To Enjoy One Job Have Many, Mauney Advises B, ROBERT BROWN In Knoxville Journal Versatility has preserved youth for John Haralson Mauney. "Don't work," is his advice, "unles \ou can love the work." And to prove his philosophy, this hospital manager, real estate man. farmer, dairyman, truck Gardner, ex , ditive. contractor, father, husband and guardian has only to be seen. He j> 4.") and looks 30. "Many people ruin their health and prow old prematurely by plodding," he -aid. "My advice would almost be 'don't work,' because I believe a per son ought to do only that work which i- ? interesting to him that it is not work at all, but play." Mr. Mauney is "secretary" of Fort Sanders Hospital. He modestly gives himself this title, but as a matter of fact, he owns the controlling inler est. Outside the hospital, Mr. Mauney wner of a farm and dairy, which he humorously alludes to as the "Cow's Country Club." Soon it will be given a definite name, however ; either Bear Hollow Dairy of Fort Sanders Dairy. Here the humorous and the prac tical side meet, in his "personal drink ing cups" for the cows. When a ??ow 1 thrusts her nose in her drinking bowl a trick gadget automatically turns on the water. He is also contractor for two homes now under construction in West Knoxville. Horn in Murphy, N. C., John Mau ney ftill in high school, was attracted by the most mysterious thing in the nciphborhood ? the telegraph in the railroad station. Out of school, he set about learning telegraphy. For a salary of five dol lars a month, he worked long hours for a year. Then he was raised to [eight dollars. A job as telegraph operator in Cul berson, a few miles away, came his way. Here he worked for $25 a month, not bad for a lad of 17. After a year, the railroad, the old A. K. & N., put him with the con struction gang in charge of all the time keepers. Soon he was trans ferred to Knoxville as cashier of the railroad. On the same day that he came tr. Moonev," the youthful cashier told him. "Not me; I know nothing about hospitals." "Yes, it's you we want." Dr. Hub bell replied. "You hav?- been rec ommended to us. 1 will not say by whom." "And 1 never learned who recom mended me, or what he recommended me for,'" Mr. Mauney said. "I went, and there was no end of trouble. It is always that way when everybody knows more about the job than the boss. But I made it a littl<- easier by staying a month before I let them know I was manager. "After four years L. M. U. sold the hospital to the city of Knoxville and took me to Harropate. as business manager of the university, and later, manager of their forestry depart ment. I managed to pet two year?- <>f university work while I was there. "Then a proup of the physician* I had worked for opened th?- Fort San- i deis Hospital, and asked me to be come ma nape r." The farm kept calling to him, too. He bought a place of -U'O acres, a* what was known as Wripht's Kerry, or Bear Hollow, in Blount County, and * "re bepan to establish his < ow>* Country Club." Tom West, veteran farmer, now runs th?- place for him. and a modern dairy is now being built. The farm, across the . river, ha> brought nearer his home in Knoxville by his own ferry, oper ated by river current power. For several years, however. Mr. | Mauney has conducted a dairy at j his home. Bluff View Road, just be- ] yond Sequoyah Hills. There he pro- j duce- all the milk needed for the hospital, and has a milk route be- j side? Throuph all his diver- if ied "jobs" | there* can be seen evidence of the | direction of the sinple mind. For 1 instance, there is the same scrupulous cleanliness in his dairy that is neces sary in the hospital. And there is the same fipht against bacteria. When the dairy was first established, bacteria in the milk was comparitively hiph. He found that the milk put into bottles cooled too slowly, since the center of the bottle stayed warm lonp enough for the bacteria to prow. He remedied this by installing a cooler, in which the milk trickles over an ice-filled cone, and cools from the fresh milk temperature to below 4(1 degrees in just a few mo ments. And the bacterial content is nc-w far below the average, he said. 1 He has been raising on his farm I about two-thirds of the vegetables uwed by the hospital, also. And with ' all this work, which sometimes neces- i sarily includes his milking some of ! the cows, he is a building contractor. ; One of his buildings, a new home j for Dr. William R. Cross, on Alta Vista Way. i> nearing completion. Another residence in Wtet Knoxville was started by him last week. Mr. and Mrs. Mauney have two children. Helen Elizabeth, 21 and Ada Ruth. 15. They have taken the guardianship of another child, Zena Buslova. 12. Zena's father ami mother were both physicians in the Russian army. Her father was killed, and she came to America ?vith her mother, who be came resident physician at Fort San ders Hospital. Mrs. Buslova died last ' July, and the Mauneys took the little girl. Add to ail thi- the fact that Mr. Mauney has built several pieces of the furniture in his home, and we | reach the conclusion he is a strenuous 'worker So it would seem, but: "1 have the best time imaginable.*' . he said. "It is the variety. I'd nev er be able to -it ir; the hospital all day. and do nothing else. I wouldn't want to be merely a dairyman nor to build and do nothing else.
