1940 SOLDIERS CHORUS
"My hose must give me back my
job when I turn in my pack, But
who will make that other guy give
me my old girl back?"—Millard
Milburne Rice, In Saturday Eve
ning Poet.
A darn good question and one
that George Gurley, S wink Lee,
Lefty Stacia, Hurley Midgett and
several other guys are asking. But
who's afraid of the draft? If you
are under Twenty One and over
Thirty Six you have nothing to
worry about.

Mind Your Mind
James Watson, M. D.
Division of Mental Hygiene
There are many people who are
seeking for help to solve their own
personality problems. Such people
would do well to send for the list
of publications of the National
Committee, for Mental Hygiene for
among the pamphlets and books
listed they would be sure to find
some which deal with their own
particular problems.
.rtjiiuiig ijudkm warnegies now
to Win Friends and Influence Peo
ple" is now so well known that it
hardly needs mention. Some people
have not found it much good but a
great many have received help
from it. "About Ourselves" by H.
Ά. Overstreet has given to many
people a new understanding of
their moods and peculiarities. The
same author's book entitled 'In
fluencing Human Behavior" is
packed with information about
human nature in oneself and oth
ers and how to make the most of
life.
There are two exceedingly help
ful books by a minister and a man
who knows the human mind that I
should like to recommend. Many
people have told me about how
much good they got out of these
two books so I bought them. They
are by James Gorcvon Gilkey pub
lished by the MacMillan Co. of New
York at $1.75 and many thousands
of them have been sold.
One is entitled "Solving Life's
Everyday Problems" and contains
twelve lectures dealing with such
themes as "Learning to Forget";
"Keeping Up One's Courage";
"Getting Along with Other Peo
ple"; "Staying Young as One
Grows Old"; and similar subjects.
The other is entitled "Managing
One's Self" and deals with such
common personal needs as "Mas
tering An Inferiority Complex";
"Learning to Work Under Pres
sure"; "Maintaining One's Com
posure"; "Keeping Enthusiastic A
bout One's Job"; and other things
of vital importance to every in
dividual who is trying to live ef
fectively.
This completes the answers to
enquiries about reading matter.
There are of course multitudes of
books and articles published on
this subject but a few well-chosen
books and pamphlets which one
can read over and over are likely
to be of more value than a book
case which lacks the personal
touch.
