o AsQWe Live Attitude Affects Both Quantity And Quality of Production How you feel about what you areQioing will have a great in i uence not only' on the quantity but also on the quality of what you do. If you are bored, for example, you will not attack the work i n the same spirit as if you were interested and enthusiastic. The person's By ELIZABETH HURIOCK, PH.D. Y'f Dr. Herlock attit-ude toward what he does is greatly influenced by the cir cumstances under which he un dertakes the work. If he is forced to do something by someone else, naturally he will not feel the same way about it as he would, had he chosen to do the same thing himself. Working under force is always accompanied by a resistant, rebellious attitude and this militates against what the person accomplishes. Because certain things must be done, whether in the home or in the business world or com munity, it should be obvious that those gwhose responsibility it is to do these things should have favorable attitudes toward them. Then the work will not only be done better but the worker will be happier while on the job than he would if his attitude were un favorable. Attitude More Favorable It is a well-known psycholog ical fact that people's attitudes are always more favorable to ward things they want to do than toward things they do not want to do but which they feel, for one reason or another, they must do. Therefore, it becomes a problem of making them think they want to do these things which they must do. . How, you may ask, can this be done? The answer is by letting the person have some say or some choice in what he must do. This may mean only that he decides the sequence in which the differ ent steps in the work will be car ried out or that he decides what method he wants to use in doing it. When a person is given some opportunity to make a choice, he at once begins to feel that he was the person who actually wanted to do the job. He realizes, of course, that0he is being paid for It or the woman realizes that it is a part of the responsibility she assumed when she decided to marry. However, the person's attitude,4oward what he knows he must do will be greatly im proved if he can feel that he is his own master and, as a result, x: i- .1 ' 1 . ' this' or that. I know she has a home and family but so do most of us. Can you explain why some people are always talking about how 'busy' they are?" R. T. (A) A person with a "busy complex," like your friend, may be a poor manager and, as a re sult, never get things done. Most "busy" people however, are suf fering from feelings of inade quacy and inferiority which they try to compensate for by telling everyone how "busy" they are. This, they believe, will create the impression in the minds of their hearers that they are im portant people and, as a result of their importance, they are kept busy all the time. While they are in the process of frying to convince others of their importance, they often suc ceed in convincing themselves that they are people of great importance. Forgetting birthdays: "My hus band is a devoted husband but he often forgets my birthday or some anniversary, then he is ter ribly embarrassed. Should I just ignore his forgetting? Mrs. U. T. (A) I think it would be much kinder to your husband if you would tactfully, remind him of your birthday or some anniver sary than to ignore his embar rassment or try to convince him that his forgetting doesn't bother you. You could say, "Shall we invite your parents to celebrate my birthday with us?" or "Shall we plan a little party for our wedding anniversary?" "Hates" His Home: "My 15 year-old son says he 'hates' his home and can't wait until he is old enough to leave. Should we ignore this?" H. S. T. (A) When a teenager says he "hates" his home, it usually means that there is some friction with his family. Don't ignore his "hates" but try to find out what is back of them and then correct the causes. This is essential if the family is to be happy.

Ike Campaign Team Forming For 1956 Washington U.R) The 1952 Eisenhower campaign team is forming again to line up slates of pro-Eisenhower National Con vention delegates for forthcom ing state primaries, reliable in formants reported Saturday. Evidence of the teams work already has shown up in New Hampshire and Wisconsin. Min nesota is reported next on the list. One probable result of the group's work would be to keep it in the saddle at the 1956 con vention if President Eisenhower should decide against seeking a I second term. However, members' of the team were said to be glowing with extraordinary if still unexplained confidence that the President will run again de spite his heart attack last Sept. 24. It was learned there have been at least two meetings in the past month in New York and Washington of Eisenhower backers. They included men who led the 1952 pre-convention drive to win the GOP presidential nomination for Mr. Eisenhower. Chief objective of this group is to get pro-Eisenhower dele gates to the National Convention elected at party conventions and particularly in the state primar ies while Mr. Eisenhower's in tentions remain undisclosed.
