MIR. COOLEY DOES JOB

Nearly year ago, MT. Dooley came to Arkansas The occasion the first of Harding Colleges unusual Freedom Forums" MT. Dooley, president of small business in Saginaw, Michigan, thought that since he about ready for retirement from the heavy respon abilities of managing his business interests he might well begin taking it easy. He'd down this for tow ard Hot Springs to see what these seminars were all about
 We'll he came went to Hardng's now famous ''school for freedom" for five days, returned to Sagnaw changed man. Mr. Dooley says that he found himself down here in Arkansas that he went back to Michigan with no intention Of retiring to life ot fishing and golf. Returning recently to the campus alumnus of Freedom Forum Mr. Dooley told "class of forum conferees here about his experiences after graduation
 First thing he did on returning to Sagniaw last Feb to find what the local Chamber of COm- merce was doing to help create better economic under standings in the community Did they have speakers bureau? Mo- It seemed that nobobdy available to speak the general subject of the American way of
 life and what today Everybody too busy, Folks enjoying the fruits of enterprise: business good and jobs plentiful
 But nobody saying much about why. Most citizens too busy to talk up the story of America and what it to everybody (Of cOurSe the prOpagandStS and cyncs were not too busy They were saying lot about what's wrong with America and how radical change is necessary to sovietize the country into another derful, socialist Utopia). Suddenly the phone rang Would the Chamber of Commerce supply speaker? MT. Dooley got the job.
 So, MT. Dooley, who had never before made speech forgot about retirement He also paid attention to the fact that he wasn't orator It didn't bother him to recall that formal education something he'd missed he grew up But he got together his notes from the Freedom Forum, bostered his ideas with further research in the public library, and got his munitiOn ready.
 Ever since that first speech, MT. Dooey has been in demand speaker. He has had good audiences mad has merted the splendid acceptance given him. But he not satisfied with his efforts He drew around him group of other ndustraland civic leaders capable of discussing free enterprise and related subjects With these men, he formed independent speakers bureau which has operated very successfully in his section of Michigan.
 So outstanding the service of this group that the Governor of the state asked Mr. Dooley to sparkplug
 similar program that would be statewide. Hats off to MT. H. M. Dooley, of Saginaw Michigan, and others
 like him who are filled with zeal and determination to do their bit to help preserve the American way. could tell you of others both individuals and companies that have been thus inspired to set up programs having great results along these lines
 wanted to mention MT. Dooley He didn't have to do what he did In this free America nobody has take stand anything Nor there secret police stand ing by say what Mr. Dooley could could not do But MT Dooey sef-made in a country that allows men to make themselves, had debt to pay. He wanted to do something for America and his job is not yet finished If the American brand of civilization endures will be because he have enough MT. Dooleys on the job
