Advice From Baruch
When he went to work for Wright,
Bernard Baruch advised him, "Give
your best to the job you're doing
and your job will do all right by
you," and Mr. Smith has followed
that advice well.
But he underwent an appendectomy and his" doctor directed a
change of jobs. So in October of
1947 he accepted the principalship
of the New Haven High School at
Union, Ky, largely as a gesture of
service to his community.
Since that time, the school has
undergone tremendous changes.
Since Smith was forced to commute 20 miles from Burlington,
where he lived, he was hardly making automobile expenses.
Other principals usually quit the
post after the first year, but he decided to stay. He launched a campaign for improving the school.
Classrooms were painted with unorthodox color schemes by student

my life."
To Interview Godfrey
This summer. Smith has an appointment with Arthur Godfrey to
enlist his aid in getting every American high school marked to make
air travel easier. And some day he
hopes to introduce a program of
flying classes in Kentucky high
schools.
A fitting tribute to Smith and his
community was printed in an editorial in the Cincinnati Enquirer on
March 30 which said in part:
"For community enterprise the
standard order of procedure in dealing with most problems of local
need, and housing in particular, is
to adopt a resolution and demand
that Congress do something. It is
refreshing . . . and heartening . . ,
variance from this custom that is
being demonstarted in the community of Union, Ky."
Then, after explaining the progress made at New Haven High, the
editorial continues:
"Life magazine has evidenced interest in pictures of the actual construction of the principal's house
this summer . . . We wish the people of the New Haven High School
district the best of luck in their enterprise. We have a hunch that the
nation would be better off if there
was more of this type of 'Let's see
what we can do about it' in every
community in America."

Finds Plane Necessary
Realizing that a daily trip by

au-

tomobile would consume six hours
of driving, he mortgaged his car and
bought an airplane. Now Mrs. Ruth
Mason, his third grade teacher,
shares the 11.20 a day expenses for
his Cessna 120, and keeps her car
at the New Haven end of the line.
Smith's car is kept at Blue Grass
Field.
When they began their daily
flights, they were forced to drive to
the Cincinnati airport to board the
plane, which added an hour to the
flying time. A neighbor, seeing

Smith's need, built
In the principal's backyard. With
this added convenience, they can
leave home at 7:15 and arrive here
for an eight o'clock class.
Except for one day, the two flying students have not been late.
That morning, June 7, they were
suddenly caught in a big cloud.
When he tried to bank out, the
plane went into a spin. The altitude
dropped quickly from 3500 to 700
feet, but the plane recovered and
they arrived at the airport on time.
After Smith had let Mrs. Mason
out and was driving toward Henry
Clay for his practice teaching' session, a truck plowed into his car
and caused him to be 15 minutes
late. Later, he took a history quiz

him. Smith announced that several
new courses would be offered at the
school that fall, including psychology, social science and driver training. He used his own car to train
drivers.
Turning to recreational facilities,
practically
he went to
Great Lakes Naval Training Station
and procured athletic equipment
worth $1250 from the athletic officer there.
Seeking to obtain equipment for a
commercial course at New Haven,
Smith had an interview with Mr.
Baruch again, and was sent to Billy
Rose. Rose attempted to help him
through a friend in the War Assets
Administration,
but no equipment
was available. Vice President Bark-le- y
was also unable to help.
Smith returned to his school and
laid the facts before the board which
granted permission to institute the
course next year.
Then the need arose for him to
attend UK and get his degree. He
had been teaching on an emergency
certificate, and the school patrons
wanted better qualifications.
During his improvement
campaign, he had been taking a driver
training course at Cincinnati and
flying lessons in addition. After 60

Miss Chloe Gifford and Dr. Gladys Hoagland Groves discuss plans
in Memorial Hall Tuesday night for the Family Life Institute program which was held on the campus this week. Miss Gifford presided
over the meeting and Dr. Groves opened the session with a lecture on
"Dynamic Marriage and Family Living."

Persons dissatisfied
with their
home life have a social responsibility
to correct their difficulties.
Dr.
Gladys Hoagland Groves, director of
the Groves Conference on Conservation of Marriage and Family. Chapel
Hill. N. C . stated In a talk at Memorial Hall Tuesday night.
Dr. Groves, whose topic was "Dynamic Marriage and Family Living."
spoke in connection with the third
annual UK Family Life Institute.
"Marriage and family living are
more than a way of life." Dr. Groves
continued; "they are the result of
many centuries of social evperience
and have helped to make our so--I
ciety what It is today. The kind of
world we are to live in tomorrow
will be decided in part by the kind
of home life we build now."
Unhappy Lives Can Be Helped
Many persons leading unhappy
home lives can be helped by competent marriage and family counseling, she said, while others who are
basically unhappy because of their
own individual make-u- p
and outlook may noed a "deeper emotional
ventilation" often requiring psychiatric help.
An unhappy home life is particularly dangerous to the child. Dr.
Groves stated, because it destroys
his confidence in his own ability to
make a satisfying marriage.
"Since parents cannot predict
whom their son or daughter will
marry, they should take action to
make available to all young people
helpful education for marriage, she
asserted. Dr. Groves urged that
greater efforts be made to provide
education for marriage in the high
schools and grade schools. She said
also that such educational facilities
should be provided for those already married so they will learn the
responsibilities
of marriage and
family life.

Dr. Groves has served on the faculties of various colleges and universities, including Oregon State and

She cited special papers, maps, letters, and records in each of these
