By the Way
Blaine

The young woman entirely re-
sponsible for the weekly radio
programs now on the air under
the sponsorship of the Planned
Parenthood Association Of the
District of Columbia (and the
Maryland League) is Mrs. John
B. Martin, jr., wife of the acting
director of the national Office of
Civilian Defense.
A volunteer worker. Mrs. Mar
tin says that she is really an
amateur in radio although her
hours of radio work would stack
up with those of a good many
paid professionals.
How do you keep these pro-
grams going, and still have them
so different and interesting each
time?" we asked Mrs. Martin.
MY chief merit" she replied
sis that I never have any trou-
BILE thinking of something to say.
I've been interested in the work
of planned parenthood clinics for
so long that I have enough ma
terial in my files for a thousand
programs"
She keeps the programs simple
and informal, discussing each
time one phase of planned par
enthood such as maternal health,
child welfare, women in indus
try or the serviceman's family.
Sometimes the script is in the
form of an interview with a we'll
known doctor, question and
answers program or a dramatic
skit with human interest story
taken from case history.
A native Of Oklahoma. Mrs.
Martin graduated from Vassar
College and later attended the
VaSsar summer school for
mothers and children. In her
ung-girl college days she be-
gan writing and She has kept it
up regularly ever writing
feature articles for newspapers
and magazines. After her mar
riage she and her husband made
their home in Ohio until the war
brought them to Washington.
They have three charming
children and Mrs. Martin says
she does all her child care and
home nursing right in her own
home. The fact that she does
it very, very well is attested to
by the pink cheeks and bright
eyes OF the three little Martins,
who are all the picture of health.
% Mrs. Martin has taken both the
Red Cross canteen course and
the standard Red Cross home
nursing course here in Washing
ton. She is an excellent athlete,
loves figure skating in winter and
tennis in summer and she and
her husband belong to waltzing
group and both like square dane
ing.
In short, Mrs. Martin says, they
like their activities strenuous.
And judging from the amount OF
work both do, they must like
their work that way, too!
