 Funeral Tomorrow
 The sudden death of John Burger Sunday night at his home 19 Sprague street came as a great shock to his many friends. MT. Burger had long been a resident of Waterville, having been in charge of the Pin Shop lunch room, and later operating a restaurant for himself on Thomaston avenue. He was apparently in good health, until he suffered a heart attack Sunday night, and failed to respond.
 MT. Burger was born in Germany, the son of the late Vincent and Severina (StolD Burger. He was a member of the First Lutheran Church and the Sons of Hermann.
 Survivors include his wife, Mrs Emelie (Fruhstuck) Burger; a son John Edward Burger of Waterville; two daughters, Frieda Emma Bur. ger of New York City and Elizabeth Emelie Burger of Rockville; and a sister in Switzerland.
 The funeral will be held tomor- row afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Alderson Funeral Home, 70 Central avenue. Burial will be in New Pine Grove cemetery. Friends may call at the funeral home this evening from 8 to g o'clock.

50 Supervisors To Be Appointed d Next Week By Park Department
No CurtaiIment of Supervisors or Fairgrounds Ex- pected to Be Necessary During Coming Season
 Superintendent Curtin Announces

The city's public playgrounds will open for the l040 summer season on Monday, June 24, Superintendent of Parks James J. Curtin said today. Approximately 50 supervisors for the play centers will be appointed some time within the next week.
 Though a curtailment of the ap- propriation for the salaries of su- pervisors in this years budget made 1t appear that it would be neces- sary to close one or more of the playgrounds this year, Superintend- ent Curtin said today he believed that the funds can be managed so that all the playgrounds open in former years wil lbe available to children aga,n this summer.
 Another fear was that the staff of supervisors might have to be cut down. This vii lnot be necessary either, MT. Curtin believes, though some of the special classes held in

 If you want . job, chuck the "what, -the-use" and "here-I-am" slogans, and settle down to chart- ing a course of action. Look your self over both inside and out. Realize that 1e Sn't enough just to offer your services in the nar- ket place. You've got to put on a sales campaign.
 Make some notes on how you have spent your time, what you've got to show for 1t, and what you think you can do. If you did not find out in school, start now to get some ideas about the major functions of business organization. Management publications, business journals and trade associations are good sources.
 If in no other way, determine, at least by the process of elimination. the function of organization in which you are most likely to be in- terested. Perhaps some friend in personnel administration or your school employment service could could give you a vocational interest test.

If you have worked during summer vacations and used your leisure time constructively, be sure to add those to your selling points.

 Have a plan. Take the lead in the interview. Avoid throwing your self upon the mercy or sympathy of your prospective employer.
 of the many applicants for posi- tions there are always some who click. There is never any one thing that rings the bell.
