FROM THE

PRESIDENT'S

DESK ...

FELLOW EMPLOYEES:

WE can always look back over the last year and see many of the errors we have made. We can also visualize the judgment that we should

have used in most instances. Maybe a good way to start the New Year is to look at the major mis

takes in life and endeavor not to make them. Consider these fourteen errors:

1. To attempt to set up our own standard of right and wrong and expect everybody to conform to it.

2. To try to measure the enjoyment of others by our own. 3. To expect uniformity of opinion in this world. 4. To look for judgment and experience in youth. 5. To endeavor to mold all dispositions alike. 6. Not to yield to unimportant trifles. 7. To look for perfection in our own actions. 8. To worry ourselves and others about what cannot be remedied. 9. Not to alleviate if we can all that needs alleviation. 10. Not to make allowances for the weakness of others. 11. To consider anything impossible that we cannot ourselves perform. 12. To believe only what our finite minds can grasp. 13. To live as if the moment, the time, the day were so important that

it would live forever. 14. To estimate people by some outside quality, for it is that within

which makes the man. Therefore, to begin our year right we need to wipe our slate of all

prejudice or grudges, and start with a clean sweep. Learn to say thank you, and smile when you say it. Take a little more time to appreciate the good and the beautiful, and I guarantee you will feel better this year.

Best wishes for a Happy New Year.

R. L. POLAND

o telling how many people JERRY VANN, Machine Shop, first shift, pulled his snake joke on. R. C. ROBERTS, Yard Crew, first shift, who doesn't like snakes any better than the rest of us, was one of the victims.

If snakes are not your thing, make a wide circle around Jer ry, especially if he has a red cloth casually draped over his hand and an unusually angelic expression on his face. (On second thought, if the latter condition exists, clo th or no cloth, give Jerry wide berth anyway-he's up to something.)

Speaking of rubber snakes, our apologies go to L uc y RICHARDSO , who was inadvertantly named in the December issue as the victim of a similar snake joke at the Trailer P lant. The victim was J UDY ELDRIDGE.

The reason for the black "glob" in the center of this picture is that what was behind it was the Editor.
