Ballinger. i What Is A Half-huh ' By Ruth Taylor Dr. Stelzle. oof ore hr bframc a Prcsby tcrian minister, was a union machinist. I dor. t know of which ho was the most proud. • Put he in ■"! to ' • t! : v hr: ! , ge g- re . in I - and one thing that made machinists such i mightv fine men was that they had learned | the important e of am*rae\.

Not .501 or .491), Am ma chinist knows that." Ail being grist to my editorial mill. I wrote it out and stuck it up in front of me. Now here’s a queer thing. When I checked Over the work I had done that day I didn't ! find any loose < nds. I’d finished each job I'd tackled. There was plenty left to be d me the next day - but what I had done, had been done right. “A half inch is .500. Not .501. Not. .499." Think of the men you admire most. Isn’t a lot of that admiration because' you can depend on them? Because their word is good" Because they have principle's - and In not deviate from those principles? “A half inch is .500. Not .501. Nat .499’’. When you have been disappointed in peo ple. hasn't it been because they didn't live up—not to your standards- but to theirs? Because they spoke one way, and acted an otlu i ? Because they cut corners and b\ lit tle signs showed that they were not accur ate, not to be wholly trusted? "A half inch is .500. Not .501. Not .499." It is just as easy to be accurate as careless, in fact it is a lot easier. If you always tell the truth, then you never have to omem ber what you said before. If you do your job accurately the first time, then ou don’t have to do it over. If you learn something thoroughly, then it will always belong to you and serve you not leave vou'hieh and dry at the wrong moment. If . \ make a habit of keeping your word, then you will give if sparingly and it will count for a great deal with those with whom vou have to deal. “A half inch is .500. Not .501. Not .499. I b e machine to which that is not applied ' won't work successfully. The man to whom that is nt t applied will lose out in the long run. "A half inch is 500. Not .501. Not .49:)." Any machinist will tell you that is a good thing to r. mi mber at all times.
