TEURSDAY. OCTOBER 13. 1949 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN. BOWMANVILLE. ONTARJO PAG! THIRTUUV Weekly Review Are We Merely Clever Monkeys ? By LEWIS MILLIGAN '"I canfess freeiy ta you, 1 cauld neyer look long en a monkey Without very mortifying rcflec- tion.e." That was written 354 ycars ago by William Congreve, the p lt, in a letter ta a iriend. Sa0 e has said that the mon- key a caricature of man,.and that1 is .vidence that the Creatar Sad a sense of humour. Congreve, awever, didn't sec the joke, for Se was mortified at tlýc resem- lance in farm and attions be- jweený himseif and the monkcy. -Darwin, on the other hand, was flot in the least rnortificd at the Jikeness, he regardcd it as evi- dence aofrman's simian ancestry in the evolutian af species. 1Scientists have gane ta a lot ai trauble ta prove that theory. They have dug up skulls and jaw-bones which they believe belonged ta semi-human ereatures that exist- ed a million or mare years ago. 7Thsy trace the ancestry of the borse back ta a three-taed little "animal, th,- hipporadent, a fassil bf which is in the Museum ai Na- tural History in New York. But_ 1the weakness of the theory, Sa far as the horse is concerned, is in the fact that the horse-rat has 1flot survived its supposed off- spring. The monkey, however, from which we are supposed to have evolved, is stili in existance 1and flourishing as widely as ever and produces nathing but mon- keys.1 The question of the arigin or emergence of man in this planet is stili ,a profound mystery, de- spite ail the theories and research- es of biologists. Whether he evolved from some lower animal or appeared suddenly in foul sta- ture, as the Scripture tells us, man was from the beginning a new creation, distinct ànd separate from the rest of the animal king- dom. Scientists themselves are puzzled as ta how the infinitely comiplex mechanism of the human brain and the human hand could be developed by physical process- es. Despite the physicai similarity, there is a tremendous mental gap between the highest type af mon- tkey and the lowest type of man.

LET'S MAKèe THEM WANT TO COME BACKI, Congreve was doubtless impress- ed by the human-like actions of the monkey, but those were oniy i natural since forms are' sinilar. The beaver, which is far removed i hicil form from that of man, ifar more intelligent than the ape. While watching some bea- vers in a zoo recently, I was lm- pressed not only with their mech- anical and architectural ability, but aiso with their actions, one toward another, which struck me as very human. The difference between the in- telligence of man and the lower animais is the unbridgable guif between a iimited and fixed in- stinct and an unlimited capacity for adaptation and invention. But there is a stili greater difference in the spiritual consciousness of mankind. Man is flot only con- sciaus of himself and of the pre- sent, he "looks behind and be- fore." He surveys the world about him with a sense of beauty and wonder. He looks Up at the starry firmament and his mind penefrates beyond it into infinity. He loaks into himself, examines his own thooghts and emotions with a sense af right and wrong, of will-power and responsibility. He can aspire ta the heights of spiritual excellence or descend to the depths of maral and physical degradatian. Above ail, man from his very beginning on this pianet had a conisciausness of an intelligence and power highcr and greater than his awn, ta which hie owed revercace znd obedience. He rea- iizcd that he was but a sojaurner i this region of time and that his littie lufe was rounded with etcrnity. This consciousness of his divine relationship and !i- mortal destiny lias been the' source of man's highest aspira- tions and dcvelapment. And wherever men or nations have cast aside or become indifferent ta religion they have cut them- selves off from the very source ai ail real intelligence and power. They may for a time imnprove themselves physically and soc- ially, but in gaining the world thcy ]ose Iheir souis. They be- came entircly animal and a cv- erer type oi mon ky. It may weli be that God made the nionkey in order ta rouse us ta "mortifying refiectians." Human Capital By Joseph Lister Rutledge Rt is always a pleasure ta have sarneane take a forthright poke at one ai the carny aid errors that go for advanced thinking wt some af aur well-intentioned near-intellectuals. ïhe idea, for inýtancc, that management has littie regard for the individual. The truth is that people are vastly mare important than mon. c'y ex en ta hard-headed business- men. Without intcrested, intelli- gent, dcvo-ted people ta support its policies, the 'best management can make no pragress at its task af making dollar outlay attract other dollars. We have behind us in this statement the large exper- ience of a man who has ta dea] with peaple bath as custamers and cmploy ces-J. William Hor- sey, *PrSioient and Directar af Dominion Stores. It is he who says that people are mare important ilhan dollars. And the reasan he giveýs is simple, so simple that one would think it woui d be obviaus ta everyone. Physical assets, Mr. Horsey explains, can be boughtJ with money but they mustt be de-1 veloped by pccple. Attractive1 stores and gaad merchandise can5 bring customecrs ta a business con-i cerii but, il their good will is ta 1 be retainecd, it must be donc by people. Dollars iay hclp, they can pro- vide goad loualions, pleasant sur- i'ounatings, modemi equipment andt sound gooas. ?fhats ail they can do. They can bring the customer1 in contact with Ihe spirit of the store as represented in its people. One lhint oai i-civility in these people, the suggestion of lack of interest, faulty or grudging ser- vice may casi;y undo everything that the vasteSt expenditure 'f dollars has accomplished. Only« igrim necessity makes us deal with people we have reason ta distrust or dislikc. Mr. Horsey's business is retail- ing. Its ccntacts with people are near and intimate. and the facts af distrust or dislike have quick repurcussions. But al business and ail industries touch people somnexhere, sa what is true af re- tailing is just as truc, if iess im- mediate, when it is a matter of making steel. The product, its reputatian, its public acceptance arc no better than the devotion af the human elements that creat. ed it. Canoanc imagine that man- agement that is intelligent enaugh ta direct Vast industries. is flot intelligent enaugh ta realize thal the xorker is the primary capital -without which no other forrrn af rapital has any importance ai significance? Realizing this, is anc reasanabie ta suppose that man. agement will cailously alienate or will scamp unnecessariiy the human capital that is the heart of its undertaking? Per capita consomption of canned fruit and vegetable juices has jumped almost five-fold in the past ciecade.

