 Once upon a time in middle-sized town there was a very ordinary young nan named Bill. He lived with his parents who were good people. They taught him all the things they. thought he should know to be- good nan.
 Bill learned as much watching his parents as he did listening to them. Because the family went to Church ev- cry Sunday, Bill came to realize that this was the best way to worship God. His father was always so courteous and thoughtful. to all women that Bill decided that it. was manly to respect every woman.

MORE COURTESY ASKED
The Civil Service Commission
has sent a letter to all of Its
employees asking them to be
more courteous and helpful ir
dealing with Government EN-.
ployeS and the public who seek
their help. 1t could we'll be
copied by other Government
departments and agencies.
There have been complaints
recently that some csc en-
ployes are downright rude in
dealing with people on the tele-
phone and when they come to
the CSC offices for advice and
job help. etc. Also there have
been complaints of "buck pass
ing" on the part Of csc EN-.
ployes, whereby the person
making a query is routed to q
dozen different csc employees
without getting the answer to
his question.
OF course, the majority Of
csc employees have always been
courteous and helpful. It's only
the relatively few who have
caused the trouble which the
csc intends to stop. The letter
to csc employees, signed by Ex-
ecutive Director Warren Irons
stresses "the Importance Of
prompt, proper, courteous ham
ding Of public contacts -
whether written. telephone OF
face-to-face." Mr.. Irons re.
minded csc employees that the
commission "is a public agency
conducting the public's busi-
ness: as employees Of the com.

servants"
