I EVERYBODY'S BUINESS by In our daily lives all of us must mingle and perhaps work with people whom we do not like. And this presents a rrOblem which everyone should recognize and attempt to Scive. Obvious"), we cannot "hate these people off the earth". We must somehow adjust ourselves to associating with them. "It takes all kinds to make a world." And, after all, there are bound to be some people who do not like us. So we should try to develop a spirit of tolerance. More important, we should try to conceal our dislikes. For when we show our feel- ings, it merely makes matters worse. On the other hand, if you snake even a little effort to be friendly and courteous to- wards those who "rub you the wrong way", it will make your relationships with them more pleasant. And eventu- ally it may even lead to genu- ine friendships. For another aid to happier, more successful living, try to cultivate peace of mind in every possible way - espe- cially financially. Life insur- ance offers the most depend- able and effective way to achieve this for yourself and your family. 4£ HARLOCK Friday afternoon of last week, July 2nd, School Sections 11 and 7 held their picnic on No. 11. school grounds.
