THURSDAY, DECEJMR4, 194'. PAGE TOUiRTMt THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOYWMANVILL, ONTAIO PONTYPOOL Nat ane rural correspondent o! The "Statesman" mentianed the Royal wedding last week. So, on behaif ai ail the ."hiclf" writers, we will seize this opportunity o! .wlshing the best oi luck ta Lizzie and Phil. -We kind ai anticipated OldMan Winter breathing gently dawn aur neck, but darned if we like hlm dumping 10 inches of snow inside aur shirt collar, without warning, but we'll get used to it, (wé hope). -Trucks and men have been busy recently, cutting, hauling and loading,5,000 Christmas trees into large U.S.A. freight cars, for ship-' ment to Detroit, the place where they reaiiy appreciate the Scotch Pine M~ a Christmas tree. We nev- er knew how many trees went in- to a car before, but, accarding ta size the average freight cýr vili hoid 1,000. Some folks say these trees shouid flot be cut, we would like to point out that these particular 5,000 were grown an extremely poor,' soul, the owner of thern did nat plant just Scotch Pine, but IWhite, Jack and Red, so that there is plenty of forest lef t. We think, when a person plants Scotch Pines for Christmas trees purposes, he shouid agree to leave at least 350 LOW FAR U.

In that way, a forest is being preserved for pas- terity and the present generatian can get samething out ai the pro- ject toa, ta help pay land and pianting casts, etc. Scotch pines dan't lose their needies when cut.' Most Highway signs at the ap-1 proach ta towns give the name of the town, foilowed by the caution, "Drive Carefuily," but at the nor-j thern approach ta Orona, the sign reads, "Orona," and underneath, "Newcastle, 4 miles." What does that mean? That it is nat neces- sary ta drive carefully in Orono? That this is Orona, but 4 miles1 further on is a better town? Or is it 'a reminder ta the thirsty folks fromn Manvers Townships that they only have 4 miles further ta go where they can siake their thirst? Fred Youngman and bis buddy, Sheidon Ewing, arrived on Nov. 26 frorn Deiburne, Alberta. They went by car ta Sheidon's home in Minnesota, thence by bus ta Tor- onto, and fram Toronto ta Ponty- pool by train. Fred left bis ma- tor-bike at Deiburne and he says he's going back there next spring. Did you leave a girl there toa, Fred? Fred says his brother Gardon, is a regular bridgeman with the B. and B. gang on the C.N.R., working out af Calgary. Steve Nimigon is stili serving beer in the Deiburne Hotel. Have a tal one for us, Steve! The city cbap near bere that de- cided ta put a milking machine and radio in the éaw barn got quite a joit when the wires gat mixed, and instead o! the milker doing it's job, music came !rom it whiist some one was iustîly sing- ing "I'm doing wbat cames natur- aily." The cow looked startied too. Motor cars are nice, but we stîli like ta see a snappy team on a sieigh and bear belis musicaliy jingling on the frosty air.

PLAI WAS H DAY TO ELECTRICITYI 9 Neyer before in their history have Ontaro's industres and farms been producing at such a high level. More electricity is needed ta serve them. WiIi you help? On washdaày, for instance, it is easy ta save electriW. Soak clothes et least 15 minutes before you tumn on the machine, to reduce washing time. Use only enough warm water ta fil tub ta water line. Do not ;operate longer than necessaryi If water ks heated by electricity, use warm water in flrt rinse only. Watcb the electric iran and other appliances. Tumn themn 'OFF' when not in use. Save electricity in every way you can. Back Io the Dow and Arrow Or Forging Ahead in Reverse (Continued from Page Thirteen)1 Reading Course The persanal insuit and how ta give it.

