Thursday, June 27, 1940 Da&Gatoeqi^, Author of "How to Win Friendt and Influence People." | GETTING THINGS DONE Walter P. Chrysler wasn't al ways an automobile manufac turer. Far from it! He was a mechanic in the railroad yards in Salt Lake City, getting $3 for a ten-hour day, or thirty cents an hour. Not only that, but he was just one among hundreds. He didn't look different. What one thing do you suppose lifted him above the level of the others and started him up the ladder? It was his ability to get things done. Dozens of other men could tinker with a hot box just as well as he could, but they didn't have the most important trait of being able to get things done in spite of every obstacle. To illustrate what I mean—one day a crisis arose. The engine on the crack train between Salt Lake City and Denver went lame. It was operating on only one side. No other engine could be used. This meant that the train would not only be late, it meant it would not go at all. The famous flyer would have to stand idle in the station. Hundreds of people would be delayed, miss their ap points. The reputation of the railroad would suffer. The master mechanic was frantic. Twelve o'clock noon! And the train had to leave at three. He told the best man in the yard that the back cylinder head had blown out. The man shook his head. That would take twenty hours. He consulted an other man. Same answer. Then he saw young mechanic Chrysler. He asked him if he could put in a back cylinder head by three. Young Chrysler knew the en gine. He knew intimately and expertly what had to be done. But he did not hesitate. "I'll do it if you'll give me two helpers." ' Two helpers! Great guns! He could have every helper in the railroad yards! The engine was wheeled out to the roundhouse pit, at ten min utes after twelve. Young Chrys ler actually leaped onto the en gine before it stopped rolling. The fire was raked from the boilers CUB PAPER AND 6 MAGAZINES AT BARGAIN PRICES BIG ECONOMY OFFER ALL SEVEN FOR ONLY Woman's Home Companion 12 issues Pathfinder 52 issues I Q II JZ f| American Poultry Journal 12 issues > ira ■!

But Chrysler didn't wtdt for it to cool. He hopped in. It burned his shoes. But he kept stripping off wrist pins, nuts, bolts, and studs. He worked with a feverish intensity. That was for him the most im portant Job in the world—and he was going to do it! At last he called the master mechanic. "The job's finished." Ten minutes of three. The master mechanic was overjoyed. The crack train pulled out on time. This incident changed Walter Chrysler's whole life. It made him known. It raised him head and shoulders above the herd. He was immediately made foreman with ninety men under him. His ability to achieve what seemed impossible had started him up ward. He had drawn attention to himself by one outstanding ac complishment. He accomplished more in that two hours and forty minutes than he had in all the other time he had spent in the shops put together.

People's Column The Tribune does not neces sarily endorse any article un der this heading but welcomes at all times communications of interest to its readers and the general public. PREPAREDNESS Editor Tribune: \ We hear a lot said in these days about preparedness, and I fear we are trusting too much in men, guns, bombs, armies, and navies, and not enough in God Almighty. I appeal to my read ers to put their trust in God and fear Him instead of man—for if God be for us who can be against us? Text: Prepare to meet thy God. (Amos 4:12.) When David went out to fight Goliath the Philistine giant, who stood more than nine feet tall and who had defied the armies of Israel time and again, he said to King Saul, I am not afraid to go out and fight this giant. But David did not go forth in his own name, he went in the name of the Lord of Hosts. He refused even to put on King Saul's coat of mail, looking unto God for his defense and ammunition, with the result that he slew Goliath and cut off his head with his own sword. This nation of ours, every church and congregation, and all people of every name and order need to come down on their knees humbly before God in prayer and repentance; we must learn to put away pride and so much em phasis on luxury, style, and fash ion. Hear moreover as the Lord sayeth, because the daughters of Zion are become haughty and walking with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, in that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon; the rings and nose jewels, the changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins. And it shall come to pass that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair bald ness. Thy men shall fall by the sword and thy mighty in the war, and her gates shall lament and mourn; 'and she being deso late shall sit upon the ground. And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, say ing, We will eat our own bread and wear our own apparel; only let us be called by they name to take away our reproach. (Isaiah 3:16, 18, 21-16; 4:1.) This pro phecy is being fulfilled every day as the war continues. Now read again, If my people which are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways: then will I hear from heaven, and will for give their sins and will heal their land. (2 Chron. 7:14.) I believe that this is what the world needs more than anything else. Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Isaiah 55:7.) We need to fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. (Eccles. 12:18.) Let us hear what Jesus says on fear, I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Pear him which af ter he hath killed hath power to cast into Hell; yea, I say unto you, Pear him. (Luke 12:15.) If we will obey this injunction then we need not fear Hitler or any other beast on earth. When Gideon went out to fight the Midianites he thought he needed thirty-two thousand men. But the Lord said unto him, Your army is too great; send away ail those who are fearful or afraid. And twenty-two thou sand departed. Then the Lord said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down to the water and I will try them for thee there. Everyone that lappeth of the water with his tongue as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself. Only three hundred of the ten thou san id lapped the water in this way; but Gideon took his three hundred men as the Lord had said and gained a great victory over the Midanites who were as the sands of the sea in multitude. God teaches us that battles are not won nor victory achieved by great armies and navies, by big guns and planes, but by putting trust in Him. So let us arm ourselves with the only unfailing weapons, and as Saint Paul exhorts. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the ruler? of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephes. 6:11, 12.) Let us pray earnestly that the Lord may speed the time when men shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; when nation shall not lift up sword against nation, Bicycle Taxi COPENHAGEN, Deni » new type bicycle makes Its appearance here as a result of the petrol shortage caused by the war.
