APRIL t, 1955 ' DRESSING FOR THE JOB By Maurice Vincent pV.ANK ADAMS, sitting in the *• glittering waiting room of GEN ERAL MACHINES, INC., felt un •comfortable in the presence of the smartly groomed receptionist and the dozen well dressed men who were also after jobs. Looking ovet the immediate competition, Frank felt he didn’t stack up too well “You may go in, Mr. Svvqrt heart,” said the girl. The man arose with ease and walked con fidently towards the door leading to the interviewer's office. A big, well groomed man was Mr. Swart heart. And he had on a nicely pressed white shirt and a diag onal striped tie. Frank Adams had on a worn, work shirt; the blue variety that could be bought at. Mack’s Gen eral Store in the village. His trou sers were a bit worn and his heavy work shoes looked even more clumsy on the finely textured rug in the reception room. He could see the receptionist, a young girl fresh from college, gazing at him with some contempt. When Frank had heard the news that GENERAL MACHINES, INCf, were to put up a plant near the village of Sandhill, he had been elated. “Just the chance we’ve been looking for, honey,” he had told his wife. As a garage mechanic, even owning his own shop, he felt he was in a blind alley. Not that he disliked, his work; he was an excellent mechanic, but he wanted to provide more for his family. , So today they were hiring men at GENERAL MACHINES, and Frank found he did not own a white shirt, “But honey,” said his wife. “You have never needed a white shirt ... up to now. Your work shirt is at least clean.” “Yeah,” said Frank. “I know.” But it hadn’t helped his morale. He felt low all the way to the plant, driving his small car with With Your Lunch The Light Refreshment ’A ' ’ 1 * -& t Franchised Bottler - PEPSI COLA BOTTLING COMPANY, INC. k Spruce Pine, N.

Approaching the plant he had felt a bit frightened. "What would they want with a plug like me,” he muttered. He had a notion to forget the whole thing. The plant was breathtaking ly big—-HUGE—with grounds that were tended like, a golf course. As Frank walked on stiff legs towards the administration build ing he was more than ever aware of his bld£ work : rirt and hated himself for even thinking of work ing for GENERAL MACHINES And . now, sitting in this elegant room, waiting for an interview among well dressed, casual men, Frank Adams felt a complete fool. “You’re next, sir,” said the girl. ~ - r~ The interviewer, a pleasant faced, big man-,- looked capable. “How soon could you go to work?”, the interviewer asked. .“Right now,” Frank snapped The man nodded. “The job is, yours, Mr. Adams." Frank looked at him blankly. “Among all the puppets I’ve interviewed this morning, Mr. Ad ams; the gob is yours for the sim ple reason you have the appear ance of being capable and have the obvious good sense to apply for a job in a suitable costume for our type of work,” the inter viewer said. “What type of a job . . . the salary . . . apd all the rest'. . . we can work out . . but you’re definately hired,” the man con , tinued. -- Frank nodded happily. “And Mr. Adams . * “Yes?” questioned Frank as he was leaving’. “We’re not fools here at GEN ERAL MACHINES . . . our type of work is accomplished by men in the plant,” he waved a big" hand. “NOT in the reception room.” He grinned at Frank in friendly fashion. “Yes sir,” answered Frank. CONSUMPTION OP- MILK IN SCHOOL LUNCH ROOMS INCREASING By mid-January, 42,000 schools were participating in the special school milk program provided by Congress in «4he Agricultural Act of 1954. The U. S. Department of Agri culture, general administrator of the school milk program, reports that 10,000 more schools joined the program -between the end of November and mid-January. About one-fourth of eligible to join—all non-profit schools of high school grade or under—are now participating. Milk consumption in partici pating schools increased during November to more than 90 mill ion half pints, which was 55 per cent over their normal consump-' tion of 58 million half pints. The Department of Agricul ture estimates thaLover 3 billion pounds of milk would -be needed in a year to supply every Ameri lcan child with a half pint of milk at school eagh day. Less than half of this amount is now consumed in school, and it is being consumed by far less than half of the school children. At present, out of 34 million child ren enrolled in school, it is esti mated that about 11 or 12 million drink some milk at school; The Special School Milk Pro gram operates through state and local <schoo] officials., Participat ing .schools 'purchase the ’ milk locally and serve it at 1 any time they consider best for encourag ing extra consumption. Schools are reimbursed for a portion of the cost of all milk over and •above the amount served in the same school the previous year. that have not previously served milk are reimbursed for part of the cost of the milk sold. The law provides that up to $50,000,000 annually of Commo dity Credit Corporation funds can be used for this purpose. St. Augustine, Florida, will cali brate its 400th birthday in the yeas 1965. * SUBSCRIBE TO THE RECORD ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE NORTH CAROLINA YANCEY COUNTY Having qualified as Adminis trator of the Estate of J.
