They feel that its present name has some significance; inasmuch as it was the principal street at the time of the laying out of the village. They sug gest that the name Whitman be given to one of the new streets. * —». T e ll M e th e W o r s t By DR. B E R T HOLD A. BAER “ Do your best, but tell me the worst,’ ’ I heard Mr. Corcoran say to his employees. Not having been present at the beginning, I asked Mr. Corcoran for an explanation of this rather strange admonition. * “ The good we do,” said Mr. Corcoran, “ is gen erally accepted as the natural. If we excel, we are told so. What we want our employees to do is: tell the truth at all times. If a mistake has been made— and all men are human—we want to know of it; if a client expressed dissatisfaction, real or imaginary (and an imaginary complaint appears to the com plainant as important as a real one), we wish to hear about it. We want to know the worst, before our clients tell us of it. Quite often wrongs may be righted; mistakes—whether ours or not—may be corrected; deeds of mission or commission may be forestalled. This is “ Corcoran Service.” Service is the true basis of a successful organiza tion. To acknowledge a mistake means its correction and future elimination. It also proves a man’s strength of character. A funeral is composed of innumerable details. The value of Corcoran Service, like the service of all prominent Institutions, must be measured by the training, experience and ability of those who render it. These people, of proven record of accomplish ment, stand premier. The omission o f even a single detail would mar the excellent Corcoran Service, and “ Corcoran Service” means nigh “ perfection.” Day Phone 435.

Perkins, who is a speaker of National reputation, will be heard in Penn Yan, at the Dresden Community House, and at Keuka Col lege on Thursday and Friday, May 3 and 4. A* Georgia senator says of her: “Mrs. Perkins is a Wonderful woman, as a speaker she is graceful 1 and pleasing; her language eloquent , 1 logical and convincing, and she j made a impression for good that w ill. be felt for a long time.” — Thomas Carroll was taken suddenly | ill last Friday morning while at his work in the Michaels-Stern clothing factory. He was unconscious two hours, and Dr. Townsend, who at tended him, would not let him be removed to his home on Keuka street until 1 o’clock. He is resting com-j fortably now, but the doctor thinks it; will be some time before he will be I able to resume work. Mr. Carroll j never fully recovered from the effects j of his war experience. He was over seas in the World War.—Democrat. On Monday evening at the home of Miss Adealide Hazard the members of the Y’s and Other Y’s Club listened to a program on “ Modern Literature —Prose,” given by Mrs. George W. Taylor and Miss Marie Landon. A number of the worth-while books were discussed and also criticisms made of some of the modern fiction. The fact was brought out that there is a move ment on foot among some of the best thinkers of the country to boycott books which deal with immoral sub jects.
