Guest. standing in their particular line of work, whether it be doing some small job or something of great importance. If a man of initiative gives his word he will do a thing, he either does it or comes back to the one whom he gave his word to and tells him why it cannot be done. Then, perhaps other plans will be made. But, mark you this, he does not content himself with the thought that it could not be done and' lets his boss find out by his usual method of checking, this man either gets the job done or, finding that it cannot be done comes immediately to his boss and says so—and this man too, is a success for he is dependable. Now if you would succeed on your job—whether it be doing something with responsibility and authority or something of minor importance—check yourself with this: Do I do the right thing without being told? How many times do I have to be told more than once? Keeping always this one thing in mind—no one is fit to handle a job unless he does what he is told, or tells his boss when he cannot. RAYMOND HARRIS. 7-20-33. WELL KNOWN L. H. C. CLUB MAN IS DEAD IS ENTERTAINED William Bonjaniin Harrifj I’asses Suddenly From Heart Attack JACK NEWMAN INITIATIVE (Continued from Page One) kind of work. A man that can do things without being told is thinking and acting, and if he can do the right thing, he is thinking and acting right. I am convinced that the Girl’s Club in both mills is doing a great work towards developing initiative and in doing so is bringing out capacities that have been unknown to all of us. People do not necessarily have to be highly educated to have in itiative. We find men and wom en in all walks of life with ini tiative and as a rule they are out Dearest Jack, you have left us. Left the home you loved so Avell; But some day we hope to meet you And together we shall dwell. In the graveyard softly sleeping. While the flowers gently wave. Lies one we loved so dearly, In his soft and silent grave. How they miss your gentle foot steps. How they miss your dear sweet face; They miss you round the family table. Miss you, dear Jack, at every place. Some may think we soon forget thee. And our wounded hearts be healed; But they little know the sorrow That’s within our hearts con cealed. Farewell, alas, our dear kind Jack, Thy form lies cold and still; Though we would never wish you back, A place is left that the world cannot fill. —A FRIEND. Vera Briggs: “Annie, how do you like your new washing ma chine?” Annie Sutton: “Not at all. Every time I get into it to take a bath the paddles bruise me something terrible.” William Benjamin Harris, 67, died suddenly Monday evening, July 10th, at his home east of Elkin from a heart attack.

In no other manufacturing business with which I am acquainted is it so important that the work be gin right, and continue right, straight on through the succes sive processes. The various de partments can show their cooper ation by suggesting improvements in other departments, and point ing out defects that come to them from the others. If all of us try to do our work as well as we pos sibly can before it is turned over to the next department to carry on into the finished goods, we will have done good work. W. A. NEAVES.
