LARGE CLASS

ST. CLEMENTS
Bishop Officiates Here al
Wednesday Services.

A class of SO was confirmed at St.
Clements church Wednesday. OF
this large class there there were 80
boys, 40 girls, four men and five

ing for the large number.
The occasion was a gala one for

their fine buildings and made special
mention of the parochial school, its
purpose and mission.
Addressing the men, he invited
them to join the Holy Name society,
to make them better Catholics and
have them be clean Of speech. The
bishop eloquently delivered a sermon

Thrift and Industry Make
n Substantial Community.

An exchange raises an interesting
point when it calls attention to local
man who spent his spare time work
ing for various community enterprises
when he might have piled up dollars.
1t wonders if the people really ap'
preciate all this man has done for
them.
To our view boosters are needed IN
"a community just as critics are need
ed. 1t would seem that happy med
ium of both is the desirable cOmblna-
ton. A man must not be to self
centred to boost where he feels q
boost is deserved, and not to coward
ly to criticise when he thinks things
are taking the wrong trend. Sense
less boosting of every fool thing that
comes along is just as harmful as
continually knocking every project
whether it is worthy or not.
But disregarding boosters and
knockers, the best element in any
community comprises the hard-work-
ing, thrifty people who have the
brains to acquire a competence and
the frugality to hang onto it. InvaT-
iably, when you see a community
made up Of such people you see good
community. Their aid when aid is
needed is worth something. And by
helping themselves to be strong and
substantial they invariably help
others.

Flashes
"Life is Short-Ten the Truth"
Courtesy Rules Business World;
There's No Place for the Crab.

There's No Place for the Crab.
1t is interesting to note the growth
OF courtesy in modern business and
the realization of the apparent need
of politeness and consideration in
greasing the wheels of everyday life.
Uniformly, the big firms are de-
manding courtesy from their en-
ployees towards customers. This
does not. mean obsequiousness. To be
courteous one does not have to crawl.
1t does mean the ready, CHEEKY answer
instead of a scowl and a grunt It
means polite information and willing
ness to help instead of grudging
recognition.
The crouch or crab was never
wanted anyhow and he is still less
popular today The man or woman
who fails to adjust himself or herself
to7this rule is having hard time of it.
They only hurt themselves and cour-
teOus people shun them.
Politeness, courtesy is easy when
one tries The rule is simple-just be
ready and friendly keep a smile on
your face and in your heart and think
of constructive helpful things in
stead of meanness and malice. After
while it gets to be q habit. Pretty
soon people will be talking about
what wonderful manners you have.
Courtesy rules the business world
as well as the social world. In the
paths of life there is no place for the
crab.

To our mind, the assumption OF

similar prerogatives. Revolutions, by
NO means peaceful, have taken place
in Italy and Germany. Both are des-
tructive to the democratic idea pain
