 Little Rock, Ark, May -sU.P0 As a young man in law school, John Adams wrote the following advice to himself:
 Labor to get distinct ideas of law, right, wrong, justice, equity. Search for them in your own mind :. |. Aim at an exact knowledge of the nature, ends and means of gov- ernment. Compare the different forms of 1t with each other and each of them with their effects on public and private happiness"
 Upon those famous words the American Legion has created a pro- gram that carries out the import of John Adams advice to himself, while yet in his early years.
 The program is called Boys State Comparatively new, yet old enough to have established itself as o per manent organization, Boys State was originated by the Americanism Commission of the American Legion department of Illinois during the WkkltGE Ok AU0F~pVs 6tAS A6VW Wes0 eaAs mediately looked upon as a direct aid to the development of clearer perspective of governmental activi' ties in the mind of the coming gen. rations of men.
 Indorsed In 1885
 Resolved by the American Le- zion, that we highly endorse the Boys State movement and recom- mend that 1t be made an essential part of the national Americanisn1 program"
 This method of teaching young men the correct manner in which government activities should func- ton caught on and grew with the months until today 1t is an annual affair in 38 states.
 Arkansas Boys State will be helo this year at the Arkansas Schoo for the Deaf, beginning June 2, ane ending June IA.

Young Woman
Bosses Truck
Crew of ID

When pretty red-haired woman,
dressed in black leather jacket, rid
ing pants and leather boots, swings
into the drivers seat of a heavy
truck at the Fort Belvoir VaD con-
struction project, the husky male
truckmen don't snicker, for they
know she can handle the big vehicle
and to IA of them she is "the boss. -
One of the trucking contracts let
by the Government in connection
with expansion of facilities at the
Army post to permit training of
selectees went to the Parr Trucking
Co., of which 21-year- -old Mrs. Alice
Parr is the executive, job foreman
and, when work demands. one of the
drivers.
Mrs. Parr, who has two small chill
dren, lives at 1882 G street Sc, but
spends the day at Fort Belvoir, su-
pervising the operations of her 12-
truck fleet. She has little time for
her favorite recreational activities
horseback riding, dancing and mo-
torcycllng.
At work Mrs. Parr no longer is
considered a novelty. She's just "one
of the boys and everybody calls her
"Pinkie."
