Vol. 8

RIDAY and Saturday, July 17 and 18, at Grants Pass and the Oregon Caves— -that's when and where the sum mer session of the Oregon State Editor ial Association will be held in 1925. This year’s programs will be devoted entirely to the editorial side of news paper making and 'to the social and entertainment opportunity which news paper folks of Oregon have learned to find and enjoy in the yearly renewal of friendships and acquaintances at these meetings. Not one number on the pro gram pertains to the cash register and there will be a “kangaroo court” to speedily consider the treatment of any member who dares to bring up for dis cussion “Overdrafts-—-how to meet them,” or any kindred subject. The general theme of the program is “Better Newspapers" and there will be much helpful information and inspira tion in the addresses and discussions. Paul Cowles, Pacific (‘oust manager of the Associated Press, is coming from San Francisco to give an address on “Gathering the News of the World.” This will be an important number and the smaller papers as well as the metro politan editors will be interested, “What should be the attitude of the newspaper towards the flapper and the jazz and other things that go with her, which we men deplore, but like?” ap pears on the program by special request of Elbert Bede, of the Uottage Grove Sentinel and the father of three daugh ters. It appealed to the pro:ram com mittee immensely. however, and Mrs. Kate '. Jameson, dean of women at O. A. C., was invited to htmdle it. Her consent to do so assures the convention a talk that will be well worth coming from any newspaper office in the state to hear. Dean Jameson is a very cap able speaker with a lovely personality and her understanding of the subject promises a real treat, especially for the women folks of the convention. This talk will be on the Friday afternoon program. Dr. E. T. Hodge, professor of geology, L'niversit_v of Oregon, will give another address that will be a headliner. He will discuss “Oregon's Position in the Great Pacific Earthquake Belt.” The banquet Friday evening will be held in the open air, according to pres ent plans of the Grants Pass people. One thing has been definitely decided upon about the program—that it shall not be too long. BRODIE WITII US AGAIN E. E. Brodie, publisher of the Oregon (‘ity Enterprise, recently returned from Bangkok, where he was United States minister to Siam. will be asked to tell how it seems to be back in his sanctum at work.
