HONESTT SPEAKING It was Sunday, a busy day for Hardee’s restaur ant and its employees. The mid day rush was over. Looking through the big glass window facing 'the street, Darrell Parker, as sistant manager of Har dee’s of Edenton, North Carolina, saw a lady’s handbag sitting on one of the outside tables. Think ing of the lady who left it and her probable anxiety, he immediately stepped outside and looked around. Seeing no one, he picked up the handbag and car ried it into the restaurant. His first thoughts were of identification—so he open ed the bag and began looking. In his search to Seagrams SeveaCroma m m Iff *A«> ▼ g *l4/5 o*. - mum mstuus a mm. a**. «usu simky. n u00r.«% ssMssgg^ identify the owner, he dis covered $610.00 in cash and a check in the amount of $104.00. With that amount of money lost, Darrell knew the owner would be back—to he im mediately put ail contents back into the handbag and locked it in a cabinet for safekeeping. A short time later the telephone rang. It was a long distance call from a lady asking about a loat handbag. Darrell told her one had been left there at Hardee’s and requested a description for identifica tion purposes. She easily described the handbag and her ownership was estab lished. Then stating she would return as soon as possible, the conversation ended. Returning sometime lat er for her handbag, the lady rewarded Darrell $lO for his honesty.
