Quite often he got conflicting answers, but strang- ely enough, with a minimum of lll | contraversy he always seemed to end up with a unanimous agree ment on the objective he had ori ginally intended, He proved it each time by showing a card after agrees ment was reached, wily agreed with the audience's de= on, Can Bog Down Maj, Brownlee showed how a conference can bog down by any one of several types that can be found at every meeting, One is the character who disagrees with every. body on general principle, Another is the man who answers every ques tion with a monologue on his pers Soak) Hine, a another is the arassed soul wi As pressing per sonal problems to solve which have no bearing on the conference at hand, The speaker cleverly, and often amusingly demonstrated how all these well meaning pests can be ed all without losing a friend or having them dash off to the nearest river, "Conference technique is really saying the right thing in the right way at the right time," pointed out Maj, Brownlie, He stressed the im- portance of asking lots of questions and keeping discussion moving at all times, "Be a brick wall," he ad vised, "Let the boys bounce the i] oft you to their heart's cone Conference Technique Conforence technique can be summed up in the following four steps, the speaker stated: "Step 1--Present Problem--Put group at ease, state problem I= floally, define objective of meeting arouse interest of group.

Biltmore Clocks Are off the Beam "Your time is my time," Rudy Vallee used to sing as his theme song, Maybe he still does, for all we know, but whether he does or not, we really don't care, What we do want to know is, Whose time is the time you see in front of the Biltmore Theatre? As you must have noticed, there are sight clocks in the display, each one telling you what time it is sup- to be in some faraway city lke Shanghal, Cairo, or London, Anyway, that's what the sign says. But sad to say, when the clocks were checked Thursday afternoon every single one fell down on its chronalogical rectitude, Probably ust another omen of the troubled Imes we are living in, For example, the Vancouver clock is theoretically three hours behind hawa time, However, on Thurs. day afternoon the Biltmore Vane couver clock had the Pacific coast city one hour and twenty-five mine utes ahead of Oshawa. Don't worry up | about that though, Vancouver al- ways thinks she is ahead of any oth. er olty in Canada, All of the other seven clocks were off the beam, too. Winnipeg, Hono lulu, Shanghai, Cairo, Sydney, N.8. 5 y and London were cach anywhere from one to four hours early or late, Strange to say, there is no clock in front of the theatre to tell you what time it is in Osh« awa t be time to sot the clocks for Winnipeg, Cairo, ete, MOVED TO ORILLIA F, A, Burt, a former staff mem- ber of the Dominion Bank at Osh- awa afid Brooklin, who more re- cently has been manager of the branch at Timmins, has been ap- Boliiig manager of the branch at RECONDITIONING C, P, PLANE Weston Alreraft Ltd, at the Osh. awa Airport, last week finished the reconditioning of one of the large planes of Canadian Pacific Airlines, Workmen are now engaged on a similar plane for the same company, RUST BATTALION REUNION It will be of interest to many in this area that the 21st Battalion Association is holding its 28th con= secutive reunion dinner at the Ar- mouries in Kingston on September 28, Dinner will be served at 7 pm. warm weather of September, It ale | tee.

"These hourly prizes are some- thing new and better in the way of Karnival attractions," stated Ki- wanian Keith Gahan, chairman of the special "hourly draw" commit- "It works out like this: everyone at the Karnival who patronizes any booth, at 10¢c or over, really has a double chance to win a good prize, He first has a chance to win one of the prizes In the booth--and they are going to be real good--and then he receives a ticket from the booth attendant which entitles him to a chance to win one of those special big "hourly prizes.' Draw Every Hour "The tickets handed out to every booth patron will be gathered up shortly before the clock reglaters each hour and placed in a drum for the hourly draw, The special prize will be handed out, and vis- itors will then have other chances during the evening to win an out- standing prize." Kiwanian Gahan explained that the color of the tickets will be changed every hour and that the plan has been organized to go as smoothly as clockwork and give the hosts of Karnival patrons thrills of expectancy and entertainment throughout the evening, that they have mot experienced at similar events, Just as a certain well known ra- dio station announces that it fea- tures news 'every hour, on the hour," the Kiwanis Karnival offic. als assert they will feature extra good news in the form of special prizes "every hour, on the hour." There will be fourtéen of these special draws, seven each Karnival evening, beginning at 8 p.m, and run- ning through until 13 o'clock mid- night--with two big prizes being drawn for each night at midnight.

Visitors will see many of Oshawa's leading business and professional men behind Karnival booth coun ters, some of them scarcely recog= nizable wearing their varied garb and ingratuating smiles, Gone will be the dally cares and worries, re- placed by the spirit of fun and friendliness, a spirit that will spread throughopt the crowd at this great peace-time mecca of galety. And remember, while the fun is fast and furious and the prises are being handed out wholesale, the big event is staged solely to help those in this community who most need ald, Every nickle, dime and quar- ter that swells the treasury of the Kiwanis Club will be put to the best possible use--that of carrying on thelr numerous 'welfare pro- jects for underprivileged youth and for worthy charitable and humani« tarian projects in this city and dis- tricts, Come and win your share of priz- es--and at the same time show your appreciation for the good works being carried out unceasing- ly by the local service club, $38,500,000 From Auto Sales Re -------------- Ottawa -- Sales of surplus auto= motive equipment accounts for $38,000,000 of the $204,540A,263 realized by the War Assets Corpors ation in the disposal of left-over materials and supplies from the WAT, The largest item of receipts is that for ships, being $75,600,000 with that for automobile vehicles and equipment running in second place.
