IIARRY MYERS7 Blue Ridge Indu strial Conference. • I think these meetings shQuld be intensely practical. I think they should be very conversational, that we should have open discussion, and I think we should discuss those things that we ought to go back ho1ne and practice. There are Six Pl'inciples of Foremanship. Did you l<'now there \Vere sjx? Why six? Why not 5 or 7 Ol.' 8 or 9? Did you evet· analyze your job in r elation to definite principles ? What is a principle? Bacon said : ''Heading maketh a full nutn, conver sation a re~cly man, writing an exact man." Read good stuff. Think over the things you have in mind, and then write.

As 've talked thi t hing over, he said, "I ant coming bacl\ to see you. I thought ,,-e were pretty cle-an nnd orderly, but after seeing your planL, I th ink we are terribb' congested." I have never seen a pJace that was congested that \·vas not disorderly. Yes, it does not n1atter what I am doing, if there is cU rt and clisordel' in rn~r departn1ent, I cannot \Vork well. The t hjng that is f unrlamentally \vrong " ·ith us is that \Ye are not in order . • ~' ork is the use of Time, Energy, lVIaterial. Absolute physical order is the nrst step in doing anything right. ';Neatness cleanliness orderliness the in1portance of these things is due to the fact that they have a great effect on the \vay a man's mind w.orks. The 111an ''fho keeps himself and all his tools clean is apt to do things \\1ell. . uDirt is always evidence of waste, eithel:' of n1aterial or of n1ental and physical energy, or both." Until you can get this thing over to yorn· people so that they \von 't have dirty disorderly plants, you have not started then1 to a success in Hfe. Work is the use of time! energy and material. . Suppose your company won't let you get the p1·oper equipment? J \vill say here that you can have a type of n1achinery that j s toe good for a job, just the same a~ you can have machinery that is not good enough. There are pe1·hap-s lots of companies that would like to have proper equipment. Is the equipn1ent you have working as well as it should, is it working as '\Vell as 11 could if you w-Ou1d take a littJe interest in it? I have seen many and ma11y a foreman denied better equipment because he did not take care of what he had. lf you can just begin to get people to think· in the telins of ot·der and the care of property, th e cost of opf.n·ating OUl' plant~ \VOulrl be 1nuch less.

HE O\\i ne1· of thi'" finge1· \Vas i1 an automobile \vreck on August 16th. The ,ar turned over and in son1e manner the ring on this finger were caught, st1·ipping all flesh frorr the bone and making an amputation necessaTy. TI1e1~ are t'='O l'ing on this finger and if you look closely ~ u will see that the rings themselves were badly bent from the force applied. Ey idently something abou· the steering \Vheel caught under the ring as the 1an fell. This case brings to mind two othe similar cases. One was of a cook in the navv. . fie \l. . on the dec1- playing \Vith the Captain's dog. chash.;. it about and "·aving his arm . l-Ie felt a ring on ht 1ng~r catch on a hatch hook and thought the ring bro "· · n in" t(J nt. later he sa\v that the dog had hi ting~· in it, n1outh. The finger had been jerked off at th nenre--t ioint. The other case was of a n1an who camf n "·ith a terribly lace1·aterl finger. It ·was toxn to.,he bon from the pa1m to the tip. He stated that ~ j un1pcd fton1 his car and sltunmed the door at tho;an1e time and caught his finger ill the door latch .• Vhen asked if he had a ring on, he r eplied that he td not. reverthe- les. he brought the 1·ing in the nc·· Inoening·.

"It is the most interesting political and socialistie . experiment being made in the \VOrld today," declares D1~ . Hoover. "To cross the frontier into Russia is like entering into a new \Vorld and seeing a new cirilization -if you can call it a civilization. Life ther e is strange and abnost unbelievably diffexent. I can conceive of no {)lle who has ever know·n another kind of civilization finding lasting happiness there nndel' the pre . ent system. There is an absolute lacl~ of per~onal freedon1.

