MRS ROOSEVELT | 60TH BIRTHDAY TODAY ; The "First Lady" of the United States, Mrs Eleanor Roosevelt, will celebrate her 60th birthday today. By her personality and boundless energy, Mrs Roosevelt has carved a unique place for herself in history, while her extensive travels havj made her a figure well known far beyond her own shores. Mrs Roosevelt is the cousin of the President, and she married him, at the age, of 20. With a young family of four sons and one daughter, Mrs Roosevelt proved her courage and devotion to her husband by nursing him at the critical stage when he was stricken with the illness which left him partially crippled and threatened to end his political career. Resident in the White House since the beginning of 1933, -Mrs RooseVelt has come into contact with the leading figures of the world. In the United States she is a definite personality, known to all by her flying visits from coast to coast, her radio broadcasting and her syndicated column, "My Day." which is published in almost 70 newspapers. A champion of women, Mrs Roosevelt is noted for her warmheartedness as well as her frankness and candour. With the entry of the United States into the war, Mrs Roosevelt has made several overseas visits to American troops. In 1942 she visited Britain and Northern Ireland as the guest of the King and Queen. New Zealanders had the privilege of meeting her in August. 19-13. when she spent a week in the Dominion and left a lasting impression on all who met her. Before her arrival here Mrs Roosevelt spent some time in Australia and the Pacific.
