She tod of the ex periences she had in being se lected American Mother of the Year 1957. Her term will expire in a few weeks. Each state has its own Mothers committee which chooses the mother of that state. Then the group from the 48 states, Alaska, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the District of Co lumbia, are called into New York where the selection is finally made by the American Mothers Committee, formerly called the Golden Rule Committee. To qualify for the state or American mother one must be active In church and community work and have reared a good family. Mrs. Abel was presented by the 4-H girls club of Polk County. Mrs. Abel told of the thrill when she was announced as un animous choice of the commit tee for the honor of American Mother for 1957. Mrs. Abel stat ed every one of the mothers cho sen by their states had a com mon goal, so strong it became an obsession with them. Nothing coy Id keep the moth er from accomplishing this goal, which in every case was the edlcation for her child or children, not always a college education but education suffi cient to train them for earning a living or trade. Also in each case there was an obstacle to over come to achieve this goal.

As a member of the committee for youth Mrs. Abel told of the study made by this group on de linquency. She said the four influences In moulding the child's charact er were taken up in the. study. First they found the schools were doing an excellent job and could not be blamed for increasing de linquency. Second it was found the churches were never so a lert as now to all the social prob lems. So the blame could not be rightfully placed there. Third, the community was doing a lot to help the young folk with their establishment of recreation cen ters and supervised programs, swimming pools and girls and boys clubs, where then was the trouble? It was in the home. Here they found the reason for many cases of juvenile de linquency. She said delinquency begins at various ages, it is the time or place in an individual's life when he or she feels separated, un wanted and friendless. She closed with the reference to the inscription appearing on the stairway arch at the state capitol building which reads, "the salvation of the state is the watchfulness of its citizens," and added the salvation of the home is the watchfulness of the moth er.
