ress Administration, not only in my own branch, but in It's entire- ty, has offered a marvellous oppor- tunity for rehabilitation to hum dredS of thousands of people throughout the country. These workers are not on relief, nor do they feel that they are objects Of charity. They arc accomplishing e great deal in their work, and at the same time they are making a place for themselves in the world. Each of my teachers has an im- portant job and every individual on my staff treats his or her job as such"
 Edna Harmon, like all people who have been trained in mathe- matics, has a marvellous mind for handling detail. There are 50 peo. pie working for her teaching hun- dreds of classes. Her branch or the WPA runs like clock work never a hitch, never Q slip up She, herself, works day and night seeing to 1t that every de- tail is handled correctly. She says she never grows tired. When she begins to slow up little she treats herself to a trip to New York. She always goes by car because she loves to drive. sometimes these New York trips are made with friends, sometimes with her parents, Shows and shopping occupy her time when she's in New York.
 She's conservative in her taste for clothes, and her favorite rec reations are dancing and contract bridge. She likes the movies very much, and as for stage entertain ment she insists on musical com edies. Nothing heavy for her rec reational hours. Her choice oL reading turns toward novels ana she likes to read the non-fictton that we find in the current, popu- lar magazines.
 Your biographer thoroughly en- loved his visit with Edna HAT mon. She presents the appear ance of being gay, and carefree. One would never guess that she has such q responsible position m our community nor that she takes her responsibilities so seriously. She's a real hard worker-one who believes that the only good job is one that's well done.
 And so fricnds we conclude an- other neighbours biography. A word picture of q very charming young lady--a neighbor whose chief virtue is her sincerity. ner interest in and recognition of the responsibilities of her job. We are indeed fortunate in having such an able young woman In charge of such an important part Of our community life.

BY DR.. Smith

There is no more West. We have
begun on a new day and the same
frontiersman spirit which enabled
our ancestors to overcome the rigors
of settling the west is necessary to
overcome the mental frontier of to-
day"
In these words DR.. Roy L. Smith,

ing and thought-provoking address
on 1.-The New American Revolution"
delivered Friday night before an en-
thuSiaStic audience in Central high
school, the lecture being sponsored
by the Methodist Women's Aid So
ciety.
The speaker began his address
with the statement that there no
longer is a West to which the nation
can resort in times of economic
stress, and that the day is gone when
man can go to the land and be in
dependent as has occurred in the
various periods in this nations his
tory.
I'VE have come to the end of all
AN NSSAoASt, oOeiOlllS CCl
tain attitudes must be assumed by
the citizens of the nation before the
way out of the present situation may
be found.
These attitudes include a willing
ness to admit that I'VE are living in
day of change; "if we are going
to live in a day of change we must
nave an open mind; I'VE must rec
ognize that human values and spirit
ual values are the supreme values"
Another of his challenging state
ments was: 1.-THE only cure for radi-
calism is to open the doors of oppor-
tunity to the young people of today"
Mrs. Eugene Waterman sang a
group of charming solos at the be-
ginning of the meeting, accompanied

cessional"; Van Dykes where the
