Ed Cunard Wins First
Prize Among Walkers

The New York branch of the A. w. A.
has closed it's sixth season of successful
walking, and in spite of war conditions
the record for attendance on the hikes
was very good, considering that the
branch has twenty men in service.
The half-yearly mileage contest was
won by Ed Cunard, who walked 422
miles: L. lrolla was second with 3S5
and W. Strand third, with 3s2.
These men have been battling for
the lead for the last month. They were
compelled to be out every Sunday, and
they weathered one of the severest
winters the peds have gone through in

Why People Stand Still
BY Sophie Irene Loeb.

cut-and dried piece OF work which
they have agreed to do, and there their
| responsibility ends.
These are the people who. when
asked to do something a little different
from their accustomed routine will an
swer Il wasn't hired to do that: I'm not
supposed to do that kind of work; let
Jim do it." And therefore they are
allowed to do just the kind of work
for which they are hired.
Then they wonder why they have not
progressed and they call themselves
"unlucky" and just stand STILL They
have no initiative to look about them
or study the work Of the man ahead
SO that some day they may get into his
shoes when he goes out.
They do not take any interest in the
actual output of the work at hand, but
In their pay envelope. Many of these
people are honest and think they have
done their duty when they have per-
formed the immediate task before
them. Perhaps they have done the.r
duty to the employer aSd earned their
full wages, but they have not done their
duty to themselves.
This duty lies in the direction of
looking ahead-beins willing to assume
responsibility. Those who are filling
the high places and receiving the high
est salaries are those who have become
reliable on account Of this willingness
to assume responsibility.
Big enterprises today are managed by
men who know how to pick men--men
who can take charge. and in the ver-
nacular. deliver the goods" That is
the spirit OF the twentie th century.
The man or woman who stands still
has usually been unwilling to make any
self sacrifice. They only work for the
money Of the moment ard do not look
to the years ahead, nor the position
ahead They do not see further than
their immediate work i'm hand. They
think they are overloaded ana cannot
take on any more. They have failed to
see with Stevenson that Responsible
ity srasitates to him who can shoulder
it"
