Don't Be Too Sure

I didn't know him, never saw him before, he hung on a strap in a streetcar and swayed and bumped, and underneath my breath I called him a "louse."

A truck careened around a corner, almost handed me a ticket for "over there," straightened out prec4riously and rumbled on down the street, and I called him a "so and so."

A waitress took an order, scarcely heard a word said to her, and brought back a conglomeration of items unordered, and was repofted at the desk.

Lissen . . the guy swaying on the strap had just heard that his wife had cancer; the truckdriver was running from the news that his only son had died; the waitress, with a wide-eyed, growing, wanting daqghter, resented life and the pittances in tips.

Don't be too sure ! Look deep into their eyes before you label them.-Call Workman.

Too Technic<rl

John Doe, traveling salesman, was reading a letter from his wife.

"This is what I get for marrying a school teacher," he told his friend. "Listen to this: 'Dear John: I potice that you have addressed me as 'dearest Lucy.' Now, either your grammar is bad, or else you are not a good husband. If I am the only Lucy you have, the 'Dearest' is not correct. And if you have more than one Lucy, you've got something to explain when you get home'."

She Wcrnted To Know

It was a pretty shoddy-looking shirt, but it was the best he could find at the time, so Jones bought it. Inside the garment he found a slip of paper on which was written a girl's name and address and the message: "please write and send me your photo."

He did, and got the following note from the girl: "Thanks for the photo. I have been making these crummy-looking shirts for a long time, and I just had to see what kind of looking guy would wear one of them."

Secrweed

Quote was first mate on a boat. Which carried a beauty of note. It was love at first sight, Then they quarreled-her right Clipped his chin: he fell over: end Quote.

Insurance?

A dear old grandmother always seemed to bow slightly in church when the name of Satan was mentioned. Asked why, she explained: "Well, politeness costs nothing-and you never know, do You?"

His Trouble

The boy stood on the burning dedk, Whence all but him had fled, He looked around, said "What the heck The whole crew must be dead." But modern magazines now give The ad man's diagnosis, The crew just couldn't stand the boyThe kid had halitosis.

Is *13" Unlucky?

FIow can we account foi the absurd superstition that "13" is an unlucky number? We do not know who is responsible for this belief, yet most hotels omit 13 in the numbering of their rooms and floors. No. 13 is generally hard to sell to anyone, in any thing. Who among us does not know people who will not sit at a table or in a crowd that numbers 13?

Yet, consider these reasons why every American should believe 13 to be a lucky, rather than an unlucky number: 13 is written all over our country. First, there were 13 colonies; the first flag had 13 stars and stripes; revolutionary, which describes our war for freedom, has 13 letters; so has E Pluribus lJnum, and American Eagle, our motto and our emblem. Now take the quarter of a dollar. There are 13 stars over the head of liberty, 13 leaves in the olive branch held by the Eagle, and 13 letters spell quarterdollar. Commodore Perry's great naval victory was won on September l3th; John Paul Jones has 13 letters in his name; he was 13 years old when he came to America, and he carried the flag with 13 stars to victory. The first feet of the American government consisted of 13 vessels.

His Complcint

A drunk staggered out of a bar onto the sidewalk, just in time to see a dainty, aloof, lovely-looking woman sweep proudly by, her head erect, her eyes forward. Not even a glance in his direction. He watched her go, then staggered back to the bar and ordered another drink. "That's what makes a drunkard of me," he mumbled to the bartender. "Women won't let me alone."

Formica Co. Will Protect Its Valuable Trade Mark

"A valuable name is worth protecting," says The Formica Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio, in a booklet recently issued' "We are paying the penalty of leadership in the laminated plastic industry. Because our name is so well known it is in danger of becoming generic. Many people refer to any laminated plastic as 'Formica.' In some cases sales people have deliberately misrepresented an inferior product as Formica. Usually a statement from our company concerning the proper use of our trade marks is enough to secure cooperation from anyone referring to our products. However, if anyone persists in misrepresenting our property we can resort to legal action."

Formica is sold wholesale in Northern California by Harbor Plywood Corporation of Northern California, 540 10th Street. San Francisco 3, and in Southern California by California Panel & Veneer Co., 955 South Alameda Street, Los Angeles 54.

Payment of overtime for fractional parts of an hour worked by an employee, is required under a recent WageHour Division ruling. Formerly the Division, for enforcement purposes, let overtime pay be computed to the nearest quarter of an hour if (1) it was administratively convenient and (2) did not result in financial loss or inecluity to the employee. Norv, however, in effect an employer must record and pay overtime for even a few minutes over an even hour of overtime. However, employees who punch in early and punch out a few minutes late, for their o'lvn convenience and without engaging in work during those periods, are not entitled to overtime pay for these periods. Many employers permit employees to puncl-r in a few minutes before shift time and to punch out a few minutes after shift time. In such case, the employer can disregard the extra time shown on employees' time cards and only pay employees for work done during the actual shift.
