Mary Lawlor was awarded a $5,000 college scholarship by General Mills, which for the 21st consecutive year has sponsored the Betty Crocker Search. The contest, until two years ago, was strictly an all-female event for high school seniors. When; male students indicated they wanted to try for the scholarship money, the name of the contest was changed from the Betty Crocker Search for the Homemaker of Tomorrow to the Search for. Leadership in Family Living.

Last year one of the few male state winners won a third place. This year, a boy won second place and $4000; he is Robert Biernacki of La Porte, Ind. and "watch out for next year" said some of the males present. At the 1975 contest, eight of the state winners were boy students, and although in a definite minority, their presence added a new dimension to the fun week organized by General Mills company for the contestants from all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The group was entertained with an all-expense-paid educational tour of Washington, D.

C. from Sunday until Wednesday, when they arrived in Williamsburg for a tour of colonial historic sights. During the period of touring together, some fast friendships have sprung up between boys and girls. Some of them organized themselves into a musical group called the Crockettes. Other winners of scholarships, as announced at a final banquet Thursday night at the Williamsburg Conference Center, were: third place, $3,000, Kristine Westrom, Brooklyn Park, fourth place, $2,000, Craig Dionne, Thibodaux, La.

Each state winner got a $1,500 scholarship after being chosen on the basis of written examinations prepared and scored by Science Research Associates, Chicago. More than $2 million in scholarships have been awarded by the milling company in Minneapolis, with $111,000 being awarded this year alone: The top winner, Mary Lawlor, plans to use her scholarship at John Carroll University, Ohio, where she expects to major in biochemistry. She is an honor student at Beaumont School for Girls, Cleveland Heights, and was named Youth of the Year by the local Exchange Club. As a special project, she spent 12 days working with the Department of Community Relations of Cleveland Heights. "This was a great chance to see the practical side of a small-town government in action," she reported.

Her interest in politics brought her to Washington last year with Project Close-Up, for which she received a scholarship. General Mills president E. Robert Kinney, in awarding the scholarships Thursday night, pointed to the strength and adaptability of the American family qualities which have endured through the years. "There is concern at this time about the effects that the dual problems of inflation and recession are having on American families, their lives, family intactness, attitudes, values and hopes for the future," he continued. "Under the pressure of daily money problems and concern about the country, life sometimes looks bleak.

But studies show that while the American family may be having a more difficult time, the vast majority feel that the difficult times have served to strengthen family members' commitment to a stronger value system. "There is an underlying strength that points to a more optimistic outlook, with many families feeling they will come out of present difficulties smarter and better than they were before including the fact that they will be less wasteful, better shoppers and managers, satisfied with less, more sympathetic to the poor, and -they will return to basic values. Once again the sturdiness and resilience of the American family is proved." 5SSSS When it comes to suit blouses; Judy Bond Top notch sleeveless styles in a first class fabric Dacron polyester.
