fcrrlng a thicket in which to
nest, which usually grows
alongside a country road, the
bird Is alarmed at the car's
approach, or la attempting to
lead a would - be molester
away from the concealed neat.
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. If an enemy of
any kind, or size, approaches,
Mr. and Mrs. Thrasher com
bine their efforts to drive
away the Intruder,
In the early spring, the
song of the brown thrasher
and the flitting form In tho
thicket, Informs the winter
weary folks that the spring
has come, and nil's right with
the world, I.' this olive brown
bird with the white speckled
breast, could Just learn that
motor cars travel faster, and
hit harder, than the slow
moving horse and buggy,
there would be more brown
trashcrs to add their lively
song to the shrubby roadsides
and woodlands.

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-

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."

Most farm accidents can be prevented.
Surveys show that the basic cause of
farm accidents is human neglect.
Coupled with haste, false confidence and
lack of knowledge, the greatest hazards
are improper equipment, improper care
and use of machinery, and "putting off"
needed repairs.
JULY 24-30
FOLLOW THE RULES OF SAFETY FARMING
AND KEEP YOUR FARM ACCIDENT FREE!
This is National Farm Safety Week, set aside by the National Safety
Council to call attention to unnecessary hazards on the average farm
hazards that you can eliminate on your farm. Accidents are costly and
their cost may be your life! So don't take chances. Clean up and fix up
your buildings and machines. Be careful in handling animals. Use extra
caution when working with electricity. Keep your farm accident free
this year.
