I Betty Smith Atmosphere Of South Helps Northerii WriteF By JACK CREECH "If I hadn't come to the Soujjh, I doubt if I would have ever written A Tree Grows in Brooklyn,' " writer Betty Smith said as she began to reminisce about her early years in 'New York. ; " ' Mrs." Smith has lived in the South for 25 years, spending most of her time in Chapel Hill where she lives now. "It never occurred to me that all of the world wasn't poor, that there could be a better life. The buildings in New York and the fast pace dis tressed me. Once I lost a nickel for the subway and had to walk for hours till mother came to pick me up. Here in the South the people are better, mannered and the way of life i$ easier," she said. In the South Mrs. Smith felt she could write about her ex periences in Brooklyn a,nd "make them like they should be." Audits Courses While her husband was at tending law school at the Uni versity of Michigan, Mrs. Smith was able to audit courses there. "I became especially interested in playwriting," she explained. Upon winning the Avery' Hop wood Award for her manuscripts Mrs. Smith enrolled in the writing program. Later she came to UNC on a Rockefeller grant and worked with the Carolina Playmakers. "I used to write one-act plays but I like novels much better. I can be completely by myself with no deadlines to meet and no , one - telling me what to write." . "One time when I was quite young I took great pleasure copying the print from a cow boy story into my own writing. I used to call it 'my book,' " she recalled. "I kept a notebook with the good things that happened to me during the day on one side of the page and the bad things on the other. I used to see if the two columns would balance out. And once when mother scolded me I realized that she must have been a child once and Moreliead-? (Continued from, Iage 1) High School; John L.

"It takes constant work and a strong ability to put yourself in an other's position. I never could write an outline. "My characters develop as I write. Often I'll write one page on the first day and then re write it on the second day. You must make a mood to write, not be in one." Mrs. Smith wrote for a time in an isolated fishing cabin near Nagshead. "I rose at daybreak and began to write. The sound of the sea and the wind kept me for getting lonely, and I really loved to write there." i Mrs. Smith says that William Faulkner is the most important of the 20th century authors. ''His long sentences are hard to tackle but tie has a great deal to say. The best book I've ever read was 'Crime and Punish ment,' and I think I'd most like to write like EmUe'Zola." "I never wrote for the critics but studied the" bad reviews as well as the good ones," she said, smiling. "I remember pne New York critic who said 'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn' was 'looking at garbage, through rose-colored glasses.' "He said I had shown the poverty but hadn't shown a yray out of it. Well, I don't have any thesis to make the world bet ter. I don't fejel cpmpetent to help, and correct all the wrongs. I simply swim around in them." Today Caleikdar '.v.?'.
