J Mr. and Mrs. Dick Goodale an nounce the birth of a 10 pound baby girl Sunday December 11th. The little girl has been named Elizabeth Jane. BCSWI BECAME ^RADICLSTAR By ANNETTE HANSHA W I5TCARTED to sing at the age of two, and, according to mother, knew about twenty-five melodies in less than a year. Somebody gave me a lollypop for my first song, so I decided to keep on singing. I went to three convents in Westchester County, outside of New York, and the National Acad emy of Design, when I decided I'd Had enough sohooling. Then, with nothing particular to do, I thought I'd like to have popular records before they were sold to the pub lic, so I opened a music shop in 1 Mount Kisco, New York, where I lived, and played the records I was trying to sell. I also sold sheet music by sing ing it ifor patrons, but as I couldn't read music, I made my own con struction of the tune as I went along. That probably explains why people came back and complained that the songs didn't sound the aame at home as in the store. * I started at this time to make personal appearances in the homes of Westchester society leaders, and waB fortunately successful enough to be asked to sing in the homes of the Astors, the Vanderbilts and the Cushings, too. They were ex tremely nice to me, and I shall never forget them. Now my latest contract to sing as a featured star on "Captain ? Henry's Show Boat," sponsored by i the makers of Maxwell House Cof fee, it wonderful new program ?with a cast of 55 artists, makes me very happy indeed. I love work ing with Charley Winninger, who plays the part of Captain Henry, , and Lanny Ross, that handsome 1 young fellow whose singing makes ' my heart jump a beat, and I think the part they've made for me on the Show Boat is just Bwell. 1 But about how I came to take up' radio singing, that's another story. I made my debut over the radio by appearing as a guest artist over a station in Clear water, Florida. Somebody heard me,*and I was offered a commer cial program without any formal ? udjition. ANNETTE HANSHAW Frequently, my doctors have or* dered a rest for me, when broad casting1 grew too strenuous, during those intervals of relaxa tion I have rpade more than 300 records for various phonograph companies. So as not to limit my productive efforts too much, I hav? recorded under the names of Dot Dare, Gay Ellis, and Patsy Young. I have no ambition for the show business, and am probably the only girl on record who ever refused a summons from the late Flo Zieg feld. He had heard of my well known aversion to the stage, and thought he could change my mind, but I remained true to radio. My ambition is to be the best blues singer on the air, so I can do the things Tve always wanted to do. One of the things is to send my young brother, Frankie, to Johns Hopkins Medical College* where he has always wanted to go. I like college boys, Bert Lan^, ' Frances Williams, and chocolat* pudding with whipped crtam, jarUt in addition to my singing, I pla# the ukelelti write ?nd compose. 9* V f 3/hral (Ehrifitnuui (Sifi The Ideal Christmas Gift to send your friends is a year's subscription to The Wateree Messenger Fifty-two times during the coming year it will serve as a reminder of the Yuletide spirit that prompts the gift.

HOLLAND, Chm RAT CAMPAIGN PROGRESSING Since announcing recently the in tention of holding a rat eradication campaign over Kershaw county Jan uary 21, much interest has been manifested, and indications are that the work will be a success. It should be remembered, however, by everyone in the county that the killing of these rats will not be ef fective unless everyone in a commun ity participates because a neighbor who does not kill rats on his place will only furnish to replenish rats >n the places of his neighbors. Everyone who is interested in par ticipating in this one-day campaign is urged to notify the county agent in order that arrangements may be made for getting the proper amount of bait on hand.
