I made speeches, went into rural communities and talked to the women for after all the women in many districts who take care of both the cows and the milk. Their cooperation and influence were necessary if we were to put over our program. I appeared before the Legislature in behalf of the which was finally passed, with thej group of traveling librarians, down In Leslie County, Kentucky, is th most fascinating.

Here, as many people know, sur vive old-country customs, relics ot pioneer days, bits of folk tare songs, and sayings; and here exists a shyness, as literally a part of these people as the rarefied mountain air they breathe. And they want and they'll work hard to get it, swapping anything from garden truck, the last litter of pigs, or a prized flock of hens, if by so doing little John or Jane can be assured of the precious "bok-rarnin." It is like a tale of other days Deep back in these mountains of Kentucky, gaunt men scorn modern methods of transportation if, indeed, they've been far enough outside to see anything of them Roads are impassable half the time and the customary paths are the dry beds of streams. So the Relief Administration has put women on horseback to carry books to the people of the hills. Epic in its simplicity, this countryside. A one-room cabin serves great areas as schoolhouse, community center, meeting house, church, and polls.

It is to these isolated cabins that the riders come with their load ol books to leave and exchange. It's a hard job that takes plenty ol common sense and a great store of courage. The pack-horse librarian goes splashing Hell-fer-Sartain Creek. Four of them start togeth er. At Devil's Jump Branch the eavalcade divides.

Each rider goes on alone. These four women cover some fifty-seven mountain schools and communities, their library of five hundred volumes divided so that each book reaches each place once during its tour of duty. Behind this glimpse of library work there is another story. One of the most important projects de veloped for the employment of un skilled women is the reconditioning of public-library and school books. Reports from twenty-nine states show a total of 2,097,112 volumes restored to circulation as a result of book-repair projects.

The value of this work is estimated at 771 and the cost at $821,900. Thus for every twenty-eight cents spent, a dollar in book value is created, Some six thousand women are employed on library and museum projects in forty-six states. Some are trained librarians, some are women with clerical experience, and others are menders of books, Among the projects listed as un der way at this time, under the di rection of the Women's Division are: nursing, nutrition and public-health campaigns, recreation and safety, visiting house-keepers and housekeepers' aids (it is surprising what an enterprise this is becoming, and how enormous is the value of having trained practical women turn their experience into simple helpful lessons to others), handi craft, research, music, dramatics, library service; museum service and the development and repair of museum exhibits, and the like. "Unemployment and unhappiness are synonymous our program aims to end both," said Mrs. Woodward.

"And the important part of it all is that we're working togeth- "Today we know we cannot live er to do it. without planning the health, care, education, and recreation of all the people, nor without making a measure of security possible to all."

HAGGARD, PERSONALITIES Ellen S. Woodward Director, Woman's Work Division, Works Progress Administration By Margaret Christie in HOLLAND'S MAGAZINE Red-headed. Dynamic. Radiat ing personality. Yet so true a daughter of the South that, unless someone else told you about her, or you were fortunate enough to see her in action, you'd just never be lieve that beneath that charm of manner, behind that just-tubbed- and-ready-to-go-to-the-party ex quisiteness, there is one of the first jyomen executives in the country today.

This is Mrs. Ellen S. Woodward, whom is due the credit for fin- illy disposing of the myth that women can get along somehow, they always have a nest to tfhich to retire or someone to vhom to turn when life becomes coo strenuous. When Mrs. Wood-: ward took on the job of adminis tering relief for women there was and up to that time there had oeen no national cogmzance oi distress, nor national agency up to deal with this problem, Today, slightly more than two later, Mrs.

Woodward can point with pride to the fact that iie majority of both men and wo-nen certified for relief are work ing. And it is this lovely Southern voman who has been made Direc of Woman's Work in the vast pur-Diuion-cioiiar wra program, ma wno says Diitneiy, as ner re- are doubled: "Just hink of having a chance really to jet something done about the very hings you've been Interested in all our lire, it marveious.

'Mt's getting done, too, much of And the speaker picked jp a shrilling telephone, nodded to secretary whose wigwaggin head ndicated some urgency in the puter citadel. A power indeed is hers. She has idded another chapter to the long of economic freedom for wo men. But let no one imagine that his job fell into untrained hands. Not at all.

Ellen Woodward has been at work in the service of her ountry; and more particularly in 2ie service of her beloved state of Mississippi almost as many years as she can count which xunds like a base exaggeration, but which, like the Irishman's tory, has its elements of truth, You see, her mother died when she was seven; and her father being a lawyer, she followed him wherever and whenever she could and that was frequently to court. "It was a great beginning of an 3ducation," as she tells it, for here she found her always ready sympathies aroused, and as a small girl began to ponder upon the dif ficulties of humanity. Not that she was a serious child, Oh, dear, no. She lived the ap parently gay and irresponsible life that has given, out of its under currents of noblesse oblige, so many fine men and women to the nation. School days led 'to, high school and on to college.

