MARCH 17, 1966 PRICE 10tf PLUS TAX Trial & Error I know it would worry you if I did not tell you about cor building program. It la almost finished. And by Wednesday night we hope to shout FINISHED ?but there is still much clean ing up to do. It has been ra ther difficult working this week. Everyone in the office was in a new location and no one seems to be acclimated as yet. Con fusion seems to be the word to describe each and every member of the outfit. But we ' will make it yet! ? ? ? ? We had the most fun at the Four-County Schoolln Rose HOI on Monday night. Mr. Har rison Taylor, who has taught public speaking in the Dale Carnegie School for twenty-four years, was planning to teach us riow to get on our feet and speak in ?as he called it? a capsule lesson. He is one of the most dynamic and well Informed speakers on his subject that I have ever been privileged to hear. Talking seemed to be as easy for him as sleeping is for pie. He pointed out how so many of us lose the power of speech because we habitually fall to use It. He told of the man who wanted his son to be a Diplomat rather than a bull fighter. His son wished to know wny. His father answered, "Son, it is easier to throw it than it is to fight It." B? after he finished speak ing, be made us get up before th* ttOUUOd :._>eak. He-gava us a inbjea about which all of us like to 'talk?ourselves, so everyone could say something without being completely lost. Of course each of us felt ra ther stupid and ill st ease, but he was a most encouraging teacher and said nothing bad about us?only good things. I even believe Mr. Taylor found a potential speaker or two in the group?I will not call any names?but the man with the booming voice in Warsaw made an Impression.
