If the want ads don't work out

Success in Radio Field
By Mary Margaret Mcbride
CnnduHfS En4a 1inG Radin Inter

by mary Mor9oret Mcorioe
Conducts Engaging Radio Inter-
views With Celebrities and
CHEEKY Chats on Every
thing Else Under the Sun.
What is the best preparation
for a career in radio?
Frankly. do not know the an
swer. I was a journalist and not
eager to go on the air at all when
I took my first radio job in 1884.
The depression had hit my writing
market. and 1t was desperation
that made me try broadcasting.
Chance and circumstance work
In all our lives, as my own expert
ence shows. Brought up In rural
Missouri, I worked my way
through the State university S
journalism school, started as q
cub reporter in Cleveland and
then came on to write for a New
York newspaper.
went on to magazine writing
and had many interesting assign
ments in Europe.
1t Is brash of me, who so often
falls short, to say what qualities
are needed to run a radio pro-
gram, but I can outline my own
ideal.
First comes sincerity. For some
reason, radio has an uncanny way
Of showing up a phony. If you
say only what you mean. and are
always yourself, your listeners will
be able to trust you.
Next comes a real interest in
people and an affection for them.
For the time you are on the air,
at least. you must be more inter-
ested in the person you are inter-
Evening star., 1949-12-11

you. Make . list Of the places
you think might be able to use
your help and then telephone to
find out the name Of the person
who does the hiring-and be sure
to get the correct spelling!
A neatly typed letter from you,
accompanied by a brief outline Of
your experience, If you've had
any, or a note of introduction
from some one known to the COM
pany, is the easiest way Of getting
in solid from the start.
Business people are generally
too busy to decipher handwriting
so If you possibly can. send a
typed note. Choose plain. white
stationery. even though 1t may
not express your own personality.
What should you put in a let
ter asking for a job? It's best
to build your letter around three
main ideas. What you'd like to do
for the company, why you think
you can do it (including your ex-
perience listed to date, if any. plus
your school record and the re-
quest for a personal interview to
discuss the job more fully.
Try to be as natural in your
letter as you would be in CONVEX
sation, omitting any wisecracks
or slang, of course. Be sure that
your grammar is correct and SPELL
ing is perfect, especially the name
of the person to whom the letter
is addressed.
Make 1t as easy as possible for
Evening star., 1949-12-11

the company to get in touch with
you. giving your full address. tele-
phone number and the hours
you're most likely to be at home.
The next important plank in q
successful job-hunting campaign
Is to address your letters to the
right people. II you think. for
example. that you'd like to learn
the advertising business. apply
directly to the advertising agen-
cies for the type Of work you'd
like.
Here's a tip. Take anything they
have to offer in the beginning
even II it's a Job In the stockrcom.
Starting at the bottom is the best
way Of getting acquainted with an
organization and learning the
ropes in the field Of your choice.
Maybe you're just not the let
ter-writing type and you'd prefer
working through q reliable en-
ployment agency. The agency will
help you secure interviews with
employers who are looking for
help. but It's up to you to 60 out
and sell yourself after they've
made the contacts.

to act at job interview.

The hot exchange was between defense attorney James MacInnis and Harry Schrimpf, government witness and admitted ex-Commun- ist.
 Schrimpf, on the stand for the fourth day, was being questioned about the disappearance in 1887 of John Hogan, popular. waterfront dispatcher.
 The witness told about searching for Hogan and MacInnis asked.
 Didn't you at that time accuse Henry Schmidt, a co-defendant with Bridges, of the murder of John Hogan?"
 That's a dirty lie," Schrimpf shouted. Its too bad you're not under oath making some of these statements"
 And why is that?" asked the attorney very quietly.
 Because you'd be behind bars, that's why You'd be where you belong," the red-faced waterfront walking boss shouted.

