Wanted: More Green Thumbs
IN A WORLD faced with constant food shortages in so many
countries, more "green thumbs" are needed!
Here in America, modern agricultural methods have in-
creased farm production 60% in the past generation?even
though today there are 20% fewer workers on the farms.
This increased yield means plenty of food for every one
here ?and more besides. And the same methods, applied in
other countries, would help answer world food needs.
Better seed, fertilizer, and new scientific methods play
their part. Equally important are the various chemicals that
now fight off blight, disease, and destructive insects. Start-
ing before planting and continuing until the food is ready
for our tables, hundreds of new materials increase and pro-
tect our food supply.
Even after harvest, man-made agents speed the ripening
process. Others guard our food against rodents and insects.
The people of Union Carbide help make possible the
high productivity of America's food producers by supply-
ing chemicals for fungicides and insecticides, gases for rip-
ening and preserving, and the stainless steel so important
in the preparation and distribution of food. If you have a
materials problem, in this field or other fields, it is quite
likely they can help you also.

His instructions have never been listed in the curriculum . . .

TJERBERT T. CONDON '92, dean eraer-
?*? *~ itus of students and secretary of the
board of regents of the University of Wash-
ington, has been the kindly foster father of
thousands of students there for nearly half
a century.
During his long tenure there he has
served successively as registrar, comp-
troller, dean of men and dean of students,
in addition to his duties with the board of
regents. He became dean emeritus of stu-
dents in 1949.
Only living member of the class of 1892,
Dean Condon has become a veritable "book
of knowledge" on the history and traditions
of the University of Washington, which he
"adopted" in 1903. He carries with him a
little black book filled with facts and figures
about the University, collected over the
years.
At the time of his retirement as dean of
students in 1949, the Seattle Times said of
him:
"Dean Condon has been a true teacher.
His instructions have never been listed in
the curriculum, but they have been as valu-
able and as richly appreciated as any
'course' the University has offered, for they
were in the field of character, common
sense, and honorable living."
The University District Herald said:
"He is not only a teacher of ability, but
also a citizen of first rank. He delights in
giving help to the community in which he
lives, and certainly Seattle and the State
of Washington are to be congratulated on
having had a man of his caliber in a place
of public service."
Dean Condon was born in 1870 at The
Dalles, Oregon. He earned his bachelor's
degree from the University of Oregon in
1892 and received his bachelor of law's de-
gree from the University of Michigan in
1894. He came to the University of Wash-
ington as registrar in 1903 after teaching
political science, history, and serving as
registrar and comptroller at the University
of Idaho for five years. His 48 years with
the University of Washington give him the
distinction of holding the longest record of
continuous active service to that University
?a record he is still adding to. He is mar-
ried and has four sons and a daughter.
University of Washington President Ray-
mond B. Allen has this to say of the beloved
and durable faculty member:
"I think Herbert Condon is one of the
great men of education in this country. He
is and has been a great man because he has
The unusual March snow didn't stay-
very long?but it was long enough
for Deane Bond to catch this striking

never lost sight of the human-equation in his
students. Guide, counsellor and friend, he
exemplifies the truth that teaching and the
guidance of students is only as good as the
personal interest which the advisor and
the teacher takes in the individual student.
Education is nothing if it is not human."
And Dean Condon is the kind of man that
not only helps make a University great, but
something more human than the bare fact
of being "an institution of higher learning."

An Ex-barracks Is 'Home'
By Bill Frye
T IVING in a University housing project
?*-^ is an experience that will be placed
among the strongest memories of days at
Oregon for those hundreds of students
who've found themselves with both a fam-
ily and a GPA to maintain during their col-
lege days.
This time of year many Webfoots turn
their thoughts and efforts toward picnics,
trips to the beach and building Junior
Weekend floats. The more serious-minded
exceptions are the married students, who
mostly confine their leisure time to dinner
with the couple next door, a Sunday after-
noon drive or repairing the picket fence.
Sunny spring afternoons are likely to
bring the front-lawn baseball enthusiasts
out of the men's dorms and fraternities, but
if you happened around any one of the six
projects housing married veterans you'd
probably see them out washing windows.
But ask any one of the nearly 400 stu-
dent veterans living in University housing
if he yearns for the life of the on-campus
resident and he'll likely point out a dozen
reasons why the trailer, or converted bar-
racks or the prefabricated structure he calls
home is equally as appealing as any living
organization.
These "war legacies," hauled in by the
University and set up during the critical
period of the housing shortage in 1945 and
1946. are situated in areas of Eugene as
far from the campus, in one instance, as
two miles. Comfortable and inexpensive
housing is provided for the residents, most
of whom are students, though some faculty
members are included.
Of the six projects, probably the best
known, and the largest, is "Amazon flats,"
located in Eugene's eastside nearly a mile
The University provides
housing for some 400
married veteran students
in such projects
as the 'Amazon Flats9
from campus. The white-walled one and
two story buildings aligned in long rows
contain a total of 248 units. Accommoda-
tions offered there are typical of those
found in most University housing.
In the two-bedroom apartment of the
Dewey Wilson family, for example, are in-
cluded such furnishings as dressers, beds,
bookshelves, chairs and table. A wood
heater, cook stove and ice box are also
normally provided, but like many of the
other tenants the Wilsons have replaced
these with their own refrigerator, oil circu-
lating heater and electric range.
When Wilson, a 26-year-old Navy veter-
an, and his wife. Donna, first moved into
their apartment in February 1948 they
found it adequate but somewhat shy in com-
fort and atmosphere. So, like most of the
other Amazon residents, they refinished the
interior and added more furniture to give it
the pleasant appearance it presents now.
The Wilsons were on a waiting list for
nearly 18 months before they got their quar-
ters, but the turnover is considerably faster
now, due to the decreasing veteran enroll-
ment.
A notable improvement since the unit
opened is the elimination of the annual
"flood" danger from the overflowing of
Amazon creek. The area around 22nd Ave-
nue and Patterson Drive has not been under
water since the creek was dredged in 1948.
In appearance, the Amazon project is
surprisingly similar to any other small com-
munity. The corner grocery, the school, the
fenced-Jn yards and the children playing?
all these elements are present.
The thing that distinguishes Amazon resi-
dents from everyday American families is,
of course, their mode of living?little more
than a program geared to "getting the head
of the house through school." Conversation
A portion of "Amazon Flats," largestUniversity housing project is shown in
the large picture. Above, law studentDewey Wilson doesn't seem to be en-
tirely free from distraction as wifeDonna holds their daughter in their
Amazon apartment.
at the supper table centers around such top-
ics as term papers and the bite the high
cost of living takes out of a government sub-
sistence check.
The role of the "war widows" has been
taken over in part by the wives of the stu-
dents. Unless they go to school with their
husbands, as a few do, they see compara-
tively little of them during the day.
Wilson, who is preparing for his bar
examination in July, leaves early and comes
home late. Like most of the men he goes
home for lunch, but often dinner is kept
waiting until he can get out of a meeting
or seminar.
Although as note and comment editor of
the Oregon Law Review and a member of
the Student Union board Wilson is closer
to campus "activities" than most students,
like the majority he feels that time away
from studies should be spent with his fam-
ily.

