PUBLIC WARNED AGAINST

William c. Deming. newly installed
president Of the United State Civil
Service Commission, has issued an
emphatic warning against the activ-
fty OF certain individuals and schools
that claim to have ability to aid
candidates to secure government
positions. He points out that all
needed information concerning exam
nations for appointments to post
master positions, or any other posi-
tion in the civil service, may be Sc
cured from the Commission or its
authorized representatives without
cost
The examinations are open and
competitive and no amount of assis-
lance rendered by quack coach
will affect the order of rating and
certification of the candidates. This
is not meant to discourage necessary
training but those DESTROYS OF enter
ing Uncle Sans employ are warned
to beware Of fake concerns.

Crittenden always was the

way Of any flexible and gracious

How about TT" Crittenden had
repeated as though he'd never
heard OF 1t before.
"Why, you said you had to re-

five days"

She closed her eyes, even while
