THE SHACKELFORD COUNTY LEADER, ALBANY. TEXAS
My Column
MRS. C. C. CADY
Myrick's Dairy has been sold to
jj. E. Padgett of Cisco and the
new owners will take possession
july i. Mr. and Mrs. Padgett are
well known in Moran, having
moved to Cisco only recently. They
are experienced in the dairy busi-
ness and will give the same good
service the Myricks have rendered
to the citizens of Moran.
A light rain of less than one
inch last weeX broke a three
weeks drouth in Moran. Torren-
tial rains have fallen in some parts
of the country but very little has
reached this area. For the most
part the harvest is about over and
it is the first time many can re-
member that we did not have rain
during the harvesting season.
* * * *
Monday's rain sialled the 12:25
southbound bus between Albany
and Sedwick and help had to be
sent from Eastland to bring in the
passengers who were on the bus.
Moran needs some real rain clouds
to drift this way.

Where
he tylahageM
Cme 3rem ?
A DOZEN MEN operate turret lathes. A
dozen clerks stand behind hardware
counters. A dozen stevedores hoist dockyard
freight.
Sooner or later, one operator, clerk, steve-
dore is going to reach out and do the work
more competently than those alongside him.
This is a real beginning. But it is not
enough for a man who hopes to manage.
A manager must have demonstrated that
he can take orders, before he gives orders.
He must know how to impart information.
He must have character, courage, and the
ability to administer.
If he has all these, he is ready to go on
up. Some managers stay on the first, eighth,
tenth steps, and do an important job. They
are the foremen, superintendents, depart-
ment heads, buyers. Some still keep going.
The most farsighted and imaginative climb
to the top.
This constant movement of men upward
is one reason why American business has an
ever-fresh point of view. Someone is always
bringing a new idea on up with him.
Neither the men and women in industry
nor the money in industry can be effective
without good business-management. Noth-
ing else is so important to the workers' wel-
fare, the investors' welfare or the public
welfare.
