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

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.