Tkeu Make it Rain?More
r I "*EN years ago if you'd been able to tell
-*- Ted Gillenwaters "25 what his present
job would be, he'd probably have laughed,
at the very least. Not only did such a job
not exist, it wasn't possible.
Today Gillenwaters is associated with a
"rain-making" firm?without Indian dances
or medicine show hoopla, but on a sound
scientific basis.
But if you were to call it "rain-making,"
he would correct you. It's known rather as
"rain-increasing". The Water Resources
Development corporation, with which he is
associated, insists on that point. No one
can make it rain when it isn't going to rain
anyway, they say. What they do is "help
nature along" by increasing the amount of
rain available from favorable cloud forma-
tions.
The story of how Gillenwaters became as-
sociated with this unusual enterprise begins
during the last war, in which he served as
chief of operations of the Air Forces world-
wide weather services. Probably the story
goes back farther than that, to his gradua-
tion from the Oregon law school and ad-
mission to the state bar in 1927.
While an undergraduate he earned two
basketball letters, was president of his sen-
ior class and of the Order of "0", a mem-
ber of Alpha Tau Omega and of Friars.
Following admission to the bar he was
Klamath county deputy district attorney
from 1928 to 1930 and district attorney
from 1930 to 1934. He served as Oregon
state commissioner of aeronautics from
1933 to 1935.
Then in 1935 he moved to California and
was admitted to the bar there the next year.
He did legal work in the corporate field,
in relation to the aviation industry.
In April of 1942. when he was called to
active duty he held the rank of major in
the reserves, having remained active since
receiving his 2nd lieutenant's commission in
the reserves through ROTC.
While with the Air Forces weather serv-
ices during the war he met Dr. Irving P.
Krick, who was chief meteorologist for Gen-
eral Eisenhower and predicted the weather
for the European "D-Day." Before the war
Krick had been head of the meteorology
department at California Institute of Tech-
nology.
With the end of the war the two went
their separate ways, Gillenwaters returning
to legal counseling work in California. In
early 1949 he did industrial counseling for
aircraft subcontractors, an occupation he
still carries on "with one finger".
The paths of Gillenwaters and Krick
were again to cross, however, for in March,
1950, Weatherman Krick founded the Wa-
ter Resources Development corporation, lo-
cated in Pasadena, California. Aside from
April 1951
a financial interest in the undertaking, Gil-
lenwaters advises on the legal phase of op-
erations, negotiates all contracts having to
do with rain-increasing, and makes educa-
tional talks to chambers of commerce and
other groups.
In addition to the rain-increasing corpo-
ration, Krick is executive director of the
American Institute of Aerological Research,
which integrates up to a million weather re-
ports per 24 hours and services commercial
outfits whose businesses are affected by the
weather, such as fuel oil dealers. Gillen-
waters is special counsel for both.
The process of rain-increasing isn't some-
thing one explains thoroughly in a spare
moment, but it can be roughly explained in
general terms ...
Firstly, the airplane is distinctly out of
style for rain-increasing purposes; a ma-
chine about the size of an oil heater does
the job much more efficiently from the
ground.
Each raindrop that falls from the clouds,
we're told, has formed around a tiny par-
ticle of solid substance, usually a minute
speck of dust. Before these ever-present,
though invisible, particles serve to form
rain they must enter a "super-cooled" cloud
?one whose temperature is below freezing.
Minute, very cold water droplets that have
been floating inside the cloud are drawn
about these particles, setting up a sort of
"chain reaction" which attracts more mois-
ture. When enough accumulates, it becomes
a small ice crystal or snowflake of suffici-
ent weight to fall toward the ground. If tem-
peratures below the cloud are above freez-
ing it arrives as a raindrop.
The essence of rain-increasing is to sup-
plement this natural process by introducing
particles of silver iodide into the clouds.
This is accomplished by a ground "genera-
tor" which emits silver iodide as a gas,
which upon reaching colder outside air
forms literally billions of tiny particles of
solid silver iodide crystals. Because the
generators are used only during times of
likely storm?when conditions are such that
it could rain anyway ? natural updrafts
carry these invisible particles into the
clouds and disperse them, far better than is
accomplished by dropping them from above
by an airplane.
The silver iodide particles are superior
to the particles normally found in the air
in that they will attract moisture at higher
temperatures than, for example, dust par-
ticles or others naturally found there. Thus
even the relatively warmer (usually the
lower) parts of the cloud may contribute
Ted Gillenwaters '25?he makes a living out of "doing something about the weather."
A Fine Season
By John Barton
COACH John Warren's basketbaU Web-foots rose mightily from the 1950 sea-
son in the season just past. From a last
place finish in Northern Division standings
a year ago, the Ducks came back this year
to finish in the number two position, with
only the University of Washington Huskies
ahead of them.
In division play with the other four con-
ference schools, Oregon ended its season
with a record of 10 games won and six lost.
The Webfoots had a three-won and one-lost
record with each of the other teams except
Washington. The Huskies, who subse-
quently captured the Coast Conference
crown by dropping UCLA in two straight at
Seattle, won three games from Oregon, los-
ing only one contest, that one in Eugene.
In total season play the record wasn't
quite as good. The Oregonians wound up
with a record of 18 won and 13 lost during
the 1950-51 season. This was due mostly to
a slow start. In pre-season games before
Christmas the Ducks had a lot of trouble
winning. But they finally proved to the
basketball world and to themselves that
they could win, and established something
of a precedent when they beat College of
Puget Sound in two games away from Eu-
gene.
That accomplishment doesn't sound
startling on its face?but those two wins
were the first Oregon victories away from
the McArthur court home floor in a long
time. In the 1950 season, Oregon didn't
win a single game away from Eugene. So
the College of Puget Sound games were a
turning point.
After those games the Webfoots started
moving. But two heart-breaking losses were
to keep Oregon from what otherwise would
probably have been a championship year.
The first of these losses was in Seattle
on January 6. That was a Saturday night,
and the night before Washington had open-
ed its Northern Division season by hum-
bling the Webfoots 73 to 49. But Saturday
night the Ducks came roaring back in the
final part of the game and nearly won?
final score was Washington 61, Oregon 60.
That was to mean much in the final picture.
The second defeat which really hurt Ore-
gon this season was to Oregon State in Cor-
vallis on March 2?the next-to-last game
of the season. Oregon had already run over
the Beavers twice, 62-53 in Eugene, 66-47
in Corvallis.
But this third OSC-Oregon game meant
a lot. Oregon was in a tie with Washington
for the division lead, and the Ducks had to
win to stay in that tie. It looked like they'd
do it in the first half, but canny Slats Gill,
OSC coach, changed his pace in the second
period and final score was OSC 41. Oregon
39. And the same night up in Seattle, Wash-
ington was pushing the Washington State
Cougars all over the maple, winning easily
and taking over first place in league stand-
ings.
A second Washington victory over WSC
the next night sewed it up for the Huskies,
despite a lopsided Oregon 72-45 win over
the Beavers the next night in Eugene.
From the standpoint of games won and
lost it was a successful season for Oregon
Coach John Warren and his charges. And
by the traditional yardstick of the Oregon
State series it was also a decided success.
Oregon beat the Staters three times, with
total scoring for the four-game series giv-
ing Oregon 239 points against 186 for OSC.
An all-Northern Division forward in hisfirst year, sophomore basketball star Bob
Peterson watches the Webfoots whip Ore-gon State in their final game from the
bench. Previously that evening he hadapologized publicly for his much-publicized
clash with an Oregon State fan the nightbefore at Corvallis; he was held out of the
season's final game. (He's third from left.)
To many Oregon fans that alone makes a
successful season.
Probably the high-point of the season just
past was the record-shattering 82-75 win
over Washington in Eugene?the final Ore-
gon-Washington game of the year and the
only one the Ducks won from the Huskies.
By half-time of this game Oregon had
built up the amazing total of 52 points, to
35 for Washington. The Webfoots simply
couldn't do anything wrong that night.
Sophomore Bob Peterson, All-Northern Di-
vision forward, canned 28 points, the most
ever in one game by a Webfoot. The half-
time mark of 52 points is a division record
for one team in one half. Peterson made 14
of 15 freethrow attempts that night, and
that, too, is a record.
At the end of the Northern Division sea-
son each year the five coaches in the league
vote to choose an all-division team. Oregon
placed its star sophomore, Peterson, on the
first-string all-ND team. On the second
team Oregon really dominated?chosen
were sophomore forward Curt Barclay, cen-
ter Jim Loscutoff (a junior) and guards
Jack Keller and Mel Krause, both seniors.
Peterson was second highest scorer in
the Northern Division for the season, and
had the highest average per game, with 188
points in the 15 games he played. Loscutoff
rolled up a conference total of 163 and Curt
Barclay, the third "big man" of the Oregon
line-up tossed in 152. Senior guard Mel
Krause led all division players in shooting
percentage by hitting on 37.6 per cent of
his field goal attempts.
The team this year was marked by real
fast-break basketball, with the big men?
Loscutoff, Peterson and Barclay?giving
the Webfoots backboard domination in
nearly every conference game.
With only five seniors leaving the Web-
foot basketball fold, the prospects for next
season would be anything but dim?except
for the question of military service. Gradu-
ation takes Krause, Keller, Captain Will
Urban, John Neeley and Hal Webb.
If the armed forces don't take others,
back next year will be Barclay, Peterson
and Loscutoff. In addition will be Ken
Hunt, who alternated at guard this year
with Krause and Keller, and finished sixth
in team scoring.
Also back will be forwards Mel Streeter,
Jim Vranizan and Keith Farnam. Back at
center to help Loscutoff will be Chet Noe
and Henry Bonneman, both sophomores
this year and both 6' 7". The open guard
post will probably be filled by one of sev-
eral players up from the freshmen or in-
eligibles this year.
The 1951-52 Ducks will have to work
hard to beat this record.

