Golden Rule for Business. Personal Conduct Urged By V. J. Micelli in Rotary Talk More direct and honest human relations with others Is the con cept on whcih the Rotary Club has based its vocational service pro gram, Victor J. Micelli told Rotarians in an inspiring address at the club's Thursday luncheon at the Umpqua Hotel. "It is our obligation," he said, "to give the open hand of friend ship and brotherly love and not to forget the Golden Rule one second." He said that the program of vo- cational service Includes an indi vidual's obligations to himself, to his employes, from his employes to him, and to the community. The first obligation of vocation al service "sounds selfish but it's not selfish, he pointed out. "Each of us has a distinct obliga tion to maintain our families from want and not be an obliga tion to others." Mlscelll said each person Is en titled "to an honest return on capital investments, and when I say honest, I mean just that." He cautioned against cases where "the almighty dollar has been God" and profits have been charg ed against those least able to af- ioro tnem. The Golden Rule should be practiced with employes, he said. I should make a real friend of those working for me, make it possible for them to study their lot iobs in relation to the whole op eration and to give chances for advancement to higiipr positions." He advised that "Praise, when honest and sincere, warms the heart of any man. Micelli pointed out that when employes are paia a lair honest wage," they will produce more and be loyal and devoted to their employers. If they are not producing, an effort should be made to place them where they will be happier before they are fired. "Business can be so cold blooded, .he said. Businessmen should cooperate with their competitors and should not overlook service to their cus. tomers, he said. Mlscelll would amend the old saying, "The custo mer is always right," to "Most cusotmers are right. Not all cus tomers are always right." "We should give freely of our spare time to civic problems and to the community, but we should not deprive customers of the ser vices they are entitled to," he cautioned. Vocational service should be judged by these standards, he con cluded: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will It build good will? Is it beneficial to all concerned?