Art, with a big led her questing eye. Music took firm hold on a fertile imagination. But like lots of others, she gave it all up to marry a struggling young attorney, beget a son of her own, and in time to turn her rapidly developing executive instinct toward the solution of the local problems of community living. "Oh, yes, I was born in the South." No other tongue in. the world can inflect that word so lovingly.

Ellen Sullivan Woodward if, no exceptionshe is a true daughter of the Old South, and the word sings on her tongue. She was born at Oxford, Missis sippi, daughter of the late William V.

Small wonder that service for her country is in her blood. After her marriage, which took her to Louisville, Mississippi, she began those social experiments which have given her so firm a founda tion for the work she now heads. To Ellen Woodward is due the credit for the organization of the first City Beautiful Association in her part of the country. She aroused the interest of all the various groups and organizations in the improvement of town conditions, and the association that resulted became an outstanding example of what community cooperation can accomplish. And it was during this work "actually trying to make the old town over," to quote her exactly so many practical experiments were tried out.

"There was an old frame school house that had been abandoned in favor of brick. We took that, re paired it, carefully preserved the original architectural design, and made it into an attractive com munity house, with room for all the varied activities, discussion groups, and so on. "But you don't want all this old stuff This all happened years ago." Mrs. woodwaras smile was contagious, not to say a bit mocking, as I gravely assured her that people are indeed very much in terested in knowing "how it all came about," how she attained that wide comprehension which directs planning of today's work, how she could and did get so many 'projects" started. The fundamental purpose of the Woman's Division of the Works Progress Administration is to take off the relief rolls women who are jualified to work, and put them at useful tasks.

Such a measure naturally includes many reconstruction plans. It's a matter of human resuscitation. Relief first. Then a job. "Permanently unemployable" is a sinister phrase bespeaking a condi' tion to be fought with every avail' able weapon.

As there are two hundred and fifty occupational classifications represented by) the women on the relief rolls, some idea of the task may be gleaned "We have endeavore dto work out a practical solution for each problem, in so far as is possible; to carry on projects which will lift their morale, improve their skill and bring back into self-support and a dignified place in their communities hundreds of thousands of bread-winners who, through no fault of their own, have been fore cd to depend upon public relief for the actual necessities of subsiS' tence," explained Mrs. Woodward. There's no such thing as a measured day in Ellen Woodward's day. Hours don't count. Ayn time at all you'll find her planning" gigantic jobs.

And a natural business instinct has stood her in good stead and added materially to the financial resources of her state. That Mis sissippi is "tick free" is almost en ue to her efforts. And when realize what this means in terms of wholesome, fresh milk and clean milk sheds, you won't be surprised at the animation with which this thoroughly feminine Director of WPA's Woman's Work tells "how, we made Mississippi tick free. "You see, the prevalence of ticks was a very serious situation in the state at that time," she said. "While some people were willing to dip their cattle you know those big dipping vats they build all the people were not so willing; and until they were, the state could not be considered tick free.

"CHOOSE result that Mississippi was among the tick-free states. "It was not just that we were in terested in getting rid of ticks. The ultimate goal was pure, clean milk which not only served as a protection to tne health of our people but also attracted the large milk-manufacturing companies to our state. The result today is that all the major companies have plants in Mississippi. And the new industry brought employment to hundreds of men and women.

"We were running a rural-re habilitation program down in Mis' sippi in "29," she smiled, as she enumerated a variety of civic de velopments she's had her finger in It was after the passing of her husband that Mrs. Woodward threw herself heart and soul into public work. She ran for and was glected to a place in the Mississippi Legislature. It was a tough fight. Only one woman had ever held similar place in that state; but Ellen Woodward, slight, sensitive, and determined, had an ace in the hole.

'Td spoken in every one-room schoolhouse in the state on some civic matter or other," she said. "All the women and almost all the men knew me. "I went to the legislature very modestly proud, to be sure, that I had been elected by my people-but conscious of my responsibility, not only to them but to all womankind," she said; "because I felt if I served well, I might open the way for other women." During her term Mrs. Woodward enjoyed the friendship of and a close working relationship with the "big four" of the House: respec tively, the Speaker of the House, and the chairmen of Appropria' tions, Judiciary, and Ways and opportunity was thus afforded her Means committees. An amazing to really learn "how the wheels go round." From that point on, her achieve ments in her own state provided ample abekground for the work upon which she now engages.

She became director of civil development of the Mississippi State Board of Development, and in 1929 became executive secretary of that organization; served as executive secretary of the Research CommiS' sion of Mississippi, as a member of the Executive Committee of the Mississippi State Board of Public Welfare, and as the only woman member of the Board of Trustees of the Mississippi Children's Home Society; and for six years directed the State Better Homes Campaign, So it is that Mrs. Woodward has an exceptional store of practical information about mo st of the matters which touch the lives, of people. And she has a statesmanlike grasp of the methods which will set machinery in motion for the bettering of conditions. She posseses (that last final complement of an executive, the ability to know what to leave undone and when. 1 When she discusses the six years spent as Director of the State Bet ter Homes Campaign how they built a Community House and cre ated a public park, all by volunteer effort you realize how detailed her training has been: conservation of natural resources, industrial resources, industrial develop ment, and always the development of the individual.