Ac- ordingly Wilbur purchased a nonumental work entitled "How o Win Friends and Influence Peo- ple" by Dale Carnegie. He siav- ishiy dedicated himself ta the "Go- Getters Bible", chapter and verse .--Soon be was a living epîtame of its doctrine --a doctrine wbich in part lays down something like the foilowing: If you want enernies then try o excel your friends. But if you want friends let your friends excel you. Encourage others ta talk about tbemselves. Based on the discavery that a dog's mouth waters wben he hears the dishes rattie it bas been es- tablished that a man is vulnerabie in degree as you imprerss im witb his own importance. Remember that next ta "The drinks are on the bouse" -- a man 's own narne is the mast important work in the English language. Every successfuil salesman must, understand bow ta band out wbîm-wham--in other words fiat- tery. Aiter flatter is laid on with a steam shovel search for an out- let for sympathy --- :Tbree;fourths a!f the people yau meet to-mor- row will be bungerîng and thirst- ing for sympatby -- Give it ta tbem and they will love you ---Pile it on and they will love yau more. Greater Success No use praionging this story-- From Ornaha Wilbur went ta Tex- as wbere be quickly got a job seli- ing bean slcers ta ýthe Indians. The Indians didn't need bean siicers any more than they needed "Have a drink", repeated the sec- ond tirne. But bis task was ta convince them that they did, and he convinced them. Fuifilling the prophesy o! the Carnegie School, he deveioped in- ta a miracle worker and impress- ed bis employers by the tonnage a! his triurnpbs-- with women (no matter bow richly endowed with the preciaus gi!t o! sales resis- tance), be 'broke tbemn down. In the LOVE-AT-FIRST-SIGHT DEP'T be was wonderîng if be wo»ald ever meet a girl wbo ai- ready bad a fur coat and her appendix out ---Weli, Sir ---on bis 23rd birtbday a girl gave bim a book entitled "The Hound that Sniffs a Doubtful Tree". He was sa) pleased with this subtie chai- lenge ---- e married ber. This daring experirnent didn't even slow hlm down. Succers caused bim ta take another deep fali upwards. He and bis wife shouid build a borne in Forest Hill. Sa now.-intoxicatingly close to, greatness --- tbey buiid a bouse with a fireplace big enough tc roast an ax, and Wilbur wore nothing but silk against the flesh. Too Much Wealth At forty be is District Sales Manager (9f the Whirlwind Va- cuumn Cleaner Ca.- and succeeding far beyond bis hopes and'drearns People seemed ta buy from birr na matter wbat be did. Ever wben be ruined a rug with the special soap atornizer attacbment they didn't seem ta mi. He reaped a harvest a! neyer ending invitations wbich taok up sa much a! bis time tbat bis dog 'bit buT when he showed up at borne. His wife's relatives just loved hiE 7athroorn. Friends corning ta tawr used bis spare bed. Friends ieaving to'Wn used it. His bome bad all the privacy o! a drug store wi ndow. 1 His incarne sky-rocketed in spite of all be cauld do ta prevent it, He bated rnaking out incorne ta> returns -- He bated the bother of 'buying a new car - new suits--new furniture. At tirnes be grew sc discouraged he would carne homei in the middle a! the afternoon - throw bimsel! on the bed anc weep like a wornan. He wantec ta earn 2500 a year and bere bi was earning 25000 -- It was beart breaking. Reverse Philosophy Then one day, at the Philadel- phia Executive Club, Wilbur met ing. Reading implies the use of the reflective faculty.-and very few comparatively have this facuity developed. You say look at the thousanda who buy the READERS DIGESTHave you ever thought that READERS DIGEST VERY LITTLE? Central Lesson enough for you to say SQ WHAT? I have tried, perhaps two bundred times to go from here.-but each time the ink dries on the pen. I know the answer as I arn sure you do ---but I amn unable ta state At. The best I can do is ta say that we shouid make CHARACTER the dominant thing in education. Emerson said that character ranks above Intellect. Don't you think it ranks above everything? Isn't it the priceiess ingredient of bu- man nature? Education without character bas led ta the develap- ment of some of the most danger- oue criminals and scoundrels in ail history. If ail the people in the world did the few simple things they should know they ought ta do.