at would not be true to nj that
we do not give a boot, (luce we

(but we do not give enough at a
ihoot to gult speaking our piece,
however poorly. A newspaper that
never spoke its own mind would
not be, to our notion, much satis
faction to publish or read.
From The Herington Advertiser
Times, Hertnurton, Kansas: A
trade bulletin recently editori
alized on the shopping situation in
ilarge trade centers. It observed
merchants have kept abreast with
the public demand, with better
stores, improved and expanded
llines of merchandise, and increased
.parking facilities. However, the
'Bulletin said, “Competition is
terrific.” - '
The same is true, in varying de
gree, in thousands and thousands
of American communities. And
.this is the reason why retailing^
in America, has reached a peak
, of efficiency add service unknown
store of today becomes the great
store ol tomorrow. And today**
great store. If it tells to meet the
competition, swiftly goes down
bill The prizes go to those who
honestly earn them.
From the Alms Record, f Alms,
"Michigan: a wholly changed atti
tude toward the dollar Is held by
the Elsenhower administration
compared with the attitude toward
It since 1833. Now the .dollar is be
ginning to assume some importance
in its own right,' instead of merely
serving as a tool to accomplish
some purpose oi the government.
From the Greenvffiti Advocate,
Greenville, Alabama: tt the ladles
get the “privilege" of Jury service
in Alabama, there will be a lot ot
remodeling and renovating in the
court houses throughout the state.
The jury rooms in the average
court house are unattractive, un
comfortable. and without powder
rooms. It will cost a lot ot money
to allow the ladies to sit on juries.
. AUTHOR OF “HOW TO STOP WORRYING AND START LIVING” ^
TIT HEN A1 Knowles. Middleburg, Virginia, was fired—sacked, - as
he says—and told to hand in his resignation, be didn’t just wor
ry; fie virtually became temporarily insane. His pulse jumped to well
over a hundred beats a minute; bis heart was pumping like the great
pumping system that sends oil from Texas to the Hast. His head felt
three times its normal 'size, his temples bulged, and his tnfnd was
filled with distorted and confused ideas.
Sleep was out ot the question, his eyes burned
and the skin on his tsce felt as if a thousand pound
weight was stretching it longer and longer.
Then he said to himself,. “surely there is some
solution to this soul wrecking problem." He picked
up a book and began to read, when suddenly a
rule, "How to Analyze and Solve yrorry Problems,”
came into his line oi vision. This rule seemed to fit
his situation. Grasping and clinging to each word
as u it were a me ran and ne was lost at sea. he CARNEGIE
read and reread a wonderful chapter.
The clouds started to clear from his mind, and picking up pencil
and paper, he began to write. This is what he wrote at the top of the
page:
Cause: A small and trite misunderstanding between the foreman
and himself.
Next: Did he want to . leave that )ob? No. <
1 Then he listed the advantages and the disadvantages. For every
fault be wrote a good point.
Finally he wrote. "Could I get this Job,back?”
The decision was made and now the outcome was up to him.
1 He went to the foreman, made himself humble, made the foreman
know how much he appreciated the opportunities offered by that Job.
Besult? He was reinstated and the matter dosed.
He says there 'isn’t any worry- in the world worth the price you
must pay for it And he believes your problem is, on the way to being
solved if you put it <Jown in black and white.
