ON GETTING, A JOB Th'edifficulties which boys and girls emerging from high school or college are now experienc- ing in finding a place ini the economnic system are being widely discussed. In this connection youtfl cani usetrie sm e.et ru pi the doors o! opportunity. -To get a wedge job, develop an' accessory skill," Pitkin counsels young men anld worwen, explaining that higli competence in a low field is necessary first o! ail. "Seek work that brings you into close contact with some man at or near the top. Thre work must be, humnble.

Imagination had bumnped into, reality. Wooll- cott 'was discovered: to be- a man-aàctually human. The, same softly mhoduiated. voice, the sameý pure English, the same perfect diction that once enchanted as theycamne. over1 the ether waves, were present. -But the idealized picture of Woollcott was shattered. *As was expected, Woollcott spun yarns-weird, eerie, creepy, shivery, spirie-tingling tales, re- dolent of musty sheets, gruesome visions, gut- teral vo ,ices and ghostly fIgure-tales tlrnt were no doubt imperfectly retold in the darkened rooms of many North Shore' homes at the witch- ing hour of midnight, when the annual Haliow- e'en celebration was at its height. We thinkhis address, "Folklore," is mistitled. It might more appropriately be "Folklies," for even Woollcott refrained from vouchlng for their truth. The nearest approach was the expression of his belief that sornewhere, at some time, they had a basis of fact. But anyway, they were Woollcott stories, told ini the inimitable Woolicott style that captures and holds an audience as can' no other. We do not know how generous a soul Wooiicott may be, but if lie did not share the check with the. clever lady (Mrs. By'ers Wilcox) who in- troduced him, he is an ingrate. Minute for min- ute of taiking time she drew as matiy lauglis as lie, the whie she did an excellent piece of, work. Example: After recounting Woolcott' s' career frorn age 27 (averring that he did not seemn to have been born until he was 27), she 1concluded:. "But none of these things are of conséquence. There are only two things about Woollcott that are important. First, he was born. Second, he is herè." And then she walked off the platform., "Radio Star's Secret Husband Shot," read a Monday headliine,, and- Mvr. X., is suspected. Thre plot sounds famiiar. THÉ PWAITOM REPORTIER.
