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." O.S.
