W . C. Erwin, '06as, Chandler attorney, wasthe subject for a column in the Chandler News-Publicist recently . The column, caller Flowersfor the Living, tells of the accomplishments ofoutstanding Chandler citizens . It follows :

Laurels to a man whose modesty is almostuntrue to life. W . C. Erwin, brilliant Chandlerlawyer, has a string of accomplishments to hiscredit that would inflate an ordinary person'sego to such an extent that self-praise couldnever stop, but Mr. Erwin would never let onthat before his career as a lawyer he was aforemost Oklahoma educator .

Walter C . Erwin was born in Kansas andreceived his primary education there . Since1893 he has lived in Oklahoma, graduatingfrom Central State Teachers College in 1900 .In 1906 he procured his A . B . degree from theUniversity of Oklahoma and in 1910, his

1935

Master's degree from the University of Chicago.His LLB . degree in 1913 was from the LebabonLaw schools .As an educator, Mr . Erwin has made most

noteworthy marks for himself. He organizedthe high schools at Wellston and Sparks andwas the organizer of the school of Educationin the University of Oklahoma, in which de-partment he was an instructor for six years .He then changed from education to law

which he practiced in partnership with hisbrother, P . D . Erwin, who had been establishedin Wellston . The firm, Erwin and Erwin whichwas created in 1913, branched to Chandler in1925 . W . C . Erwin took charge of the Chand-ler office . Erwin and Erwin is the oldest lawfirm in Lincoln county .

Outside of his strenuous business activities,Mr . Erwin devotes much time to his especialhobbies, work in the Boy Scouts of Americaranks and with Missions . For the past threeyears he has been president of the CimarronValley Council of Boy Scouts . And in 1934he was awarded the Silver Beaver Award, atrophy given to the person in the Council whohas devoted the most time and taken the mostvital interest in scouting.The Brotherhood class of the First Baptist

Sunday school, of which he is the teacher, hasdeveloped into the largest men's class inChandler, its attendance totals having reached100 and over at various times .

Everything he does he does well because ofhis intense interest in the worthwhile thingshe attempts. And, like a true human benefactor,he keeps quiet about his noble accomplishments .

1910The name of Frank Buttram, graduate of

the University in 1910, recently was back in oilnews headlines . He was high bidder for stateschool land offered for oil and gas leases innortheastern Oklahoma county near Luther . Hepaid $1,720 .80 for one tract and $2,120 .80 foranother tract . It was rumored that a drillingdeal may be headed by Buttram in that area .

Florence McClure, 15as, Oklahoma City, spentthe past summer completing work toward anM. A . degree at the University of Mexico, Mex-ico City . She teaches Latin and Spanish atCentral high school in Oklahoma City.

1916

Florette McNcese,'16M .A ., recently was madecurriculum director for secondary education inOklahoma City . Dr. Frank A . Balyeat, IIas,' 18M.A ., associate professor of education at theUniversity, has been in charge of that work, butwill confine his activities to University classes .A sketch of Miss McNeese carried in the

Daily Olklahoman follows :Though handed the impressive title of "cur-

riculum director for secondary education" Men-(lay, Miss Florettc McNeese probably will con-tinue to answer more quickly to the word"teacher" than "pedagog ."

For several years now, Miss McNeese's abilityin the field of English curriculum improvementhas led her a little farther from her first love,teaching . Now, in charge of all junior andsenior high school curricula, she will have noclasses .

"I like to see students learn . It doesn'tmake much difference to me whether I havea class of slow students or of fast ones, it isfun to watch them learn," she said Monday.

Students who have been in Miss McNeese'sclasses at Classen high school will recall that itwas fun to "learn" under Miss McNeese, butit also was difficult to wangle an "A" fromher. She doesn't believe there are many per-fect students.While head of the Classen English depart-

ment and also director of English curricula forall secondary schools, Miss McNeese taughtthree classes instead of the usual five . C . K .Reiff, superintendent, put thumbs down on herteaching any classes this autumn while she ini-tiates her new duties .One class that Miss McNeese particularly dis-

likes abandoning is the creative writing class atClassen . Three years out of the last four theanthology produced by the class, "Star Dust,"was awarded national recognition.

Small, efficient, and usually smiling, MissMcNeese has gained widespread recognition forher work in the field of English instruction .She is the Oklahoma director on the national

council of English teachers, an associate edi-tor of the National English Journal, and for sixvears has been a member of the committee onEnglish curriculum of the Oklahoma Educationassociation .

Holding degrees from Westminster college .New Wilmington, Pa ., and the University ofOklahoma, Miss McNeese came here from PoncaCity. She taught at Central high school fiveyears and has been at Classen since 1921 . Shehas been a summer school teacher in severalstate teachers colleges .

Miss McNeese suceeds Dr . F. A . Balyeat ascurriculum director. For three years DoctorBalyeat has spent three days a week here andthree days as professor in the education de-partment at the University of Oklahoma .

