OREGON THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1969 Gilbert Duckworth Jr. Promoted I .ocal Bowlers fake Lead in iournament Play Up and Down; The Avenue ■ By Don Moffatt ] I was too busy, and possibly a little lazy this past weekend, so I didn’t get around to go ing to the State Winter Con ference at Eugene of the Ore gon Press Association. I doubt if they missed me, as I very seldom attend. I understand they had a real good speaker too. He was Erwin D. Can ham, editor of the Christian Science Monitor, one of the better newspapers published in this country. In his talk he told publish ers that the written word in newspapers and news journals “can help serve individual man when the mass threatens to de stroy him.” There has been a lot of talk of recent years about the value I of news coverage by radio and 1 T.V. This is important, but a lot of people cannot absorb the new’s as fast as it is spewed out in this type of media. Therefore the newspapers and magazines will always remain one of the best means of cov ering news in depth, so to speak. With a newspaper, you can sit down in the evening and really digest the news at your leisure. Electronic news media has its place, but it never will replace the news paper for convenience. Some advertising agencies talk of the . wide coverage of radio and | T V.

Where, then, is the so-called area coverage? We will admit that electron ic journalism is fast and vivid but it cannot communicate with the detail and accuracy of the written word.
