CORY of Main Street women For her
back yard contains 318 acres The
work for the farm loan association,
and other work for the Big Island
school board are casual tasks while
the farm is literally the big job.
But Susie Gibbons, an orphan, who
has certainly found success by either
mans or woman's measuring tape,
has accumulated opinions that Miss
Town-Bred or Miss CityBorn may
well ponder
AS to where q girl should seek sue
cess-"depends on what kind of back
bone the girl has," Miss Gibbons says
laconically. 'The real question is
whether the girl intends to make good,
not the size of the town that hap
pens to be her home"
And as to the qualities that have
made for her own success-"keeping
perpetually busy" is one part of the
prescription. Getting along well with
people is another essential ingredient
even for a farmer, though Miss Susie
Gibbons isn't conceited enough to
claim the credit due her. Instead she
explains: II have had my housekeep-
er fifteen years. She is an angel. My
farm manager has been here seven
years. My friends are veritable Gil
braltars. 1t seems to me the chief
tribute they've paid my father-who
was the best dad on earth-has taken
the form of watching my welfare"
But it's when she explains why she
couldn't be hauled or coaxed or driven
to life in the big city that Susie Glib
