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. --,Continued. from. page 4 Protect Your Income Your income is the one item that makes everything else possible.
