FRIENDLINESS THE KEY
TO MOST SUCCESS

IN the adjoining column is letter 10
the editor, dropped in a mail box at San
Diego this week The criticism it voices
of FL Centre and FL Centro business
methods may be bit overdone. but in it
there is a thought which might very well
lead to constructive action.
The most successful business in Ell
Centro - and elsewhere too. for that
matter-are the ones where smiles greet
customers, where service is prompt and
cheerful. The most successful person.
be he employer or employe, is the one who
sends his customer away with a friendly
feeling
El Centre one of these days will be the
capital of an area thrOnged each winter
by tourists from every part of the coun-
try. Every year there are increasing in
dications that some day soon this region
will be the winter home of many we'll
to-do people whose foremost thought is
pleasant living.
In preparation for that day it would
be we'll for us to train ourselves in
friendship.
There is more to it than just good busi-
ness, too. There is a personal Satisfac-
ton in being friendly that no other eXper-
ience can give.
friend or acquaintance. 1t makes us feel
good to bring a friendly smile to the
face of an absolute stranger.
And it doesn't make anybody feel good
to froWn Why do it?
The quickest way to work off crouch
is to be pleasant to somebody else. Try
it next time you feel like biting some
bodys head off You'll probably find
most of your troubles aren't nearly as
tough as you thought. And, even though
they still exist, you'll feel better about
them.
If you want to be selfish about it,
you'll find that friendliness pays real
dividends, because friendship creates
friendship, and friends bring business.
Only you're liable to find that after
you've practiced the doctrine of friend
ship for a while. you don't want to be
selfish any more. And the queer thing
is that dividends keep coming anyway.

NFRIENDLINESS DRAWS
VISITORS CRITICISM
Editor, Post Press,
DEAR SIR.

DEAR SIX:
SNAP OUT OF IT. Ell CENTRIC!
My wife and | have travelled extensive
ly over the western states and never, ON
all our travels, have we ever been in
city where there was such an air of un-
frlendllneSS and diScourteSy as in Ell
Centre.
1t was especially noticeable last Sat
urday as we entered our own state from
Arizona, after traversing New Mexico,
Oklahoma, Texas. Arkansas, etc, on
vacation iaunt. These states have an at
moSphere of friendlinesS for strangers,
something that was sadly lacking in your
fair city of FL Centro when we stayed
there.
For instance: We entered a restaurant.
The manager or Mattresses didn't even
notice anybody entered. Finally the girl
brought menu, without even a word
spoken. We gave our order and outside
of "Whatll yuh have?' the waitress said
nothing We paid our check without even
a Thank YOU" How different in SAN
DIEGO last night. On leaving cafe on
Ell Cajon ave, our waitress, who had
been very friendly and courteous, waved
goodbye FROM THE KITCHEN with
Good night, come again 1t was a first
class cafe, too. How different from Ell
Centre, (where my wife gave me the
dickens for leaving a 15c tip).
Again, in Ell Centre: | picked up a
POST-PRESS from the rack in front of
a store, entered and handed the girl
dime; held out my hand for the nickel
change and the girl dropped it on the
counter without even thank you"
And again. at hotel, the clerks, bell
boys, etc, all treated us like they were
all suffering from a severe case of in
grown egotism.
Actually, the only courteous person
we contacted in Ell Centre from 4 pm.
Saturday to am. Sunday was Califor
MIA Highway patrolman, who courteously
directed us to side street as parade
was forming. He has been trained in his
lob to be courteous and friendly.
Now don't think this letter is from
crank" We are normal and happy Cali
fornians and just like to see folks friend
ly with Out-of-tOWners.
Merry Xmas.
Sincerely,
VACATIONERS,

