Your
Work
by Ruth Taylor

How do you work? Do you
finish what you start to do? Dc
you have to do things over? Dc
you work because you have to
- or to fill up time?
1t was Carlyle who wrote
Genius is the infinite capacity
for taking pains" And it is
that ability, that willingness OF
spirit which is even more inn
portant than manual dexterity
or mental skills.
All work is as seeds sown; it
grows and spreads like the rip
pies from a stone thrown into
pool. We do not know against
what bank it may spend itself,
or whom and what it may af-
feet.
Slipshod work hurts first the
doer. First in having the redo =
for redoing work is staying in a
rut, is not progressing or learn
ing. Second, in the weakening of
ability to do a job right. Care
lessness is a habit-forming drug,
insidious in its sapping of
morale, but deadly in its eff
fects.
The work that each of us do,
the work that is before us, is
our job, to be done by us. We
must prove that we do 1t better
than anyone else.
SOCIALIZED EFFORT
But there is another thing to
be remembered. DR.. Stelzle
brought it out in an article once
years ago: "The days work
stands for a socialized effort,
which has become possible only
because others in the past have
contributed their share to our
effort. To these we owe Ia debt
of gratitude. There is only one
way in which we may pay this
debt we owe them - we have
the privilege of building upon
the foundation laid by our fore
fathers, so that other millions
may be blessed because of our
own labors.
"This may seem idealistic, but
the law of progress demands
this of us, unless we are content
to become parasites, living from
the labors of others. In sense,
every man is parasite, who is
willing to receive benefits
which have accrued as the result
of others labors, without con-
tributing his share to the COM
mon good"
This is as true today as it was
when it was written. The way
to get ahead - both materially
and spiritually - no m tt e r
what task confronts you, is to
do the days work as though it
were the only job in the world
- the only thing by which you
would be judged. with good
will doing service. as to the
Lord, and not unto men" so
wrote Paul.

The Red Cab Co., business institu-
ton, has history of more than As years
in Toledo, is applying to the City of Toledo
for additional taxicab licenses. This is in
response to the desires of the public and
to the growing business activity in post
war Toledo.
To most people this is good The
freeze new equipment went into eff
feet in 1941, and the Red Cab Co., during
the past four years able to replenish
it's fleet only in small degree.
During the years, inflicted also with
most difficult manpower problems, did
a most effective job of keeping up with
wartime demands. Public transportation
did not break down, and the Red Cab Co.
had lot to do with seeing that it held up.
We feel confident that the city of Toledo
will grant the required new licenses, for
no one knows the necessity of more cabs in
the hands of reputable company than do
the city officials.
The public should know that the city Off
cials and the police for the protection of
the PUBLIC have established by law a
number of standards which must be met.
must be reputable, experienced, and fnan-
cially responsible. Equally important is the
fact that drivers must be skilled, reliable,
trustworthy, and must know their city,
their machines, and human nature.
When people get into taxicabs, they have
a right to expect courtesy and service and
safety, and financially responsible owner
ship.
The Red Cab Co. feels that the city will
see that all of these requirements full.
filled before any license is granted to any.
The history of defunct cab operating com.
panies and individuals here in Toledo and
all over the United States is not a pleasant
for the citizen to read. All too often
it is a story of unpaid wages, unpaid debts,
and unpaid damages.
The management of the Red Cab Co. has
been accused of monopoly, and it is well
to remind the public that never at any time
has there been taxicab monopoly in To-
ledo. There has been leadership by the Red
Cab Co., but that condition is economic. 1t
is based the fact that the Red Cab Co.
gave service, that is provided financial re-
sponsibility and safety and courtesy and
skill.
Naturally, the Red Cab Co., which alone as
sumed the burden of providing taxcab
transportation when others quit the field
in 1939-the lean years, finds itself in
1946 the dependable transportation of
thousands.
Meanwhile, the Red Cab Co. thanks the
people of Toledo and the travelling public
for four years of patronage under dicour-
aging conditions. Folks rode in share-the-
ride fashion. We got them to their destina.
tons day or night and will continue
to do so.
