The Sklyand Post A PRIZE-WINNING NEWSPAPER California Peaches Come To N. C.

M. Wiles, New York City, told mp a sitory the other day about his sister who unwittingly used the most valuable technique in accomplishing her aim. No doubt you. too, have unwitting ly used just the right method im persuading someone to do what you want done. Often, in tuition or instinct prompts the right method. Miss Wiles is on the staff of the fine arts department of the University of Chicago. Among her duties i9 that of staging ex hibits. But she doesn’t always find exactly what she wants for her exhibits, nor can she always persuade the owner to let her have the art she wants when she does find it. This was the case this year She wanted to build her exhibit around three unusual pieces of sculpture. The university owned copies of all three of these pieces but a copy isn’t the same thing as an original and it would lend ever so much more importance to the exhibit to display origin-! als. I The sculpton is an elderly man, and no doubt over the course of years had not found it ■ wise to let his originals be on exhibit. Or so it would seem, for tie didn’t take kindly to the re quest. But Miss Wiles has that all— important trait, perseverance. She decided to go to see the ar fist in person, sc she went all the way to Detroit and arriving there made an appointment wHV the artist. Before the interview, she was shown through the artist's studio and was thrilled by what she saw. Finally came the mo ment for her “five-minute” in terview. Five minutes? Why. that inter view lasted two hours, with the result that the three pieces of sculpture she wanted were loan ed1 to her, and the artist himself appeared on opening day with three of his friends. Maybe that wasn’t a triumph for Miss Wiles! ■What had she done? She had evidenced genuine interest in the artist's work; she had been a good listener and had encour ! aged him to talk about his work. That was all. And that was enough! Appreciation works wonders, miracles. (Advertismentl Well Again! Well Known Carroll County j Lady Praises Dr. Rur nett’s “New Medicine.” MRS.
