stays in the bottle which is to say when the boss stays beyond his expected re tirement date the dis satisfaction among ambitious managers below him spreads like disease And now that mandatory re tirement at age 65 is increas ingly considered discriminatory that disease may plague corporations causing them to lose some of their best managers and em bittering others Every time chief executive leaves his position eight to 10 per cent of managers below typically receive changes in assignments as well as salary adjustments said Eugene Jennings management authority If the chief executive stays two years longer than the old mandatory retirement age more managers who were just mildly disturbed before are un happy At three years theres management exodus Jennings management pro fessor at

will save the world millions of dol lars annually in prematurely broken eggs The seeathrough plastic egg of Dr Toby Carter of the Poultry Research Centre is the same size weight and shape as large hens egg The product of three years development it contains two small transducersvibrating springs with weights on them which are activated by the egg as it goes through the mechani cal washing candling grading and sorting processes to which real hens eggs are subjected If the motion is violent enough to cause real egg to crack the mechanical egg beeps and blinks red light through its

IIOPES DASIIED If the chief executive stays five years longer than the exist ing mandatory retirement age one can see the possibility of hundreds if not thousands of ex ecutives having their hopes dashed on the corporate wall he said In the 500 largest industrial corporations for example 000 managerial personnel would be reduced to un certainty leading possibly to unhappiness and dissatisfac tion The ripple effect of just one person declining to retire when expected is sometimes over looked by those studying the impact of delayed retirements Jennings said In one corporation of 230000 employees and 15000 managers the retirement of Adams Gold Strip the chief executive meant reassignments for more than 1700 employees Had the top man not left many of those managers might have Usually have noted that among 100 candidates for presi dent or chairman 15 per cent will leave to make it else where regardless of retire ment policy But when the chief executive stays on an other 10 per cent or so will leave As long as the candidates can expect the chief to retire they can deal with the problem of making it or not But add the uncertainty about retirement and it becomes too much They look elsewhere TIME LIMITED The problem for the individ ual in such cases is the possible loss of what they feel is lifes biggest prize Candidates for the top jobs are aware that the window ages where they are observed are 4550 for presi dent and 5156 for chairman They understand said Jen nings that they must get their faces in the window at these ages And if the top man stays they either pass the window and out of the picture or they transfer while they have the time In companies where the plug stays in an indeterminate time the Candidates left are relatively old or very young When the frustrated manager moves to another company and the top man there also stays on it might increase dis satisfaction with the whole sys tem Recognizing that the problem is personal societal corporate and economic and that case can be argued for both early and late retirements Jennings is the filll taste ofryc Whisky Only the price is light notifThomas Adams Disnllcrs thl wlt llll ur ilmrn 1111111 made no attempt to defend one position or another He said he sometimes sympa thizes with the top man and ad vises him on how to convince the board he should be per mitted to stay on He sees healthy aspect for society in that bottledup talent is often redistributed to companies that can effectively use it But he observed also that there are consequences within corporations whose impact might be

Nfld CP safety and conservation Newfoundland hunters who plan to go after moose or caribou in 1978 will first have to prove that they can shoot straight The rovincial government has instituted hunter capabil ity test and Essing mark will be necessary fore person is given abiggame licence There has been no decision on whether the test will be applied to nonresident hunters who are required to be accompanied by licensed guide Wildlife officials believe the test will drastically reduce the number of applicants for moose and caribou licences In the last three or four years floods of applications were received annuall from the wives sisters ult children and other relatives of hunters in wild scramble for available licences Generally between 11000 and 12000 moose licences and 600 to 700 caribou licences are available eachyear Applications are drawn in some years by computer and in other years by hand with pref erence given to hunters who did not receive licence in the pre vious season So in order to increase their chances many hunters had family members complete and send ina plications resu was that many per sons who had never fired gun wound up with licence But in 1978 all applicants will have to take the hunter capabil ity test requirement that is expected to eliminate all but those who really want to go into the woods with gun The test consists of three par ts and is to be administered throughout the province by sev eral teams under the direction of Pat Latta coordina tor of the provinces hunter Sears Mens dress slacks Save $6 The flannel look care woven dress slacks
