SATURDAY, APRIL 11th, 1981 THE PSYCHOLOGICAL MOMENT A temporary shack can be thrown to- ther anyhow and anywhere, but when a an sets. out to put up a skyscraper he inks his foundations down to bed rock. The aller the structure is to be and the longer its life expectancy, the more important it is "that its framework should be fastened fast to something substantial and permanent. In a sense, the same principle applies to the building of a community. The enter- | prises that are floated on a wave of hot air, pn a flurry of fictitious values, are seldom able to stand the shock when fictions shake © down to facts and the wave flattens into the doldrums of business depression. On all sides one finds encouraging evid- | ence that business scraped the bottom along * about the first of this year and that the up- turn has commenced. 4 Now is the time of all others when the "alert business man and the progressive com- | munity can best build for the future. Prices gare down. There is available plenty of com- * petent labor, so eager for employment that "it will give a generous dollar's worth for ~ every wage dollar, These are bargain days * for actual construction of new buildings, the | widening of streets, the erection of needed | bridges, the equipment of parks and play- ~ grounds and all the physical improvements ~ that make for community progress. moment" for sizing up the community situa- tion and making plans for the future.

The community that starts now to build ~ for the future, exercising that canny com- ff bination of courage and caution which re- * gent months have taught us, will find itself . well in the lead when the rest of the world * wakes up to the fact that the business cloud § is thinned out and the silver lining is shin- ing. ; RESOLUTIONS i) It is, probable that nothing is more thor- "oughly hated by the heads of Governments "in Canada than resolutions sent to them by various organizations seeking either to fos- ter some movement in which they are par- ticularly interested or to obstruct, by im- plied threat, some legislative enactment ~ which they oppose. "The weakness of resolutions lie in their innate 'selfishness. A year ago, most ap- tly 'in response to public clamor, Rt. , W.'L.'M. King, then prime minister of © Canada, fostered legislation banning export clearances on liquor cargoes designed for de- livery 'in the United States. A year later, despite the clamor and the ! t's bowing to the storm, Mr. . finds himself reduced to the post of leader of the Opposition. It is altogether : ble that, in his secret mind, Mr. King the beginning of the end for his Gov- ent to hat legislation. hat is to say, made enemies no friends. This is not intended as disparagement of resolutions, but, rather, to point out that unless those who frame resolutions to parti- n Governments are ready to back them with grateful support if approved, or h certain and effective opposition if ; the whole business of framing ng resolutions anywhere is rather slutions should be and can be, if the 1 as well as the moral oppor- ity 'is recognized, democray's most ve between-elections referendums.

NEW DRIVERS ARE SAFER asked to express an opinion off hand, persons would say that new drivers of omobiles would cause more accie than experienced ones. But this idea | wrong, according to a prominent Unit- States motor car official, who has been ting #4 mation-wide study of the reasons This is the well known "psychological for the growing number of traffic accidents. He claims that the new driver, ing his own inexperience, is careful than the veteran motorist, who Is over-cons fident of his driving ability and too accus- tomed to take chances. He further says: "Another way in which the veteran driver is more careless than the neophyte is in the upkeep of his car. To the new owner every squeak, rattle, and sputter is something to worry over and have fixed immediately. The 'old-timer lets the body finish become dulled through lack of washing, he neglects lubri- cation, and he 'allows his brakes to become dangerously worn and out of adjustment, feeling that his driving skill will offset the need for adjustment and relining. Hence, more accidents. ' In fact, a vast majority of the country's motoring mishaps are caused by drivers of long experience." There appears to be some sound reasoning in the above statements. At least they should give the supposedly expert driver something to think about. EDITORIAL NOTES "We can only be hopeful and hope for the best."--John D. Rockefeller.

(Minneapolis Journal) How will the present age be known to posterity ? There is reason for suspecting that it will not be recorded as the age of the radio primarily, nor as the age of the automobile, nor as the period of the second industrial revolution. The belief is warranted that our age will be known as the period of recon- struction after the greatest war in history. Boast as we may about achievements, the World War set the problems of the present period and placed its stigmata upon our time. It marked the close of one epoch and the beginning of another, Our lives are set against a background of large scale reconstruc- BITS OF HUMOR Chicago Wife--John, what made you jump so?

