That I had taken gifts divine, The Breath of life and manhood fine, And tried to use them now and then In service for my fellowman. I'd hate to think when life is through That I had lived my round of years A useless time that leaves behind No record in its vale of tears; That I had wasted all my days By treading only selfish ways And that this world would be the same If it had never heard my name. I'd like to think when life is done That here and there, there shall remain A happier spot which might have not Existed had I toiled for gain, That someone's cheery voice and smile Shall prove that I had been worthwhile That I had paid with something fine, My debt to God for life divine.

JEFFRIES JOHN SNYDER Hershey Rotary Club Presentation By Gilbert Nurick October 3, 1983 Such a generous introduction compels me, in all candor, to acknowledge that some people regard me in lower esteem. Early in my career, I was asked to represent a group who wanted to start a second taxicab service in Altoona to break the Yellow Cab monopoly up there. I gladly accepted the challenge. In those days you had to apply to the Public Service Commission, now known as the "Pennsylvania Public utility Commission", for operating authority. It was a real hard fight. As happens to so many matters I handle, I lost. About three weeks later I had occasion to go to Altoona on business. Those days you traveled by rail. There was frequent rail service, believe it or not. I got off the station in Altoona and hailed a cab to go up to the Penn Alto Hotel. I thought I'd kid the driver en route and I asked him, "Wasn't there supposed to be another cab company here, American Cab Company?" He replied, "Oh, they tried. 1I I said, IIWhat happened?" He responded, liThe PSC turned them down.
