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.

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.
The mayor's comment when asked
how the villagers reacted to working
