Give Them A Job

AT the graduation exercises of
one of our High Schools recently.
the speaker praised the benefits
OF the education the graduates had
received-he reviewed their school
years he impressed the students
with the Importance of having a
diploma, and what it meant to be
part of that institution
He rehearsed the responsibility
resting on each of them, and urged
each to enter his chosen profession
with the knowledge that they were
FULLY prepared to meet opportunity.
AS / listened, was reminded Of
other ceremonies which had
witnessed-ceremOnies which were
deeply impressive spectacIes in

and Harmony with their fellow men

The presentation of high award

Chemistry however, does no more to,
make him a achemist, than the pre-
sentatiOn of pin to a man who has
taken our degrees makes an Odd
fellow. Both must find a Job! The
scholar to pratice chemistry. and
the Oddfellow to practice his fra
ternalism. The new graduate has
friends who will see that he has the
opportunity to practice his prof
ession, and to advance to a position
OF honor and responsibility.
How much more are we, who are
bound to our new members by the
most sacred ties, obligated to see
that they are given the avenue of
practicing the tenets and prin-
ciples of Oddfellowship. AS the
student is provided with employ
ment, so should our novitiates be
given work to do, so that they will
realize that being an Oddfellow is
not just wearing a pin, but that it
provides the opportunity of col
lectively performing the duties
enjOined by our laws.
Should the graduate fail to prac-
tice his chemistry, his knowledge
and incentive will be lost and for
gotten if our new members. and
our old ones too, are not given the
occasion to practice Oddfellowship.
they too, will forget their frater-
nalism.

be the result of Independence Day

In addition, several hundred Am

All this because of accidents that
need not happen. .. .... ~.
Holidays have become horror
days in the United States. In recent
years many holidays have brought
such high accident toll that thew

not acts of God. They are acts of
humans who fOolishly bet their
lives for dubious rewards.
The driver who speeds to get to
his destination what difference
does it make whether he arrives 10
or 20 minutes later?
