10 A SSI!! MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1960 Those who campaign for office must be made of sterner aiuu man the woman's editor of The Mail Tribune. We spent Saturday, Sunday and Monday and the early morning nours oi xuesctay, in a Jaunt north. The hours of traveling, meetings, of lunching and dining, of hurrying hither and yon and sleeping in strange quarters must have been a lesser vision of what a campaigner undergoes with the exception that we didn't make any speeches, we just listened io omers. we withstood the long week end in fair shape, but how anyone can- survive weeks, and even months, of such a me remains a mystery to this reporter. Everyone at the Oregon Press Women's conference was grateful for the fair weather, but wishing the forecasters up and down the coast had predicted the heat wave, instead of rain they promised. Almost everyone arrived wearing wool suits, carrying top coats or rain coats, and a few even had umbrellas. Saturday was bright and warm, and Sunday brighter and warmerl Portland women, close to their ward robes, turned up for breakfast at the Mallory hotel Sunday morning in cotton dresses and silk suits; later in the flay we saw scores of men and women wearing shorts, young people stretched out on lawns and patios for sun baths, motorists were rolling along the boulevards in cars with the tops down, and we even saw one hardy soul wading in the river. Evervone was outdoors luxuriating in the warm sun, the blue skv and eniovine the added dividend of the yellow, gold and red of the fall foliage. We keep saying this, but feel somehow we must repeat it Oregon is a beautiful state and we're glad to call it home. Of course, there had to be one fly in the ointment. As Potpourri and her hostess, Beth Ryan of Oswego, roamed the highways and byways of Muunoman ana oiacKamas counties Sunday afternoon, we both vocalized bitterly about the litteibugs. Along the park paths, the lakeshores and the streamsides, one could have picked up a irucmoaa oi Domes, cartons, used napkins, cigarette packages and other garbage. Seeing a couple of bottles cast away under a shrub, Mrs. Ryan burst out with "I'll bet if anyone from this country ever reaches the moon, he'll scatter beer bottles all over the place." I p Of course, many areas are kept clean and orderly. ' Mrs. Ryan, luckily, is -a flower lover too so she took ; Potpourri to visit a fuchsia farm, the rose garden at Lewis and Clark college, and we drove briefly around the campus at Marylhurst college. It was the first time we had visited either school, and found both beautiful and interesting. In spite of the late ness of the season, there were some roses In bloom, and on the Marylhurst campus we especially enjoyed the long ave nue of birch trees leading to the well-kept lawns and flower beds which surround the halls. At least college grounds are free from litter. . Calendar As for the conference, one of the most interesting of the speeches was made by a young psychologist who lived in Phoenix as a boy. Thomas Sloan, whose parents are the D. R. Sloans of Calhoun road, talked on "The Human Factor In .Communications" and then presided over a lively question and answer period. The young man, personnel projects specialist for Tektronix, a large industry employing thou sands of persons, said that the problem of communications between individuals or groups is one of the most complex of any facing business, institutions and nations. "Most human problems are communication centered," was one of his state ments. In other words, the matter of "getting across" an idea, or a need, is at the basis of most problems, and offers their solution. In the course of the question period young Mr. Sloan nnira nf .nrvRv mnde bv the Consolidated Freight com pany to find out why some truck drivers are more accident prone than others. The survey showed that the drivers with the high safety record were for the most part those with the highest IQ, and that they had one trait in common they were known for their courtesy. The drivers with the poor safety records were those lacking in common courtesy, were chronic worriers and mal-adjusted. We always knew that for many northwest Oregonlans, the rest of the state is some sort of vague, far-off hinterland little known or little heeded. But we did think "The Ore gonlan," esteemed daily newspaper, had Jackson county in focus This thought was dashed, however, by an Item In that paper about the Oregon Press Women s conference. "Women from all over Oregon are in attendance at the conference," the item read, "some from as far awaas Med ford " Maybe the reporter' doesn't even know all the cities of Oregonl for Ashland, poor little city, is even further from that holy of holies, Portland, and didn't even Tate a mention In the Oregonian. If the writer had realized how far Ashland is from Portland, possibly an Interview could have been ar ranaed with Mrs. Faith McCullough, who represented that city, to ascertain Just how she had managed such an exten sive Journey.

