Says Writing Poetry Is Profitable Hobby

ROSEMARY. Sask.. Jan. 23 - ,(CP) - Writing poetry ll sstrlctly a hobby" with Mrs. Lila Carroll. But the prairie farm wife has found It profitable, too.

A mass circulation American magazine (Saturday Evening Post) has bought several of her poems in the last year or so. Recently she xion the lyric poetry contest of the Edmonton branch of the Canad- ian Authors Association.

she was born on a prairie farm and has lived all her life in rural Saskatchewan. It is of the life on the prairies and its seasonal changes that she often writes.

Though Mrs, Carroll had writ- ten poetry for her own pleasure (or years. she never thought of her work having commercial value un- til her husband insisted she semi 5 poem to the magazine. This was about her smallest son, at that; time just learning to stand up in' ins crib. The magazine prcniptly accepted it and asked for more.

Mrs. Carroll, born Lila Van Dine. taught school before she married. Elie says she always preferred rural schools -- and was always having to explain why she liked them better than town schools.

"I believe that farming people are the best to live among," she says. "But they are not generally appreciated -- or perhaps eval- uated would be a better word - either in fiction or in non-rural areas, Farmers are more strongly individualistic than any class group in the city, and so are their wives."
