Advice to Students on Hew to Go About Looking for Summertime Jobs Now that-school is almost over, ' many Ugh school boys and girls ' will be looking for summer jobs in an office, a camp, a depart ment store, a restaurant, or oth er places. How that boy or girl looks during the interview — his per sonal appearance — will influ ence the prospective employer, reminds Mrs. Ruby Miller, exten sion clothing specialist, North Carolina State University. If two applicants for a job had equal abilities and compar able training and experience, an employer would certainly choose the more attractive, better groomed person, she adds. Good grooming includes the selection of becoming, appropri ate clothing and accessories, good taste in the selection and use of cosmetics, as well as clean hands, manicured nails, shining hair and clean teeth; “Not only does being well groomed help to a create a favor able impression on others”, Mis. Miller says, “but it contributes to the feeling of poise and self assurance on the part of the per son applying for the job.” Whether the job interview takes place on the school cam pus, in a local business office, or out of town, every effort should be made to put the best foot for ward. - v Appropriate clothing should be an important consideration. The garment worn for the job interview should be relatively ample in style and design, but> attractive and becoming to the wearer, the specialist believes. It is by no mfeans necessary to buy a complete new outfit for the occasion, Mrs. Miller stress es. To do so may result in air un wise expenditure of money,if time is limited and the purchase is not carefully considered in re lation to the present wardrobe.

Garrett, Ph.D. Professor Emeritus, Psychology, Columbia University Past President, American Psychological Association Q: Dr. Garrett, what ic meant by "the sour-grapea response"? A: One who disparages what he can’t have or can’t get is said to be exhibiting the “the sour grapes response”. The phrase, of course, comes from the fable of the fox who, finding that he couldn’t reach the grapes decide ed they were sour, anyway. Children who criticize other children or their possessions are often defending themselves by the ‘sour-grapes response”. What they are saying is: “If I can’t have it, it isn’t any good”. Employee Honored For Long Service Carolina Telephone this month will honor Mrs. Peggy T. Nance of Kinston for having complet ed 10 years of telephone service. She will receive a miniature gold emblem award signifying the number of years of service attained. Mrs. Nance is employed by the company as an operator in the I Traffic Department here. THANKS . . . But Just Remember In this week's voting my name won't be on the ballot because I was lucky enough to wind up without Democratic opposi tion, but in November I do have Republi can opposition, and from a mighty fine young man, who like myself is a native of Lenoir County. I am firmly convinced that no matter how badly the national party may have strayed from our party's bedrock prin ciples that North Carolina has been served well by Democratic Party offi cials. This is my first effort in formal politics. I have enjoyed meeting a great many people in Greene, Jones and Lenoir counties in the weeks since I announced my candidacy. I hope to see all of you and many others before voting time rolls around in November. Meanwhile, keep my candidacy in mind, and remember that I will surely and sincerely appreciate your vote and support in November. Charles Larkins Jr., Democratic candidate for the North Carolina State Senate from the Fifth Senatorial District, which includes Jones, Greene and Lenoir counties. Charles Larkins *