NO RECOVERY

It alleges that even ii the tax is, paid under protest, no proVisloi in the act would enable taxpayers to recover their money if the law should be held invalid. The remedy at law for securing a refund would be inadequate because the Terri- tory. the complaint said, lis in- solvent and unable to pay its ordinary expenses of government.
 Granting of injunctive relief at once was asked on the ground It will prevent a multiplicity of suits against the Territory and Tax Commissioner for tax recovery Ii the act is ruled out by the courts.
 The .court was asked to enjoin the officials from proceeding with collections under the act to save persons owning property in several districts from the possibility of having to file many separate suits for recovery of the amounts paid on specific properties-if the law is outlawed.
 The complaint was drawn by Attorney H. L. Faulkner, of Ju- neau, and the firms of Collins and Clasby of Fairbanks and Medley and Haugland of Seattle.
 William K. Leise, Territorial Tax Assessor for the Fourth Division said in an interview that the filing of the suit does not affect the obli- gation of taxpayers to meet theii bills pending final disposition oi the case.
 Neither the city nor school dis trict are collecting the property tax in their environs this year.
 Leise said in an interview tha' the assessment rolls for taxpayer in the divisions living outside tht city and school district, and subjec' to the Territorial portion of th' tax, now ale being prepared. Wori will go forward on it, he said, de spite the test suit. No bills hav' been distributed nor assessmen notices sent out yet, but he sait they will be within 10 days.

HIGHLANDS IS BUILDING UP;
 70 NEW HOMES

1 A substantial addition 10 Juneau 5 population in homes has been made the past three years with develop ment of The Highlands, an attrae- tive homesite just outside the city limits on Glacier Highway. In all, fifty new houses have been con- structed, along with streets, sewage systems, drainage, and complete facilities, from what short time ago, was raw forest.
 Of the last group of 20 new homes, started in June, 10 are now occupied and the balance will be tenanted as soon as they are avail able.
 Families who have recently moved into their new homes with their families include: It. Charles ". Rudolph, It. Commander E. C.. Hawley, Commander H. w. Schleit- CT, It. Joseph A. Levasseur and Storekeeper Thomas McIver, Jr., all or the Coast Guard; William Sey- mour, Superintendent for the Sea- land Construction Company; A. w. Hackwood of the Bureau of Mines; c. c. Vinson, of GAIA; s. H. Lo- rain, of the Bureau of Mines and Jerry Strang, chief underwater, for FILA. The above 20 homes were luilt by Foss and Malcolm and front on Glacier Highway and Eehrends avenue.
 Triplette and Dalziel built five units, three on the highway and two on Behrends avenue and the rest of the fifty were constructed privately
 Twenty-two homes, built before the Highlands development, were constructed by Charles Waynor two or three blocks closer to town before 1946 and are not counted in the fifty built in the past three years. Six new homes are planned, to be built by private parties, in the spring.
 Besides the homes, the Church of i Christ has constructed a fine build .ng on the channel side of the high way. The Rev. Boyd Field is pas tor. Another Juneau church also rlans to build a short distance away.
 1 People Of The Highlands and dwellers around the small boat 1 harcor have petitioned the city for entry into the city limits. The matter will be brought before the Court on December 27, at which time a date for election will be set. Il takes majority of Juneau votes i to accept the district into the city and a two-thirds majority of the district petitioning to be admitted.
 "If the district is admitted as a part of the city of Juneau" Harold Foss, partner of Foss and Nal colm, Architects, said ''it would increase the assessed valuation of Juneau by at least million and a half dollars" He added that the block of twenty houses which his firm has constructed represents an investment of $300,000.
 At the present time less than half of the small boat harbor is within the city limits Foss pointed cut that if the elections pass in the city and outlying districts, it will bring in the balance of the small boat harhor, the Northern Com mercial marine ways and all of the proposed new boat harbor north of the Northern Commercial Company.
 If the vote carries" Foss said, those at present outside the city limits will be able to enjoy the benefits of city fire protection, po- lice protection, maintenance of streets and sidewalks and lower light rates, and a saving of ap- proximately 20 percent on fire in surance rates"