"I found that trying to hold two jobs meantspending three-fourths of my time at each, andso I'm giving up one," Doctor Balyeat said .Dr . W. H . Miles, '166s, 18M.D., Oklahoma

City health director, recently made the state-ment that babies are dying of starvation dailyin Oklahoma City with plenty of food available .Dr . Miles' investigatons into health problemswere summarized with the following statement :

"Malnutrition" is a word which appears moreand more often in vital statistics reports thistime of year.

"It is often summer complaint," Doctor Milessaid . "The babies' food becomes contaminated .The babies are poisoned, cannot digest foodgiven them, and they starve ."

Doctor Miles said most of the deaths occuramong families on relief . "Insanitary condi-tions somewhere along the line is the real

cause," he said . . "No one knows just howmany lives the milk and ice fund has saved .Even though milk from relief agencies is de-livered in good condition, it takes ice to keepit . Flies cause most of the trouble."A lot of folk object when we order sani-

tary changes to remove the breeding places offlies . They've lived through worse conditionsand are alive and healthy.

"But they're the lucky ones . It is just chancethat they didn't the early in life with 'malnu-trition' or `starvation' written after their names ."

Nell McClure, '17as, Hobart, is one of thenine district directors of women's work pro-jects under the WPA in Oklahoma . Her ap-pointment was announced by Mrs. Thomas G .Gammie when the work projects for womenwere launched during the summer . Miss Mc-Clure has been a school teacher .Bennett Griffin, '17as, Oklahoma City aviator

now with the U. S . Department of Commerce,was injured in an automobile accident duringthe late summer . He was returning with agroup of four friends from an early morningswimming party at the Twin Hills club whenbright lights forced the car in which he wasriding off the pavement. His injuries were notserious . Others in the car were not hurt.

Clarence M. Mills, '231aw, district judge inOklahoma county, is having trouble with park-ing meters . First, he was one of four districtjudges who ruled that the meters might be usedafter they were installed and a legal tangleimmediately resulted . Then, he parked his carbeside one and found an over-time ticket whenhe returned from lunch in 29 minutes . Then,the question of the validity of the meters wasto come before him and his associates on thequestion of a permanent injunction against theuse of the system . He refused to discuss theticket business because the pending action inwhich he must rule .

When she boardedthe plane to leave, she knew more about methan I did about her, but I had a swell story .My lead, of course, was that Anne Lindberghhad turned reporter ."

This up-and-coming young reporter's list ofgreat and near great also includes six bishops,three cabinet members, Arthur M . Hyde, PatHurley, and Frances Perkins ; Ruth Bryan ()wen ;and Will Rogers, Al Jolson, and Richard B .Harrison topping the list of stage stars .

"But fliers have been my specialty," Bct'llaughed . "As aviation editor of my paper, Iinterviewed Amelia Earhart, Frank Ilawks,Wiley Post, Bennett Griffin, Louise McPhetridgcThaden, Phoebe Omlie, and others . MaxSchmeling and Babe Didrikson lead the list ofsports elite, I suppose, Fritz Kreislcr the mu-sicians, and Ted Shawn the dancers . VachelLindsey, John Ncihardt, Edna St . Vincent, Milay,and Lew Sarett were on my poet (locket . Therehave been half a dozen college presidents andseveral senators and congressmen ."

Since joining the Times staff last fall, sheedited a weekly school page in addition to writ-ing features and covering a regular run ."My most recent interview obtained under

unusual circumstances was when I played sec-retary to Madame Secretary Frances Perkins inorder to talk to her in Oklahoma City," Bethrecalled . "When she arrived at the hotel, shehad about ten minutes to dress, and said shecouldn't see me . I stuck around, and finally shesaid I could wait at her door and receive someflowers that were coming up . She then per-mitted me to come in while she finished get-ting ready and talked to me on her way downin the elevator .And this young lady of the press has clone

her share in the business of creating copy . A"rash" criticism hurled at the inability of preach-ers to preach interestingly made in her columnin the Springfield paper several years agobrought a challenge to Beth to do better, andshe had her clay in the pulpit, with an A . P .picture and the story flashed over the country .As a stunt reporting assignment, she clemon-strated at Springfield, or demonstrated exceptfor the loss of a few red corpuscles, that it waspossible to live on a two-bit diet for ten claysand get all the required vitamins for healthbuilding .

Three years ago Beth turned "hunger march-er" at Springfield and got an exclusive breakon a story of state wide interest . "I dressed inold clothes and joined a bunch of 80 hungermarchers enroute to the Missouri capital in Jef-ferson City," said Beth . "It was necessary thatmy reporter's identity be concealed, so I couldtake no notes . I interviewed almost every mem-ber of the party on the 150-mile ride, remem-bering the information, and wrote it after I hadslipped away and walked two miles to thecapital late that night. We used a series ofstories on the trip ." The leader had decidedin the meantime that Beth's powers of leader-ship should be enlisted behind the cause of thered flag and had divulged enough Communistsecrets to her that she was able to break in herpaper the fact that the march was incited byCommunists .

But Beth thinks perhaps her most unusualassignment was a series of features on "RealFolks at Home." The stories were about peoplewho never get in the clay's news, picked up atrandom in different sections of Springfield .
