Harry B. Chambers. member Of

which he has contributed TO the
discussion. He ssid today: q
Without character no success il
Financial success In often Just

founded one can be truly successful
and happy In life.
"This = the only way to solve

Citixenship must be added to the
three Rs, in the opinion of both Mr..

said: go

citixenship to our boys and girls. We
must teach respect for the flag; we
must teach the principles Of our Gov
ernment and American history in q

"Amsrtcans are intensely pa

Towns have an expression of per- sonality! Woods, streams, and even mountains have a certain expression of individuality accor ding to philosophers and poets.
 So why not towns. That great realist o. Henry has told us of the voices of great cities that fling their tenacles across the countryside, but no writer of note has ever put the personal ity of a town on recoad. Towns like persons seem to confide in you. Some speak in dreamy manner as tho they were old men sitting on cracker barrels and recalling the past. Others remind you of a young and boist- erous kid, telling what he can do. While others, extend you hosp itality unequalled by the tradit- ional Southern brand,
 Such town is Mccarthy.
