Can't Build Character
Pessimists, who are inclined to think that all the answers to
present day problems lie in more and more government direc-
tion of our lives, are failing to take into their reckoning what
might be called almost a national movement to restore to
its rightful position the leadership and Initiative of private
citizens. There are many things government cannot do and
one of them is to build character. We are reminded of this
with the coming observance of Boy Scout Week, February 7-13.
In speaking to the annual meeting of the Boy Scouts of Ameri-
ca, Mr. James M. Patterson, an oil company* executive, de-
clared, “Youth movements in many other lands have lacked
voluntary action. They have discounted the Importance of indi-
vidual Initiative and self-reliance, and have substituted blind
obedience to a central authority. We have in Scouting and in
other voluntary youth movements the American answer to Com-
munism and dictatorships. Scouting i s working to tip the scales
in the direction of liberty--it is the American way.’’ Mr. Pat-
terson said Scout leaders are helping develop character and
effective citizenship at the time it is needed most. “With more
than three million boys and girls coming to voting age every
year,’’ he said, “our hope for a better future is in their hands...
More than 40 million men and boys have taken part in Boy Scout
work since it was started 67 years ago.”
Boy Scout Week is worthy of observation by youth and adult
alike. Scouting typifies the kind of voluntary, character-building
action that accompanies responsible citizenship.
♦American Oil Company
Hot Air Versus Hard Facts
Self-styled liberals frequently and vociferously condemn the
profit motive under which we have attained the goals in many
areas so ardently sought by the liberals.
Ibis point was well made in an advertisement of a major
machine tool manufacturer. It said: “Did the liberals save
millions of American women from backbreaking work by in-
venting the vacuum cleaner and washing machine--or was it
businessmen looking for profit?’ The advertisement then went
on to point out that business in search of profits has given
us life-giving drugs. It has been profit-seeking corporations
which have generated the millions of American jobs paying
the highest wages in the world. It was men who wanted to make
a profit who developed the automobile and the hundreds of
thousands of jobs which followed—not welfare state promoters.
The advertisement concluded: “When those who criticize
and attack profit can equal this record for their country,
it will be time to listen to them. But not until.” In reality,
there would be nothing for the literal to talk about where it
there would be nothing for the liberal to talk about were it not
for the great achievements of men working for a profit.
Steve Waldrop Promoted
To Nl Assistant Prexy
Northwood Institute Presi-
dent Arthur E. Turner an-
nounced last week the appoint-
ment of Stephen P. Waldrop as
Assistant to the President in
the areas of development and
institutional relations.

Provost at the Texas campus
of Northwood Institute, and he
has also served on the ad-
ministrative staff of the
college as Dean of Students
and Director of Admissions.
He will remain on the Texas
campus in his new capacity.
In making the announce-
ment, President Turner said,
“Waldrop’s administrative
experience at the college and
his knowledge of business and
industry provides an excellent
background for a new respon-
sibility. The development of
new curricula such as Land
Title Management and Insur-
ance, along with growth in
other phases of the operation
of the college in Texas,
prompts this addition to our
administrative staff.”
A graduate of the United
States Military Academy,
West Point, New York, Wald-
rop, 30, served in the U. S.
Army from 1960 to 1963. He

tery in Denton, in 1962 and
1963.
He has served as Executive
Director of the Dallas County
Republican Party and as an
organizational field represen-
tative for the Republican Party
of Texas.

Although parents can claim
children who are over 19 years
of age and who are bona fide
students during the year, 3
percent of the taxpayer assis-
tance calls during the past
year in Northern Texas want-
ed help on this problem. The
answer is simple: Yes, Dad,
Congress gave you a double
exemption. You can claim
your child (provided you fur-
nish principal support) re-
gardless of how much he or she
made, and the students must
claim themselves on their own
return.