WLAUGHLIN SAYS CONDITIONS ARE NOW BETTER (Continued from page 1) available to its dealers organization. "The aim of General Motors of 'Can- ada is to develop its dealers until they are the leading merchants of their localities, solely with the idea of making the dealers successful, With- out successful dealers our business must fail, and dealers must make money to continue in business. The old idea of the big stick is gone for ever, and our ideal must' be service from the dealer to the customer, and service from the company to the dealers," he said, In order to make the ideas of co- operation more effective, it had been necessary to change the wohle or- ganization of the company and divide the salcs and service activities into cight zones across Canada. The com- pany had spared no expense to make the zone offices efficient, and the re- sults of the closer co-oneration es- tablished had been wonderful, said Mr. McLaughlin, quoting the facts that sales of new cars had increased this year over 1930, and that at the same time the number of used cars in dealers' stocks had decreased in number by 13 percent, which repre- sented $800,000 less of an investment carried by dealers in new car stocks. Business is on Upturn "I am not going to talk pessimism, because mistakes of the past should only be a guide for the future. Neither will I talk breezy optimism, because we must face the facts of business conditions as they are. But I do say in all sincerity that I be- lieve that business is turning the corner towards the better," said Mr. Herring in opening his address. 'In support of his statement, Mr. Herring said that, at a conference he attended in Detroit this week, every division of the General Motors cor- oration had reported that sales in arch exceeded the forecast for that month. April and May were also expected to exceed the original fore- cast, which was based on last year's business. "W have confidence in 1931 and believe that it will be as good as last year and perhaps better," Mr, Herring said. This --car, however, will be a high- ly competitive year. The reward, the speaker said, will go to the man who has good merchandise, priced right, that has captured the imagination of the buying public, and who will go out to sell his goods without fearful- ness. Lhere was never a time when Gen-) eral Motors was offering such an at- tractive line of motor cars, said Mr. Herring. In this connection, he an- swered some criticism regarding the adoptionof a six-cylinder engine for the Chevrolet. "The four«cylinder car tely Jaased the peak of its popu in 1929, as is proved by the registrati today. . This is further proved by the large number of four- cylinder cars that are being turned in on the purchase of six-cylinder models, for the oublic has learned that it cannot get smooth perform- ance with less six-cylinders," he G. M, C. Cars Dominate For the first time in history a six- cylinder car was the buy- ing field, said Mr. During the first three months of this year, 2]. percent of all cars sold in the province of Ontario were Chevrolets, while its nearest competitor in vol- ume 23 percent, 'T'welve percent of all cars sold were Pontiacs, while in its price s sold only four percent.

The Canadians have nearly completed their two- year survey, and now the nurses in England have started a similar pro- ject, How to reconcile the two prob- lems? One, that the cost of sick. ness, which includes the fees of the trained nurse, is prohibitive for the majority; the other, that the nurse at six dollars a day cannot work more than 76 per cent. of the time and thus her earnings in the best of years cannot be more than $1,- 660. Even if she has the constitu. tion of a horse and the best luck in the world in securing employment, she must expect 'to have three months in the year, in odd times, when she is not earning anything, What about her when she gets to the age when she can no longer support not only herself but some dependent relative as well? It may be that the Canadian sur- vey will provide the nurses with a solution of the problem--and it cannot be solved unless it meets the needs of the public as well--that has not yet been visualized. Some schemes have been thought of. One would be to extend public health nursing services even further than has been possible under present con. ditions. Ancther would be a sys- tem of hourly nursing for the pri. vate nurse, by which she could visit a list of patients just as the doctor does. charge less to each patient and yet make more money. The nurse cannot know just what her earnings will be unless she hag a hospital position. Her profession is a game of chance, in which she is never winner, nearly always loser, and rarely breaks even. But she does not blame anyone for this. She hopes that the survey will show her wherein her own weakness fis, wherein she fails to serve the Can- adian public, how ghe may do so-- and that it will at the same time show the Canadian public what is its duty to her. The survey is expected to decide whether 'a change in the training system is advisable. Nurses now receive their three-year training through daily work in a hospital plus classroom instruction. Com- pared with the student nurse, the day laborer working elght hours a day is almost a pampered idler, for her day is 12 hours long as a rule. There 'are university schools of nursing in some countries, giving a five-year course, the hospitals at which the student nurse gets her experience being affiliated with the university. The graduate gains the degreo of Bachelor of Sclence in Nursing. TALLEST MANNEQUIN A HIT Miss Joan Sasselle, the world's tall- est mannequin, recently an~eared in a London style parade, and created a sensation. She is six tall and weighs only 122 pounds, so that her demonstration of the slim, willowy figure was the envv of the short and the stout. She buys ab- normally long coats and wears them as three-quarter length garments. All other clothes must be made to order. Miss Sasselle is 20, and does not enjoy being so tall, esnecial'v when boys on thc street call her "Carnera" she says. FOOTBALL IN EL SALVADOR American football recently was in- augurated in El Salvador when a team from that country defeated one from Guatemala by a score of 13 to 6. The crowd was highly enthusiastic over the contest and cheered the fav- orites with a true American rooters' vigor. lach team was composed of natives with one exception, most of the members having received football training in the United States.

