These she takes screens all factual material for Now and then a person of Independence, Missouri and Se- to various writer-workshops to accuracy. achievement and fame comes and goes in a community and few are aware of his contribu- tion. Such a lady became known to the HERALD some weeks ago. Does the name Mrs. Arthur Julesberg bring to your mind a delightful, warm person whom you have met at some commu- nity activity or in the daily busifless of appointed rounds? On the other hand, in schools and libraries, the name Eliza- beth Rider Montgomery is recognized as the author of Textbooks, Juvenile Non-Fic- tion and Fiction and Playwrite of some acclaim. Almost everyone has met Elizabeth Montgomery through her primary readers. If you have not read "We Look and See," "We Work and Play," and "We Come and Go',, then quite probably your children or grandchildren have introduced you to Dick, Jane, Spot, Puff, Mother and Father. The 17 word vocabulary al- lotted to the first book, while not engrossing to adults has brought the world of the writ- ten word into reality for many children. Elizabeth Montgomery was born in Huaras, Peru where her Father was a missionary teach- attic, and had, as she grew up. every intention of being an ar- tist. Writing was an interest also and she claimed her first literary prize as the author of an essay on "The Good and Bad Uses of the Apple" in a contest sponsored by the WCTU -- she was six at the time. Still hoping to be an artist, Elizabeth Montgomery attend- ed WWSC and UCLA where she received her degree in Educa. tion. At the same time she corn tinued to write short stories and win contests. When she began teaching she found the text- books for small people not to her liking and here her course of life began to change. Working at odd and unlikely hours in the teacher's lounge, on the only typewriter at her disposal, Elizabeth Montgo- mery began to create children's books. It was a long slow road to publication of her first book --seven years -- and, many miles of rejection letters. Pain- ful as they may be to an author these letters are a thing from which profit can be obtained. Some publishers are kind enough to include constructive criticism which is beneficial. In fact, Elizabeth Montgomery has a book of her rejection let- ters dating from 1930 to the W.S. Lodge Installs John G.'

The retiring Master George B. Carlsen will give the address of welcome. The following brethern will officiate as installing officers: W. B. Del McLees and W. B. George L. Devenny. They will be assisted by W. Bros. Waino A. 'Devenny Junior Warden; W. B. Charles E. Callow, Trea- surer: and W. B. Allan G. Fletcher Jr., Secretary. Appointive officers for the year will be Bros.

Thomas T. Lanman Sr., provide courage for aspir- ing authors. The first actual "sale" for Elizabeth Montgomery was a four-line greeting card verse. In 1938, Scott Foresman pub- lishing firm offered her a con- tract to write primers. This was the beginning of a 20 year association that saw books from "We Look and See' to the health series which is used in many schools. Her other works have includ- ed a series "The Story Behind" and has featured, among oth- ers "The Story Behind Great Books" and "The Story Behind Great Inventions," these have been published by Dodd Mead. Ires Washburn has published two of her Juvenile Fiction books, "Tide Treasure Camp- er" and "Two Kinds of Cour- age," as well as "Toward Democracy," a non - fiction work. At present, Elizabeth Mont- gomery is writing for the Gar- rard Publishing Company, work- ing on historical Juvenile Non- Fiction. These she has great enthusiasm for, as they bring the lives and times of well- known people to youngsters in a factual and absorbing man- ner. Each of these books is writ- ten for a certain grade level and is limited in total words. The most recent on "Chief Joseph, Guardian of His People" was written for the 3rd and 4th grade level and was limited to an 8,000 word content.This type of writing requires much time, effort, and research. Sometimes 5 or 6 different books must be read in addition to checking other resource areas. She is able to do this through her self-taught ability to skim quickly and concen- trate to the exclusion of all else. No matter how thorough her research, Garrard maintains a "Fact Checker" who carefully In all, Elizabeth Rider Mont- gomery has had 51 books pub- lished and some plays. "All Kinds of People" was her first produced play, being done by the West Seattle Drama Club, in 1950. She has written many others, some of which have received both local and national prizes and honors. For many years, Elizabeth Montgomery was very active in the community. She was a church trustee, Sunday School Teacher, youth group sponsor, and Women's Fellowship Presi- dent at the Alki Congregational Church. And she has been a Cub Den mother, assistant Girl Scout leader, president of the Youth Symphony Board, Music Camp Councilor, President of the Seattle Free Lances. She also was very active in the PTA, Community Club and the Friends of the Library. On November 20, Elizabeth Montgomery shared the spot- light with Judge Long at the annual Friends of the Library dinner where they were honored for their literary contributions. In addition to having raised a son and a daughter, both of whom are married, and her writing and community activi- ties -- Elizabeth Montgomery is still an active and talented artist. Her water colors deco- rate her home as do her hand- braided rugs which fill the rooms. She also has an abiding interest in antiques and antique restoring, and she has done the needlepoint for several chairs. In her "spare" time Mrs. Julesberg helps her husband Arthur with their Laundromat enterprise, keeping all the fi- nancial records, and at one time was even the janitorial serv- ice. For rest and relaxation, the Julesbergs and their camp- er head for the wilderness and peace and quiet.
