Becomes WPA Pupil’ at 101; Writes Her Name First Time

CLEVELAND, June 6

(U. P.).—"“Mother”

Carrie Kirk (come 102

next November) put on her best Sunday-go-to-meeting sun-bonnet today and trudged over to a WPA project to learn to read and write.

She had to go more slowly on the stairs leading to the second floor

of a branch library where the proj-¢

ect is conducted. “I have a little rheumatism now and then,” she said, “but that's about all that ails me.” “Mother” Kirk picked up a pencil. She held it gingerly in her right hand. She never had tried to use a pencil before. On the piece of paper in front of her the WPA instructress wrote: Carrie Kirk.” “Mother” Kirk slowly placed the pencil’s point on the paper. She pushed it up and down and around She had written her name for the first time. Back in her cozy, three~room home she confessed that it seemed “like as if I just can’t get reading and writing through my head.”

Excels Other Pupils

Her instructress disagreed. She said that “Mother” Kirk was doing better than most of her “pupils,” from 22 to 70. She added that the Government had verified “Mother's” age. “I like to weave shopping bags and make paper flowers,” “Mother” said. “That comes easy for me.” When the WPA project gave up instructions in those subjects she decided to attend the reading and writing classes.

Belies Her Age

“Mother” Kirk does not “look her age.” She is slightly plump, almost wrinkleless and can see and hear excellently. She likes to keep busy and does her own housework and cooking. “See this dress? It was of bright calico. “I made it myself. I make al] my clothes on my sewing machine. “A recipe for long life?” “Mother” Kirk's bright-as-ever brown eyes

became serious for a moment. “Just trust in the Lord, that's all.” She said she came to Cleveland from Charlotte, N. C., about 19 years ago. She used to work in the fields “down South.”

WATSON DEPLORES PATERNALISTIC RULE

Says U. S. Must Cling to

Sound Principles.

Times Special SPARTANSBURG, June 6—The United States must cling to the unvarying principles of sound government if it is to recover “that degree of prosperity that we always enjoyed while they were in unquestioned force in our country,” former Senator James E. Watson declared here. He spoke yesterday at the annual memorial services in the local cemetery. He attacked paternalistic government, declaring that American triumphs have been won by individual effort. “Any policy that seeks to suppress individual liberty and to transfer the freedom of the person to the Government is destructive of the mainspring of human activity,” he said.