About a dozen men who sat in three groups taking no part in the service, remained stand- ing, and one man shouted: "I would like to know if this is a Church of England? I protest against this illeg- al service." Church officials escorted the men from the church, and an al- tercation followed outside, but even tually the service was continued. ing Jeviod of last year, and the stocks on hand were 493 less than in this period, of 1930, which represent- ed a drop of 13 percent, The objective of. General Motors, Re said, was to try to help the dealer to show a profit for his year's busi- ness, for "a Sealer that is not Joake ing money is a er Sina or General Motors." About eo mid- dle of last year, when almost every other organziation was contracting its selling force, General Motors of - ada was spending an extra quarter of a million dollars to improve its sell ing organization, 'General Motors dealers are in a good position, and with good dealer management and service, I think that 1931 will be a good year, and the minning "© ~+ * ~-¢ five years of peri'~ in the automobile selling 2 said Mr, Herring.

Douglas Cox, London insurance broker and head of the firm of that name, is an authority on insurance against twins, popularly supposed to be a sore of "freak bet" arrange- ment. Cox takes the view that his policy is one of the most logical, from an insurance man's point of view. For five pounds (about $25). premium, paid six months prior to the expectant birth, a policy is is. suable paying 100 pounds (about $500) in the event twins are born. Both children must live 24 hours under the provision of the policy. Some rates, depending upon the frequency of twins in the ancestors of the prospective parents, might be quoted at $156 premium for the $6500 policy, or multiples thereof. Freak bets, often reported as having been placed through Lloyd's, Cox says, are generally but rumors, for the inspection bureau of the world's largest insurance organiza- tions frowns on such policies and discourages their issuance, Lloyd's does not write any insur. ance but only brings together the brokers and those desiring insur- ance, Lloyd's business during the last three centuries has been prin. cipally marine, but of late other forms of insurance are bulking lar- ger in the annual turnover. Lloyd's, whose principal marine business now is mainly distributing information concerning ships, ship- ping and skippers was started in the late 17th century by Edward Lloyd who ran a coffee house where mar- iners gathered to spin their yarns. Originally the old-timers came to Lloyd's to meet their pals and to swap information concerning trade routes and conditions in general. Sensing a demand for the service, Lloyds first put up a blackboard where Interesting items were writ. ton. Then he established his Lloyd's Shipping News, probably the second oldest paper in England, which has been superseded by the gigantic Lloyd's Register contain- ing the records of thousands of ships and a daily bulletin, Probably the hardest blow that hit Lloyd's members was the San Francisca, earthquake, while the sinking of the palatial Titanic also caused a heavy loss. Through Lloyd's you can be assured against an Increase in the budget, death in the royal family, rain, snow, sleet, hail, tornadoes and other unusual oceurrences--including twins. POET SNACKED NOVELIST'S FACE Sinclair Lewis Was Not First to be Slapped New York.----Sinclalr Lewis was- n't the first man of letters to get slapped by another M. of L. In the good old days of Queen Victoria Algernon Charles Swinburne laid a lusty right-cross on George Mere- dith's cheek. A new volume "As We Were", by E. F. Benson recites the circum- stances. For two years the poet and novel- ist lived together. Swinburne made noises when he drank his tea," and "danced around the stu- dio like a wildcat." This was not calculated to please the dignified Meredith, The novelist remarked: "I certainly would have kicked Al- gernon Charles downstairs had 1 not foreseen what a clatter he would have made bouncing from step to step." The two separated, but some time later were reconciled by friends. Meredith was in temporary charge of the Fortnightly Review. The moment of climax came after Swin- burne asked Meredith why the Re- view had paid him only 100 pounds for his latest poem, "Why, Swinburne," dith, pleasantly emough, all they pay me." This was too much for Algernon Charles, and he thereupon slyapped Meredith in the face, Sinclair Lewis' face was slapped recently by .Theodore Dreiser fol lowing a dispute at a dinner.
