Drivers naturally
courteous

It is no effort for YELLOW CAB drivers
to be courteous. This answers the question why
our men are universally 50 polite and considerate.
Men reflect the character Of the organization
they work for This business is founded on the
basis Of sincerity and consideration for those we
serve.
Courtesy in the YELLOW CAB family is an
inbred instinct. We have carefully and delber-
ately chosen courteous employees. Rules demand
ing courtesy are invoked but rarely, for YELLOW
CAB men prefer the happier mode of business
intercourse.
Our men are cheerful and contented, for
they make substantial livelihood. Contcntment
smooths the path Of courtesy and stimulates
willing, efficient service.
But occasionally we are compelled to deal
with the exceptional case. Rudeness and incivili-
ty on the part of one man hurts the entire or
ganzation-his fellows more than anyone else.
We sincerely believe that such a man does
not now survive on roster Of drivers. If
are mistaken you will confer a favor on that
group Of conscientious workers who serve YOU
unfailingly day by day, by writing us a letter.

where they are scheduled to play
against the strong ST. David quintet

season against the San Pedro valley

between these schools is played at

Thc MentaI Side

1t is Hagen's theory that more
soIfers spoil their games cn the
green than in any other phase Of
rIay.
1t is not failure alone to sink a
seemingly easy putt that throws
them off their stride, but rather
the worry that is Incidental to it,
? "The mental side of golf will beat
the physical every time if the
player insists on worrying about
his mistakes says Hagen.
'rhis is partiGularly true wher
the player lets the failure to sink
a short putt cause him to lose his
roise and confidence.
Losing a shot on the green is
no more costly than letting one slip
away while in the rough, on the
rairway or in a bunker.
"The proper mental attitude is
more necessary in golf than any
other game. AS for example, long
puts are ofte'l sunk, because the
player when making the shot feels
he has no chance and therefore
doesn't tighten UP but plays the
shot naturally. In playing short
lutt his feelings are just the OPP

This morning, Ruth, as he went
out on the road for an hour walk

that another seven pounds off that
