plished through work in his church
and in the community.

Oakland troop which began in
1924, there have been eighteen
scouts who have won the Eagle

Cornerstone For A
Better America

Declaring that a good education
for every boy and girl was the
cornerstone of better America,
Willard l.. Hawkins, county super
intendent of schools, stressed edu-
cation week in two addresses be-
fore Oakland service clubs last
week.

Lake Park Lions club on Novem-
Der IL, and the Oakland Rotary
club on November Is. Teachers of
elementary schools of the south
ern end of the county were guests
of Lions club members while in
structors at Southern High were
guests of the Rotary club mem
bers.
Mr.. Hawkins spoke on initiation
and how it was affecting teacher
salaries. on the keen competition
for personal services and on pro-
grams of betterment.
He urged every parent and tax
payer to mediate purposefully and
sincerely on the value of education
in today'S world and to consider
the program of universal educa-
ton and its relation to free So
ciety becoming capable of self
government, stressing particularly
the theme of this years observance
of education week, IAN educated
people moves freedom forward"
"A good education in these times
involves having well prepared
teachers, unlimited opportunity to
learn, and facilities at hand to use
in getting a good education" he
declared.
A portion of Mr.. Hawkins re-
marks are quoted below:
The matter Of operating school
system, while left in the hands of
teachers, principals and admins
traitors to do the teaching and to
make most of the administrative
decisions, is a matter of utmost
concern for every citizen in COM

he was not so much interested in
the money but Just wanted to
see a safe cracked" He also admit
ted lingering" the hardware store

was at that time still at large.

the time that the safe would con-
tain such large sum.
