THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Ctefam, g. C, ThnrWmy, Ort«fc«r M, 1H8 York Women Executives Up Together in Clinton Bj MABIE M. PEDEN NEW YORK — She goes to work every day in the Time and Life Building here; drives her car wherever she pleases; goes to social events, where friends say she is the life of the party; and does anything else die pleases. This to not unusual for most people, but Miss Virginia Sadler of CUnton, S. C., does all this even though paralyzed from the waist down and scoots around in her wheel chair accomplish ing her duties^ as editor of the Letters to the Editor pages of Life Magazine. At a luncheon at La Fonda del Sol in the Times-Life Build ing, arranged by another very successful Clinton native, Mrs. Ida Stewart, assistapt to the owner of Estee Lauder, inter national cosmetic firm, Miss Sadler lived up to her reputa tion of being fun to be around. At the luncheon were four other South Carolinans, one of them is now living in New York. The attractive and vivacious bru nette has a very warm and con- tageous laugh. With her warm friendliness, her earnest desire to talk about and “push” other people (it was difficult to get her to say enough about herself to get this interview) and her bright out look on life, her South Carolina friends in New York, and there are quite a few, find her a gen uine inspiration and from her gain strength as they go about their work. Miss Sadler, who was injured in an automobile accident some 17 to II years ago, drives a special car to her office each morning and parks as near the building as she can, having a special parking permit. She en ters and leaves the car under her own efforts, even putting in and taking out her wheel chair. Of course, she is always happy if some passerby lends her a hand. She has been in New York off and on for 15 years, having started in the copy room of Life Magazine. She then did some research work for Life, which she thoroughtly enjoyed, before becoming the letter page editor. She took time out between jobs to assist with the family drug store and during this time was a correspondent for The Piedmont in Greenville, S. C. She also spent some months in Italy, living with an Italian countess and her family. Her handicap did not prevent her enjoying this stay and she was able to converse with the chil dren in the family, who spoke Italian. The parents spoke Eng- lish. And of what does her work consist? Before the letters are sent to her, they are processed and each letter is answered. When she reads each of the many letters that come weekly, she decides which are to be printed. She also has some fun ny and sometimes torrid tele phone calls about the^ letters and articles and laughingly re membered one California call she placed, when upon giving her connection with the mag- Leonard - Marler Insurance Agency — Representing — NATIONAL GRANGE MUTUAL Penn. National — Standard National — and a variety of other selective companies to round out a complete program of insurance needs. C. H. LEONARD MRS. EMILY MARLER We Strive Tirelessly To Give Prompt and Courteous Service To All Your Insurance Needs 200 North Broad Street Phone 833-1121 :—: Clinton, S. C. MISS SADLER azine was told that the person called was already a subscriber and didn’t care to subscribe again. Some of her other calls are not so humrorous. Mrs. Stewart, who takes a plane to Europe as nonchalant ly as most people take a bus or train to work, taught in South Carolina public schools after being graduated from Winthrop College with an art major and then two years at Winthrop before going to New York where she accepted a po sition with Bristol Myers in the education department. It was from here she went as asist- ant to Miss Lauder, who spends much time in Europe. Her duties are varied. She travels all over the country as well as Europe for her firm. She H&NtHes-the public relations office, trains beauty consultants who go out to allied stores and shops, supervises and approves personnel and, as he said, has a different title each day, de pending on what has to be done that day. She likes her work because it not only puts into use her teaching ability (training con sultants), but also allows her to use her art knowledge in se lections of colors for the cos metics as well as for advertis ing. This attractive South Caro linian has all the chic needed on Fifth Avenue and the charm that goes with her Southern rearing. Very quietly spoken, she has a keen sense of humor and an swered a client’s complaint about a liquid bath spray powder clogging up by writing: “The spray powder must be treated like a child, since it sometimes acts naughty like one. I would suggest you spank it slightly on the bottom and blow its nose, then you will see it behaving again.” She and her husband have a house in Tarreytown in upstate New York, from which she commutes, leaving there in time to arrive at her office at 8:10 a. m. (a 45-minute ride) and boards the train again about 7:30 or 8 p.m., depending on her work schedule for the day. When asked about the long hours, she noted that she loves her work, else they would be tiring. Not only does she do all her own housework, hut has a won derful flower garden that Is the envy of her neighbors and en tertains women guests on the weekend her husband is out of town and couples when he is home. The Stewarts also have black Angus cattle farms in CUnton and York, S. C. Mrs. Stewart is what she calls a “Sunday Painter,” and at one time had a Sunday art class at her home in Tarrytown. She has also had a one-man show. Now, she is planning to give up some of her weekends to organ ize tours of the section of New York where she Uves, which she says is fiUed with historical places, such as Sleepy Hollow, where her home is located. She expressed the wish that South ern people would make up tours and stay there long enough to visit all the historical and lit erary sites. The executive said that she always goes home to Clinton for Christmas where her par ents Uve and that her husband quite often visits the cattle farms in South Carolina. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Crawford of Clin ton while Miss Sadler is the daughter of Mrs. Rufus E. Sad ler, also of CUnton, and the late Dr. Sadler. The two South Carolina execu tives who have “made good” in New York grew up together in CUnton and have stayed Mends through the years. - Sam Smith Laurens — Sam Smith, 74, of Rt. 1, Laurens, died early Saturday morning at his home after several years of declining health.
