Hamilton has spent most of his first month-and-a-half in W arm S p rin g s g e ttin g acquainted with people and familiarizing himself with the office routine. He commends the existing program and he says he has no plan to change anything. “My philosophy is, if it isn’t broke, why fix it?” “Warm Springs has a good program to run smoothly,” says Hamilton. He intends to continue with the existing program and to enhance the 4- H, agriculture and home economics programs.
