BRYAN, Tex. Mrs. Lee j.
Rountree could teach Horatlo
Alger a thing or two.
Her life hasn't been a from
rags-to = riches saga, but her
transition was just as difficult
and far more unusual - from
sheltered housewife to agrees
sive civic leader and newspaper
publisher.
A quarter Of a century ago
she was catapulted into a career
when her husband dropped dead
on the floor of the Texas legis-
lature. Today, she still manages
the newspaper, The Bryan
Eagle, with a firm hand, and
despite her age takes pride in
her campaigns.
A current project is a chill
dren's educational foundation
fund. She hopes to improve the
good neighbor relations of the
United States and Mexico by
taking high school graduates
and giving them a year of train
ing in a Pan American univer-
sity of their choice.
eff we understand Latin
Americans better, We'll like
them BETTER" she says. 1--WE
collected money already for it.
I'm asking for a lot more. Asked
Jesse Jones for 500, 900. I'm no
piker."
Mrs. Rountree was born on a
ranch in Llano county. After her
marriage, she devoted her life
to becoming a good housewife.
When her husband died sud-
denly in 1923, she finished his
term in the legislature. Then,
although she had no experience
in business or newspaper work,
she decided to carry on for him
as publisher of The Bryan
Eagle. She owns controlling in
terest, but in the masthead of
the paper she lists herself as
managing Editor"
The paper grew under her
leadership. So did Bryan. The
paper is in a new building. Re
Gently it took the full leased
wire service of The Associated
Press. She has ordered a big
new modern press.
She has served as Texas vice
president of The National Edi-
torial Association, was an Off
Ger in the Texas Editorial As
ISOLATION, was the first woman
in Texas to become president of
a chamber of commerce, was
rendered a statewide tribute at
a banquet in Houston attended
by state leaders.
But she thinks in terms of the
future, not the past. She won't
tell her age Gas long as l have

or drink, and says she's one Of
the last women to wear white
%petticoats.
She prefers to mix with young
people because, she says, if she
associated with people her age,
"I'll begin to think like them,
and limp"
She still gets up every morn
ing at 6 a. M, goes to work,
writes a daily column called
"Pavement Pick-ups," handles
the mail, business details, back
shop, much of the editorial
work.
She loves football, and has at
