(Q) Is the present physical condition as good as that found
before?
(A) In some respects as well; in others about the same; not
a great deal of difference in the present.
For the glandular swelling, - [carbuncle on neck?] melt or
liquefy the Mutton Tallow, then add an equal quantity of
Spirits of Turpentine and Spirits of Camphor, in the same
proportions and order named. If properly mixed, this
combination will almost solidify, and if used will be found
to be of real benefit. But an over quantity of either of
these makes for too much penetration of the other, and too
much elasticity in the other, you see. They should be in
equal proportions; say a tablespoonful of each (measuring the
Mutton Tallow melted, not in lump form). Mix in this manner
and we will have no disturbance.
(Q) Should the Adiron tablets be continued?
(A) Not until cold weather. With as much exercise in the
open, there is sufficient of the vitamins, as well as some of
the effect that is obtained in iron from the sun. Hence the
irritation and roughness at times to the superficial
circulation.
(Q) Has ample time lapsed and is my physical condition such
that other body blemishes may now be removed?
(A) With the same applications as indicated, these may also
be materially aided.
(Q) Is there any further advice for the health and well
being of my body?
(A) Well that there is sufficient exercise, especially in
water or in walking, and in the open, for the better general
health of the body.
(Q) Is a definite background being established as a result
of my study at the Raymond School?
(A) A definite background is being established.
(Q) Is there any specific advice that should be given me for
my guidance in this study?
(A) It is to keep, of course, or specialize in the fields of
activity in which the entity is desirous of the further or
greater advancement, in its relationships to its general
physical activity, as well as its daily actions or labors.
(Q) Is it advisable that I continue working with the Raymond
School or seek a tutor that will manifest a more receptive
attitude?
(A) It is advisable to continue for the time being, at
least.
(Q) Should any other subjects be reviewed?
(A) Those best in keeping with the general application of
self to the field of activity as indicated.
(Q) Are there other changes such as the abolishment of the
Divisional Offices at Omaha contemplated in 1940?
(A) If so, it is not indicated as we find from any channels
here. However, this may be a part of the general development
for the unification of the service of all of the
organizations under the activity of the A.T. & T.
(Q) Will the Atlanta and Dallas Divisional offices be
consolidated in 1941?
(A) This will depend upon other activities that will be of
a more general or more national nature.
(Q) Is this the part of the whole plan to amalgamate and
unify the communication systems?
(A) This, as indicated heretofore, is a part of a general
plan, when this may be carried out.
(Q) When will a definite outline of this plan be available?
(A) This again will depend upon circumstances.
(Q) Will this consolidation include the telephone and radio
companies?
(A) If it is possible for it to be accomplished under the
one head, it will.
(Q) May an increase in the current value of both Western
Union and I.T. & T. stocks be expected?
(A) This as we find after October may be expected.
(Q) Is it planned to segregate plant accounting work in
Chicago and New York for the entire United States?
(A) It's FROM the entire United States, or from the rest of
the activities, yes.
(Q) Will this materialize in 1941?
(A) Rather in 1943.
(Q) You will now review my present status, working
conditions and surroundings, advising if my attitude,
personal conduct and performance has been satisfactory.
(A) This not to be judged from here. As we have indicated,
the entity should set a standard and attempt in all of its
dealings and activities to live up to it, in so far as the
qualifications or the abilities allow the entity to do so.
(Q) Are the policies being adhered to and entanglements
avoided?
(A) These are very good save in some specific quarters where
there have been some animosities. These as we find are being
obliterated to a great extent, but will require some time as
yet.
(Q) Why do I continue to encounter local aggravating
conditions? How may these be overcome?
(A) As indicated from the very beginning, these might be
expected; and arise as we find from the specific resentment
of individuals who feel that there are conditions which might
have been changed if there had been the adherence to
suggestions they had made. Within the self, as we find, the
entity is to live, to act, to conduct self in such a way as
to conform to that ideal activity which the entity sets in
regard to the field of service in which the entity finds self
at the present time.
(Q) Is a definite foundation being prepared for present and
future activity and advancement in the accounting department?
(A) For present and future advancement - this will depend
very much upon general circumstances, organizations and
classifications that are to be determined as the various
combinations or departments are made, in the various fields
of activity in which the entity has been engaged. But as for
the entity's activities, these as a whole or in general are
in correct line.
(Q) Is there a likelihood that I will be transferred back to
the plant department?
(A) This may be. This depends upon SO MANY circumstances,
that it would make it rather inadvisable to say yes or no.
Either might be correct.
(Q) Will you advise why I have not made greater progress in
my service with the Western Union and what qualifications I
lack that will enable me to be of greater service to the
company and my associates?
(A) As indicated, the personal animosities of individuals.
To be sure, this should not be, - but personalities exist,
and such conditions are a part of the experience of every
individual. These should be met in ways and manners that
are in keeping with that the individual sets as an ideal
relationship between the employer and employee.
(Q) Is it evident that the present division plant
superintendent will not retire when he reaches the age limit
in 1941?
(A) He will retire before the completion of '41, but not by
general retirement.
(Q) Regarding estate matters in Chicago, is satisfactory
progress being made in working out detail for loan to clear
up taxes?
(A) This is very satisfactory regarding the property and the
manner in which there may be the loans for same, for the
carrying on of the obligations as related to same.
(Q) Is there a reason or condition that will not permit
attorney removing estates of my mother and brother from
probate this October as planned?
(A) Not as we find.
(Q) Will the McFarland bequest be disposed of on the basis
of my compromise offer?
(A) There will be other compromises asked for or sought
before it is finally settled.
(Q) What plan shall I pursue in the sale of property at 2314
West Jackson Blvd., Chicago?
(A) As we find, it has not changed since that as indicated
heretofore.
(Q) Is the present tenant financially capable of handling?
(A) He is.
(Q) With the defense program gaining momentum, world
conditions growing worse, is not the entrance of the United
States into this war inevitable?
(A) This has nothing to do with the man's conditions here.
These as we find are rather as national interests, and are
more or less of a passive interest here.
We do not find it NECESSARILY so that there will be the
entrance into the war directly; there already is indirectly.
(Q) Will the third term aspirations of the President be
accepted by the commonwealth? And will he serve out a third
term if elected?
(A) This has nothing to do with the seeking here.
We are through for the present.
