Proltfio Writer When Mrs. Martin's two boys were born she began writing thoughts which she felt other young mothers might find help ful. These branched off Into stories for boys. She sold dozens of children's stories to various magazines. She has retained book rights and may collect her stories Into book form at some future dale. Poems and essays followed. She will tell In her own words how her column began. It spread through number of New York state papers, then traveled with her to Long Beach, Cali fornia, where it was featured in the Long Beach Argus. But Mis. Martin did not give all her time to writing. She is a Gold Star Mother; vice-regent (when she left Long Beach) of the D. A. R.; president for two years of the Long Beach City College Patrons; certified for commendation for work on the Selective Service Board; district P.-T.A. officer, and contributing much volunteer war work. Mrs. Martin doesn't tell why she stopped writing her column, but we believe we can read be tween the lines of her letters, the clippings we have seen, and a hint found found in her first release. War Tragedy Felt She will tell News -Review readers. "There came a day when I decided to give up writing, every kind of writing, for the writing' seemed like a spring that had stopped welling up. Then we .came to Douglas Coun ty, where amid the green hills, the sound of a creek singing past our home, the quiet of the can yon, the friendly people, the urge to write came welling up again. And l suddenly missea me Mending Basket.'" we imagine tne spring or in spiration went dry that day In iw wnen young seeiey uougias Martin met a hero's death In the Battle of Midway. And while the scar still remains upon the molher's heart, the alchemy of rural Douglas County has brought certain healing which shows evidence In the deep sym pathy and understanding found in "Scraps From The Mending Basket." Inspiration Re-Born ' And the spring of Inspiration came welling forth again on last Father's day, when Mrs. Martin and she's very proud of It became a grandmother. And so Mrs. Martin finds she must write ; again and we're very happy about : It. i News-Review readers, we he-1 lleve, will find Inspiration In her column; will find comfort In trying times They will laugh at her whimsical humor, Joy in her simple pictures of rural Hie, will find lessons in her homely philosophy. There is nothing pre tentious about her column. In stead, It is Its simple structure that we find so pleasant. "Scraps From The Mending Basket" will appear daily on The News-Review's editorial page. We know our readers will be pleased. WANTED Young man desiring busi ness experience ond training in retail merchandising. Op portunity tor advancement.

New buildings, the telephones themselves, complex switching frames... an almost unbelievable amount of equipment had to be provided before the system could grow. And keep growing it must, to meet the needs of the growing West. We must spend millions of dollars to keep it expanding and improving. 4. When you make local tele phone call the cost averages less than a nickle. For those few pennies you hire a mighty servant... a bigifer ser vant than ever before.