A Profile
T IKE father, like son," would be the trite
?*?' ?and true?way to begin a profile on
Walt McClure Jr., three-year track letter-
man and a senior on this year's Webfoot
cinder crew.
For both Walt and his father. Colonel
Walter McClure '13 (U.S. Army, retired),
have been Oregon track stars. Both ran un-
der the late "Colonel Bill" Hayward, long-
time Oregon track coach. Col. McClure ran
the mile, went to the 1912 Olympics in
Stockholm.
Young Walt fears he isn't quite an Olym-
pic contender, but he's been Oregon's top
half-miler for the past two seasons and un-
doubtedly will be again this year.
Born in Brooklyn. New York in 1928,
W alt with the rest of the family followed
Col. McClure from army post to army post,
with the result that he had attended seven
different schools by the time he was ready
to attend university.
He graduated from high school in Fargo,
North Dakota, and considered a number of
universities before heeding his father's sug-
gestion that he go \^ est to the University
of Oregon to run under Bill Hayward.
Walt McClure, who will earn his fourthtrack letter this spring.
He enrolled in the University in the fall
of 1945, becoming a pledge of Alpha Tau
Omega afler his first term here. That year
there was no freshman track team, so Walt
went out for the varsity and under Hay-
ward's guidance he made his first "0" that
year.
The next fall he enlisted in the army,
spending most of his subsequent two years
at Fort Sam Houston, Texas.
He returned to Oregon as a sophomore
in the fall of 1948. Col. Bill Hayward had
died by the time it turned another track
season, and under a new coach. Bill Bower-
man, Walt made his second track letter,
and last spring he earned a third such
award.
Walt began running when in high school
in Manhattan, Kansas. He recalls with a
grin that he wanted to be a miler like his
father, but a state law prohibited boys un-
der 15 from running that distance, so he
settled for the quarter-mile. Since switching
to the half-mile in college he has won plenty
of Northern Division contests, but the race
he recalls with the most pleasure was the
third place he won in the Pacific Coast con-
ference meet last spring.
That wasn't his fastest race though. The
fastest time he ever turned in came in win-
ning the half-mile against Oregon State in
one minute, 55 and three-tenths seconds.
This will be Walt's third year under
Coach Bowerman, himself an Oregon grad-
uate in the class of 1933, and Walt is high
in his praise of his coach. Asked about this
year's Oregon track team he notes that last
year's squad won the Northern Division
championship; this year, he thinks, Oregon
figures more as a "darkhorse." Both Wash-
ington State, a perennial track power, and
Washington will be good, he figures, but
if the right Webfoots win the right events
at the right times Oregon might repeat.
Walt's college activities include member-
ship in Friars, senior men's honorary; Phi
Epsilon Kappa, physical education honor-
ary; Order of "0"; and presidency of the
physi?el education club. Like so many of
tie he:t athletes he's maintained a good
though not astounding grade average, about
a 2.75, or close to "B" average.
Walt lives at home with his parents, who
have resided in Eugene since 1946. A physi-
cal education major, he will graduate in
June and hopes to land a coaching job?
track, naturally, though he hopes to be able
to add basketball coaching later.
The Outlook . . .
llith press deadline at the end of winter
term, OLD OHKCJON'S athletic crystal ball
again comes up a little cloudy in regard to
spring sports, but the personnel for the ma-
jor sports is pretty ivell set...
Oregon's defending champion track team
under guidance of Coach Bill Bowerman
suffered a number of serious losses through
graduation, but there are a number of re-
turning veterans and new men who provide
the possibility of a top season.
Losses included star dash-man turned
quarter-miler Dave Henthorne, the "one-
two-three" Northern Division pole-vaulting
combination of George Rasmussen, Don
Pickens and Lloyd Hickock. broad jumper
Woodley Lewis, two-miler Pete Mundle and
hurdler Jack Doyle. Gone from campus
though not by graduation is ace sprinter Bill
Fell.
Despite losses there are a number of
promising men on this year's team, includ-
ing these Iettermen:
Bob Anderson, Hale Paxton and Herb
Nill on the weights; Jack Hutchins and
Art Backlund, distance; Walt McClure,
half-mile; Al Bullier and Bob Cleary,
sprints; Jack Countryman, 440; Chuck
Missfeldt, javelin; Dennis Sullivan, high
jump; and Jack Smith, sprints and broad
jump.
Among the top prospects from this group
are Jack Hutchins, a junior from Canada
who has run a 4:15 mile; Walt McClure,
back for his fourth year of 880 competition;
Jack Smith in the high jump; and Chuck
Missfeldt a junior and in the first rank of
coast javelin-throwers.
Probably the high point of all time in
Eugene track events will be the Pacific
Coast conference?Western conference
(Big 10) track meet, slated for June 19 at
Hayward field. Teams will be made up of
the first three place winners in the respec-
tive conference championship meets. The
inter-conference meet will be a twilight
affair, beginning about 5:30 p.m. A crowd
of around 8,000 is anticipated for the
"greatest meet ever seen here," according
to Coach Bowerman.
Coach Don Kirsch's Oregon varsity base-
ball squad, third-place finishers in last
year's Northern Division chase, hope for
better things this year, though ineligibility
of possible stars could hurt them.
The team spent the end of winter term in
limited work indoors in McArthur court,
waiting for a break in the weather that
would permit them to move outdoors in pre-
paration for tleir opening game against
Linfield college April 2.
A squad of 36 players, which includes 11
Iettermen and two outstanding transfers,
plus a top-flight sophomore up from frosh
ranks had so far greeted the coach's call.
Kirsjh announced that Hal Zurcher, two-
year minor league veteran and ex-Webfoot
star will handle the freshmen this spring.
Letlermen on hand for varsity baseball
include Jim Hanns, Mel Krause and Lyle
Rogers, pitchers; Jack Smith, catcher;
Daryle Nelson, Phil Settecase and Ray
Coley. infielders; John Jones, Duane
Owens, Dick Sailer and Joe Tom, out-
fielders.

