The WOMAN’S REPORTER By LEONA ANNE CLAMPITT

Nearly everyI’: ; one, I guess, has read Betty ■L; Smith’s first novel, “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn,” but I think very |H few know any- | thing about the B|f author. - There is a tree that grows in Brooklyn, the Tree of Heaven some people call it, and this tree has become the symbol for Betty Smith of the first 17 years of her life when she lived in the tenement guarded by the tree. She was born in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn in 1904, a street but a few blocks away from the street where she lays the scene of her novel She was one of three children of an Irish-German family, and 'like Francie in the book, spent her childhood in Brooklyn’s tenement district Her parents, John and Katherine Wehner, tried to spare their children much of the unhappiness which poverty can bring and to a large degree they succeeded. Miss Smith did not grow up to think of her hood with bitterness but with tender memories. Like Francie, who was able to translate everything into beauty, so Betty Smith’s life seems at all times to have been a happy one despite hardships. She went to the same places as Francie did—the junk dealers, the candy store, the bakery filled with people wanting the stale loaves of bread, she went

to the same over-crowded school, she said Mass at the same school. She knew the poverty that led Francie and her brother Neely to rummage among the ash cans for scrap that could be sold for • pennies to the junk man. She [ knew the delight o’s books and the deep sympathy for people that is evident in all of Francie’s thoughts. Miss Smith moved from Williamsburg while still a young girl. She was married at 17 and had two daughters before she was 19. Her marriage ended in divorce, and she was forced to support herself and her children. Ih spite of this, she managed to educate herself, attending the University of Michigan and then going to the Yale Drama School for a course in playwriting. After she had finished at Yale she worked on a Detroit newspaper as a seaBUY U.S. WAR BONDS

When sb > finally decided to write her no'e she found that all her time was . ring used so she arose an hour rlier in the mornings and wr a an hour a day for a year. Miss nith says, "It was like a diary, J put down all the things I remeri *red of Brooklyn.” Her effort. vere generously rewarded. Harper and Brothers bought' her nov the Literary Guild made it it September selection, 20th CenuryFox bought the screen rig s for $55,000. In August, 1943, the same month that her book becarr e famous, Miss Smith married Pvt. Joe Jones of the United States Army. She likes to write, her »■' ' interest is in the theater—: ?! to see plays but to work in fi theater. She loves children, degs and, cats, she likes popular sent i rnental songs and her favorite r ding is Shakespeare and the Bible. She has long dark hair, cle: blue eyes and a “wistful” look. “I always look sad,” she says, “I don’t know why. It feels easier o look that way.” The recipe comes this week from a friend over on I Salle st., Mrs. L. Parker, who 1 as at 2340.
