Greetings From

We join the great White Ribbon
Army in an expression of thanks
giving for the step taken AT the
Methodist Conference regarding
the liquor traffic.
We well know "The Liquor Traf-
tic would destroy the Church if il
could; the Church could DESTROY
the Liquor Traffic if it would" All
friends of Prohibition have been
very anxious these days for "The
Bryson Bill Debate" in lis four
days duration in Congress.
This bill prohibiting federal in
terstate commerce in LIQUOR adver-
tising engaged the attention and
orat0ry Of twenty dry and ten wet
organizations.
Especially was the w. c. T. u.
happy when "the Voice Of Temper-
ance" presented Sam Morris for
the men and Mrs. d. Leigh COlvin
for the woman.

news, for recreation, for the time
Of day, and for hearing and seeing
OF great events in today's drama
as our national and world history

Turn it OFF," That might be most
inconvenient; il should be turned
on at the source. recognizing that
only that invited can lawfully en-
ter a home.
The Bryson Bill to stop liquor
broadcasting has been pending in
Congress for many months. Con-
gressman Joe Bryson, dry leader
Of the House, introduced that hin

SUCCESS RULES FOR
WOMEN FoREMEN
AP Newsfeulures


SAN GABRIEL, Calf. - Any
woman who has ambitions to be-
come a factory foreman must learn
to control her emotions, says Mar
tha Richter, only woman foreman
in big business machine and am
munitions factory here.
A former school teacher who
has made good in the tough COM
petition of machine shops, Mrs.
Richter has worked out six rules
for fellow females to follow if they
want advancement. She says:
"Three of these rules / call my
ground rules because they apply
specifically to women in factory
jobs and are rarely found in text
books. The remaining rules are
likewise applicable to men looking
for job boost"
Here are her rules for success
on the assembly line:
l. Learn to control your emo
tions, so you can always conceal
1rritatiOns and annoyances.
W ~~-A WHICH . NAOLMCSs OldEhS
are out for a future foreman.
3. Never reveal condolences.
Gossip doesn't become an execu-
tive.
4. Know your job, both the pres
ent and hoped-fOr-One.
3. Study teaching principles. A
supervisor is more instructor than
boss.
6. Exert extra effort. Attend
lectures. read books and trade pub
lications for information about
your company.
Pretty, dark-haired Mrs. Richter
taught second grade in the schools
of Speedway. Ind, for 16 years
before turning to manufacturing
as a career. Says she:
Those years of teaching were
the best possible preparation for
my present work"
