| = 4 mebiNa Journar-recister TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1972 ‘ Jéfferson’s Judgmenf Stands Washington: 'Wise and Great' By DON GRAFF \Treacherous in private friendship and a hypocrite in public life\ was the verdict of one eminent American. Thomas Paine, pamphleteer and pa- triot, was delivering what he probably sin- cerely believed to be final judgment on ~- George Washington. That the first chief executive was the target -of scathing attack in his own time is a fact of American history largely for- gotten by all but historians. But fact none- theless. Political hatchetmen of any time would be hard put to match the abuse cliea‘gged‘ upon the least political of presi- ents. * | Washington himself, writing in the last year of his presidency to Thomas Jeffer- son, complained that the partisan press referred to him in \such exaggerated and indecent terms as could searcely be ap- plied to a Nero, a notorious defaulter, or even a common pickpocket.\ : Yet the Washington reputation not only survived, it has grown through the years. While the debunking school of historians has been industriously cutting down to size other greats of America's early years, récognition of Washington's indispensable contributions to the fledgling nation has become clearer, respect greater. ° -; Why? He certainly lacked the intellec- tual brilliance of Jefferson, the political and economic genius of Hamilton. He was not a great speaker or writer, not one to __ fire men with his words. He would be con- . sidered dull, unimaginative today.

It is simply that because without Wash- ington there would have been no country, no subsequent presidents. At the end of the Revolution, whatever discipline and unity had been forged by the war utterly collapsed. Political confu- sion, economic chaos, even armed rebel- lion followed victory. Washington, who had been the indis- pensable general in winning independence in war, was now to be the indispensible civilian in securing that independence in peace-both as a prime mover of the Con- stitutional Convention that established the framework of the new nation and as its first pregident. ' Washington, the military hero enjoying the gratitude of his countrymen, knew he had far more to lose than to gain by enter- ing the political arena. Yet no ideal moved him so deeply as national unity. And by accepting the chal- lenge, with the calumny that inevitably followed, he, more than anyone else, main- tained unity during the crucial early years, doing so by sheer force of person and character. ' The service to the nation of the man who always thought of himself as presi- dent of all the people, who was president of the entire United States as none to fol- low could: hope to be, cannot be debunked. Jefferson, not Paine, delivered the judg- ment that was to be history's. \He was, in every sense of the words, a wise, a good and a great man.\ (NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.) %s \a \0 tane teeta: O....Q..-...,.... 920,809 Q. ..‘ ‘Q'l’....fi...‘.‘\.fl.‘. * a a a aa applying to a ta ane 00%0%0\a%a\a%a\s job-finding _ Looking For A Job? ' Remember The 'Don'ts' _ Business Today By LEROY POPE _ _|_ UPI Business Writer NEW YORK (UPI)-In look- ing for a good job, the \don'ts\ are more important than the \do's the author of a new book on the subject said today. . , Richard A. Payne of Prince- ton, N.J., is the author of \How to Get a Better Job Quicker\ (Taplinger, New York $5.95) and also conducts classes in various cities on sophisticated job hunting. He enrolls around 20 persons in a class and charges them $60 to $75 for services for which he says some-career counsellors ask as much as $3,000. Since resumes are the obligatory way of finding a job opening in most businesses, Payne says a good resume is equally obligatory and right there is where the don'ts become vitally important.: Here are the don'ts he lists- > -Don't attach a photo to your resume.

Now we get nervous because Americans seem to be losing faith in their own destiny.\ > The statement is by Peter Petersen, a member of the West German Parliament, who admits to being preju- diced about America. { 'America saved his people from starvation not so very long ago, he recalls in the New York Times. Thousands of American soldiers-250,000 to be exact- are stationed in his country, and because of this commitment his coun- try is still free. ‘ 'Half of it, that is. The other half, with a population of 17? million, is locked up behind barbed wire, walls and mine fields-\behind what amounts to the ugliest and most inhuman border of the world.\ Some 400 East Germans have been killed because they wanted to go from one part of their country to another. *~ The American commitment to freedom and the price Americans are paying for it every day, says Petersen, saves West Germans from the fate of their neighbors who are the victims of imperialism. 'That is why it disturbs him to hear American students talk about \American imperialism,\ or on a visit here to see only headlines about a prison riot somewhere or the dope problem in cities or to be warned not to walk back to his hotel after dark. 2 L Americans are probably the world's best salesnien of material goods, he says, but they are inept at selling ideas. And the ideas are still there-the forces that made America a great country and inspired a dream to peoples all \around the world. ~ - ‘ It is a dream not of two cars in every garage but of freedom as conceived in this country in 1776. It is not “American,” freedom in a national sense, but is the basis of human dignity everywhere. . We now have a crisis in the Free World, says Petersen, because Americans appéar to be shrinking back from the responsibility that goes with being the strongest power in the world. The Soviets don't have such qualms, and that is why they fill every vacuum America and its allies are leaving. ~ . \ £ America's heritage of freedom is the hope of the world. Petersen states bluntly, in words reminiscent of those of an American president more than a century ago. _ *'I ieve it is the only hope we have, because if America fails, the world fails.\ =& A Point for the 'Be6rds ' The wonder is not that so many men are sporting beards these days but that men have ever taken the trouble of shaving, especially back in the dark ages before stainless steel blades or electric razors or scented, medicated shav- ing creams. foo _L \ (« ''The man who grows a beard because he considers shaving a waste of time has a valid point,\ says Dr. Her- bert Mescon, professor and chairman of the Dep tment of Dermatology at Boston University School of M dicine. In his 55 or so years of shaving, the average man will spend roughly 3,350 hours, or 139 days, looking at If; puss in'the mirror while hewing his daily growth of about 0.17 of an inch of hair (roughly % inch a month). Pog But be thankful you don't live in Polynesia, says Mes- con. Men there still remove their whiskers with pieces of seashells or sharks' teeth that have been ground to a fine edge. - _ .

Keep 'em guessing about that as long as you can. -Don't list your references. It may subject them - to annoyance. Also it's better to pinpoint references for a specific job after you get a nibble. _-Don't list all your previous jobs and everything you can do. Focus On One Goal -Don't give your age. -If you're black or belong to some other minority, don't mention the fact in the resume. -Don't include much person- al data in a resume for general mailing. The do's, Payne said, are simple: Concentrate om a single stated job objective and devote 40 per cent of the rest of the resume to your present job and your achievements in it. Lead From Strength In other words, lead from ' your strengths. Don't mention any possible weaknesses and regard everything else as only marginally relevant. Your ob- ject is 'to stir any employer's curiosity. Once that's accom- plished, the tactics to nail down the job can be executed. Payne's book is a detailed exposition of steps to take after the resume has brought in replies. The first command- ment in this part of the game is ~ always try for a salary boost over that of your present or last job of at least 20 to 25 per cent. Payne has had an interesting career. A native of Manhasset, N.Y., he is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Princeton, where he earned most of his expenses drawing and selling cartoons. He went through Harvard Business School on two scholar- ships provided by the Baker Foundation and the Harvard Business Club of New York. He has set up two careers simultaneously. In addition to career counselling, he is a packaging expert and brand manager and has worked for or numbered as clients in this field such firms as Internation- al Paper, Cheseborough-Pond, and Johnson & Johnson and such advertising agencies as J. Walter Thompson and Ogilvy & Mather. f Welsh Addresses Moose Women on Inhalation Therapy Women of the Moose business meeting for February was held last Tuesday evening.
