the fentire medical profession which includes dentists medical doctors optometrists and others are all inter-related this state ment was made by dr george l deschweinitz associate head of the department of opthalmology at st luke's hospital before the mem bers of the r w hall pre-medical society wednesday night in pack ard laboratory dr deschweinitz's address was a very informal one he spoke mostly on the importance of having the eyes attended to from infancy on eye strain a very common condition is quite often the cause of many nervous disorders which cause more serious illness in later life continued dr deschweinitz the proper methods of removing foreign particles from the eye were demonstrated by the doctor he alsovdisproved the common fallacy that solutions used for the purpose of dilating the pupil were injurious to the eye • to weave into their lives the cardinal virtues which made wash ington really great was the advice given to citizens by dr claude g beardslee professor of moral and religious philosophy in a talk given before the fountain hill post 406 american legion and many citi zens of fountain hill last monday evening the meeting was held in com

tasks to speak the truth stated dr beardslee groups favor house parties no toll on the new street bridge . . . that was the report that reach ed lehigh last week but arthur grosh official toll taker of the bridge firmly announces that there sfill is a toll and those taking a short cut to bethlehem must still deposit the red penny in the tin toll box f the false alarm started arthur grosh explained when six lehigh men saw the expired contract in the window of the toll house and believed the bridge fee to be uncol lectable the new contract will soon be in the window grosh ex plained but in the meanwhile the toll is still one cent while interurban trolley cars rattled through tfte bridge and oc casional autos stopped to deposit toll arthur grosh leaned against the toll house and continued the conversation by telling of some in cidents in his life toll collector reminisces i was born in bethlehem be gan grosh back in the days when college boys were older than they are now and the town was very small my father can remember the days when it required a ferry boat to cross the lehigh river . . . now you can almost wade across it well grosh continued i played the cello in the bach musi cales when i was a young man and one day had an offer to conduct an orchestra at the exclusive thou sand island yacht club musicians opportunities come suddenly and rarely so i accepted the position the toll collector paused in his story to collect a dime from the driver of an expensive looking car things were pretty nice at the yacht club grosh confided we played all of the popular victor herbert favorites of that period and were cared for in the same style as the millionaires but even shrimp cocktail becomes tiresome when you have it every day members of the orchestra were often taken on yacht trips to entertain the guests but these voyages over a definite course after the first few trips be came more of a routine job than a pleasure duties are monotonous "" the toll collector didn't say when or why he quit his position of luxury nor was he asked he is simply back in his home town en gaged in a job where life is a lit tle less thrilling than in his earlier days among the millionaires the job gets tiresome admits gro%h in explaining his bethlehem work you see the same people every day he says you do the same things and you say the same things over and over a penny was placed on the win dow sill and mechanically collector grosh pulled it into the tin box man has worked among the most exclusive people of the coun try and among the most usual peo ple of the streets but for collecting toll or entertaining millionaires he has one phrase it's a job thomlinson announces new assignments in student regiment cadet officers are promoted arc weld data is

balkan consolidation harmon discusses patriot's experience that the aim of motion study in job analysis is to cause the machine to be an integrated personality of worker and machine by extending the personality of the worker was the opinion of dr lillian m gill breth in her lecture motion study in job analysis sponsored by tn robert w blake society last night in packard laboratory dr gillbreth explained that since the industrial revolution the focus of attention has been shifted from the materials and machines to the human element of production in analyzing a job the worker is con sidered first and the factors of en vironment and working conditions are but secondary the worker is first convinced continued dr gillbreth that by analyzing his job he receives the benefits and reduced fatigue wasted motions and time if this ethical background is not considered the analysis will fail because the work er will not cooperate if he does not get returns from his efforts analysis creates security mrs gillbreth stated that this period of unemployment may seem an odd time for job analysis if the purpose of the analysis is considered to be the transfering of skill from men to machines this transfer of skill means the production of labor saving devices and this in turn re sults in unemployment but ac cording to dr gillbreth job analy sis results in a gain of security in the transferable units of the opera tions motion study is not entirely an engineering problem for psycholo gy is so closely linked to it that the effects of either one can not be studied separately in discussing the psychological side of the ques tion dr gillbreth continued by saying that motion study is an at titude of the mind because in its final aim it ends to make the work ers motion minded the workers are taught to consider their actions as motions of grasp release lift and the like in analyzing an inefficient opera tion the first thing that is done is to determine which part of the whole operation is most important at this stage of the analysis the addition ofc labor saving devices may correct the inefficiency if the work is not too refined 1 9 fraternities vote down mcconn s

emphasized the fact that washington was the man of the hour as hero of the revolu tion and first president of the united states this fact as well as his being a native of virginia solved the colonists problem of a leader washington was in a sense a genius because he not only planned for his own time said doctor har mon but also for the problems of subsequent generations so that they might not be
