ROBINSON’S 550 East 13th Spring Means Picnics Gas up at VARSITY SERVICE STATION 706 13th E. Phone 3541 Let the Emerald tell your friends about Junior Weekend and University life For the remainder of spring term— 50c Herbert Anderson, The Oregon Daily Emerald, Eugene, Oregon. Dear Sir: Enclosed is 50c in payment of a subscription for the rest of spring term to be sent to: Very truly yours, Name . Address Tomorrow’s Job Copyright 1940 by Western Personnel Service HAVE YOU EVER. THOUGHT OF CJ2ACKIHC AN EXAM TO GET THAT IMPORTANT FIRST JOB? WOULD you LIKE TO HAVE THE MAILMAN KEEP YOU POSTED ON CIVIL SEP VICE EXAMS? i Did you ever think of getting your first job by passing an ex am ? Civil service jobs, obtained only by examination, offer possi bilities for achievement (advance ment and responsibility. In gov ernment service there is every type of opportunity—everything from poundmaster to governor's aide. For inexperienced college grad uates, many civil service jobs are open. A new development is the practice of appointing govern ment internes or apprentices; the purpose of this program is to give the experience which may eventually lead to opportunity in higher government service or in private business or industry. It pays to watch the announce ments of all civil service groups ■—federal, state, county, and mu nicipal units. Also, it isn't a bad idea to take an examination even though the position isn’t exactly what is wanted. Government of ficials say that the more exam inations a person takes, the easier it is to pass them. Uncle Sam pays up to a year to junior professional as sistants. However, some appren ticeships programs pay as little as $50 a month. But regardless of what the pay may be. civil serv ice is an excellent way to get a “start.” The California State Personnel board in Sacramento will send an nouncements of examinations on any requested subject. For in stance, if a person writes and asks to be notified of all account ing exams, the board will do this. For further information on civil service or for any other occupa tional information, students should call at the office of Karl W. Onthank, dean of personnel. Copyright, 1940, Western Per sonnel Service. college education is worth some thing has been obtained by the Columbia Broadcasting company. Those four hard years were worth at least $64 to a student from New York's City college. The gentleman in question was a con testant at a preview of the new radio quiz show “Take It or Leave It,” the one which ups the ante, and thus the risk, every time one answers a question cor rectly. The student romped through six questions, entitling him to $32 if he stopped there, and either $64 or nothing if he took a chance on the next ques tion. The emcee took a look at the question and advised the young man to quit. Ke refused. The question was, “How many signers were there to the Declaration of Independence?” The City college man had been asked this very same question in a history quiz the day before. He pocketed the $64. The answer, in case you’re interested, is 56.

One day Joe died. Early this February I saw a horse that looked like Joe drawing a milk wagon. I sneaked up to him and whispered, “Is it you, Joe?’’ He said, “Yes, and am I happy!” I said, “Why?” He said, “I am now wearing a comfort able collar for the first time in my life. My shirt collars always used to shrink and irk me. In fact, one choked me to death. That is why I died!” “Why didn't you tell me about your shirts sooner?” I exclaimed. “I would have told you about Arrow shirts. They never shrink cut of fit! Not even the oxfords.” “Swell,” said Joe. “My boss needs a shirt like that. I’ll teil him about the button-down Gordon oxford. Maybe he’ll give me an extra quart of oats.
