Good Attitude Is
(con't. from page 1, col. 5)

grow shorter, that your occu-
pation will grow increasingly
more interesting, and that your
new mental outlook on life will
bring you much happiness both
at home and at work.

These years of high pressure
war production have made all
of us irritable and moody at
times. Long hours of overtime
and a lessening of our leisure
hours have made us susceptible
to periodic petty jealousies and
imaginings of wrongs inflicted
upon us. But there's a cure for
every ill, and the best thing to
do, if you're suffering from
jangled nerves, is to go about
your work with the idea of im-
proving its quality and with a
firm resolution to do the job to
the very best of your ability.

Probably the best possible
illustration of the correct men-
tal attitude a man should have
toward his job is embodied in
the following story: Three men
were toiling side by side, lay-
ing brick. A curious bystander
inquired as to what they were
doing. The first man replied,
"I am laying brick." The
second man answered, "I am
earning five dollars a day."
But the third man proudly ex-
claimed, "I am building a
cathedral."

So, whatever your occupa-
tion, take a deep personal in-
terest in it and do it well. Bear
in mind that you are not just
finishing a machine part, but
actually building a definite
product. No matter what your
work, it is creative and worthy
of your best efforts. Make your
motto" "Work to live" and not
"Live to work!"

Anyboday, providing he
knows how to be amusing, has
the right to talk about him-
self. - Baudelaire

Advice is seldom welcome;
and those who want it the most
always like it the least. - Ches-
terfield

A college education never
hurt anyone who was willing to
learn something afterwards.

Many Strange Epitaphs

Here lies the body of our Anna
Done to death by a banana.

But the skin of the thing that
made her go.

LINES FROM
THE LIBRARY

"Dreams, books, are eacha
world; and books, we know
Are a substantial world, both
pure and good.
Round these, with tendrils
strong as flesh and blood,
Our pastime and our happiness
will grow."
Ibid, Sonnet 3

"This Too Shall Pass" - The
very short article by this title
is written by Charles B. Roth,
and appears in your "Life"
magazine for August, 1945.
Those who are inclined to wor-
ry when misfortune, failure and
disappointment strike would do
well to read the encouraging
and comforting philosophy set
forth by Mr. Roth.

Tea, Made With Saccharin
- So many people are saying
that they do not care for tea
which has been sweetened with
saccharin. We agree that the
right proportions of each in-
gredient must be used if the
tea is to taste just right. For
good tea, try the following
recipe:
Brew hot tea, using 3 tea
bags (or 3 teasp. tea) to 1/2
gal. boiling water. Let stand
until as strong as desired; tea
must not be allowed to boil.
When the tea is of the proper
strength, remove tea bags, add-
ing 5 or 6 whole grain sac-
charin tablets. People who like
tea extra sweet will need 6
tablets, rather than 5. Add sac-
charin while tea is still hot so
that tablets will dissolve quick-
ly. If added after the tea has
cooled, dissolve saccharin in
hot water. To avoid the bitter
taste so often found in tea
sweetened with saccharin,
place tea in the refridgerator
and allow to stand uncovered
for several hours before using.

"A true friend is one who

[article continues in middle of column 5]

likes us in spite of our achieve-
ments." - Anon - "Woman's
Home Companion," August, 1945.

Have you thought much a-
bout the prefabricated houses
which can be purchased com=
[lete in package form and de-
livered to you by truck after
the war? It's an interesting
idea; read about such houses
in an article called "Your
Solar Home Is All Wrapped
Up," featured in "Popular Me-
chanics," August, 1945.

Et Cetera - "The dropping
of 'etc.' from the language
would necessitate a lot of think-
ing that is not being done at
present."
Wellman L. France,
"Saturday Evening Post,"
August 11, 1945.
