j. It has come to the attention of the
ipersonnel concerned with the deliveries

After investigation into the -matter
jit has. been determined that the cause is
! improper places in which to put the

We would like any suggestions that
Imight be of help short of the beys rap
jping on doors. This would of course take
jat least several hours and ’ due to the
I time of delivery it would run into the
jnight. , Now short of any suggestions at"
jthd time, we suggest that people who are
jat home around the time of delivery if
!they would watch for the boys or devise
isome type of holder to keep the paper
jfrom being blown away then we are sure
jthat all will receive their paper faith

ARE YOU AFRAID
Are you afraid of becoming known as
an intellectual, a bookworm, or an egg
head? If so, itfs misplaced concern,
for never has knowledge and skill been
so well regared as they are in this ■ age
Of technology.
When Fulton first launched his steam
boat, a good sized crowd grathered ‘round
; to see what would happen. As usual,
; there were plenty of skeptics present.
| They kept yelling: "She‘11 never start,
i she*11 never start." Finally, the big
| moment came, steam was up, and off she
sailed. The skeptics weren‘t the least
dismayed* Immediately they began to
i shout: "She‘11 never stop, she*11 never
stop."
If we let narrow opinion, or the rid
icule of a few skeptics or cynics keep
us from doing- our work honestly and con
scientiously, we*re pretty weak-kneed
men.
