AIDING THAT COUNTS

Of the hundreds of schemes advanced dur
ing the pas few years for helping rural resd-
ents, very few have up to this time been found
to be of any practical benefit In fact, some
OF them have done more harm than good. But
there is one type of government aid which has
been helpful, and which rural residents around
Chandler would do we'll to take greater advan-
tage or That is the agricultural extension SER
vice whereby farm and home demonstration
agents, trained for their important duties, go
among farmers, their wives and daughters, and
teach them new ways whereby they can help
themselves. The various field and home pro-
Jects carried on by these paid workers have ma
terially raised the efficiency of farming and
rural home making. Especially effective work
has been done by the boys and girls cubs.
This traing of farm boys and girls for COM
munlty leadership is perhaps the most import

a hand in still further promoting it.-Chandler

ouate. He wanted to know more more. His hungry mind sought more food. He was "regular." His friends read to him, books, newspapers, everything. He remembered. Finds Joy in fife
 Tn colse contact with his profess sors, he was a fine student. He was awarded the Seth Low scholarship, four scholarships from the college and another from the American Foundation. He wrote his examine tions on typewriter.
 He went to the football, basket ball and baseball games. His vivid imagination pictured athletes in action-from the cheers, the thud of bodies, the swift rush of move ment. He enjoyed it. His lack of sight didn't spoil college life for him.
 Thirty-one out of 4so in the col lege of liberal arts were elected to Phi Beta Kappa. His record put him near the head of the group. He fn- tends to get doctors degree. He will.
 He recognizes his friends by their knocks. Tap-tap. Hello, Gilbert. Busy just now. Come back in a little while"
 His expert hands and his acute mind nullify the handicap of blind mess. He is ready-to meet the world.

Blind, Works Way To College Honors;
 Faces Life CheerfuLly And Unafrnid
BY DEXTER H. FEED INEA SerVice Writerl

New York-Blind, he faces the fu- lure unafraid. In a world in the throes of depressoin, he strides cori- fidently from college halls out into the stark reality of life, smiling, happy, undaunted. He Is. ready.
 While thousands of other nniver- sity graduates timidly wonder whether they will be able to get any kind of a position, Olaf l.. Larsen, like the hardy Norsemen who were his ancestors, embarks bravely on the high sea of life, certain that the rushing twentieth century cannot thwart him.
 He has just been graduated from Columbia University. He was given highest scholastic rewards, a Phi Beta Kappa key and general honors in two subjects.
 He worked his way through col lege. He did all the things that others with sight have done. He Is an athlete. wrestling and swimming have been his diversions. His cheeks are ruddy.
 q expect to succeed" He says that. Lack of sight is inconvenient, but not a handicap. Life is an equa- tion, receiving and taking. I'll get along. There is nothing to fear"
 He is tall. He is blonde. He has the gift of quick wit. He enjoys life, as many with sight cannot Op- timism, exuberance, courage-they are his qualities.
 Plans to Teach
 "I will teach history and sociol- ogy, the subjects in which majored. It may be difficult, getting a position, but I'll get one"
 Determination. His record proves he has 1t. He is a scholar. He talks with authority on most any subject. He is a philosopher. His memory is remarkable.
 He sits in class and hears lec- ture, then goes to his room and type writes 1t almost word for word They say that at Columbia.
 For years he worked to be able to go to college. He tuned pianos. He uttered. He worked in schools for the blind.
 Before the blind decide to go to college they should be sure they have the ability to do the work with out grinding every moment" he says.
 He is keenly aware of the prob lems that confront the world. As he is a student of history, he has ideas about history repeating itself. Hopeful for Future
 History is really made up of the acts and thoughts of human beings. Put in the same situations they will respond in the same way again. His tory should be interpretative."
 In the light of his studies and his thinking, he contemplates the bus mess depression he must face in starting a career:
 I've have had crises before. We have always managed to muddle through. There has been no plan ming, no industrial organization. Prosperity is determined by our ex- port trade. Now it is dwindling. High tariffs have created ill-will be- tween America and the rest of the world. I advocate a moderate tariff
 Inventions have kept us prosper ous. The automobile came to the. rescue once. Millions were em- ployed to manufacture it. The radio was invented, creating employment. Other inventions did similar things. ct us hope something else comes along"
