EVERY JOB IS AN IMPORTANT ONE "Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well" is one adage which has come down to us through the years that can- not be improved upon. The importance which we attach to our job may rise and fall like the foam-crested tides of the sea. It takes the high tide to float the ship stranded on the sand bar—it takes the high tide of estimation to put any job across satisfactorily. How often have we said to ourselves, "If only I had that fellow's job, I would show you how to put it over in wonderful shape?" Then, perhaps, we landed the job, which, the green hillside far away, appeared perfectly smooth and easy of accomplishment, but a close-up revealed many stones and rough spots on it. Every job has its rough spots. There goes a story about a nailer who nailed a box one day, while a busy factory a thousand miles away stood idle waiting for some replacement machinery. No one was there to say, "Much depends on you, old man; no one to exclaim, "Until this crate arrives, a certain plant must stand idle." In that nailer's mind there was not much necessity of showing any particular speed or skill—in his opinion he had an ordinary job that anyone could handle. So, to him, it mattered not whether he played the game good or bad, for who was there beyond the factory gate who would ever know his name? Yet that day the box moved out to be filled with delicate machinery that had taken many days to build. Five days later a telegram told the simple story: "Machinery broken in transit account of defective crate." The starting of the plant had to be postponed until another date. Unimportant, you say! The way the nailer had performed his simple task that day was very im- portant. The nails which had been driven crooked split the box. Every job is important. There is a \tROVE CAMP.

HAINES-MANIGAN A brilliant church wedding was solemn- ized at St. Paul's Lutheran church on Aug. 12 when Miss Mildred M. Manigan became the bride of Roland Haines. The bride wore a period gown of white satin trimmed with old point lace. Her veil was of lace with a coronet of orange blossoms and pearls. She carried a shower bouquet of gladiolas and sweet peas. The little Misses Charlotte Fowler and Pearl Dahlsing were the train bearers, wearing dainty gowns of white georgette. The maid of honor, Miss Anne Tankard, wore shaded pink chiffon and carried a bouquet of sweet peas in pastel tones. The brides- maids were Miss Marion Gade, wearing pale green chiffon, and Miss Nora Brun- got in light blue chiffon. They carried old- fashioned bouquets of white phlox. The bride was given in marriage by John Graff. The church was beautifully decorated for the occasion by young friends of the couple, quantities of flowers were used and tastefully arranged about the central fea- GYMNASIUM CLASS OF THE BURGESS GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

Fisette of No. 2 machine elevator had a very narrow escape at York Pond re- cently when he accidently slipped on a stairway, catching his hand in a mouse- trap below. However, it proved to be more of a surprise than a disaster. Better keep your hands in your pockets, Fisette.

Burt Sunbury of No. 3 elevator has on his automobile the only fool proof lock in existence. He demonstrated it to the boys here and it proved to be O. K. But, on the other hand, it has its disadvantages. Mr. Sunbury forgot his keys one day and had to crawl under and work his way up through the chassis to slip the lock on the inside. As there are very few double- jointed men in this world, the sale of these locks will be limited, perhaps.

Since the N. H. State motor vehicle laws are demanding an official inspection of all automobiles, we have a humorous incident to tell about MacCosh.
