YOUR JOB
Wherever you’re working—in
office or shop,
And however far you may be
from the top—
And though you may think
you’re treading the mill,
Don’t ever belittle the job
that you fill;
For, however little your job
may appear.
You’re just as important as
some little gear.
That meshes with others in
some big machine.
That helps keep it going—
though never is seen.
They could, do without you—
we’ll have to admit—
But business keeps on, when
the big fellows quit!
And always remember, my lad,
if you can,
The job’s more important—
(oh yes)—^than the man!
So if it’s your hope to stay off
the shelf.
Think more of your job than
you do of yourself.
Your job is important—don’t
think it is not—
So try hard to give it the best
that you’ve got!
And don’t think ever you’re of
little account—
Remember, you’re part of the
total amount.
If they didn’t need you, you
wouldn’t be there—
So, always, my lad, keep your
chin in the air.
A digger of ditches, mechanic,
or clerk—
THINK WELL OF YOUR
COMPANY,
YOURSELF, AND YOUR
WORK!

SUCCESS
Success is not rare—it is com
mon. Very few miss a measure
of it. It is not a matter of luck,
or contesting—for certainly no
success can come from prevent
ing the success of another. It
is a matter of adjusting one’s
abilities to a service needed by
others. There is no other pos
sible success. But most people
think of it in terms of getting;
success, however, begins in
terms of giving—Henry Ford.
THE PARKING PROBLEM
I know that all those who come here by automobile at pres
ent have difficulty in finding proper parking space for their
cars, and also some have a little hardship in getting out of
the places where they park their cars.
I am fully aware of this condition and it has my attention.
Please bear in mind there are employed at the present time
hundreds of men on construction work who are here only
temporarily—all of whom, however, arrive here by auto.
In a very short period of time, when these men have finished
their work here, the condition will be much more comfortable
for everybody, and as soon as this time has arrived I will
see to it that proper arrangements are made so that every
body’s car may be properly parked and sufficient space allow
ed to get out without difficulty.
Meanwhile, however, I must ask you to be patient and co
operate, realizing that as soon as possible we will make perma
nent arrangements to everybody’s satisfaction.
Sincerely yours,
HARRY H. STRAUS,
President.
UNAVOIDABLE DEUY
CAFETERU OPENING
Mr. Boyd, Cafeteria mana
ger, believes that apologies are
in order. It was his sincere be
lief that by June 15, the cafe
teria would be running full
blast. However, due to an un
avoidable hold-up the new
cafeteria must hol'd off its serv
ices for a few more days. So
until the hold-up is eliminated,
let’s all be as patient as possi
ble. Mr. Boyd is doing every
thing humanly possible to open
the cafeteria doors within a
few days.
HIS CHANCES
One Negro was worrying
about the chance of his being
drafted for the army. The other
consoled him. “There’s two
things that can happen, boy.
You is either drafted or you
ain’t drafted. If you ain’t you
can forget it; if you is, you still
got two chances. You may be
sent to the front and you may
not. If you go to the front, you
still got two chances, you may
get shot and you may not. If
you get shot, you still have two
chances, you may die and you
may not! And even if you die,
you still has two chances.”
Boss: “You are twenty min
utes late again. Don’t you
know what time we start work
at this factory?”
New Employee: “No, sir,
they’re always at it when I get
there.”
Justice of the Peace to wit
ness: “Last week you told the
court that you had only one
brother but your sister has
sworn that she has two. Now,
out with the truth!”
Walter Heller Dies
We regret to announce the
death of one of our old em
ployees, Walter Heller, from
the Champagne Printing De
partment, who passed away on
June 30 at the John Hopkins
Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland,
following a brain operation. He
is survived by his wife, Mrs.
Blanche Heller, and one son,
Walter, Jr., 4 years old.
He has been in the employ of
Mr. Straus for about eight or
nine years and was well thought
of by his fellow workers. His
remains were taken to the home
of his parents at Jersey City,
N. J., from whence he will be
buried.
There is but little of this
world’s consolation that we
have to offer other than deep
ly sympathiing with his wife
and son, and his parents over
the loss of a good fellow, a good
father, and a good husband.
ENGINEERS SMILE
Everyone in the Engineering
department is quite enthused
and pleased with their new of
fice, an'd it is easy to see the
reason. The new quarters have
everything a modern office
would include. There is a suf
ficient amount of natural light,
and at necessary times there is
a new flourescent light system.
Above all, the working space is
something to be proud of. The
new office was occupied on
Saturday, June 14.
One of those flighty city
women was visiting in the hills
of Transylvania county.
She — “This place has so
many cdd and peculiar peo
ple.”
Native—“Yes. Most of them
go home by the first of Septem
ber.”
