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.
