Twenty minutes after the fight

e OUR
"a TOWN
BUSINESS


Man name of William j.
Reilly has written many books
on many subjects but we like
a little something he wrote
which we give you herewith.
High school and college grads
please note:
Think positively about your
job. Expect to succeed at it
and you will. Do the best job
you know how to do, day
in and day out, and you'll find
1t pays off in the long run.
Don't make the mistake of
floating around from one job
to another and one company
to another-looking for the
end of the rainbow of oppor-
tunity. Take a good square
look at your present job and
your present ompany.
Chances are you'll find your
big opportunity was there all
the time.
Figure out better ways of
doing your job and pass your
suggestions along to the boss.
Don't be discouraged if your
first idea doesn't come off.
Keep sending them in. Sooner
or later you'll hit pay dirt.
Keep improving yourself,
your knowledge, and your
skills. Spend some of your
spare time studying and pre-
pairing yourself for the next
job ahead so you'll be all
ready when the break comes.
Look at things from the
boss's point of view. Try doing
things his way. Save him as
much time and effort as you
can. He'll soon begin to notice
your work. And the more
practice you get looking at
things from the boss's angle,
the sooner you'll be ready for
a supervisory or executive job
yourself.
Do these things and you'll
! do all right for yourself at the
office. For that's the kind of
person your mpany Is
hungry for. That's the kind of
person who lands the promo
ton when promotion time
comes around.
In certain South Ameri-
can countries marriage is a
problem just as it is here.
However the natives have de-
vised a means (more or less)
to determine whether or not q
couple are well suited. Prior
to marriage the relatives of
the prospective sew the pair
up In a hammock, together
with a couple of handfuls of
ants. If the couple is still
speaking at the end of twenty
four hours they are considered
we'll suited. Ring Dem Bells!

that an evening network news
telecast, fifteen minutes long.

per year costs $4,6O0,000! A