DON'T MAKE DEFENSE
A RELIEF PLAYTHING

There has been some indication among
a few public officials at Washington
that the nations national defense pro
gram, supported by majority of the
people, may become an excuse for new
demands on governmental relief agencies.
Those in charge of prosecuting the de-
fense program should see, we believe,
that relief and defense are not mixed
together in the economic and political
scheme of things.
1t is hard to imagine Works Progress
Administration leaf raker working, still
under relief conditions, at making sue
cess of a rearmament program. The
arms he made would be out Of date be-
fore he finished them.
This rearmament program should, 1t
is true, absorb lot Of laborers from re-
lief rolls, and to that extent replace
governmental relief But the laborers
should be given jobs under regular in
dustrial conditions, with OverSeers who
have something more to do than merely
to see that the weekly relief checks are
distributed.
The administration Of relief in this
country has laid itself open to political
suspicion so many times that 1t seems
for the best interest Of the national de-
Tense program not to mix relief and de-
fense.
Cut down the relief rolls, yes. But
do not turn the defense program over to
relief administrators. We might not have
a defense program if we did.

Bruce Cation Says
= European and American Dietators Different

One thing that has been bother
ing some Americans in connection
with this proposed New World CO.
operation in defense of democracy
is the perfectly obvious fact that
the democracy of SO many Latin
American nations is far from be-
ing pure and undefiled
The conference in Peru may be
productive Of great things. Yet
there is no use ignoring the fact
that of the nations there repre-
sented only a few can be classed
as genuine democracieS. as the
term is understood north of the
Rio Grande. If a united front
against the dictato,'s is formed,
there will be plenty of dictators in
it.
Yet there is no need for anyone
to be dismayed by this fact. For
if dictatorship in itself is an old
story in this hemisphere, the par
ticular kind of dictatorship now
looming large on the European hir-
lion is something new. A moments .
comparison will make the distinc-
ton clear.

GETTING WORK DONE
(Picher (Okla.) Tri-State Tribune)

(Picher (Okla.) Irl-State lrlDune)
1t is related OF Henry Ward Beecher,
the great Brooklyn preacher Of the last
century, that when a friend once asked
how he managed to get through so much
work in day, he replied:
by never doing anything twice. |
never anticipate my work and never
worry about it. When the time comes to
do a thing, l do it, and that's the end
of it"
The formula sounds simple enough,
but how many of Us can follow 1t! An
exchange contrasts the methods OF fuSsy
persons with the concentration and DIR
ectness of a Beecher, in this fashion.
"The fussy, hurried, worried man IS
the chap who tries to do everything at
once. He dabbles in this and dabbles IN
that-finishing nothing. He picks up a
letter to answer it and lays it down to
pick UP another letter and fuss with
that. He puts the hard work at the bot
tom of the pile. He leaves hard job
Oh his desk day after day until it abso-
lutelv has to be done and then he rushes
il out in such hurry that it seldom is
done right.

republic" dictatorship is a highly
individualized show. Only rarely
is it based on any ideology or
theory more elaborate than a simple
desire for power. 1t may be eX-
ceedingly repressiVe-some OF the
Latin dictators had nothing to
learn from the Nazis about the
technique of silencing dissidents-
but by its very nature it is ephem-
eral and it does not force the
ideals, the mental processes and
the intellectual outlook of its peo-
pie into a rigid mold. 1t is way
of government but not way of
life. II does not try TO remake
society according to a fixed pat
tern.
All of which is just the reverse
of the Europcan-model dictatorship
which is to be one of the big con-
Germs of the Lima conferees.
For the frightening thing about
such a thing as Nazism is that
while it vests all the power of gov
ernment in one man, ii goes far
beyond the old-time idea of simple
autocracy, and sets up an ideal to
which all men are forced to con-
form. 1t is not enough that the
citizen simply refrain from criticiz-
ing the dictator, he must think as
the dictator wants him to think
he is permitted to have only such
ideas as suit the dictator. the
smallest details of his private life
are regulated for him.
So that it is not merely political
freedom which dies under this
system. The fundamental right of
the the human being to think his
own thoughts and worship accord
ing to the dictates of his own con-
science. to pick his friends. to train
his children, and to keep himself
aware of what is going on in the
vorld-this broad right, which is
fundamental to anything that can
pass under the name of civiliza-
ton, ceases to exist
That is why there is nothing IN
the least out Of the way in spectacle

tators sitting down to discuss
ways of checking the spread of
European totalitarianism.
