In my opinion th's is en- tirely wrong, because in many cases, people have worked very hard to secure their property that is be nc destroyed. Yet it means nothing to the one who is destroyin'’ it. There should not be in any- one s' mind the thought of de- struction that is going to hurt or deprive anyone else. It doesn't natter if it is a lar ' e or small amount destroy- ed, there is still the same thought behind it. Respect for your neighbors' property may be applied in many different situations and places-v hether it be at home, at school, at church, at a friend's house or at a public gathering of some type. In some cases it is not en- tirely the fault of the youns person fcr not having recard for the personal propertv of others. It may be the fault of the parents for net teach- ing their children that what is not theirs should be treat- ed as if it were theirs and to respect it even more then they would their own. On the other hand the parent may have tried herd to make their child rea- lize what the results of these acts of destruction mean to o- thar oeoole, bat tberr do not always succeed in this task. Their own ccntemoorsries have more influence. As a person grows older he will have to start thinking for himself and sooner or later will have to make a living for himself. At this time he will coma tc realize crure thorov hiy the meaning that havvnr one's propertv de- stroy c.a is nothinv tc laugh at. 14- even t :cugh he might have been a victim of this crime at seme time or another. If ycu should borrow some- thing from another person make sure that it ic returned in as good condition as it was given to you. Sometimes this is not possible to do, but, always try. I am sure we would like tc bavs ether people do the same for us.

The girl who gets the better- paying office job (let's say, $75 and above)is the girl who has been trained in either se- cretaria l-skirls’ or bock-keep- ing-machine skills. Education pays. DROP-OUTS DOOMED TO LE3 VSR JOBS Extracted from the Monthly La- bor Review; and taken from the Career Guidance Digest. A girl needs a high school diploma and special business training if she wants to qual- ify for an office position. Without either, she usually ends up with a lower caliber job. according to the Monthly Labor Review: The difference in the caliber of jobs between drop-outs and graduates is even more evident among women (than among men). Only about one-sixth of toe employed wo- men drop-outs are office work- ers, compared with two- thirds of the women graduates. In other words, the girl who grad- uates is four times as likely to qualify for an office posi- tion The girl who drops out be- fore graduation must settle for a lesser position.