days. There are many more calls than a year ago.
More are from the Nation's industries and Armed
Forces, hurrying the country's most important job.
A big help in keeping these calls moving is
Operator Toll Dialing ? a remarkable new tele-
phone development.
You give the Long Distance operator the num-
ber in the usual way. She quickly presses several
keys and your call goes straight through to the
telephone you want in a distant city.
It makes for faster service ? especially on calls
that formerly were relayed through other cities.
With so many more calls on the lines, it's a
mighty good thing that Operator Toll Dialing was
developed and is now available and in use in so
many places. About one-third of Long Distance
calls are now being handled in this new way.
It is just one of many ways in which the growth
and improvement of telephone service are now
proving of extra value to the Nation in these days
of preparedness.
ANOTHER STEP FORWARD . . . Morp and more telephone usprs in a growing number of metropolitan areas can
now dial Toll calls direct to nearby places the same way they dial Local calls ... BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM
Do You REMEMBER WHEN?
In 1902, more than 80 students turned out to vote in the corridor of Villard Hall when H. B.
Densmore was elected president in student body elections.
In 1909 an amendment to the constitution was passed allowing $100 a year for the editor of
the Oregon Weekly and $75 for the business manager.
In 1911 classes were dismissed so that faculty and students could go to the Eugene depot to
hear President Taft. "Busher" Brown and his Oregon spouters played "Oskey Wow Wow" as he
pulled into the station.
In 1922 venders sold "cougar meat in a biscuit" at the Oregon-Washington State football
game. Oregon won 13-0.
In 1930 Oregon women formed a hike-every-Sunday policy. Jaunts of 5 to 10 miles were con-
ducted by Ella Redkey, sports manager.
In 1934 coeds were wearing sheer dovetone chiffon hose, ties with cuban heels, and angora
cloth slim-fitting dresses. Hair was in curls, forming bangs, coronets, and clusters around the ears.
In 1935 Richard L. Neuberger participated in a debate maintaining that membership in ASUO
should remain optional. Over 350 persons turned out for the event. Also on the positive side was
Howard Ohmart. Joseph Renner and Marshall Harrison held down the negative side.

