Thursday, Jan. 22, 1942, Vernonia Eagle, Vernonia, Oregon The Forum Five pedestrians were killed and 50 more were injured when struck while walking diagonally across street intersections in Oregon in 1040, according to figures compiled by Earl Snell, secretary of state. This practice is especially dan gerous during winter months when visibility is greatly reduced by in clement weather. It is one more reason why pedestrians always should display something white when walking at night. Walking across an intersection diagonally forces the pedestrian to cross the path of ten lines of vehi cular movement through the inter section, Snell said in emphasizing the danger when so many oppor tunities are presented. • Oh, Say, can you see yourself ironing your own shirts? * Of course not! It would be a waste of time and effort, and hot, messy job at that. Your wife’s time is valuable too, and it isn’t fair to ex pect her to drudge a- way at a man-sized job like ironing. Vernonia Laundry & Cleaners Vernonia This letter is in answer to the unemployed V. II. S. graduates’ letter in last week’s Eagle. You are absolutely right in your opinion that married women should not hold jobs which would support or help support single girl's. However, I believe you have fail ed to give the business man credit for good business sense and 1 also believe you fail to look your own failings in the eye. There should be no reason why a single girl could not do a job as well as a married woman but it has been pretty well proven tha. in a good many, not all, cases they do not. Here are the reasons as I see them from my experience. Pleasure comes first with a good percentage of the single girls. If she has to devote some hours to work which she coul'd be using for her own “dates” or parties she lakes a martyred attitude toward her job and either eventually gives it up or gets “fired” for ineffic iency. In modern business, even the most trivial kind, efficiency of an em ploye is the first thing an employ- er looks for. Many girls are willing to work to an extent, that is they take an attitude such as this: “ Well, I’m putting in eight hours and I’m working so they can’t holler about me.” These girls are strictly pay check grabbers, not workers! Most' employers want only a fair days work from their employes, but you’ll find the old, valued, respect ed employes are the one who are willing to put in just a little more time and energy and do detailed work. I have known a case or two where the pay check and a steady job were no inducement at all, where the girl had a steady paying job and quit it for hqr pleasures sake. Others would not take the job for the same reason, and others were not aggressive enough to ask for the job when they knew they could have had it. There are only three things to do with any job: 1. Get it. 2. Do it. 3. Do it a little better. Until many of you single girls get it out of your heads that a job is going to hunt you yoa’re going to get awfully job hungry. And until you get it out of your heads that after you get it you’re going to be on the payroll perman- entiy with-mt anv exertion, you’re peing to be badlv fooled. You’ll see a settled married woman taking over your job and pay check, and no one to blame but yourselves. Thia letter is not meant to hurl liny one’s feelings nor to advance the writer’s ego. I’m just trying to help you out from my view of other’s exper iences. I hope you all prosper.
