Buckers with Willard L. Eccles, chairman of the military division of the war chest, it unanimously was agreed that the depots would do their full share of meeting the quota of funds required for the great national war agencies and the welfare agencies on the home front. Lieutenant (jg) Edgar M. Rose, heads up the organizatior. Possibly there is Someone .in your organization, another employe. or department head, whom you feel is forever bucking you. The crganization is very rare in which certain people are not working at cross purposes. When you feel that someone is bucking you, do you yield io that quite human tendency vo get even?

These clashes may be temporary, or they may develop into a more or less permanent grudge fight. When that happens everyone loses and nobody gains. The quickest and surest way to win over a ncn-cooperative antagonistic associate is to refrain from ‘‘fighting fire withzfire.’’ That principle may apply in some situations, but it certainly does not make good for or- ganization relationships. .

Here is the answer: cn your own job. © ie i . This is your war. Your men Here are several simple rulés suggested to govern the manner in which another employe or department head should deal with the antagonistic and non-cooperative associate. 1. Ignore as far as possible the non-cooperative acts of the “bucker.”’ ° 2. ‘Try to devise some manner in which you can return co‘ operation for non-cooperation, return good for evil. - 3° Don’t: talk and complain! to others about the person who is bucking you. Rather, say nothing, or, if you talk to anyone * about it, talk to the man himself, tactfully. -4. Avoid all actions which may give the non-cooperative per‘son any reason for continuing a non-cooperative attitude. Remember, always, that jthe bigger person is the one who can rise abovepersonalities, prejudices, pettiness and the childish noticn that one must always ‘‘get even.” ‘If. you know some non-coopérative associate in your depart- ment, just try some of these simple principles when dealing with him. You certainly will never develop cooperative relationships with any prson by straining yourself to outbuck him.

A friend just showed me an article referring again to the ‘‘freedom weall hold so dear.’’ Who all? Those of us who leave work to go hunting? Those who grumble or resign because the pay doesn’t meet their desires? Those who quit because the stress of work causes some unusual discomfort? Who all holds this freedom so dear? _ Love of freedom is an active emotion. It is not the complacency with which we receive her unearned favors. It is the rethe resentment we teel when these are taken away. It is the response to a gift cr achievement that has won our gratitude. Many Americans do not love freedom because they never recognized her. She was present but not understood. Her bounties were taken for granted. The roar of pain that went up when she threatened to leave was not love. If this threatened departure of freedom can awaken in us some of the appreciation that persecuted foreigners have for her, we may again learn to love her. She may again become the “‘freedom we all hold so dear.”’ = {4% % * # #BUY MORE BONDS AND STAMPS ") k #44 4 3KEEP THE STOREHOUSES FULL Miss Mary Zekes, 20 year old glamor girl from Accounting Department is this week’s pin-up girl.

Once upon a time hundreds of years ago, a noted man had a vision of the future and tried to turn men’s minds away from the dead past. He saw that men would fly through the skies,-that voices would be heard around the world. That houses would be of many stories and lighted without lamps; that power would come from water heated in a closed container. They thought he was crazy and hurried him away to ail. The first to translate the English Bible was imprisoned and exiled. The man who brought out the first New Testament was burned at the stake. In the beginnings of electricity many said it was from the devil and petitioned against its use. For saving France and its king the sweet girl, Joan of Arc, was burned at the stake. Andit is still in vogue today to look with contempt upon many of those with advanced ideas for human good.