THE CAMPUS
Dads Visit Campus
More than 500 dads invaded the Oregon
campus in late February for the annual
"Dads' Day" weekend.
Saturday noon feature of the three-day
weekend was the Student Union luncheon,
at which students and dads heard President
H. K. Newburn, Chancellor Charles D.
Bvrne, and Student Body President Barry
Mountain speak on various phases of state
education and university life.
President Newburn explained the im-
portance of the budget to the University
progress, while Chancellor Byrne discussed
the state budget and salaries of college
teachers in Oregon.
Highlights of campus tours Saturday
afternoon were the Student Union, Carson
Hall, and the new Science building, now
under construction.
Saturday night, Oregon dads saw Oregon
tie up the Northern Division basketball
r^-e. as they defeated the Washington
Huskies 82 to 75, after having lost the pre-
vious night by an eight-point margin.
Half-time activities at the game included
awards to living organizations, and the an-
nouncement of Mrs. Gene Rose as Dads'
Day Hostess. Mrs. Rose was elected by
Dads who voted at registration.
At the annual business meeting of the
Oregon Dads' Club, members re-elected
their 1950-51 officers for the coming year.
Owen Bentley '21, Portland, will remain
president for 1951-52. Other re-elected
officers are Paul Patterson '23, Hillsboro,
vi^e president; Rev. Wesley G. Nicholson.
Euzene, secretary; and Karl W. Onthank
'13, Eugene, executive secretary.
Trees Condemned
Tall evergreens and black locust trees,
long familiar to the Oregon campus, are
soon to be replaced by a hardier variety of
English plane trees.
The new program calls for replacement
of trees lost during recent storms and others
judged to be unsafe in the present positions.
Recommendation for the change was
made by J. R. Dilworth, professor of forest
management at Oregon State college, who
was called to make a complete survey of
campus trees. He was summoned after
storms of the past two winters felled several
trees, damaging a car and a University
quonset hut. The stability of many trees has
been threatened by high winds.
All of the black locusts now lining 13th
Avenue have been condemned, along with
12 evergreens scattered over the campus,
which were judged hazardous.
The plan, as set up by I. I. Wright,
superintendent of the physical plant, in-
cludes immediate replacement of the lo-
custs with plane trees, replacement of the
evergreens with a springtime planting of
about 20 evergreens, and gradual removal
and replacement of potentially dangerous
trees.
Adding to the new appearance of the
campus in the future will be approximately
80 new lights, as part of a $16,000 lighting
system, scheduled to be finished during
spring term.
Conferences Held
Three major conferences brought drama-
tists, journalists, and Oregon high school
students to the campus recently.
More than 200 state newspapermen met
at the University for the 32nd annual Ore-
gon Press conference. Included in confer-
ence activities was an address by Gordon
A. Sabine, dean of the Oregon school of
journalism, who outlined present and future
plans of the school for the representatives.
A three-day conference of high school
International Relations Leagues convened
March 1 on the campus, sponsored by the
Oregon Education association. Feature
talks were given by William J. Bruce, assist-
ant director of the statistical office of the
United Nations since 1946. Director of the
conference was Dr. Charles P Schleicher,
professor of political science at the Univer-
sity.
The Northwest Drama conference, largest
of its kind in the United States, brought
students and theater experts to the campus
from all parts of the Northwest in mid-
February.
Over 400 delegates participated in con-
ference activities, which stressed school,
community, and children's theaters. The
roster of speakers was headed by Clarence
Derwent, president of Actors' Equity, pro-
fessional actors' union, who stressed the
need for a national theater. The confer-
ence was sponsored by the University
speech department.
Women Elect Officers
March elections by University women
brought new officers into 21 positions in the
three major women's organizations on the
campus.
Nancy Allison, Portland, will head the
Associated Women Students, organization
of all University women. Elected president
of the University YWCA was Ann Darby,
Portland. Joan Skordahl, Nampa, Idaho,
will head activities of the Women's Recrea-
tional association, which sponsors the
women's athletic program.
Bennet Cerf Talks
Bennet Cerf, author, publisher and hum-
orist, spoke on current trends in American
humor to a University audience in a late
February appearance sponsored by the
University Assembly committee.
Cerf. author of five top-selling collections
of humorous stories, asserted that humor is
changing from hilarious laughter to a quiet,
smiling humor of a more constructive type.
Cerf is president of Random House pub-
lishers and owner of the Modern Library
Series.
Oregon's "Snow Queen," Miss Nancy Miller, freshman from Salem, won that title at theUniversity of Nevada's Winter Carnival winter term from a field of candidates from
other western colleges.

