Friendliness Idea Brought Her Success Diminutive Karlin Director Says Friendly Dualities Helped Her Along, New York.—It takes a lot of friendliness to be program director |of a radio station and, at the same time, ho’1 down the dull* s of radio editor of a large metropolitan news pH per. At. least, that's Margaret Sentry's idea—and the proof that her Idea is workable is maintained ny her unusual success For this youthful Jersey City maid, who pioneered in radio wtien radio was just advancing out of the crystal t.et stage, has decided ideas about her work on the air. Being Friendly. ‘'I've often been told," Miss Sen try remarked, "that the best way to get along with folks is just to be friendly. And. believe me, It's a doggoned good idea. For I've tried my best to be as friendly as possible with everyone I meet—and that's the reason why I'm able to get peo ple to broadcast on my programs who would ordinarily insist upon very large fees If they worked on commercial hours." "I'm a great believer in femi nism,” continued this five-foot-two inch disciple of womanhood lor ever, "and that's why I like to get women who have been successful, to broadcast on my programs. I be lieve that a woman can even be married still pursue a certain defi nite career. She doesn't have to write, or be artistic, or anything like tha* . at all. But she can do things outside her immediate home circle, if she wanted to, and be quite successful at It, if she chose to be. “When I first went intr radio work It was as publicity director for a Y. W. C. A. in New York. I then tried to get over a message to my public and .at the same time keep them so amused that the medicine of social welfare work, you might say, was sugar-coated by entertainment. And even now. I’m using the same principle, only I’m not discussing social welfare, but helping further tile cause of femi nism. “It was Professor James Melvin Lee, of New York university, who first taught me that my best meth od of approach today was to be de cidedly feminine. That if I ever wanted to get a newspuper job. be as feminine as possible—because, after all. editors are human. And, do you know, he certainly was right ! Yes, indeed!” Yes, indeed he was right, lor if ever a young lady is a living ex ample of the truth of her vfew’ points, it is this self-same Margar et Santry. And you’d say the same thing, too, if you ever saw the beautiful new studio her employers heve fixed up for her atop one of New York's largest skyscrapers, where daily, this hustling young damsel puts her visiting celebs through their places. What Margaret Likes. Margaret Santry is tiny—but likes tall men. She just dotes on per fumes—but they must be dainty in odor. Her greatest kick in Jlfe is having her mother tell hbw won derful she is. She likes people—and most people like her. She wears tight-fitting cloche hats all the time and thus hides t most beau tiful, close-cropped sheaf of blonde curls. She likes to talk, but she talks so well, you like to listen. And she gets countless numbers of letters from women all over the east, who write her their troubles— and she reads them all. And If she likes you well enough, she’ll let you call her “Peggy"—and everybody calls her that.

Likewise hla expected candidacy nas met with the general approval of us common folks, who constitute about ninety percent of the people. However in certain high places they have been extremely busy try tng to get some one else to run. The last time Peyton McSwain was a candidate for the senate 1 voted and worked against him, be cause a certain now high state of ficial told me that. It would never do to let McSwain go to the sen ate. Since that time I have lived tJ learn, to know, and to repent. I now know that McSwain has been a better friend to me than those whom I previously followed, and I know that he stands and will stand for the interest of the people. He cannot be told what to do, and that is why some people do not want him to be elected. Mr. Paul Webb is a fine man. 1 like him personally: but X am op posed to the crowd that put Mm out for the senate. If I am not mis-1 taken the people of this county are tired of having their legislative candidates selected just to please a few folks. We want a man to rep resent the people: not to do the bidding of some one else, or one who Is interested In getting his women folks In society. Mr. McSwain has not yet an nounced that he would be a candi date. But I believe that he will run, If the people will let him know that they expect him to get In this race. If he will not be a candidate, then we want to get some other good man to enter the race. There are a lot of things that need to be done in this county, and will not be done un less we put up the right men for of fice. Respectfully yours, P F. GRIGQ.

The people of Patterson Grove or ganised a community club last week. The county agent was called to the community for a meeting to help organize the club. This organization was discussed „rom all angles before the club was organized and Irom the discussions and the real bene fits a club of this kincl can render to a community the men freely sug gested the ojganization of the club. There were only men present at the meeting but the club voted to have their wives and children at these meetings. The following men were elected officers of the club: Mr. C. L. Put nam, pr"s.: J. S. Ware, vice-pres; Ray Williams, secretary; Charles P. Ware, Treas., and John Seism, chaplain. The club will meet once a month. The next meeting date was .set for March 13. I>airy School. This half day spent in the court house last Wednesday by the men of the dbunty who were present ex pressed their feeling as a few hours well wortli listening t the discus sion. Dr. A If. Kerr, chief oi dairy division department of agriculture, Raleigh, and Mr. F. R. Farnham, extension dairymar had charge of the meeting. The subjects that were discussed are: economical grain mixtures for North Carolina. How to reduce the cost of the dairy cow's ration, raising dairy calves, contagious abortion and its control. The subject of pasture tor Cleve land county was discussed b ' the group and the tuo above men stressed the need for a seven month pasture In our county Mr. Farn ham said, “we cannot plow up our old worn out hills nd sow blue grass and expect to get a good sod We should set aside’ one acre of the best lan^ we have for each cow we keep and try t~ get a blue grass sod, for it will he oui best winter pasture.” The two men stressed the subject of growing our own grain for our dairy ration. "live-at-home,” I would like to say that we are in a section through the piedmont counties here that most states and counties do not have ;he advantag es thn we do, we can grow our en tire grain hen. in the county for our cows. The ration that nas prov en most satisfactory for this state and is now called the North Caro lina ration, 4. 3, 2, 1. The ration is as follows: 400 lbs. corn merl, 300 lbs cotton seed meal, ”00 lbs. wheat bran, 100 lbs. ground oats and add 10 lbs. salt. The di ferent, kinds of roughage was discussed and decided that for Cleveland county alff Ita hay was one of the best to grow but would require special efforts, but ut the same time can be grown here in our county profitably. Lcspedeza nay can be grown and makes a good hay for cows. Soy been hay analysis the highest of all in protein and is an excellent hay for cows. I would say that soy bean'bay is the hay that we should sow this spring for our hay crop or part of It. I would sug gest sc* ing the laredo or some bean . that docs not have a coarse stem. Mung bean hay was recommendud as a good hay. Red clover also a good hay. Why not the reader of this article do more than read It, 11 you are not doing so, try some hay crop and tell your neighbors about some good crop and lets only use our wagon to haul our hay from the field to our barns and not haul It from the railroad stations, t- 4n "live-at-home.” - 4-H Club Work.
