Speaks of Newspapers Snenkpr vesterday was Eric W. Allen Jr., managing editor of the Mall Tribune, whose subject was "The World of Newspapers." ' He described, the varying "character' and personality of individual newspapers, cit ins several in Oregon as hav- . ing clear and distinct traits of personality. This he applaud ed, saying that each paper should have an individual and recognizable character. i Allen said that the aim of most editorial writers is less to convince, than to stimulate thought on matters of mutual concern among the paper's readers. ' "If he has accomplished that," he said, "If he has man aged to get his readers' thought-processes working on some subject of common im portance or interest, he has - succeeded in his most Impor- . tant job." , ' . ' i Welcome Controversy Editors usually w e 1 co m e controversy subjects of public concern, Allen declared, be cause "there are usually two sides to every question, and the truth, or what approxi mates the truth, will not be found unless both sides can be fully considered." ! He said that the problem of keeping well-informed is al most impossible in . today's complex world, and that this is of concern to newspaper men. ' ' . The major function of a newspaper is to provide the essential information on which citizens base their esonomic, political and social decisions, "A Sweetheart of a Meal" OREGON-pF CHERRY JUBILEE DIFFERENT - DELICIOUS - and TIMELY t fresh Oregon Frver cue up V2 cup flour ' 1 hp. salt & pepper ; Vif tup nielied butler 1 No. .10.1 on red sour pitted cherries V cup suar ...

MAKE SURE OF FRESHER FRYERS LOOK for this OREGON LABEL FEBRUARY S. 1961 that the newspaper is also called upon to provide enter tainment and news of sports, society and many other mat ters of widespread interest. The difficulty of doing all these varied tasks within the limitations of space and time were described by the speak er, who declared that no news paper, no matter how big or excellent, does them all to the satisfaction of those who put out the paper. Wort Than Puule Fitting in all these things, he declared, "is worse than working a jigsaw puzzle, for a jigsaw puzzle has a finite number of pieces, and ' one knows that, eventually, each one will fit. Trying to fit the elements of a daily paper to gether is more difficult, be cause we work with an almost infinite, and a constantly changing, number of factors each day." He described briefly . the thousands of different opera tions which go into producing "a complete new product, unique and distinctive, in our case some 18,000 units of it, every day." Allen said that In his view the 21 daily and 100 weekly and semi-weekly papers in Oregon range from "poorV to "pretty good" In- comparison to the job others are doing, But he questioned .whether there is, anywhere, a paper doing as good a job as its workers would like to do, Despite that, he .said, that most newspaper, men and wo men put up with the frustra tions ' and necessary compro mises of the work because it is exciting, satisfying and in triguing.
