WheneYer Something is left out

easy it would be to lose something
on it.
People who keep their desks
neat and tidy can't avail them-
selves of that ready excuse and
in this we sympathize with them.
Not only that, but a messy
desk suggests a person is ex-
tremely busy and we often do
question how much work is done
by those persons who don't have
a thing piled up around them.
While we admit to having the
Worst clutter in Exeter, we do
find some that rate a close sec-
ond and in all cases we find
they belong to people who are
extremely busy and work hard.
The two just go hand in hand
and there's no other reason . .
in our opinion anyway.

Readers will be glad to know
that even the postal employees
suffer some inconvenience from
the strike. They had no way of
getting out information to the
newspapers outlining their stand.
One such piece of information
was delivered to the office some-
time over the weekend, and rather
than just dropping it in the mail,
the postal workers apparently had
to deliver it around to each news-
paper.
