the job training for the past six
adn a half weeks, working for Mrs.
Robert White out in South Salem,
I appreciated working for these
people. They didn’t want to le t me
come back to school. They also said
that they wished I could remain as
long as, I would like to work for
them.,
Betty Goodman is to start work

been working fo rf/J expect she’ll
be working for this lady for six

her how to do things. So we’ve
been doing everything last, Satur

noon was our day off,, so we went
to town for just a brief time. I
came back to Candalaria.

You can eat all the food on ydur
tray. Don’t take something you do
not want, or if you do not care for
a full serving, ask the girl who is
serving to just put a little on your
tray A

candy or drink pop at the store
before meals. They accept a full
tray at meals, and then, because
they aren’t hungry, they throw
away much of the food.

W asting Time
Wasting time may cause us to
lose- our job? By wasting time, 1
mean reading fuim|>f books and
m agazines/or listening to the ra
dio when we should be working,
Being to work late is wasting time.
When we are on the job we get
paid for our work. We should get
a lot of work done.
Hsing our time well in school
will help us to be on time? to the
job.