Shown being wel- comed at Vancouver airpart by their Canadian colleagues, the girls wiil soon shed their pictur- esque Oriental costumes for C.P.A. ste-wardcss uniiornis, and xill share doties with Canadian Politeness Essential to Good Salesmanship "Politenczs diplomacy, tact and strategy ail go ta make a good salesman,' declamed Ralph L. Davidson, speaking ta the Cham- ber ai Commerce af Brampton last week. Politencss, Mr. Davidson sraid, is perhaps the most important thing ai aIl. "People don't boy what they nced, they buy what they wn, he xvent an. "~One ai the best mcthods ai selling," the speaker :suid, -is ta give the customet- a choice be- tween somcthiag and somcthing cisc and thus make if casier for hlm." Dîscussing the appearance ai the seller, Mr. Davidson raid that the salesman -must always look like a high-class businessman" for the custamer will then feel that he looks prospcrous and so must have a good line. The ab- sence ai aicotinc-stained fitîgers is just as important, iin this re- spect, as the weii-shined pair ai shoes, he raid. buHe told the club that people buy for coaveaierce, satet * pride andd fcect and know what the custamner wants. Mr. Dax'idson said: "The first hall minute is the most important and the first ten waords arc betteî- than the next 100. Mr. Davidson declared that the salesmen and the firm w\ere part- ners and that 'if is a partacrship in which thc salesman and the firm profit."

Born in Castie Douglas, Scot- Ian, on May 31st, 1869, deceascd's maiden name was Mary Welch. She lived some time in England before coming to Canada, where she settled in the Salemr district and has lived there and around Bawmanville ever since.

Surviving are -one son Vernon af Weston, also two grand- daughters, Diane LoAwcns af Wes. ton and Mrs.. Herbert DeLand (Violet) of Toronto. The funeral, which was held oin St. John's Anglican Chorch, af which she was a member was largely attended.

Bloch, an officiai of an Israeli potash company, the Dead Sea contains some 2,000,000.000 tons af potash which will heip considerably ta increase the standard of lufe in the world. In a recent report ta the United Nations Scientific Canference on conservation and.utilization of re- sources, Dr. Bloch said the Dead Sca also has an inexhaustabie supply ai sait, magnesium and bromine. These minerais are ex- tracted by means ai salar evapao'- ation. OUR.FOREST RESOURCIX Canadian Forestry Association studies reported in The Financi1 Post reveal that in many.readily accessible, areas the foreats are being unnecessarily overcut W~ cut before maturing. Douglas tir is mature and must be salvaged by cutting far in excess of growth, replacement. On the other hand,, species like poplar, lodgepol& pine and jackpine should be eut much more heavily as soon as, wider uses cari be found. Today, Canada is suffering from failure. to provide for a new crop of white pine and red pine which were the foundation of Canada's early lumber industry. When randy was taken off the« ration list in Great Britain it was the first time some seven million British children had ever been able ta buy an unrationed lollipop. Staff ord Bros.