Its Kick is more powerf ul t han that of the Mule. We cannot condemn the wisddm of its creator, but we wonder wh.y the ostrich was endo\\·ed with power to run fast. Gh,en the deserts open spaces it runs in a circle and does not get anywhere. The ostrich might ' ell walk, since it is on its way to '~) here it staf·ted.

The second rule is to select vegetables of contrasting Ila vor such as peas, a bland vegetable, onions, st1·ongly flavored, and tomatoes acid. rrhe third suggestjon is to ·ary the mode of cooking : ba¥-e one vegetable, boil another: fry or . callop another. rrhree or four vegetables are all that flt'C necessary for an attTactive plate.

I think they should be very conversational, that we should have open discussion, and I think we should discuss those things that we ought to go back ho1ne and practice. There are Six Pl'inciples of Foremanship. Did you l<'now there \Vere sjx? Why six? Why not 5 or 7 Ol.' 8 or 9? Did you evet· analyze your job in r elation to definite principles ? What is a principle? Bacon said : ''Heading maketh a full nutn, conver sation a re~cly man, writing an exact man." Read good stuff. Think over the things you have in mind, and then write.

As 've talked thi t hing over, he said, "I ant coming bacl\ to see you. I thought ,,-e were pretty cle-an nnd orderly, but after seeing your planL, I th ink we are terribb' congested." I have never seen a pJace that was congested that \·vas not disorderly. Yes, it does not n1atter what I am doing, if there is cU rt and clisordel' in rn~r departn1ent, I cannot \Vork well. The t hjng that is f unrlamentally \vrong " ·ith us is that \Ye are not in order . • ~' ork is the use of Time, Energy, lVIaterial. Absolute physical order is the nrst step in doing anything right. ';Neatness cleanliness orderliness the in1portance of these things is due to the fact that they have a great effect on the \vay a man's mind w.orks. The 111an ''fho keeps himself and all his tools clean is apt to do things \\1ell. . uDirt is always evidence of waste, eithel:' of n1aterial or of n1ental and physical energy, or both." Until you can get this thing over to yorn· people so that they \von 't have dirty disorderly plants, you have not started then1 to a success in Hfe. Work is the use of time! energy and material. . Suppose your company won't let you get the p1·oper equipment? J \vill say here that you can have a type of n1achinery that j s toe good for a job, just the same a~ you can have machinery that is not good enough. There are pe1·hap-s lots of companies that would like to have proper equipment. Is the equipn1ent you have working as well as it should, is it working as '\Vell as 11 could if you w-Ou1d take a littJe interest in it? I have seen many and ma11y a foreman denied better equipment because he did not take care of what he had. lf you can just begin to get people to think· in the telins of ot·der and the care of property, th e cost of opf.n·ating OUl' plant~ \VOulrl be 1nuch less.

The ,ar turned over and in son1e manner the ring on this finger were caught, st1·ipping all flesh frorr the bone and making an amputation necessaTy. TI1e1~ are t'='O l'ing on this finger and if you look closely ~ u will see that the rings themselves were badly bent from the force applied. Ey idently something abou· the steering \Vheel caught under the ring as the 1an fell. This case brings to mind two othe similar cases. One was of a cook in the navv. . fie \l. . on the dec1- playing \Vith the Captain's dog. chash.;. it about and "·aving his arm . l-Ie felt a ring on ht 1ng~r catch on a hatch hook and thought the ring bro "· · n in" t(J nt. later he sa\v that the dog had hi ting~· in it, n1outh.

"It is the most interesting political and socialistie . experiment being made in the \VOrld today," declares D1~ . Hoover. "To cross the frontier into Russia is like entering into a new \Vorld and seeing a new cirilization -if you can call it a civilization. Life ther e is strange and abnost unbelievably diffexent. I can conceive of no {)lle who has ever know·n another kind of civilization finding lasting happiness there nndel' the pre . ent system. There is an absolute lacl~ of per~onal freedon1.
