UQSBE3M Merry Christmas and Happy New Year T r..m c;.J- I n.i WE WILL BE "teC CLOSED Dec. 24 thru Jan. 1 OPEN MONDAY, JANUARY 2nd DAVID Restaurant Supply & Equipment 40 NORTH FRONT STREET Most Chief Executives Dissatisfied With Own Job Chicago (U.R) A company president says that bosses such as himself are constantly calling themselves on the carpet. Lyle M. Spencer, who became president of Science Research Associates here at the age of 27, says that chief executives try to keep hidden "an almost masochistic capacity for self criticism." That characteristic turned up in a survey of 950 members of the Young Presidents' Organiza tion, Spencer said. His firm made the study, he wrote about it for the Harvard Business Review. The Young Presidents' Organ ization is only for those who reach the top before 40 years of age in a firm doing more than a $1,000,000 annual business. Spencer is now 44 years old. "From the day they take over the reins of business control," Spencer wrote, "most chief ex ecutives are secretly as dissatis fied with their own work as with that of the most bumbling em ployee." 39 Average Age The survey gave this compos ite picture of a young company president: About 39 years old, running a business grossing 53,500,000, em ploying about 250 persons, hav ing an annual personal income of $41,000 (about a fifth of it coming from outside his busi ness), still married to his first wife after 13 years, with three or more children. And he is a man who worries about how he does his job. The study showed these 10 problems that worry him the most: 1. Using time effectively. The president works much longer hours than other employees but still doesn't have enough time. 2. Learning not to be a person who does things himself, but gets others to do them. Most! presidents advanced by being j "do-ers," now they must learn' to delegate authority and be "a teacher, planner, counsellor, su pervisor, mediator, and some times a disciplinarian." 3. Building a team. "More than a third of all presidents said that the worst mistake they made last year, and one that hurt, their company the most, was either having a man in a key spot who did not fit or failure to get one who did." Decisions In Crises 4. Setting the direction. The job of making a final decision falls squarely on the president. 5. Finding expert advice. Bus iness life is getting so complex a big worry is finding experts who can worry for you. 6. Securing working capital. It takes money to make money. "A clear majority of the presidents surveyed felt that their com panies could be run more effic iently if they had more working capital." 7. Making crises decisions. "Every president faces recurring crises and it is interesting how often they seem to have their most brilliant ideas when their backs are against the wall." 8. Negotiations. "When the chips are down, when big money is involved, the persident must be on hand personally to go through the turmoil of making the final decision and to suffer the consequences if his decision is wrong." 9. Searching for a creed. Many presidents feel a "vague uneasi ness" about what the real respon sibilities are to stockholders and the community. 10. Effecting self - improve ment. "Three out of four are currently engaged in some type of training to improve them selves as businessmen." Ceylon (Reds Made Mistake Battling Buddhist Monks Colombo (U.R) Ceylons Communists made one of their biggest mistakes when they dared to battle publicly with this island nation's influential Budd hist monks. The major tactical blunder cost the Reds the support of the monks and discredited them in the eyes of the people. The issue that broke the some times close relationship of the monks and the Communists was the question of Ceylon's state language. The government of Sir John Kotelawala, supported by the Communists and left-wing ele ments, wants both Sinhalese and Tamil named state languages on an equal basis. But Buddhist monks, who wield tremendous influence in neutralist Ceylon, demand that Sinhalese alone be designated the official language. They point out that of a popu lation of more than 8,000,000. there are 5,621,300 Sinhalese snd only 908,700 Tamils. Riot Result! The problem came to a violent head recently when Buddhist monks and pro-Sinhaless broke up a meeting in Colombo town hall which was called by the Communists and leftists to pass a resolution demanding that Tamil also be m a d e a state language. Several monks were assaulted. As a result, the infuriated mob went on a destructive rampage and left .behind a trail of smash ed shops, most of them belong ing to Tamils. The monks, many of whom previously supported the Reds, actively turned against the Com munists. I Only heavy police guards and Veteran Actress, 67, Dies in Hollywood ; Hollywood (U.R) Funeral services were being arranged today for veteran actress Nana Bryant, whose career in show business spanned 50 years from touring stock companies to tele vision. The 67-year-old actress died Christmas Eve in her Hollywood apartment following an illness of several months. Miss Bryant started on the stage when she was a 16-year-old high school student in Cincinnati. Flames Evacuate Families Over Fire Department Cardiff, Wales U.R) Fire heavily damaged a drying room and apartments over the Cardiff fire department building last night. Firemen evacuated some 15 of the 40 families living in the building. Two Minor Accidenis Reported To Police Dale Sawyer, Shady Cove, swerved his car to avoid stril ing a deer on the highway near Shady Cove Sunday, he told state police, and ran head-on into a car driven by Charles Reginald Ray, 23 North Ivy st., Aiectiora. Officers said no lnluries re sulted from the accident, and that damage to the two cars was relatively minor. The only other Christmas day accident reported to state police was in the city of Central Point where cars driven by Donald Lloyd Mathias, 610 West 10th st., Medford, and Freeman Wil liam Mason, 47 Laurel st., Cen tral Point, collided, resulting in minor damage to both, offi cers said. Water is so scarce on Mars that its white polar caps are thought by astronomers to be hoarfrost only a few inches thick, the National Geographic Society says. Read and Use Classified Ads iililEi.ii NOW NOW THE PERFECT HOLIDAY SHOW SEVER SUCH UVVU nzs& A MADCAP FUN! a hard rain prevented anti Tamil crowds, angered by the attacks on the monks, from vio lence when the language issue was debated in the House of Representatives. No decision was taken at the session. At a meeting of Buddhist monks held at the Colombo Young Men's Buddhist Associa tion hall, one of the speakers demanded that the people unite to drive Communism from Cey lon to safeguard Ceylon's re ligion and language. Communist Argument "There are a few monks who are still with the Marxist lead ers working against our lang uage." said another speaker. ' I would not hesitate to join any one who will come forward to disrobe them." Premier Kotelawala still main tains that there should be two state languages, but he points out that the decision should be made by the United National party, the ruling groups. One of the main Communist arguments for two languages is this: if only Sinhalese were designated, the Tamil-speaking area of the north would secede from Ceylon and join South India, also a Tamil-speaking area. The Tamils would ask the United States for aid, and the United States would establish air bases in northern Ceylon, thus endangering peace in south eastern Asia. Most of the people are not im pressed by this argument, and they don't like to see their monks pushed around. ma Vjj B0R0TOT lULONELIWJ """TJ EDDIE MATEH0FF iT" 1 I SHIRLEY MuUKE ' The 'foreign agricultural ser vice of the U.
