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. O.S.

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

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. But Larry Aldrich,
president of the New York
couture group, an organiza
tion of some 40 topflight de
signers and manufacturers,
chastized U.S. stores for pro
moting European ready-to-wear,

Varying Fish Tastes
Object of Research
Gloucester, Mass'.-fflPD-Che-
mists at the Department of
Interior's new Fish and Wild
Life Service laboratory here
are trying to find out what
Lmakes a shad taste different
from an oyster, or a salmon
taste unlike a bass.
The chemical analysis is
designed to determine what
changes take place In han
dling and storage and estab
lish standards of quality for
marketing.
Already they've discovered
that a fish gets bleary-eyed in
storage.

plastic soap pad dispenser
with Its own covered remov
able drain and storage tray
is available for kitchens,

GFWC President Practices
And Preaches Conservation
Washington, D.C. 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."
