Honesty and Dependability

We have often said that the fundamentals of human success are ATTAINABLE to the man with a mind to think and a will to DO.

They are HONESTY, DEPENDABILITY, AMBITION, VISION, COURAGE, ENTHUSIASM, ENERGY, PUNCH, and STICKTOITIVENESS.

But it must be remembered that in this case, as in the Scriptural injunction-"The first shall be last, and the last shall be fi15f,"-fe1 beyond any question of doubt the one primal asset that a man MUST possess in the race for human success, and upon which, as a foundation, he must build ALL of his superstructure with the other characteristics mentioned, is HONESTY.

Lacking that first fundamental, the brightqr, the smarter, the more ambitious, the more energetic, the more enthusiastic, the more "punchful," the more courag'eous, the more "staying" quality he has-the more dangerous a member of society he shall be. There is no constructive place in the eternal scheme of things for the man who is not morally, mentally, physically, and eternally HONEST. The business world has learned that HONESTY is EVERYTHING. The most capable and vigorous and powerful personality on earth sinks below the level of mediocrity in the eye of thinking men, when we learn that his honesty is questionable.

To REALLY succeed, you've GOT to be straight.

And closely akin to DISHONESTY comes UNRELIABILITY. A man may not be downright DISHONEST; perhaps wouldn't take anything that belongbd to the other fellow under any circumstances; but if he is unreliable, undependable, then, in a business way, he is of little more value than the man who is light-fingered.

There is mighty little room in the eternal scheme of things for the man rvhom you can't put your "finger on'f all the time.

When you say of a man-"HE IS SQUARE and RELIABLE," you have said the two greatest things possible in his behalf.

Crew Safe After Ship Springs A Leak

The lumber steamer Port Orford, commanded by Captain Axelson and owned by the Gorman Lumber Company, San Francisco, is safe in drydock after an exciting experience. The ship southbound with a cargo of 1,100,000 feet of lumber from the Trans-Pacific Lumber Company's mill at Port Orford, Ore., radioed on the morning of August 29, when a short way south of Eureka, that she was leaking badly and needed immediate assistance. The U. S. srlrvey ship Guide and the steamer Lumberman went to her assistance, ready to take off the crew of 28 if necessary.

The crew manned the pumps and jettisoned about 300,000 feet of the cargo, while the ship was steered into Shelter Cove. The Port Orford left next day for San Francisco, being kept afloat by continuous pumping and arriving at her home port August 31. After unloading the ship rvas put in drydock. She will be ready for service about September 16.
