THE NAVY GETS THEM YOUNG
From John Earl May of Zebulon comes a request to the
Navy Editor of the Record for the booklet on Life in the United
States Navy. Interesting is the fact that John Earl May is but 11.
AND IT’S DANGEROUS TOO
Beginning next week we plan to publish a list of the license
numbers from cars which double-park on Main Street. We firmly
believe that in time of war it is the patriotic duty of all good
Amercans not to frazzle the nerves of other good Amercans by
hogging the street with a parked car even though only for a
few minutes.
Secretarial Duties
Because the secretary is one of
the most important officers of an
organization and because there is
a confusion of ideas as to the du
ties pertaining to the office, the
article below is reprinted from The
Christian Science Monitor. It is
well worth saving. Also worthy
of note is the fact that minutes
of a meeting are meant for mem
bers and not for the public gen
erally and therefore differ from
a report of the same meeting pre
pared for a newspapr to publish.
In the paper it is best to suppress
whatever might cause discord or
misunderstanding, while it may be
necessary to include it in minutes.
Routine business of any meeting,
such as roll call, reading of min
utes, etc., is not news and should
not be included in an account for
publication.
The Recording Secretary
The recording secretary is the
historian of the club. The secre
tary's record, commonly called the
minutes, is the most enduring
thing about the organization. The
minutes should constitute a record
of what is actually done, not the
opinion of the secretary. The
amount of discussion and supple
mentary motions that are included
will depend on the custom of the
society. Some clubs prefer very
full minutes, others very scant.
The secretary will have to learn
these things and be governed ac
cordingly.
Good minutes should conform to
the following rules:
Always write the place and
date at the top of the right hand
page.
Begin a new page for the min
utes of each meeting.
Write only on the right-hand
page. The opposite page is for
corrections.
Leave a Margin
Leave an inch margin at the left
of the page. Use the margin for
index notations.
Indent the first word of each
paragraph.
Make a separate paragraph of
each item.
In the first paragraph, give the
name of the society, the kind of
meeting (whether regular, special
or adjourned), the place of meet
puars^

ing, and the date.
Stat when and by whom the
meeting was called to order,
whether by the president, vice
president, or temporary chairman,
and give the name.
If the regular secretary was ab
sent, give the name of the person
who was appointed secretary pro
tern.
If the reading of the minutes
was omitted, explain why.
Record each motion and the
name of the mover, the disposition
of the motion, whether carried or
lost, postponed, or referred to a
particular committee.
Minutes should be written in
the third person.
Do not abbreviate.
Use punctuation and quotation
marks according to common us
age.
Minutes should be prepared in
permanent form before being read
and approved; otherwise there is
no proof that the record is the
one approved by the society.
Minutes should be written in

final form by the person who took
the notes. They should be signed
by the person who wrote them.
The regular secretary, if present
at the succeeding meeting, at which
the minutes arc read, reads the
minutes and also reads the name |
that is signed, “ j
Secretary pro tern." j
While minutes should be brief
they must contain all the essen
tial facts. For instance, if dele
gates were elected to a convention, j
the minutes should state the
names of the delegates, the full
name of the convention, and the
place and date.
Test your minutes by this ques- ‘
tion: “Would a person, who was!
not present at the meeting, gain i
a comprehensive idea of it from
these minutes?”
Before the meeting, the secre
tary should prepare for the presi
dent a list of all business that is to
come before the meeting.
In the absence of both the pres
ident and the vice-president, the
secretary should call the meeting
to order and ask the house to elect
a chairman pro tem. The sec
retary may not preside except dur
ing the election.
From the Censors
Those who have relatives and
friends in the U. S. armed forces
and who want to write to them are
asked by government censors to
observe a few rules which will
hasten the delivery of mail.
First, remember that all letters
must be opened and the contents
approved or erased.
Second, remember that your
letter might chance to fall into
the hands of spy or avowed ene
my. Write nothing that will be
helpful to them.
Make letters short, thus speed
ing the work of a censor who has
not the time for too much family
news. (
Write your address plainly on
both outside and inside your let
ter, also putting the name of the
one who is to receive it inside
the envelope as well as on the
envelope itself..
The censor does not say so, but
it may help the soldier to read
little of so-called hardship at
home or of criticism of what is
being done. Don’t send a sad,
weepy letter to a man who may
already have about all to stand
he is equal to. Bravery has its
place at home as well as on the
front.

BEHIND THE SCENES .. co
'BORROWED’ SALES —ln
spite of increasing “spottiness' ’ in
purchasing power due to disloca
tions, retail trade for the nation
as a whole shows startling activi
ty for January. Instead of the cus
tomary post-holiday slump, recent
week have set all-time January
highs—27, 32 and 45 per cent
ahead of the record totals depart
ment stores chalked up a year
ago. Such a spending pace brings
little jubilation to retailers, who
know it’s mainly due to customers’
anticipating future shortages, and
future declines in quality of mer
chandise when the pinch of priori
ties and substitute materials begins
to be reflected in new goods on |
the shelves. Thus the indications
are that, in many lines of mer
chandise, the unusually good Jan
uary business has been “borrowed '
from the near future.

income and industrial production,
true to expectations, hit all-time
peaks for 1941. Income was $92,-
200,000,000 —about 16 billions
ahead of that year to which finan
cial highs always are compared,
1929. As a guard against over
enthusiasm at these statistics it
may be mentioned that about one
third of the gain over 1940 was
absorbed by higher prices, and that

. . . The production index moved
up from 139 to 168 meaning our
industries produced one and two
tflirds times as much as in the
average year 1935-39. This 29-
point gain was one of the largest
ever recorded and, of course, the
final 168 represents the highest
rate of industrial production in
