Anway, the bird darts out and fllea along in front of the vehicle. Can't Move Fast However, its spread and maneuverability is geared to the horse and buggy age. The bird cannot move fast enough to keep safely ahead of the modern motor car. Because this habit la persisted In more during the nesting season than at any other time, it results In double tragedy, for, as a result of the parents death, the young In the hidden nest also die. Tho brown thrasher, or thrush, a It la sometimes call ed, is related to the catbird, robin and the bluebird. The thrasher la one of the sweet est sinners of the woodland. Its melodious song Is a long continued, clear whistle with each note round and clear. Unfortunate, too, with these elusive birds. Is the fact they always insist on building their nest close to the ground, in a low bush, or in a tangled weed clump. Mr. Thrasher la a considerate and helpful hus band, eagerly helping with the first nest of the summer season. The second nest is usually constructed by the female alone, while he Is teaching the first brood some of the things a baby thrasher must know. But, by mutual agree ment, both parents assist in Incubating the eggs, and feed ing the young. Tho male thrasher, regard less of how busy he is, always finds time to fly up into a tree on a favorite singing perch, and tells the world, by en thusiastic song, that he is happy to be alive. His Territory From his singing perch he Indicates to all who will lis ten that this Is his territory, and he Is wiling to fight to preserve It.

COMMENTARY Arlington, Texas -'A stgn on the side of a turnpike en trance booth near Arlington reads: "Smile - People Will Wonder What You're Up To." Pamphlet Offers Advice on What To Do If You're Fired By HENRY J. BECHTOLD United Press International New York - (Ml - You're fired!" These two short words are the most devastating In the English language to most peo ple. They probably have caused more anguish and heartbreak than Is normally recognized, mainly because their victims suffer this phase of business life alone and In relative silence. You may never have been confronted with this situation but don't get the Idea that you never will. Top executives as well as office boys are unwit ting victims. According to Phil Kelly, president of the Sales Execu tive Club of New York, most executives live with this "monkey on their backs." Every decision they make is governed in one way or another by their desire to preserve status quo. Don't take a chance, he advises. Maybe it will backfire. If it does, "don't get panicky," Kelly warns.. . He has prepared a pamph let, "What To Do When You Get Fired," to help people caught in this situation with a bit of sound advice and coun sel. Tell the Truth The pamphlet is primarily intended for executives in the business of selling, advertis ing, marketing and distribu tion, but is applicable to those in other lines since its prin ciples are basic in concept. Kelly's first bit of advice is, "if you get fired - admit it." Too many people, he says, feel discouraged and dis graced because they have been fired. It's no disgrace, he states, adding that there are a hun-dred-and-one reasons why forced severance might have been necessary. Maybe It Was a merger, with attendant staff cuts; maybe pressure of for eign competition dictated the move; maybe certain markets have dried up, products be come obsolete. Many times, Kelly points out, a firing gives the boss as big a headache as it does the employe. "But it s all amn- metic and strictly Imperson al." Losing a job is seldom fatal, except to pride and self-confidence. The outcome of the situation depends entirely upon the man, Kelly says. He can attack the problem de- Firmer ft' P to You "eliminate lizards The n Your Farm! liberately, aggressively and with logic, or get jittery about the entire situation. . Like Selling a Product The pamphlet points out that looking for a job is simi lar to marketing a new and unknown product. In this case the product is you. The pamphlet offers a formula for analysis of your biggest assets -the qualities your next em ployer la looking to buy. The resume la listed as the most important link in the chain of job-seeking. "It has to be long enough and com plete enough to tell the in dividual's story in a way that reflects his character, exper ience and potentials In the best light." Kelly say's the want ads, agencies, direct mall and cold calls all play a part In getting the resume into the hands of those who might use your services. The pamphlet also gives a rundown of the fine art of boosting the yearly salary. A good man never sells himself too cheaply. It says. "Good executives don't like cheap men." The pamphlet also explains how to use references to your best advantage, and evaluates aptitude testing. All in all, firing is a' hot and touchy subject, Kolly says. "It's a subject that peo ple like to avoid. In fact many people who will read the pamphlet will cover up the title page for fear that someone will see them read. Ing it. It's like the Kinsey re port. Everybody Is Interested but nobody wants to admit it."
