His selection caught the young man
by surprise but recovered suffi
ciently to say that many factors
were involved in his selection. He
especially credited the privilege of
being born in the United States.the
educational opportunities available
to him, his devoted parents and
the inspiration of Christ.
The introduction of the award
winner was made by Sid Boise,
1953 Junior First Citizen. He list
ed a long line of achievements in
the young political scieimsta .'

a very bright period in industrial
development, he predicted. .
Much of the future lies with the
type of persons we develop," Dr.
Strand said.
He listed the three types as
those led and bound by tradition,
those direcled by what others think
and do and who feel they must

by legislative members was sug
gested by Rep. George Layman,
chairman of the House judiciary
committee. This group of attor

said, were not busy now and
would be glad to handle the re

As a -final rejoinder at the
