As help at the hotel, Madams Voorhees,,
Ferree. Harris. Reeves, Miller. Jones
and Green make up the regular force.
Of course they have been able to trap
Comrade Yates at times and make him
help wash dishes, but that is in order
to give him exercise. Also Mrs. Hall
does, all she can to prepare vegetables
too. Well, Mother and her crew have
enough job SO | can't find a vacant
chair at their house yet. We sure need
our new hotel, but don't dare breathe
it, or the building crew will slaughter
me. To-day ! find part of the brick.

bake shop. where Joe and Bill have
more than they can do since Harry and
Walt have both taken to the bread
route. Joe Gaddis is now making the
peanut butter; Mrs. Gaddis, Dad Bell,
Mrs. Sanders, tend to the store; Nc
Donald and Louise Belohradsky do the
bookkeeping and Mildred Seelye, as

| went to the pool, had a good swim
and ate lunch with the kiddoos; after
about two hours rest, real show was
pulled off: Myrtle and her young as
sistants took the kindergarten children
on this days picnic and they were now
all dressed for water splash. Did
they have it say so. Did they en-
JOY it? Just ask them! The little peo-
pie both boys and girls went to the wa
ter just like little ducks. The greatest
show of the day Ito me) was the in
terest all of the larger boys and girls
demonstrated in taking care of and
the little tots. With three min
utes Of the first dip by the little folks
every larger boy and girl was at the
shallow end of the pool extending
helping hand as long as the kinderga1-
5eners were in the pool. Is it equal
ed anywhere else? | hardly think SO.
And | for one can see a development
in our school children that is not to be
found elsewhere. The dancing school
and dance closed my day of real pleas

must face the office force and full

Comrade Cuno? You know.
Sunday. Aug. E. = No, we don't
make business of working on Sum
days. And | don't know anyone who
deserves Sunday off more than these
folks down here who are putting in
their time and energy, working for
your cause. Yet we do very often

tools. But as a personal view we ne
yer let that interfere. If wish to work
| do, and | assure you do it because
| want to, not because ! have to. Any
person who is doing what he likes to
do is not working-he is enjoying him
self and if HIS pleasure happens to be
doing something that it to the better
ment Of his fellow humans, he is sure
to be that much happier because of
the service he renders. People who
think always of their own selves and
