Organization, all of whose members becanie executives of major corporations by the time they reached the age of 39, recently discussed the qualities which make for success in executive positions. The group came to several conclusions, which might be interesting if you are planning on being a successful busi- ness executive: , The first principal agreed upon by the group is an ability to get along with people. This seemed to be the most important prerequisite of successful executive, and was followed, in the opinion of the young executives, by a talent for analyzing, organizing and delegating work. Another quality found to be of almost vital impor- tance was that which is included in the words enthusiasm, honesty and sincerity. The young executive’s organization also agreed that an ability to influence people was high- ly important. These opinions were the result of a survey made among the 700 members of the Y. D. O. An interesting item, revealed by Charles Zimmerman, president of Con- sultants and Designers, Inc., of New York, was the fact that many of the young executives felt that they them- sélves were personally lazy. + They also feel that they sometimes lack ability in * their ventures, and take on more activities than they can properly handle. Another general comment of many of the young executives was their belief that they were personally responsible for their business, and personally responsible when things went badly. The survey showed that maany of the young execu- tives ‘were quick to praise others when things went well, but that when the business went downhill, they themselves took the blame and quickly went into action. These are the major results of the survey, whith you might heed, if you have plans to become a successful busi- ness executive.

Food, rest, mental peace and exercise are the four golden keys to old age. Better try to take advantage of this advice. There are people in every community who judge others by the size of their bank account; that gives us a pretty low rating. 2 The democracies will lose or save Southeast Asia in the next few months, depending on whether they set up a NATO-type organization to insure the defense of the free countries in that part of the world.

Not knowing the address of this company, I would like for you to inform them that I for one will take seid trip if it leaves St. Petersburg or Tampa. Many of my friends have expressed their same promise. We made the trip years ago from Tampa via the “Governor Cobb.” It is too ineonvenient to be obliged to sail from Miami, Very truly yours, : H. F. WEBER, 631 387th St. So. St. SBEKS CAUSE AND EFFECT Editor, The Citizen Under regrettable but circum- stantial anonymity, I must ly to Mrs. Bauderaux’s forum degratifying my concern for sober evaluation of the ease of the aban- doned infant. The letter bears, in most impetuous fashion, a glaring if not eommon inability among people to see what they read. On this premise I would ordin- arily close. The good woman has not per- ‘itted it. She has identified her- self among thosé who prematurely ery for blood, among those whose penchant down through history has been to: “Seize him! Off with his head!” Judgement by emotional rule! — the precise objection of my original letter, the nature of which has been overlooked. The baby is dead, abandoned hard-heartedly in a salt pond. If premeditated, this is murder. If ac- cidental, tragic. If negligent, man- slaughter. We have as evidence a glimpse of a woman and the cor- pus delicti: cause of death, a blow on the head. Facts, Ma’am. Just the facts. Now, seek the regions of your heart and tell me why such an .act was committed. Pound your gavel, Ma’am, and proclaim it. I would like to know. But you won't. You can’t, because it is beyond human capability to judge an- other’s subliminal consciousness, the inner bles of what man- kind calls a How then can it fairly be an- nounced the woman is guilty?

We are bound by eivie indignation to seek the facts, and to conscientiously judge, and to obdurately punish as this judgement dictates. It is not for us to predicate mur- der on emotional misapplication! No, you wouldn't want to know me, Madam.

Yet I must consent on one point. You have spoken out! You have yoiced your indignation and this is a small social offense in itself. Conversely, of course, you are jwnfair to declare my tind ag evil, or to insinuate my unawareness of warm-hearted Conchs, or to bolst- uninformed of my intent and pur- pose.

All of this, we think, should be food for thought for the governing officials of Key West and Montoe County. We need promotion and if it costs money, then let’s raise the money. Don’t ask me how — I know it is a tough problem. One mill would produce only a- bout $29,000"in Key West, but it would be a start. Extension Bill Becomes Law FRASER, Colo. # — President Eisenhowser signed into law wed- nesday legislation expanding social security coverage to 10 million ad- ditional Americans and liberalizing other benefits. -He hailed the measure as “one of the cornerstones to build a bet- ter and stronger America” and out- lined four important provisions: 1. It raises payments to all re- tired workers by at least $5 a month. It raises the ceiling of pays ments by $13.50 a month for ree tired workers and by $31.25 a month for families. 2. It eliminates the four or five lowest years of earnings from the computation of cheeks for workers who retire in the future. ‘This pro- vision is of great importance te many people whose years of un- usually low earnings . . . would sharply reduce their benefits,” the President said. 3. Retired workers may earn up to $1,200 a year without forfeiting checks, thus raising the ceiling on retired earnings. The annual exe emption applies equally to wage earners and self - employed workers. 4. The act preserves the benefits rights, under old age and survi- vors insurance, of those workers regularly covered under the gram who became totally disabled for long and indefinite periods, BIG TAX PAYMENT BALTIMORE (®—A messenger walked into the city treasurer's office yesterday and delivered a egg owner’s check for 1964 axes.
