Washington, Sept. 1. ? With
Congress out ot the way as the fo
cus of public attention, for the
time being, Washington is relax
ing by paying more attention to
the doings and personalities of
mep and women whose functions
are not primarily political.
Somebody raised the question
around the table at the National
Press Club, as to who is the hard
est-working member of the Presi
dent's Cabinet. After a very brief
discussion there was unanimous
agreement that that honor goes
to Harold W. Xckes, Secretary of
the Interior.
Certainly no other Cabinet
member has so many jobs. He
gets appointed to committees and
commissions because he has prov
ed himself such a tireless worker
and a tlrst-rate executive. He
gets things done. ?-?
Duties of Mr. Ickes
The work <n Secretary of the
Interior covers a fairly wide range
of interests, which most of Mr.
Ickes' predecessors have fo""?
enough to attend to. But in addi
tion to the duties involved in ad
ministering the Public Land Of
Ace, the Reclamation Service. the
Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Pat
ent Office and a few other bran
ches' of the Interor Department
Mr Ickes Is the head of the Pub
lic Works Administration, in
charge of all grants and loans i to
states and communities for public
works of all kinds. That is a Job
which would keep an ordinary
man busy it he did nothing else.
But besides that Mr. Ickes is
chairman of National Resources
Commltte, Member of National
Forest Reservation Comn^sslon,
Member of Migratory Bird Con
servation Commission, Member of
District of Columbia Permanent
System of Highways Commission,
Chairman of Special Committee
on Special Site for Auditorium in
Washington, Chairman of Special
Committee, on Space Control In
Government Buildings, Member
of Smithsonian Institution, Mem
ber of National Emergency Coun
cil, Director of the Virgin Viands
Company, Member of Council of
National Defense, , Patron ex of
ficio of Howard University, Me"1"
ber of Planning Committee on
Mineral Policy. Member of Com
mittee on National Land Pr0.D
lems. Member of National Advis
ory Council on Religion in edu
cation and Member of the Federal
Loan Committee.
On top of all that, the President
has lust appointed Mr. Ickes Ad
minls^ator of the Puerto Rico
Reconstruction AdnninstiaJon,

lie concern, except fa he writes
an opinion, is when he questions
attorneys from the bench in the
course of arguments on a case.
By the tone dnd phrasing of
his questions, a justice may give
expression to his own views of
the fundamental issues at stake.
Senator ? now Justice ? Black, as
chairman of the Senate Investi
gating Committee, was an adept
at asking searching* questions.
As a member of the Supreme
Court, his friends expect him to
avail himself of opportunities to
express himself by that Socratic
method. But such opportunities
are few, and if he follows the
precedent set by Justice Cardozo,
up to now the "baby" ' of the |
Court, he will not ask any ques
tions from the bench during the
first term after he takes his seat.
BUNN SCHOOL NEWS
As a result of the untiring ef-l
forts of leaders in the district to
ward advancing the progress of '
the Bunn public schools, they
have grown to a peak that far ex
cels the hope and aspirations of
even the most prophetic citizen '
of a decade ago.. Residents of the
big high school district which is
composed of the various elemen-i
tary school communities have'
manifested much interest in the
local school system and support
every move' to advance its growth.
Last year the P. T. A. working in
the various schools of the system .
did a Wonderful and tremendous
job in providing very necessary!
equipment for the schools. The|
P. T. A. operating in only two
units of the district added about
$2,000 worth of this "equipment
last yeaiV
Renewed interest is already
realized for this year's activities.
The P. T. A. scheduled its first J
1. '.eating for -Wednesday night,
j Sept. 1. It was delighted with
! an auditorium full of parents
and friends of the school::.
] The higlv school is installing'
for the first time a commercial!
department. This department isj
destined to meet the needs of j
many boys and girls who may not]
: be able to go to college, as welll
] as -those who may attend cdllegoj
later. The school is indeed fortu-l
nate in securing this additional
department.
j The agriculture department tyill!
1 operate full time this year. This]
, will result in far better service to I
: the agricultural communities. Mr. j
. O. J. Rochester, who heads this
department has done some very I
j fine work and rendered a real ser-l
i vice to the communities this sum-j.
; mer. It is hoped that this depart-]
| ment will be greatly expanded
i and improved during the year.
I Another outstanding addition i
| to the Bunn school this year is)
; the r new department of music I
headed by Miss Faustina Shearen
j of Wake Forest. Owing to thej
! farsigiited generosity of the good!,
I citizens of the community work
ing through the Bunn P. T. A. !
j Public school music will be taught]
[ in all the first seven grades. Pia-l
| no will also be taught at reason- [
! able_ rates. The school no doubt
: will sponsor a real glee club this
'year.
In the various sports last year
Bunn school produced some very
fine teams, especially in Dramat
ics and basket .ball. Plans are now
being made for larger participa
tion of students in the various ex
tra curricular activities of the
school. Debating societies will be
organized soon after school opens
and no doubt much interest will
| be shown in this very important ,
i phase of educational training.
With such a wide and varied '
course of study being offered stu
dents in the many departments of |
the high school and with nine full1
time high school teachers, it isj
believed many boys and girls who
have dropped out of school, for,
one reason or another, will find
their way back this year to avail
themselves of an opportunity for
edufatioqnl training that will be
second to none in this section of
the state. Bunn school district is
indeed very fortunate to have,
such educational training courses;
to offer'its boys and girls.
The pr^ent school board is
composed of Messrs. J. P. Massey.l
,|W. A. WHggs, C. T. ittoody, John1
. Chamblee and J. A. Ray. These
gentlemen have done much to im-;
prove the school system. * They
j are keenly 'interested in the wel-l
fare of all the schools and are!
giving much time and effort to
wards improving them.
M. Thomas Lamm is supervis
ing principal of the Bunn public
schools. Mr. Lamm has had broad
experience in teaching ,and oper
ating schools. He is thoroughly
democratic in his dealings with
teachers, pupils, and the public;;
is a good organizer and knows
how to^ accomplish things. At all
times, Mr. Lamm strives to do
everything in his power to better
the schools and aid the students
to betiter themselves. He has nev
er been known to shun any stu
dent, or (ail to help a student
when, necessary.
Mr. Lamm repeived his A. B.
Degree from Wake Forest College
and has also finished required res
ident work on his Master's De
gree. He also holds a new prin
cipal's life certificate which per
mits him to teach any subject* in
the high school.
Let's everybody get out and do
all we can for our schools ? for
the sake of the children.
