GEvERAL months ago, postal employee in

The carrier on the route hesitated even less.

of skeletons in the corridor. he went on his
way.
Despite the bizarre address, the letter was
mere routine for the tall, slightly graying
well-Toomed man behind the desk. The cor
respondent wanted ghost for his summer
cottage. He wanted it shipped COD. by
return mail. The letter had come to the right
place. Robert Nelson, an inventor, manu-
facturer and professional magician, is
probably the only man i'm the world who
makes a business of haunting houses.

crammed with ghosts of all shapes and sizes.

the opportunity to put it to use
one reason being that he lacks the
ability to get along with people.
Change Does the Trick
Inability to get along with
people is one of the most COM
mon troubles that our clients
have" DR.. Davis says. Most of
them have tried their hand in
private business. Perhaps they
couldn't get along with the boss or
lacked the patience to humor

Mr.. Scott confessed that when
he began he knew nothing about
mahogany, handicrafts or the
French language. He studied
business administration at the
University of Kansas and
majored in Spanish. And Haiti
is the only Latin American
country where French is the
native tongue.

observed.

able must follow such a strictly
impartial course that much OF
their advice is too generalized to
serve any useful purpose.
DR.. Davis has found that in
creased outside activity dissolves
many of the doubts and worries
which clients bring him. Once
they undertake to develop an avo-
cation, their perspective clears
and they see their position in a
new and sharper light.
There was the case of an econ
omist in the Agriculture Depart
ment whose modest. salary could
not pay for the house that his
wife wanted him to buy. So he
began to sell life insurance on
the side. and in four years was
making more money from his
sideline than from his pay check.
Even though he had Is years
piled up toward retirement, he
quit the Government and now
operates a successful agency busi-
ness. A State Department officer
found that his part-time teach
ing assignments provided the only
stimulation in an otherwise dull
routine Of work. He took a salary
cut in leaving the Government
to accept a full-time teaching Job
in a Midwestern college.
DR.. Davis points out that the
regular hours and long week ends
IN Government work are ideal for
developing avocations. He has
seen embarrassing, fruit-farm-
ing. weaving, photography, free
lance accounting and advertising,
and real estate developed into
full-time occupations.
In the lower levels of Govern
ment service, DR.. Davis has noted
a general interest in learning a
trade. For instance, a messenger
at the Interior Department is
learning the cobblers' trade. A
young typist at the Federal Sc
curity Agency enrolled in a cook
ing school.
Not all of these efforts to de-

basic floor prices for some farm
commodities. It will not embark
on an extensive public works pro.
gram unless things get a great
deal worse. 1t will certainly moi
follow the United States into any
attempt to maintain "parity
prices" though the farmers are
pressing for this.

S. The applicant returns for the
second interview with the coun-
selor who shows the client a sort

In the cases of persons confined
to one job for a long period, DR.
Davis may attempt to broaden the
horizon Of the applicants interest
With college students who have
only the vaguest idea of what
sort OF a career they wish to
pursue, it is often advisable to
channel the interests into a def
mite pattern. This interview
usually lasts about an hour.
Test Profile Is Result
s. Frequently the counselor
completes the second interview
without being sure whether the
course OF action suggested is the
proper one. He would know q
great deal more after the ap-
plicant had time to put the sug-
gestions into use. Therefore, in
many cases a third interview fol-
lows a few weeks later. When the
process is finally, completed, the
client receives a copy Of his "test
profile" or psychogragh which
summarizes the results of the test
IN convenient form. Frequently
these prove useful in finding a
new job or entering q desirable
school.
DR.. Davis believes much of the
feeling OF insecurity among Gov

lack of the equivalent of a strong

and present their grievances.