THE FACULTY
Educational Tours
University of Oregon alumni in Hood
River, The Dalles, and Bend welcomed five
University staff members at a series of din-
ner meetings held in those communities last
month. This was the final leg of the state-
wide educational tour sponsored by the
alumni association which has reached
every major community in the State dur-
ing the past two years.
Making up the traveling party were Dean
James H. Gilbert '03, emeritus professor of
economics, Dr. E. G. Ebbighausen, asso-
ciate professor of physics, Dean Theodore
Kratt of the school of music. Bill Bower-
man '34, track coach, and Les Anderson
'43, alumni director.
Hood River was the first stop with a meet-
ing of more than 50 local alumni present at
a dinner meeting in the Apple Blossom
cafe on March 13. David N. Browning '43,
Hood River county alumni director, headed
arrangements.
Arthur N. Muller '34 headed the com-
mittee in The Dalles where a dinner at-
tended by 60 local alumni was held the fol-
lowing evening in the Hotel Dalles. He was
assisted by Don Lewis '43.
The final stop was at Bend where more
than 80 alumni greeted the traveling party.
The committee in charge consisted of E. L.
(Al) Nielsen '35, Deschutes County alumni
director, Henry Fowler '14, and Robert W.
Thomas '36. The dinner meeting was held
in the Pine Tavern.
Trips to Southern Oregon and the Lower
Columbia area are being planned for the
spring.
Old Oregon
No Faculty Drop
Despite predictions of nationwide drops
in student and faculty enrollment in col-
leges and universities, President H. K. New-
burn has announced that no great loss in
faculty is expected at the University.
The statement was made in late Febru-
ary, after the appearance of articles in the
New York Times predicting a drop of
20,000 to 25,000 faculty members in U. S.
institutions of higher learning.
"Since our present faculty-student ratio
is high, there need not be any great cut in
faculty members at the University with a
lowered enrollment," he stated.
Causes listed for the drop by the New
York Times included resignation for gov-
ernment and military jobs coupled with the
drop in student enrollment.
President Newburn explained that pre-
dictions of this sort must be influenced
pretty heavily by institutions not similar to
the University.
Referring to a predicted drop in student
enrollment, he commented, "It is difficult
to tell until we know what will happen to
Selective Service and the Reserve Officers
Training Corps program."
Coaches Shifted
The Webfoot football coaching staff was
in a state of flux during winter term, with
one assistant definitely hired, another hired
and resignation accepted within weeks, and
two resigned.
Hired to aid Head Coach Jim Aiken was
Gene Harlow, formerly assistant grid coach
at University of Idaho, to fill a similar spot
on the Oregon staff. Harlow, ex-Vanderbilt
university star, has been at Idaho for the
past four football seasons.
Hired, then shortly afterward released
to take the head coaching job at Arizona
State college was Larry Siemering, former
head coach at College of the Pacific. Siemer-
ing was signed as line coach but very short-
ly after appointment was released to take
the Arizona State job.
Resigning from coaching positions were
Bob McClure, line coach, and Jerry Lillie,
end coach, both after two years with the
Webfoots.
Working with the Oregon quarterbacks
during spring practice this term will be
Norm VanBrocklin, former Oregon great
at that position and star of the professional
Los Angeles Rams. John McKay, another
backfield star of a couple of years back, will
be retained as an assistant in coaching the
backfield, the position he held last year.
Dean Little Travels
A transcontinental trek ended in late
March for Sidney W. Little, dean of archi-
tecture and allied arts, who visited U. S.
colleges and universities during a three-
week absence from, the campus.
April 1951
Dean Little made arrangements in New
York for securing graduate students of
foreign countries interested in architecture.
Preparations for exchange students at the
University were made through the Institute
of International Education.
A meeting of the commission for the sur-
vey of education and registration of the
American Institute of Architects in Pitts-
burgh, Pa. was the first event of the trip.
A Northwest regional meeting of the AIA
was held at the University in February.
At Tulane university, Dean Little dis-
cussed the Oregon architecture school's no-
grade, pass-or-fail policy with Tulane
authorities. The return trip included visits
to the University of Southern California,
the University of California, and the Cali-
fornia School of Fine Arts.
Visiting Professor
Added to the political science faculty for
spring term is Dr. George H. Sabine, emer-
itus professor of philosophy at Cornell uni-
versity, who will be on campus until sum-
mer.
Dr. Sabine's work at the University will
be partly in connection with a program for
preparation of college instructors, support-
ed by the Carnegie Foundation.
He will conduct a graduate seminar in
"Political Philosophy and History in Eng-
land from 1540 to 1690," this term.
Dr. Sabine is a former vice president of
Cornell and former dean of the graduate
school there. He also taught at Stanford,
the University of Missouri, and Ohio State
university.
He is the author of "A History of Politi-
cal Theory," a book widely used in univer-
sities and colleges, and is editor of two
other volumes on political science and
philosophy.
Faculty Salaries
Teachers in the Oregon State System of
Higher Education are now waiting for
response to a recent request for 20 per cent
salary increases and a more adequate re-
tirement program.
A committee of professors representing
all schools in the system petitioned the
State Board of Higher Education in late
January, citing the reasons for the request.
The committee pointed out that a 20 per
cent raise would merely bring salaries back
to the purchasing power level of pre-war
days.
Chancellor Charles D. Byrne told Oregon
Dads on February 24 that in the past two
years Oregon has lost more than 100 good
staff members because of salary factors. He
pointed out that Oregon's salary scale is
25 per cent lower than that of Washington,
and 40 per cent lower than that of Cali-
fornia.
Regarding retirement provisions, the
State Board is endorsing the Oregon State
Employees Association retirement program,
which has been presented to the Legisla-
ture. No further action has been taken to-
ward a retirement program.
Of the 20 per cent increase in salaries
asked by professors, 8 per cent is included
in the board's budget request now before
the legislature. No further commitments
have yet been made by the board.
Representing the University on the pro-
fessional committee petitioning the board
were Charles G. Howard, professor of law,
and Thurman S. Peterson, professor of
mathematics.
Blue Cross Drive
Under direction of Frank F. Dickson '23,
the recent Blue Cross hospital-medical-
surgical prepayment plan drive at the
University of Oregon resulted in 1,273
faculty and custodial employees enrolling.
Associated with Dickson in Blue Cross
and participating in the drive were Claire
Warner Churchill '19, director of public
relations; Richard R. Ferriss '29 and Max
Angus '49, both sales representatives; and
Bonnie Miller Anderson '41, public rela-
tions department.
Another Webfoot, Richard Montgomery
Jones '29 is national director of the Blue
Cross commission, with headquarters in
Chicago. Jones coordinates activities of 90
Blue Cross plans throughout the U. S.,
Canada and Puerto Rico.
THE ALUMNI
Alumni Institute
For the third successive year, the Oregon
Alumni Institute played to a packed house
in the Multnomah Hotel Ballroom on Satur-
day, March 17. The annual event, sponsored
by the Portland Alumni club, features lead-
ing members of the University faculty who
discuss topics relating to their fields of
study.
The popular educational program which
proves that "learning can be fun" opened
with a luncheon featuring President H. K.
Newburn in a speech entitled "Maintain-
ing our Sense of Values." Head Football
Coach Jim Aiken also spoke briefly.
Following a brief recess, the afternoon
"institute" session opened with Dean James
H. Gilbert '03 recounting some of the prom-
inent incidents which occurred during his
52 years at the University. In his talk,
"Builders of Oregon and Heralds of Its
Greatness," he reviewed and evaluated the
administration of each University president
since 1900, and cited the numerous alumni
who have achieved prominence in varied
fields as "heralds" of the University's posi-
tion.
"Making Skeletons Talk" was the topic
chosen by Dr. William S. Laughlin, assist-

to this military project have been the development of
compact transmitters to report rocket's progress.
JET ENGINES?In 1941,
the Air Force asked Gen-

equipment to help fill America's military needs.
The hundreds of General Electric engineers, physi-
cists, chemists, and other specialists sharing in these
projects work with the assurance that their contribu-

ant professor of anthropology. In his dis-
cussion he explained how the human skele-
ton can reveal a person's age at death,
stature, sex, certain illnesses, and whether
a person is left or right handed. Such facts
are constantly proving more valuable in
criminal detection work, he pointed out.
Dr. Ivan G. Nagy, former secretary of the
Hungarian Embassy and now a member of
the political science faculty, gave a talk
entitled "Revolution?our challenge to the
Soviet." Dr. Nagy explained that Commun-
ism is actually a reactionary movement
which is placing human rights in the same
position as they were in medieval times,
while the true revolution is offered by
America in its interpretation of democracy.
Closing the session was Dr. E. G. Ebbig-
hausen, associate professor of physics, in
his talk, "The Physicist Dates the Past." He
showed how evidences of civilization more
than 20,000 years old can now be dated with
amazing accuracy by using recent develop-
ments in nuclear physics.
Nicholas Jaureguy '17 introduced the
speakers, and acted as Institute Moderator.
A social hour followed the formal pro-
gram.

