A Great President
Those men who occupy such positions in the U.S. administration as cabinet members, bureau directors and judges can, through their statesmanship and wisdom immortalize the president they work for.
This has been true from the first presidency, when Alexander Hamilton was providing the bulwark for the Washington administration, to the strong men in the administrations of Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman.
Even the credit for such dynamic and visionary statesmen who make a president great cannot go to the president himself. Party politics and political debts can narrow the choice down not to the "boys for the jobs," but the "jobs for the boys."
Many persons tend to judge the president's actions only, forgetting that a great presidency
is a composite of all the key men he has around him. To judge a president, look further than the personality of the man.
A secretary of state or the Supreme Court can put a president into one of the longer chapters in the history book.
Failure can come in a president's administration if the great offices of the state are not staffed adequately, while the immediate staff surrounding the president has the right men.
Great presidents are made not born, and as in any organization dependent upon the good services of others, great staff members are imperative.
To evaluate any president, one of the factors that must be looked at is the type of men who were statesmen at that time.
—Doug Parker
Toward Good Human Relations
So you don't believe what Joe Blokes says. His ideas are crazy. He just can't think logically.
It's normal to think that. The guy's thoughts are different from yours. Maybe his religious and political ideas differ from yours. Anyhow he just doesn't believe what you do and therefore he's wrong.
It may be normal for you to think that, but it is probably normal for him to have his ideas too. After all, his experiences in life have not been the same as yours and he didn't have the same parents you had.
It is amazingly easy to understand the other
man's views if you put yourself in his place. To do it, though, you've got to try to feel things the way he feels them, to look at them from the perspective he uses.
When you try this, you soon realize that he's got a point too. You don't have to agree with him. It's better if you don't. You just find out that his ideas are logical, that there is another way to look at things.
So what have you gained? You've added another friend to your list; you've greased the wheels of human relations. You've made the world a better place to live.

They've Outdone Us
For a long time now, Americans have prided themselves on being the mechanical wizards of the world. We may depend in part on other countries for certain agricultural products, but when it comes to machines we're the masters.
Other countries trade their home-grown products for our machines. In the past it has actually happened that a nation's economy has suffered greatly because the U.S. refused to sell it the needed tools and machines.
But today our smug exterior finally is being pierced by a foreign-made machine. The machine isn't a remarkable discovery, it isn't a complex item, it isn't even big or costly. Its very quality of insignificance is its greatest selling point. It is the European economy car.
We used to gloat when the heads of foreign countries stopped in Detroit to order Cadillaacs for their excursions. But today in the U.S., an $1,100 Isetta can attract more attention than any $15,000 galloping, overgrown monster.
Fires in national forests dropped Vermont is the second state in the 42 per cent in 1957 from 1956 and Union in which the post office started man-caused fires hit a new low. rural mail delivery.
It is paradoxical that the Europeans, whom we have looked upon as being backward and who, in turn, have snubbed our great technical and practical advances, could have produced a machine essential to the American way of life.
Each of the seven floors of the Basin Park Hotel at Eureka Springs, Ark., can be reached without climbing stairs or riding an elevator. Because of the position of the building against a mountain, every floor is a "ground floor."
It is delightful to know that these Europeans are producing a machine which is more durable, more economical and more desired than the best achievements of Michigan's mechanical wizards, with their highly developed technical resources.
