PAGE SIX THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1948 Oshawa Bargain Days Thursday, riday And Saturday 'All Nuts' Car Official Says of Race "We're All Nuts!" was the in- terest, provoking title of a meaty address delivered members of {the Oshawa Kiw Club at their weekly luncheon meeting on Tues- day, by guest speaker Howard B. Moore, General Manager of the Federation of Automobile Dealers Association, a former Oshawa resi- dent who now lives in Toronto. "The speaker was introduced to the gathering by Kiwanian Jim- mie Souch and the conclusion of his address, Mr. "Moore was ex- tended a sincere vote of apprecia- tion on behalf of the club by Ki- wanian Cliff Mills, At the outset of his interesting #alk, Howard Moore drew a dia- on a blackboard to lllustrate point, that "we're all nuts" and in humorous vein, described that the human race is divided by an invisible line representing the "'per- fect person"--of whch none exist, fortunately, "for you couldnt stand him," he said. On one side of the line, in graded groups, are those who are considered brilliant or ex- pert or even in the genius class, progressing in various degrees of brilllancy and superior mentality until you have passed the genius and inventor groups, who them- selves referred to as "grack pots" $0 the point it reached of a group who are so mentally advanced that they are recognized as unbalanced and are put away in an institution, On the other side, in similar grad- ings, are the groups who plod along, dong the same job every day, sometimes a skilled job but still the same job each day. Then you even- tually come to the group of men who are mentally incapable of do- ing anything except the dullest form of manual labor and finally the group which 48 s0 mentally a blank that they too have ot be "put away." "Most of us can be graded in one of the first two or three groups, on either side of the line," declared the speaker, "and in those groups, whether we are a lowly bookkeeper, shipping clerk, a doctor, an artist or an inventor, we are, or should be, making some useful contribution to soclety." Declaring that true happiness is the greatest endowment a man can get out of life, the speaker pointed out that industry today does not give enough attention to the type of job their workmen are doing. "If a person is working at a job that he doesn't like or doing some- thing for which he is not fitted, he can not be happy at his work. For eight hours a day he is in a mental prison, unhappy and feeling restricted. He cannot be a happy father and a good husband, if he is not happy and contented during his working hours, : Do Our Duty With Youth "Today in our youth, we have, a much earlier maturity, They are developing today much faster than in our time. It is only natural, when. we look at all the improve- ments that exist today. But are we as parents, letting these young folk grow up or are we keeping them pinned down or' hemmed In, by adopting the same standards of direction under which we grew up?" he asked. Stating that we, as a generation, are too lazy, we are content to sit beside our radio and let somebody else map out our program for us, the speaker declarde that "in this day and age, the contribution of ev- ery decent citizen must be made, if we hope to attain the standard we claim to be seeking." In everyday life, in our work and especially in industry, in factory or in office, we should study the likes and dislikes of people, more than we do, stated Mr, Moore, "We must give our own children and we must. try to give every man a chance to work where they will be happy. Continuing, he urged his listeners to steer young people away from work or even careers, in which they are mot going to be happy. "Strife in industry will be unnec- essary," he stated in conclusion, if we make sure that workers are happy at their jobs and do not have the feeling that they are in "pris- on" because they are working at a task for which they are not suit- ed or for which they have great dislike, 2 KILLED BY TRAIN Winnipeg, Jan. 28 -- (CP) = Two Winnipeg men were killed yerterday when the car in which they were riding collided with a Canadian National Railways main- line passenger train at a level crossing four miles east of nearby Transcona.