Cottage Grove Alumni
The annual meeting of Oregon alumni
in Cottage Grove was held March 1 in the
Cottage Grove high school cafeteria.
The program featured members of the
Educational Tour troupe, which included
President H. K. Newburn, Dean Theodore
Kratt of the school of music, Dean Victor
P. Morris of the school of business admin-
istration, and Dr. Roy C. McCall, head of
the speech department.
Norman Richards '42 acted as chairman
for the meeting. He was assisted by his
wife, Kathleen Daugherty Richards '42 and
Ruth S. Caldwell '23.
64Time" Correspondent
George Jones '37, former head of the
Rome news bureau of Time and Life maga-
zines, flew to England in mid-March to
join Time's London bureau as senior cor-
respondent.
He joined the staff of Time on December
26, 1947, the day of the big blizzard?he
reported for work on Time on time but no-
body else in his department showed up.
Jones, who speaks fluent Italian, was sent
to Italy as chief of the Rome bureau of Time
and Life in April of 1948, less than four
months after joining the staff. One of his

first reports from Rome was on the Italian
elections. He was in charge of the Rome
office for three years, returning to New
York this February for reassignment.
Before joining Time, Jones was a reporter
for several Oregon papers from 1934?when
he was still in college?until 1939. He
worked his way through the University as
a reporter for the Eugene Register Guard
and the Oregon Journal, graduating in 1937
with a bachelor of science degree in journal-
ism and membership in Sigma Delta Chi,
professional journalistic fraternity.
He stayed on the Guard's staff for some
time after University, later working for
the Capitol Journal in Salem. In 1939 he
joined United Press as a west coast reporter
and in September, 1942, went to the Pacific
as war correspondent for U.P.
He wrote a book, "Tumult in India,"
following 18 months in that country after
the war as correspondent for the New York
Times. Jones is married and his wife flew
to London with him for his present assign-
ment.
Former Athlete Writes
The following letter was received recent-
ly by Leo A. Harris, director of athletics.
Written by a former "O" winner now with
the Air Force in Korea, it is reprinted here
because it gives an indication of the type
of athlete that a University always hopes
to produce...
Headquarters Far East Air Forces
APO 925 c/o Postmaster
San Francisco, California
Dear Mr. Harris:
There are few things that I have received
that gave me more pleasure than receiving
my life-time pass to Oregon athletic con-
tests because of having won a varsity "O".
Whether I have an opportunity to use it
matters little (except that I'll always want
to see Oregon teams play) compared to the
immense amount of satisfaction I enjoyed
upon learning that Oregon is mindful of
those students who gave so much time and
effort to their school.
An athlete can perhaps understand
events in Korea better than those who have
not been subjected to the ups and downs
of stiff group physical contests. One thing
we always did at Oregon was to play our
hearts out no matter whether we were win-
ning or losing. We did it because we were
taught to do it, because everyone expected it
of us, and because it was the right thing to
do.
Such an attitude is far more important
in war than it is in intercollegiate athletic
contests.. .Apparent military defeats are
frequently turned into victories and the fate
of a nation has often hung on the determin-
ation of a small group (or large) to "stay
in there and pitch" when the going seemed
toughest, and whatever the odds.
Again, please let me thank that great
institution, the University of Oregon,
through you for having the wisdom to add
another facet to the great amount of plea-
sure it has given me in my life.
Sincerely yours,
Col. Don Zimmerman '24
Alumni Leaders Meet
More than 30 alumni leaders from all
parts of the state attended the Third An-
nual Alumni Leaders' conference on the
University campus Saturday, March 3.
Topics of general interest discussed were
the legislative program, the enrollment out-
look, deferred living and the general ath-
letic picture. The Saturday afternoon ses-
sion was held in the board room of the Erb
Memorial Union. A short business meet-
ing preceded a "round-table" discussion
with University leaders.
University staff members present includ-
ed President H. K. Newburn; Leo A. Har-
ris, director of athletics; J. O. Lindstrom,
business manager; Donald M. DuShane,
director of student affairs; Howard Lemons,
assistant to the president; and Lyle Nelson,
director of public services.
A reception and dinner were held for the
delegates and their wives, following which
all were guests at the final Oregon-Oregon
State basketball game (won convincingly
by the Webfoots).
Herbert J. Darby '23, president of the
Alumni Association, presided at the con-
ference. Attending the session were Don
Malarkey '48, Astoria; George Luoma '41,
Roseburg; George H. Corey '38, Pendleton;

WARM UP
"Mr. Kent will see you in a few minutes,"
the receptionist said pleasantly.
"Thank you." Tom Wilson went to the far
side of the room and sat down. This was his
first "big" call, on his own, as a New York
Life agent and he was nervous, frankly
nervous.
Tom picked up a magazine and turned a
few pages idly. He had that same tense feel-
ing in his stomach that he had the day he
pitched his first big baseball game in college.
Tom put the magazine down and let his mind
wander back to the baseball diamond and
that first big game.
He remembered warming up, he and the
catcher, standing along the first base line.
Then Tom had gone over to talk with his
mother, who was sitting just behind the
screen where she could see every pitch. Her
understanding smile turned out to be the
best part of the warm-up.
Tom had been so proud of her, looking as
smart as any of the girls and, when she
laughed, looking almost as young. Nobody
would have guessed that she had borne the
cares of the family all alone, helped only by
the memories of her husband and an income
from the life insurance he had so thought-
fully left her.
Tom had been proud of his father, too, for
the love and forethought which had made it
possible for his mother and himself to live
and grow, not hemmed in by want. In fact, it
was the deep realization of all the things life
insurance had made possible for his family?
and could make possible for others?which
had led Tom to become a New York Life
agent himself . . .
The receptionist's voice punctured Tom's
thoughts. "Mr. Kent will see you now."
"Fine,"he said. He got up and started to
Mr. Kent's office. The warm-up was over.
He had the confidence he needed now.

