Your"Voice
Tells Much
About You
By NANCY WILTON
Did you know that your voice
is like a delicate instrument?
That your vocal chords are as
sensitive as the strings of a
violin and that you must treat
them with a great deal of care?
Moreover, the sound of your
voice, in communicating with
others, often tells what type
person you are and can even
tell them how you feel.
One important thing you can
do for this very valuable pos
session is to learn to use it cor
rectly. Modulate it. There are
two extremes in a speaking
voice that can grate on other's
nerves. One is the voice that's
shrill, loud and penetrating.
The other one that mumbles.
This forces your listeners to
strain to hear you and often
they ask you to repeat what
you've said. Both of these traits
can be very annoying.
Why not start developing
yours into a fine, resonant
sp. aking voice just as an artist
trains his for singing. Practice
your diction first. Don't be in
such a rush to spill out what
you have to say that you slur
your words or "swallow" them.
Remember to speak distinctly.
If what you have to say is of
interest to others they will like
it so much more if you say it
with a beautiful voice. It is so
much easier to listen to others,
but do you know what your
voice sounds like? Step into a
room alone and talk aloud. Bet
ter still, if you have a friend
who owns a tape recorder ask
permission to make a test on
it.
Once you correct the pilch,
concentrate on projection.
Speak out so you can be heard.
If you breathe properly, with
deep breaths, you won't sound
as if each word were your last
gasp.
As you cross your I s and dot
your i's in writing, so should
you pronounce distinctly the
vowels and consonants of the
speken word. Developing a
clear, precise speech can do a
great deal in your relationship
with other people.

Suppose an appealing
small boy asked you
to adopt him?
What would you do, if you
and your wife were in your
fifties and a ragged little
friend, six years old, an
nounced: "Joe, I want you
to be my father"!
Here's your chance to
meet an electric little boy
named Poppo a product
of Brooklyn's slums who
had a mind of his own, an
eye for beauty, and a defi
nite plan for getting a new
set of parents! The way in
which this plan reshaped
the lives of at least three
people makes an immensely
appealing true story.
It's condensed from the
$3.75 book "Poppo" and
you'll find it in December
Reader's Digest now on tale.
"That's one way of describing Georgia-Pacific's forest product research.
Research is so important at Georgia-Pacific we're now building a new
research facility in Oregon destined to be one of the forest industry's
finest private research centers.
"You see, research has shown
Georgia-Pacific how to use
every part of the tree to pro
duce valuable products. We've
discovered ways to make chem
icals out of bark, and how to
use scrap from plywood and
lumber operations to make
paper and containers.

"Research results in imaginative new
products . . , such as Hypalon Overlaid
Plywood ... an exterior siding avail
able in a host of colors that doesn't
need paint . . . and Ranch Panel, an
economy fir plywood that also comes
in a variety of colors.

"The increasing empha
sis on research by G-P
increases the value of our
forests every year by giv
ing us complete utiliza

enables us to meet the
competition from plastics
and metals . . . and keep
our community's econ
