OUT ON A— LIMB by Bo McLeod JaboKing showed me this thing, and it makes pretty good sense. I don’t know how many of you employ other folks, but whether you do or not, I’m sure you can appreci ate the wisdom herein: In Singapore a Chinese banker framed these “T e n Commandments” for his em ployees. While not represent ative of Twentieth Century America’s way cf living, some are worth remembering: 1. Don’t lie, it wastes my time and yours. I am sure to catch you in the end. 2. Watch your work and not the clock. A long day’s work makes a long day short, and a short day’s work makes my face long. 3. Give me more than I ex pect, and I will pay you more than you expect- I can afford to increase your pay if you increase my profits. 4. Keep out of debt. You owe so much to yourself that you cannot afford to owe any body else. 5. Dishonesty is never an accident. 6. Mind your own business, and in time you will have a business of your own to mind. 7. Don’t do anything here that hurts your self-respect. The employee who is capable cif stealing for me is capable of stealing from me- 8. It’s none of my business what you do at night, but if dissipatiomaffecte what you do the next day you will last half as long as you hope. 9. Don’t tell me what I would like to hear, but what I ought to hear. I don’t want a valet for my vanity, but for my money. 10. Don’t kick if I kick. If you are worth correcting you are worth keeping. That’s it. The thoughts ex pressed may seem a bit old timey, but there are still a few folks around who prac tice the “commandments” as listed here. If you’re fortun ate enough to know one, pat him on the back now, for his is a vanishing breed- The Democrats are about to have their reunion and de cide who’ll be their candidate for president, vice president, and what sort of platform those candidates will stand on while running, a darn neat trick, if you stop and think about it. It looks from like Lyndon B. Johnson will be the candi date for president, no matter what you may hear at the coffee shop. As for a plat form, Lyndon has been mov ing so fast and doing so much since he’s been in there, I don’t know anything left to promise. This may sound like a compliment to LBJ, but it’s more li ;e a reflection that a politick n who does things is always in danger of working himself out of issues. Poor Lyndon. The South can’t trust him because of what he’s already done, and the rest of the country is suspicious of what he might do. That doesn’t leave much of a nest egg, but Lyndon won’t need much. Thanks to Finley Perry, I ' now have a can of Gold Water that is the ‘right drink for the conservative taste,’ and I’m afraid to taste it. What if I don’t like it!