Women's News Social Events Garment Industry Opens Spring Clothes Showing New York - (UPD - It's au tumn in the rest of the na tion, but in the garment in dustry, spring just breezed in. The first dozen of New York's leading dress design ers and manufacturers this week unveiled their spring 1961 collections with the good news that the silhouette has changed little from spring 1960. The openings, held for the nation's dress, suit, coat and sportswear buyers, will continue through the first week of November. - The industry talked of a soft fluid and supple look in 1961 styles. Fabrics cut on ' tlie bias and draping helped create the soft look. At least two designers, Olcg Cassinl and Luis Estevez, however, continued to include the Reducing ! MIIIIH Italian sheath, a favorile silhouette with each through the years. And Donald Brooks, chief de signer at Towniey, showed several chemises, cut sleeve less and short with slanted pockets. Hemlines remained the same as last spring, which meant they just barely cover ed knees of showroom models. Color made the biggest splash in collections shown this week. The traditional navy and gray of spring took a back seat to bright pinks, a sharp orange-pink called cantaloupe, mauves, the whole family of beiges, Christmas red and green, blues and blue-greens. The costume reigned su preme, with coat and dress or jacket and dress combina tions shoving the standard two-piece suit way back in the closet. Late day costumes of coat and dress in handsome warp prints showed in every collections. Fabrics helped with the soft look; chiffon remained an evening wear favorite. Wools and cottons looked practically weightless. Designers continued on a trousers kick, showing them for street, at home and for going-out occasions. Designer Jane Derby featured a whole group of "party pants," or culottes with strapless bodic es, done in lush evening wear fabrics. The manufacturer Samuel Winston opened his show with praise for the manufacturers and designers of imported fabrics.

Mrs. E, Lee Ozbirn is preaching con servation to clubwomen and practicing it on her rolling acreage in the Southwest. The new president of the General Federation of Wom en's Clubs, "Katie" Ozbirn, is mobilizing her members 5.5 million strong in the U.S. for a crusade to save the soil and clean up the waters. Her first big date in this pursuit will be the National Conference on Water Pollu tion called by President Ei senhower, December 12 to 14, in Washington. She, along with the representatives of 30 other national organizations, is currently working on arrangements. "The national water prob lem is rapidly approaching the crisis stage, Mrs. Ozbirn warns. "Soil is another basic resource that must be pro tected and improved. I have chosen as the purpose of my administration 'Responsible, Responsive Citizenship for Survival,' and full and wise use of our natural resources is a must for survival." Pioneered for Conservation The liiWC, which pio neered for conservation oe fore the turn of the century, now takes -new leadership under the guiding glove of Mrs. Ozbirn. As a starter, she is presenting to each of the 50 state conservation chair men an autographed copy of Sen. Robert S. Kerrs new book on "Land, Wood and Water." The pioneer flavor of the Senator's writing especially appealed to her. The book is written in a fascinating, absorbing style," Mrs. Ozbirn recently wrote to clubwomen. "It is the kind of reading you do not put down until the end. The shrinking of the world has brought the word 'survival into our thinking. Too many of us think only in terms of physi cal survival. We need to see to it that the resources essen tion for economic strength survive. Senator Kerr's book brings, hpme the neglect of this fundamental doctrine, and I hope that all club women will use the book in their programs." Grandmother Mrs. Ozbirn is a spunky, versatile grandmother, a lit tle woman with big ideas. Fashionable and outspoken, she effectively promotes con servation on the rostrum and in private conversation. The daughter of a Texas pioneer doctor, she appears equally at home in gingham house- dress and bonnet, inspecting her treasured farm land which is a laboratory for con servation. "It was from my, pioneer father that I first learned to love the soil," she recalls af fectionately. "He gradually bought all the acreage he could afford. He would often say, 'Daughter, don't ever sell your land.' Now, I keep it for my children and grand children, and tell them the same thing." 1 Hornbrook Group Slates Events Hornbrook - Members of the Woman'3 Society of Horn brook Methodist church held a special meeting this after noon at the home of Mrs. Harry Chapman to complete plans for coming events of the society.
