Our thanks to good friend
Kenneth Riggs for passing
aiong to us the following lines on
The Art of Getting Along. The
author is unknown.
Sooner or later a man, if he is
wise, discovers that life is a
mixture of good days and bad,
victory and defeat, give and
take.
He learns that it doesn’t pay
to be a sensitive soul; that he
should let some things go over
his head like water off a duck’s
back. He learns that- he who
loses his temper usually loses
out.
He learns that all men have
burnt toast for breakfast now
and then, and that he shouldn’t
take the other fellow’s grouch
too seriously.
He learns that carrying a chip
on his shoulder is ^e easiest
way to get into a fight. He learns
that the quickest way to become
unpopular is to carry tales and
gossip about others.
He learns that buck-passing
always turns out to be a
boomerang, and that it never
pays. He comes to realize that
the busings could run along
perfectly without him.
He learns that everyone is
human and that it doesn’t do
any harm to smile and say
‘‘Ciood Morning” even if it is
raining. _
He learns that most of the
other fellows are as ambitious
as he is. and that they have
brains that are as good or
better, and that hard work and
not cleverness is the secret of
success.
He learns to sympathize with
the youngster coming into the
business, because he remem
bers how bewildered he was
when he first started out.
He learns not to worry when
he loses an order, because
experience has shown that if he
always gives his best, his
average will break pretty even.
He learns that no man ever
got to first base alone, and that
it is only through cooperative
effort that we move on to better
things.
He learns that bosses are no
monsters, trying to get the last
ounce of work out of him for the
least amount of pay, but that
they are usually fine men who
have succeeded through hard
work and who want to do the
ri^t thing.
He learns that folks are not
any harder to get along with in
one place than another, and that
the “getting along” depends
about ninety-eight percent on
his own behavior.

Speaking to a gathering of
church officials from Aree
counties last Saturday produced
fringe benefits for the Mirror’s
editor. It happened at the Silver
Hill Christian Church, near
Grantsboro.
Hie home folks down there
spread a picnic lunch that in
cluded not only the usual
delicacies, but additional items
like coUards cooked with plenty
of hog meat and commeal
dumplings.
Apparently, everybody
brou^t at least one cake. Much
as we wanted to, we couldn’t
sample them all, but this idea