"Living-In" Study
To renew study of the new "living-in"
plan under which all freshmen live in Uni-
versity dormitories, another special alumni
committee has been appointed by Herbert
J. Darby, president of the Alumni Associa-
tion.
The group will succeed the committee
headed by Sidney Milligan of Eugene,
whose report recommended the appoint-
ment of a new committee and continuation
of observing the operation and results of
the new plan. It was recommended that
particular attention be paid to analysis of
the effect upon the financial status of living
organizations, effect on social development
of the individual student, and the effect of
the plan on training students for individual
leadership.
Heading the new group will be Charles
R. Holloway '35, Portland. Other ap-
pointees include:
Ivan McKinney '23, Portland; Mrs. Mel-
ba Hess '25, Portland; C. Earl Walter '47,
Portland; Ray E. Vester '21, Portland;

She Enjoys Teaching
Since her graduation from the University
of Oregon in 1926, Miss Juliette Claire Gib-
son has taught English, creative writing and
journalism at Eugene high school, and
hundreds of her former students have
graduated from the University in those
years.
Her room in the high school is filled with
momentos left by the various classes, most
of them dealing with the ever-popular study
of Shakespeare, a phase of the English in-
struction. Crossed swords, shields with
coats of arms, models of Macbeth's three
witches?these are some of the things that
make this room look like anything but the
traditional bare-walled classroom. She ad-
mits that sometimes the things make her
nervous, but the students like them so they
keep on accumulating.
She enjoys her senior English classes,
which are put at a college-preparatory level,
but admits that her pets are the creative
writing and newswriting classes, because
"you can actually see them getting some-
April 1951
where." Currently, she's glowing about a
student who's had an article published in
the February issue of Seventeen.
The EHS Neivs, of which she is adviser,
is put out by the newswriting classes under
her direction; the paper has won high
honors in state high school competitions on
numerous occasions during her stay.
Held just a little bit in awe by some of
her students, she has a policy of being firm
but fair. College instructors who get her
students think the policy pays off. And her
former students find that she's done even
more for them than they at the time realized.
She faces about 135 students each class
day, and of late has also taught student
teachers from the University's education
school.
At the University she majored in journal-
ism, minored in drama and English, and
did some acting. She was, she says, "bam-
boozled into education" her senior year,
which made it possible for her to take her
present job at Eugene high just after gradu-
ation from the University.
"Somebody told me that teaching would
be a good idea," she recalls and succeeding
classes of high school students have bene-
fitted from that someone's urgings.

Has Book Published
A Western story set in Eastern Oregon

written by Wayne D. Overholser '34, just
published by the Macmillan company.
Before devoting full time to writing,
Overholser taught school for many years
at Tillamook junior high school and Bend
high school. He has traveled throughout the
Western states and gathered pioneer lore
which he has used for background in the
nearly 200 Western stories, novelettes and
detective stories he has had published in
the last 10 years.
His first full length book, "Buckaroo's
Code," was published by Macmillan in
1947; "West of the Rimrock" in 1949;
"Draw or Drag" in 1950. His latest, "Steel
to the South," is a story of competing rail-
road interests brawling to gain property
rights for a railroad through central Oregon
to California.
Overholser has taken graduate work at
the University of Montana and University
of Southern California. He is a member of
the Oregon Historical Society and the Colo-
rado Authors' League. He is married, living
with his wife and three young sons in
Boulder, Colorado.

"Address Detectives"
To assist the Alumni Office in obtaining
correct addresses for Oregon alumni scat-
tered throughout the United States, a new
organization to be known as the "Address
Detectives" has been formed by the Alumni
Office.
The "Detectives" are located in key cities
throughout the United States and are sent
lists of alumni to be checked periodically
for correct addresses. More than 400 "de-
tectives," mostly women, are being recruit-
ed for this activity.

CLASSES
We think you'll agree that keeping track of the doings of some 30,000 Oregon alumni
is no easy task. That's why we're asking you for help. You can be our "local reporter"
with your own activities and those of your alumni friends and neighbors as your special
"beat."
Not only are we interested in the usual vital statistics?marriages, engagements,
births, deaths?but many other items as well. Have you taken any trips lately? What's
your family doing? Have you seen any of your classmates lately? What kind of a job do
you have? Answers to these and other questions will make for interesting reading by
your classmates when they glance through the pages of OLD OREGON.

Old Oregon
"The smartest move I ever made"
LARRY GRAEBER and family, San Bernardino, Calif.
These University of Oregon men are
New England Mutual representatives:
Dean H. Connaway '37, Portland
Mortimer E. Bonime '50, Portland
They can give you expert counsel on uniquely liberal and flexible New
England Mutual life insurance that's tailored to fit your family's needs.
The NEW ENGLAND MUTUAL
Life Insurance Company of Boston
1 ENTERED Naval Aviation in 1940, served as a fighter
pilot in the Solomon Islands campaign, and contin-
ued flying for the Navy after the war. But in 1947
I was stricken with polio. My flying days were over.
In my search for a new career I took a number
of adaptability tests, which indicated that salesman-
ship was a possibility for me. I investigated many
businesses, including life insurance, and discovered
that here was a field that required no capital, yet
gave me a business of my own ? something I had
always dreamed of having.
It takes a lot of training to become a good fighter
pilot, or a good life insurance man. So I began look-
ing for a company with a thorough training program.
I decided that New England Mutual offered its men
the finest program in the field, and backed them up
with personal help and solid advertising support*.
I entered the life insurance business with New
England Mutual ? the smartest move I ever made.
It gave me independence and unlimited earning pos-
sibilities. The future looks good, because each year
I expect to make more money than the year before.
If I want to go hunting, I don't have to ask anyone
(except my wife). If I need more income, I must
work a little harder, and it seems I always need more
money and am working harder and loving every
minute of it.
Recent graduates of our Home Office training course,
although new to the life insurance business, earn averaoe
first-year commissions of $4200?which, with renewal com-
missions added, brings the total yearly income average to
$6500. From here, incomes rise in direct proportion to each
individual's ability and industry.
If you'd like information about a career that gives you a
business of your own, with no slow climb up a seniority
ladder and no ceiling on earnings, write Mr. H. C. Chaney,
Director of Agencies, 501 Boylston Street, Boston 17, Mass.
The New England Mutual, America's
first chartered mutual life insurance
company, backs up its field force with
strikingly effective national advertis-
ing. This advertisement, appearing
currently in The Saturday Evening Post
and Fortune (in full color), and in
Time, Newsweek and Business Week,
tells millions of prospects about the
advantages and flexibility of New
England Mutual policies, and urges
them to consult our field men for ex-
pert help on life insurance problems.
