[PW] Looking for item in circa 1952 issue of AMERICAN GIRL magazine

[Dennis Lien]

A retired librarian here is trying to find a copy of a poem published
by his late wife in AMERICAN GIRL (the Girl Scouts of America magazine
of that name) around 1952.  The byline would have been "Susan Hunter" --
the title of the poem is unknown.

The Fictionmags Index online has indexed some 1950s issues of the
magazine, but nothing around that year (and nothing listing a
possible Susan Hunter).  We have only a few 1930s issues, and no
other local library has any.

WorldCat/OCLC  record 1579654 lists around a hundred libraries holding
some issues, but most do not specify holdings and those that do
mostly don't have 1951/1953.  Those that appear to have include

Long Beach Public (CA)
Peoria Public (IL)
Wayne State University (MI)
Houston Public Library (TX)
University of North Texas (TX)
Virginia Tech University (VA)

and supposedly:
Rhinelander District Library (WI) -- but we've had a report from
Rhinelander that they disposed of their run.

Gregoy's UNION LIST OF SERIALS (last edition 1965) is too early
to be very helpful in expanding the options.

If anyone on the list has access to a library that holds the
volumes and is willing to check, it would be most appreciated...