---most of aur big probiems would take care of themselves. Returning ta aur discussion of, Universai Literacy: Primitive people have sensitive instincts ---rhey h'ave gaod mem- orles-One reason being that they knaw less therefore have less to remember. The more a persan reads the less he is llkeiy ta re- memberA few paragraphs re- membered are worth volumes fargatten. Someone asked the late Gilbert Chestertson "If yau were stranded an a desert isiand and had ta choose oniy one book--what book wouid you take?" He said "A text book an how ta buiid boats." That appears practical enough-He wauld be virtualiy back ta the Indians. What should a persan read for character building? Wasn't it Ben- jamin Disraeli who raid something like this: "He who hasn't famil- iarized bimsel! with the best thougbts o! the finest writers will ane day be mortified ta discover that bis best thoughts were their indifferent anes. If I were asked ta recommend (and I don't tbink I have ever been asked) a very limited library ta guide a man in bappy and peaceful living it would be this: (a) A few selected books a! the Bible.-- notable JOB-PROVERBS _ECCLESIASTES-.MICAH--THE GOSPELS. (b) Bartlett's farniliar Quota- tions. (c) The letters a! Benjamin. 1 1 NOW ---back ta Wiibur. Im- rnediately be got bis dipioma be1 began making progrers towards oblivion. As the weeks went byi be learned ta talk as fiuentiy as though be bad just tripped averS a chair in the dark. Hie couid tell a persan i. a few words where ta go. Quarreliing was the only exer- cisc be took. He last bis fear a! individuas Indeed tbey feared birn. His in- carne stopped sky-rocketing --and by the iaw a! dîrninisbing returns ---airost disappeared. O! course they last the big bouse and moved in with rame people who had a place so difficuit ta reach -- impassible ta direct people to---and ra rernote that even the radio broadcast could bardly make it. Once a year an unidenti!ied moving van xyent out and icit ai supply a! newspapers, vegetables and Kleenex. Sa bis was the marvellous tri- umph. Wilbur no longer was mak- ing 25,000 a year. He is on relie! and be is happy. 1-is story is sornetbing like the boy who was gaing ta play several roles in a drarna put on at bis school.- It was a sort a! saga o! lufe in Canada. "In the first act" he says ta bis mather 1I arn an Indian, and in the second act I amn captain o! industry (E. .P. Taylor)." Then bis mother raid, "Aren't you anytbing in the third act?" and ber son said "Oh! yes in the thîrd act I'm an Indian again."

(d) Albert Wiggani's uplendid treatise."The Marks of an Educat- edMan". What would be the object of this iilted llbrary? To incul- cate instructions for character. The foremost task in any com- munity or nation is the develop- ment af character in its people.-.. character is more important thaft formai education. If the church ver stages ýa come-back, it wirbe in answer ta the need ai an organization ta save man-kind from the depre- dation persans blest with good minds who use them to prey on Society. This tribe is increasing at an al- arming rate simply because we have forgatten that without char- acter all else is hopeless. 6 FIRST GRAIN SHIPMENT Halifax, Dec. 3-The first car- load o! grain ta open the 1947 winter season has arrived here ov- er the Canadian National Rail- ways. R. W. Hendry, port mana- ger, stated that grain shipments to Halifax this year are expected to surpass the 1946 total of 6,- 500,000 bushels. An arrogant fellow was boast- ing about bis ancestry. He said "Father fougbt in. the iast war-- Grandfather fougbt in the Boer War-- and my Great-grandfather fougbt in the Zulu War ----Then somebocly said "On which side?" ---Maybe that wasn't such a smart rebuff. What have we got that the Ai- rican Zulie hasn't? We are able ta read and write. The Zulu bas a very simple set of laws that have served for cen- turies. A notable one that oper- ates with inexorable simplicity is THE LAW 0F THE SURVIVAL 0F THE FITTEST--which doesn't mean haif of the nation in asy- lums. Stili -- the Zulu can't read or write. On the other band. ----WE have have almost universal literacy. It is one of my oddest exper- iences that I have neyer been able to flnd anyane who would teli me what the net social value of a com- pulsory literary actually cames ta when the balance of advantage and disadvantage is drawn ----or wherein that value consists. Penalty of Literacy This much we know, that uni- versai literacy heips business by extending the reach of advertising and increasing its force. (The at- an bomb that frys two million humans ta a crisp in the twinkling of an eye is the brain chiid o! lit- eracy)---Ail this is presumab]y on the c redit side. On the debit side --- It enabies scoundrels ta betray --- bewitch --- and bewilder such intelligence as is in the power a! the vast majori- ty of mankind ta exercise -It en- ables themn ta read. They are mare or less adept at passing printed mnatter thraugh their zinds after a fashion -- (especially such matter as is acffressed to mere sensation ---and the knawledge of this fact is nine tenths of a propagandists - - - - - -
