e MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MCDFORO. OREGON 6 A FRIDAY. MAY II. 1912 Maybe no one has noticed, but the writer of this column hasn't written one (or several days. We have a number of good reasons. We have been extremely busy going places- a great many events seem to call for the presence of the women's editor, along with extra reporting afterwards. Cov ering of all these not only took our time, but quite a bit of space to report (and pictures which are waiting to be pub lished) so that we had no time to write columns, and no space to print them. A few days ago we found a spare hour and and we re tired to our second office at home and surveyed the piles of papers, magazines, clippings, notes and letters that have accumulated in recent weeks. The file marked clippings was unusually thick, so we opened it and began to thumb through. On top was a little United Press clipping which read Americans spend nearly twice as much for recreation. alcoholic beverages, and tobacco as they do for medical care, the Health Insurance Institute reports. Of every 100 cents John and Jane Doe spend, more than 11 cents go for the combined costs of recreation, alcohol soaks up three cents and tobacco inhales 2.3 cents, the Institute says. Medical care corners 5.9 cents. Next we found a scrap of paper on which we had scrib- bled some notes. The words went something like this "girls books, brief cases girls more cons . . . ." This meant nothing at first glance and then we finally remembered. This was the result of a conversation with Cain Robinson, who said that for years he had been watching high school students as they made their way up and down Oakdale avenue and up and down Main street. He wants to know why girls are al- ways carrying great stacks of books, and boys hardly ever, unless they appear to be carrying them for a girl companion The 'cons . , ." we decided must have been conscientious, but we ve forgotten how brief cases got into the conversation Maybe boys carry brief cases nowadays. We must remember to check on this. The next next was a clipping from the Corvallis Gazette Times editorial column in which someone, probably Editor Robert Ingalls, stated that there are too many organizations in his town. He checked with Jackie McKenzie, who calls herself the "family editor" (society editors are going out of style) and she said she had about 200 women's organizations in her card file. The editorial continued: "It would probably be a con servative estimate to say there are 1000 regularly organized groups in this community of approximately 23.000 people. On top of this number there are the rural organizations to which many local people belong. "How man of these organizations are actually necessary, do good (not to be confused with 'do-gooders') for either the community or its members? Of course no one can answer the question. Maybe half would be good guess. "What we need in this community is a committee which would screen, on some sort of formula, new groups which want to form. The committee could then advertise to the public whether the proposed organization does or docs not meet the required standards. This committee could also begin a check on existing organizations with the Idea in mind of consolidation or elimination altogether." The writer back-tracked a bit and told how he once advocated that Cub Scouts, Brownies and Blue Birds should be abandoned since they were little more than "glorified baby sitting groups" and how his mail had been filled with letters from irate mothers (he didn't mention fathers) and then ended by saying he still believes that Corvallis is over-organized. He believes that some worthwhile projects are skimped because so many unnecessary ones get in the way. This, of course, is like arguing about what is "truth." The writer might have something, but who, pray, would be brave enough to serve on the committee to decide which groups are necessary and which are not? O. S.
