past eleven years, passed the Federal
Army Boards test, and has been
Commissioned I'd Lieutenant in the

about, following the resignation of
LIST Lieut.. Carl Carlson, who resign
ed upon his appointment as Superin-
tendent of Somerset County Schools.
Lawson has been a member of
Company 81" for the past several
years. His record is unique. Not
only as a soldier has he proven his
worth, but counting attendance and
punctuality, he is about stops" in
the local unit. Lawson holds five
year perfect record medal, having
not missed a single drill, whether
regular or special, nor been tardy
during that time. He has missed
three times, however, during the past
three years, when business required
his absence from Crisfield and Son.
erset County.
Beginning as a private in the rear
ranks eleven years ago, the new
lieutenant showed the same persis-
tence to his task as is characteristic
if him in whatever endeavor he choos-
es. For example:
Lieutenant Lawson remained pri-
vate for three years. Then, he was
made corporal. After a number of
years more, he was promoted to SER
geant. Three years ago, he was
named first sergeant, the position
which he held until the time of his
commission.
The commissioning of Lawson gives
Company "L" again staff of officers
that have risen from the ranks. Cap
tain w. Gordon Ruark began in the
ranks, as did Lieutenant Littleton 7.
Dryden, who was promoted, at the
same time as Lawson.

WILLIAMSPORT, PA.-A per
petual" insurance policy issued on q
Williamsport property IS years ago
for 81 900 at premium of $25 still

The policy was written by the

Philadelphia on August "a, 1875, and
is believed to be one of the few of
its type in existence.
Williams said the policy apparent
ly is valid, since the company has
approved the assignment each time

HINES APPREHENDS
COUNTER 'ROBBER'
Northampton Man Given
Jail Term on ShOplift=
ing Charge

Burton L. Hines, of 257 Fairlawn
avenue, might have been doomed to
toll under weary department store
life, if it wasn't for his ability to
run. But this ability he has DEM
onstrated twice, and thus redeemed
himself.
The first time was a year ago,
when hundreds of downtown shop
pers gaped to see a bareheaded
young man sprint from South Main
street to Harrison avenue, where
he nabbed a nimble footed thief
who had dipped his hand into
Kresge cash register.
Yesterday, hundreds of shoppers,
among whom may have been many
who remembered the sprinting youth
Of year ago, were startled to see
Hines pop out of Kreges, pump his
arms and legs, and nab thief at
the fork of South Main and Bank
Streets The thief dropped six
pairs Of stockings when he felt
Hines arm around his neck.
Today Hines said in city court,
where George L. Tredo, Al, of
Northampton, Mass, was found
guilty Of shoplifting and sent to
jail for 80 days. that he started
running when he heard salesgril
call out.
In this way, Hines, who might
have been doomed to obscurity, lift
ed himself to the ranks Of Kresge's
immortaiS.

indeed Gods child. The awaken
ing years Of life should find him
lifting his soul to his unseen
Father in Heaven, living a life
above what he sees and hears and
touches and bringing realization
Of what life means here on earth:
ITO know, to love and to serve
God and after this life to be
happy with Him forever in
heaven" AS he advances in years
the great truths of Christian life
should be unfolded and his sense
Of duty made clear in his growing
mind.
In this gradual development the
parents have q deep and per-
sistent obligation. It Is their duty
! to foster the deep religious
growth of the child. They will
first Of all show good example in
their Christian bearing and fidel-
ity to Christian precept. = The
child will see in the father and
mother the example Of Christian
living and will find the spirit of
prayer predominant, the will of
God always accepted. They will
in turn instruct the child. in the
laws Of God and the preceptS of
the Church. Furthermore they
will be interested particularly in
his advancement in religious
thought during the school years.
It is most essential that they lose
not interest in the religious in
struction of their child at this
important period Of life.
In order to facilitate this work
groups of parents, known as
Parent Educators, will meet in
conference from time to time and
discuss methods of approach and
watchful care of their children
in religious thought and life.
I am happy to endorse this
program of the Confraternity and
I urge my flock to cooperate to
the fullest extent. Let them bear
in mind the Church's vital die
tum: Every Catholic child in the
diocese should be under religious
instruction"
Begging Gods blessing upon this
great movement, I am
Sincerely yours in Christ,
