MY VOW TO PROGRESS We enter the third week, of the Camp Life of a CCCj Enrollee, who has for four years and two months ,shared the in-
of my observation of the inefficient maimer in which Mr. Dill handled his ; crew was derived from my ^training at Lincoln Hi School under Mr. Meeks, who taught me somqj of the factors of carpentry, drafting and other trades. -; Coherent with teaching were potent traits of progressive guidance. It wa s from this source that I began the policy, correct or change if not as ordered. After four months' (with Mr. Dill he began to realize my

to 200 men. Out of this num- ' Following my policy to the letber ten are Leaders or Sergeants, for, I tactfully told Mr. Dill that These men are the highest rated Brown and I had no selfish in-
in the Company. They are usually placed in the following positions, Senior Foreman, Company Clerk, Mess Steward, Two 1st Cooks and Five Barracks and Field Sergeants. These men are assisted by sixteen Assist-
ant Leaders.
Placing the time of acquiring the somewhat unusual caption for this chapter at about September, 1936, I recall conversing with Elijah Brown of Gary, Ind., on the subject, Leadership. I had the pleasure of meeting Sgt. Brown as! mi enrollee, transferred from Company 542, Bloomington, Ind., in October, 1935. Brown has a knowledge of field work, to my estimation, and obviously to the opinion of his superiors, that would qualify him for a job as a Senior Foreman of Labors. At the time of meeting Sgt. Brown he held a private pilot license that he received on completing necessary qualifications. My friendship with Brown found its base in our common interest in the enrollees and the field work. It was during this ^conversation with Sgt. Brown I conceived the idea that regardless of a person’s ability and endeavor, that this does not necessitate progress, but, to hold a clear conception of your objective and those who control it, with this and an undaunted will, pained with persuasion tactfully used, will aid one in the average climb. After -fully considering this conception I told Brown of my intention to become a Leader. I feel now
tentions, but a deep interest in the field work. W-hat Mr. Dill noticed was not by accident. Most evenings . after work Brqwn and I would discuss the days progress and our plans for the next day. As a member of the class in journalism I began). to write articles in the caimp paper on camp activity and my opinion of- 1 what an enrollee should and should not do. This gained - arguments from Some and compliments from others. One officer said; “I am glad you take such interest in the Company, Hooper, I hope you continue your articles.” Remembering part of my conception of how I must progress, you may with persuasion tactfully given
remember that I said; “paired will aid one in the average climb.” This officer was persuaded as to the interest I had in the company, he was also one who shared in the control of my objective^ \ In January, 1937, I had my first set back. It was at this time that Mr. Dill was going (l)o rdjfe :kn A^sistadt (Leade^ - . Brown and I were aware of a possible third man, we being the first two. It became obvious to both of us that Mr. Dill avoided coming iq contact with us. One night during this pending action We assembled the crew’s ten key members, and acquainted them with the issue. Although Brown wa s reluctant to my proposal to have all key men leave the detail and get on another, it was agreed to be done. This action was to -take place only in the event that Brown or I were not rated. One afternoon Mr. Dill told me that he was going to rate Eugene Wellington. He also told me that I would receive a rating within the coming six months. This set off the quickest and most destructive movement that I believe Mr. Dill experienced during his Foremanship. In three days every member of key crew had changed details. Mr. Dill gave as a reason for this strange promotion, as) being due to Brown and I holding syndicated control over the (main body of his detail. For three months after leaving the field, I became a member of the Army Overhead. I continued to write articles for the camp publication. I received many compliments from Fort Hayes, Columbus, Ohio, on some of my articles. Mr. T. D. Cooke, our camp Educational Advisor, at the time, played a great part in what I termed. My vow to progress. H believe it was Mr. Cooke who made ' it known to Mr. Dill that I could be approached on an Assistant Leaders rating. In March, 1937, Mr. Dill told me that he would give me a rating on my return to the field. I returned to the field March 28, 1937. I received my rating March 31, 1937. For 2 years hundreds of boys passed under the Leadership of Assistant Leader, or Sergeant Hooper. From day to day I worked- to improve my method of Leadership. I maintained a moderate) strictness and an untiring f guidance. I read and studied! different types of Leadership to better qualify myself for my position. As I glance back at the road T traveled, and think of the people I met while in this great system of Conservation, I believe that I haye done my best. In August of this year I received a letter from the Executive Branch of the • Soil Conservation Service stating) that I had qualified for a position as a Senior Foreman of Labors. I sincerely believe that this record of service greatly influenced Congressman Boehne’s opinion, when he recommended me as being

zation thi s year. This call and appeal is not only to parents, but to any one interested in child welfare. - There is more needed among our children than the average in our city. Our children need better recreation, safer transportation and many unnumbered conditions that need the aid of all our citizens. You may have some ideas tied up in your store of knowledge that would help us all. Come out and get interested in child welfare—you may hold the key to succes. Another thing, I would like to remind you of this fact, you men are letting the best part of your life slip away from you when you sit home and let Mama do all of the work. Listen, boys, Mama is the sweetest when she is out there (to you) and she does not have the nerve to scold like she does at home. Now if you don’t believe me just try going out with her at the PTA meeting. I would bet a “buck” that the Fathers of our organization do not give a Hoot about that project of getting hot wholesoma food for our children at Third Avenue School. Thanks to the women that the school is going to have the meals. We need all (members of this organization to lend whatever help possible in sponsoring different projects. We need men as well a s women to pull together and help the Third Avenue PTA. Sincerely, Charles Edwards,
