She’s Got More Jobs Than Anybody
By PAQUTTA FINE
In 1958 Louis Graves wrote a
column praising the calibre of
workers in Chapel Hill, but de
ploring the difficulty in locating
such help. The column was the
inspiration for Mrs. Grace Stew
art Sutorius to set up the first
and only private employment
Agency in Orange County.
With a telephone and a small
filing cabinet, she went into busi
ness in her home. “I only had
25 names on file when I first
began,” she said. “Now I have
2,500. The business really got
under way when Helene Ivey
wrote an article on the new ven
ture and Lucy Street added my
business card to the portfolio she
gives newcomers for the Chapel

Hill Welcoming Service. I could
write a book on some of the
things I am told in performing
this service, some amusing, some
tragic, but always with the hum
an interest element. There is
one thing for sure: operating an
employment agency is the best
way of becoming acquainted with
a community, its people and
their problems.
“Sometimes I get a feeling of
being almost psychic in this
business—or perhaps it’s like be
ing a ‘medium’ between two
people who are trying to contact
each other. I may get a call
from a man who needs the type
of employee I don't even have
listed in my files. Yet, within a
few minutes or more, a person
seeking just that type of employ
ment may come by the office to
fill out an application.”
Although Mrs. Sutorius began
her agency primarily as a ser
vice for those seeking domestic
help or work, she has gradually
branched out to meet a demand
for secretaries, clerks, reception
ists, and other specialized talent,
such as former nurses’ aides and
orderlies who might be of service
to patients who are convalescing
at home.
Domestic supply and demand
still forms the backbone of her
business. "For instance,” she
says, “a new intern or resident
may move here, and his wife al
so plans to work. If they have
children, they immediately con
tact me to locate a maid for
them. On the other hand, it may
be an elderly couple just retired
here who need a yardman or a
carpenter. 1 usually select three
or four people for prospective
employers to interview so that
the choice is theirs. All em
ployees registered in my files
have health cards and at least
two references. If a person I
have placed in a position wants
MRS. SUTORIUS
to make a change almost im
mediately, I try to discover the
reason so the same mistake won’t
be repeated. When this does hap
pen, I usually find it is because
the employee failed to ask what
his duties would be or what the
salary would be. Actually, I sel
dom get complaints.”
'Mrs. Sutorius feels that Chapel
Hill is like a magnet: “So many
people want to come here to
work and live, that I get applica
tions for jobs from people all
over the State. Ido my best for
them, but 1 don't particularly en
courage them since there are
already so many here who are
seeking work. There are excep
tions, though. For instance, few
domestic helpers want to work
through the supper hour, yet this
is one of the most frequent re
quests I have from working wives
who are too tired to cook and
wash dishes after a bus# day at
the office. Domestic workers
who have formed car pools in
Pittsboro and Apex have no ob
jections to staying through this
meal, since one or more in the
pool may have hours that mean
the others are going to have to
wait a while anyway.”
A native of Clearfield, Pa.,
Grace Stewart enjoyed basket
ball, tennis, and golf as a young
ster; but the piano was always
her main love. She chose Ober
lin College in Ohio with its con
servatory of music.
After graduating from Oberlin,
she taught kindergarten in Grand
j Rapids. “Then I went to Hawaii
I where I taught for a year,” she
said. “Mostly I taught English
to Japanese, Portuguese. Chin
ese, Filipino, and Hawaiian chil
dren. The school was located in
a plantation community, and I
loved every minute there. I
think I must have been born with
the dream of someday going to
Hawaii; my anticipations were
no greater than the realization.
Hie Hawaiian Islands are virtu
ally a melting pot of the world's
population. Contact with the vari
ous nationalities made me feel
that the only hope for the world
lies in mutual understanding. If
this understanding could be
achieved on these islands, it
seems that it could be done in
other places and by the rest of
the people, too.”
Mrs. Sutorius left Hawaii for
a tour of Europe before returning
to the United States to teach
kindergarten and first and sec
ond grades in Plainfield, New
Jersey.
She met her future husband,
Seyrffour A. Sutorius, an invest
ment businessman, while on a
visit to New York City. His hob
by was dramatics, at which he
excelled as an actor. After their
marriage, Mrs. Sutorius took
part in her husband's hobby. In
fact, she has never quite gotten
over the night that her husband
was giving a reading from “Ham
let”’ and she got the announce
ment cards mixed, leaving him
to cover up her mistakes as best
he could. "Fortunately for me.
THE CHAPEL HILL WEEKLY
he hadsense of humor,” she
ntrs. Sutorius ’> hobbies have
always Wn reading and attend
ing lectures. During the early
years of her marriage, her busy
role as a wife and the mother
of two sons did not keep her
from attending lectures at Town
Hall in New York. She was also
Captain of a Red Cross canteen,
as well as a member of the Lea
gue of Women Voters, the Wom
an’s Club, and various advisory
committees for the community
of Man has set, N Y. After her
husband's death 13 years ago,
she served as correspondence
analyst for the Condensed Book
Club. When her two sons be
came students at the University
here, she decided to leave all
the snow and ice behind and come
to Chapel Hill to live. That was
six years ago. She now owns
home in Sherwood Foresi jAjLjjRI
an office on N. Columbia Street
for her Community Service Em
ployment Agency which she op
erates alone. Because one son
now lives in Raleigh and the
other lives in New York, she has
tentative plans to move into Town
so that she will be closer to her
w-ork and her files, particularly
since she often gets night calls
from some prospective employer
who has an immediate need: a
mother may have been taken sud
denly ill, and the father may
need emergency help with the
children.
Mrs. Sutorius is past vice
president of the Community Club,
past member of the Altrusa Club,
and a member of the Association
for the Aging and Community
Relationships.
Seven New Rose
Varieties Will Be
Available In Fall
Bv M. E. GARDNER
Seven new rose varieties will
be available this fall: Traviata,
Swathmore, Clair Matin, Snow
Fairy, Sincere, Pillar of Fire
and Candy Stripe. By the names,
perhaps, you have guessed that
they were developed by French,
Spanish and American breeders.
Traviata is a large, fragant
hybrid tea with unusual petal
coloring bright red blending
into white or cream at the base
of the petals. Swithmore, an
other hybrid tea. with red Bow
ers. Snow Fairy, u floribunda, is
reported to lie a heavy produc
er of small white flowers.
Sincera, a hybrid tea, is a
vigorous medium-height grower
with pure white flowers. Pillar
of Fire, as the name implies, is
a pillar type with strong canes
producing bright coral-red flow
ers. Candy Stripe, another hy
brid tea, is a bud sport of Pink
Peace. Deep pink flowers are
produced, striped and streaked
at random with off-white or
very light pink. A vigorous grow
er.
If you would like to try some
of these new sorts, I will be hap
py to supply you with on address
for a source of plants.
Rose plants in the Raleigh area
are now passing through what is
commonly referred ill. as be
tween-the-seasons of YjSVavy
bloom. A sort of reSOjj/nod.
This usually lasts for about a
month. This is the time when
plants are most likely to be
neglected as far as spray or
dust programs are concerned.
Keep your plants protected at
all times against the ravages ol
disease and insect pests.
Some seasonal reminders. Pro
tect tomato plants against blight
by spraying with Manzate or
Dithane M 22. For mildew on
crepe myrtle use Mildex as a
spray or dusting sulphur as a
dust. For lace bugs on azalea,
rhododendron and pyracantha
use Sevin. Divide and replant
iris and deylilies if you have not
already done so. If your daffo
dills need lifting and dividing
(once every three years) do this
without delay. Hope you have al
ready accomplished this because
I reminded you earlier about it.