New Insurance Course
Planned At Northwood
SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHRONICLE
A new curriculum to pre-
pare young people for a career
tn the property and casualty
Insurance business has been
developed at Northwood Insti-
tute in cooperation with an
Industry Advisory Commit-
tee, Arthur E. Turner, Presi-
dent, announced today.
The new college-level pro-
gram has been designed to
include requirements of the
Insurance Institute of Ameri-
ca (IIA) and will be introduced
on the Northwood of Texas
Campus at Cedar Hill in Sept-
ember.
Chairman of the Industry
Committee is Ben H. Mit-
chell, retired chairman of the
board of directors of Texas
Employers Insurance Asso-
ciation.
Other members of the Com-
mittee are: Roy A. Langston,
president, Traders and Gen-
eral Insurance Company;
Murrell R. Tripp, senior vice
president, Gulf Insurance
Group; Gordon S. Yeargan,
chairman of the board, Trinity
Universal Insurance Com-
pany; Russell H. Perry, presi-
dent, Republic Insurance
Company; O. V. McDonald,
vice president, Texas Em-
ployment Insurance Associa-
tion; and Edward Rooney,
Training Director; Trinity
Universal Insurance Com-
pany. All are from Dallas.
This Committee will con-
tinue to serve as the North-
wood Institute Advisory Com-
mittee to counsel Northwoodx
and keep the areas of study
current with the development:
of insurance industry prac-
tices. Committee members
may also serve as guest lec-
turers in the course work.
During the study period, the
committee participated in the
selection and development of
course syllabi, instructional
materials and reference mat-
erials in the specialized in-
surance courses.
The insurance courses will
be taught by men experienced
in the insurance business. In-
structional ' materials will
meet the requirements of the
Insurance Institute of Ameri-
ca, and many of the materials
have been prepared by the
IIA for use with its advanced
study program for persons
ilreadv in the jrjsurance busi-
The insurance curriculum
will umpliasize the property
and casualty phases of the
business. Specialized courses
which will be given include:
General Insurance Principles
and Functions, Property In-
surance, Casualty Insurance
and Surety Bonding, and
Underwriting, all of which will
re required of all students
enrolled in the curriculum
Advanced courses will include
Insurance Adjusting and In-
surance Production (market-
ing). Students may specialize
in either adjusting or produc-
tion or both.
“Students may earn an As-
sociate Degree after two years
of college studies,” Dr. W.
Victor Blelinski, Dean of Aca-
demic Development at North-
wood, said in describing the
program. “Our Associate
Degree has 50 percent general
education, which will mature
the student and give him a
broader outlook. The other
half of his program has two
parts: 25 percent is in gen-
eral business application and
25 percent is specific educa-
tion. Some students may also
choose to continue their
education to a baccalaureate
degree.”
Committee Chriaman Mit-
chell observed that, “No other
industry offers the same op-
portunities for rapid advance-
ment as does the insurance
industry. Personnel needs
are critical. A young man
entering the field has an un-
paralleled opportunity to write
his own ticket using his own
talents and skills.
President Turner and
Chairman Mitchell see the In-
surance program as providing
a career for students about to
enter college or now in col-
lege and an additional oppor-
tunity for persons now em-
ployed in the industry to re-
ceive additional education and
training in the insurance busi-
ness. Courses may be taken
on a credit or non-credit
basis.
Plans are now underway
to develop a 10-week summer
program at Northwood of Tex-
as, which would offer most of
the basic insurance courses
during this period.

How do you own a
stack of Savings Bonds
when vouVe older?
Start
young.
Start small, if you want, but start steady. The important
thing is to have a regular program of setting something
aside every payday.
You say that takes more will power than you can muster
up on a regular basis? Then use the easy automatic way:
join the Payroll Savings Plan where you work.
Here’s an example of how it can work for you: just
$4.33 week adds up to the $18.75 you need to buy a $25
Bond every month. That’s $300, maturity value, a year.
What’s more, your dollars will be working to help keep our
country strong and free.
So start now, start young, building up the savings that
count so much later on. Join the Payroll Savings Plan be-
fore next payday.
