Flashy Appearance Taboo In Hunt for Employment By Betty Clarke (AP Feature Writer) You're trying to get a Job. Per haps you're one of this year's col lege graduates. Or perhaps Job -hunting Is an old story. In either case, you get out your best suit, give yourself a shampoo, and put on your brightest look. For the success stories tell you person ality will get the Job. They're right, young lady but you must remember that personality im plies good grooming aa much as sparkling enthusiasm. So, when you get out that best suit, be sure it's conservative in cut and color, and pressed neatly. Your blouse must be spotless. And If you're the sort of person whose blouse la forever parting com pany with your skirt, wear a tail ored dress. Don't forget to wear your hat and gloves. Your employer-to-be may want to see if your gloves are as neat as the rest of your outfit. It doesn't always follow." And keep your hat on even II you feel your golden curls really should be shown. Your executive may not be that susceptible. This is ni time to experiment with your coiffure. The way you've been wearing your hair probably is as good as any. And you'll look more natural. Better get your new wave a few days before Job-hunting begins again. It's the naturalness that counts. Don't confuse your brightest look with the brightest of cosmetics. Em ployers, as a rule, are ultra-conservative. They don't mind a bit of lipstick and a mild application of rouge, but most of Ihem object to flashy nail polish. Clean hands and neat manicuring are far more Im portant than colored nails. Paris fair Populaa.

FRENCH VILLAGE SOLVES SECRET OF NO TAXATION Citizens Contribute Labor Instead Of Cash Levies To Keep Things Going Town Without Slackers. slacker, the scheme would not work. But here everyone depends on every one else sooner or later. The cattle need purging, the death watch must be kept, a baby U horn, one must have friends at a wedding party, the doctor must be fetched the neighbor is always there. Sooner or later he will help you. It may not be like that everywhere, but here tt la tike that." Mayor Ravaux hu been mayor of Bealcourt for twenty-five years. He la typical, as his Tillage, of the amall French farmers, who are known aa peasant. They form, aa Brland put tt, "the backbone and fortune of France." B KALCOURT. Fra nee ( UP ) Beal court la only a tiny village of 100 people. In the northwest French prov ince of the fiomme. re resident are all farmers, and no one would know of It elsewhere except that it Is one village where there are no taxes. A place where no one . paya any taxes Is a phenomenon, and Bealcourt has had its name praised throughout France. A visit to this little hamlet shows that the story la nearly true is fully true If taxes mean only money payments. Bealcourt pays no cash taxes, rum on a slim budget of 10.000 francs per year (about MOO) and yet Ita school, lta roads, its water, electricity supply are all in perfect condition How Is this achieved? Instead of paying taxes the villagers pay with their voluntary work. How Light Came Mayor Adeodat Ravaux. telling of hla unique system, explained It aim ply by describing how electricity came to town. "The big companies had put their lines through our countryside, but aa Bealcourt Is hidden by the trees they didn't manage to see It. I made a big noise with the authorities and they finally said they would string a line into the village for 11,- 000 francs. That was a real problem with only a budget of 10.000. "We called the town council all the able bodied men together and 1 said to them: "We'vo got plenty of trees down In the marshlands. None would notice if we cut a few of them, and that will pay for electricity. So we cut the trees, had our electricity and a little extra money In the village fund. We also planted new trees, so the village lost nothing." poor Favored On days when planting and har vesting are over, the villagers Join to gether to quarry stone and prepare their roads. The village green la open to use the year round, with the poor villagers with only one cow given full rights, while "richer" farmers are strictly limited In their use of the common land.
