Frequently, young people '
fields have the idea that the job
Of sitting at a desk or behind q
typewriter is an easy one.> But
when they go TO apply for a job
they win find that the opposite
is true. Not only is good training
required but they must have a high
degree of accuracy and be willing
to assume responsibilities, and
have a good record of attendance
When employers interview cler-
ical job seekers, they have several
questions in mind. VIII this per-
son be an asset to my business in
the matter Of production and in
public relations? How win they
get along with other employees? ?
What about getting to work on
time? Why did they leave their
last job? Sometimes an employer
is under pressure for help and win
take on a person who does not
rate very highly in his opinion but
this is a rare instance.
A case in point is that of an at
tractive young colored lady, skilled
in the operation of office mechan-
ical devices, who applied for a posi-
ton in the office Of a large Chi
cago industrial plant.
After answering routine ques-
tons the personnel director asked
the young applicant If she had spec
ial training in mechanical card
filing. She replied that she could
operate the new Kard-Veyer, which
is a mechaniZed device for auto
matte card filing. Given a test, she
was so proficient she was hired
Immediately, and has since become
a valued member Of the big office
force.
Mary Brown, a high school grad
uate, was seeking an office job
and went to a prospective en-
ployer for an interview. She was
chewing gum and she wore no
stockings and her bare toes were
exposed. AS she walked up to the
interviewer's desk, she dragged
her feet.
When the employer asked her
about her slCiIls, she said, Il have
did some typin' and some film
but I didn't do no shorthand" !"
Naturally she did not get the job
because there were three strikes
against her-chewing gum, inap-
propriate dress and poor grammar.
These are important factors in get
ting office work.
Some young people have been
hired for office work because their
slIiIls were adequate but were
discharged because Of a poor at
tendance record or work perform
ance. Job seekers should be an
xious to succeed and apply the
disciplines of their training as well
as the regulations Of the particular
employer.
1t win be difficult to be hired
as a typist without a speed of so
words per minute. A good stenog-
rapher should be able to take 100
words per minute in shorthand or
speed writing. All good office
workers keep a dictionary handy
and Use it when in doubt about
spelling words. This is very I'M
portant.
There are many opportunities
today for qualified clerical work
ers. According to the Insurance
Secretaries Association, a secre-
tary must think like a man, work
like a horse and act like a lady.

ARE YOU TRULY THANKFUL.

ARE YOU TRULY THANKFUL? 4?
For all Of the blessings you have
enjoyed this past year? Then try
to list them in your mind and you
win be surprised how many bless
ings you took for granted.
You are enjoying good health,
you can see, you can taste, you
can walk and oh so many things
you enjoy that are taken for grant
ed. Yet If you have one bit Of
trouble or worry you think you
have a hard lot in life.
If you would make a list Of
your blessings and another list Of
all the troubles you think you
have you win find, nine times out
of ten, the longest list win be the
one full of the blessings you have
not appreciated but have taken
for granted.
You have to appreciate all of
your blessings but some do not
until they are deprived of them,
lost their sight temporarily and
but that is life. Who really ap-
preciates seeing; Those who have
regained it again. You cannot really
know what a blessing the five
senses are until you lose the use
of one of them. There are some
people who really have learned to
appreciate the blessings they are
enjoying, but they are far and few
between.
During this Thanksgiving season
many families travelled miles
to be together again and how they
enjoyed living over their young
er years together. At the time
when they were young and to-
gether they took each other for
granted. Now, years later, they
realize those were 'the good old
days.

Hazards in Cultivoting
A Family OF Flowers
By MARJORIE HOLMES

Most people are able to cultivate permanent family
Of flowers.
Flocks Of perennias that multiply like relatives and
like relatives attend all the reunions year after year.
ANIMALS they count to up in the spot where
they planted and flourish Bulbs that you put in
the ground and they grow.
Flowers and have no such secure arrangement
Maybe I'm too eager hostess too anxious for them
to enjoy their stay and settle down.
Whatever may be the matter flowers and carry on
cratic now-you-see-me now-you-dont affair.
Petunias planted in border pop up besides the steps
instead.
Marigods go wandering like Grant children Haunting
their gay golden heads.

ing up the lattice meant for a rose.
While those slips and cuttings neghbors forever
bestowng plus those boxes and baskets of civilized plant

I welcome them with gusto, regardless. well. where
did YOU come FROM" And, perhaps too zeaousy, Make
yourself at homer But however ply them with food and

My flowers are like unfaithful lovers They traffic in

and color the summer days.
Riddle in Rhythm :.
Virginia reader asks, Does anyone know the true
source of the song that goes The Campbes are coming
tra-a tra-la? Is it perhaps the rayng song OF some
Scotch clan? Maybe someone OF that family name can
