OREGON EXCHANGES is rated as one of the best informed and most thorough advertising men in the United States, being an artist, a sculptor, and a practical copy man. He has been associated with some of the largest advertising campaigns on the coast, and has had a hand in the production of some of the best known slogans and advertising figures. While Mr. Duncan is affiliated with an outdoor advertising concern, he knows the profession from every angle, and will give the newspaper man agers of Oregon a new vision of what the future holds. He is coming from San Francisco especially for this convention, but will follow the meeting with addresses in various cities of the Northwest.

The usual round-tables and business and editorial topics will be discussed by various speakers from the association membership. C. C. Chapman, editor of the Oregon Voter, will speak on “Not That We Don’t Want to Pay an Income Tax, But It’s Hurting Our State.” Mr. Chapman and his organization have done a great deal of investigating of the income tax status in Oregon. and will be prepared to load editorial minds with facts and statistics relative to the Oregon tax system.

Dan C. Freeman, manager of the Associated Industries of Oregon, will be on the program at the Friday evening banquet with an announcement of the winner of the $100 cash prize given by his association for the best “Oregon Products” article written in the state press. On Saturday evening, Mr. Free man and his association will be hosts at an Oregon products supper at a beach bonfire at Oceanside.

No doubt, many of the editors and their families will take the opportunity presented to combine the convention trip with a real vacation along the seashore, and with that in mind the Kiwanis committee, which consists of C. J. Edwards, president of the Coast Power company; Arne G. Rae, editor of the Tillamook Herald; and H. A. Franklin, superintendent of the A. F. Coats lumber mills, is planning to offer its services to the newspaper folk who may wish to spend more time than that allotted for the convention. The Kiwanis club or any member of the committee will be glad to furnish information relative to vacation or camp sites, accommodations, rates, stage and train schedules, road conditions. in fact, any information that may help the editors in their vacation plans.

Although the convention officially ends Saturday evening, the Tillamook hosts plan to continue the entertainment of their guests as long as they may desire to visit. and Sunday and the following days will no doubt see many groups of newspaper folk and Tillamookers gathered together on Tillamook county’s delightful beaches.

The Woman’s club of Tillamook will assist the Kiwanis club in entertaining the women, looking after them during the business sessions of the convention. President Hoss was in Tillamook recently looking over the situation and conferring with the program committee. When apprised of the many features for the scribes’ entertainment that Tillamook has to offer, Hal said, “The only difficulty that I see is that Tillamook has so many attractions that I fear the editors will not be able to do justice to all of them in the few days they will be near the beaches.”

And—oh, yes, don't forget to bring your bathing suit.

The program, as completed up to date, follows: FRIDAY, JULY 25 9:00 a.m. Registration at City Hall. 10:00 a. m. Address of Welcome, Mayor T. Merrel Smith. Response for Association, Robert. W. Sawyer. l
