Alma Sturney, aU declted out in her diving- equipment is one of the explorers. he Woes of an Executive BY BOB WARD We see by the papers where the iior Chamber of Commerce ndled the topic "requisites of a good ecutive" at a recent meeting. And om ali accounts a lot of "requisites" ire tossed into the pot. , >w most of iis.citizens know that "requisites" of executives are etty all-inclusive. Like, for in- 'nce,. bemg related to the boss; vmg a lot of money; ulcers that are. ated to income that an eight-ulcer cutive has an eight-ulcer salary; otmg golf i n . the low 80's; and 'ch-like "requisites." •But.what we didn't know about the uisites" until we read the papers > that the executive-type's wife was i-important. Indeed,. so all-impor-nt is the execUtive's wife that some have private investigators spy-on. them. Muid you we woulan't have believed n companies actually spy on exe- Uves wives if i t had not been for efact that a speaker at the J C of C eetrng confessed that . i t actually ppens. The speaker, a Mr. Phillips Trane Co., stated that "The num-of executives being (held back by !eir.wives is terrlfic." So much so in ct that "many firms now have direct terviews with the wife, others make ötle enquiries, , some even make lecks by private investigators." Business, according to Mr. PhiUips. no longer mterested in wives."who can cook, is ^ood looking, or -vvho will ralse 15 children-. . . who will eat only the company's products.". No sir, citizens, business today is .interested in the executive-type who has an ambltious wife — a v i f e •who is SO ambitlous that she'll agree to transfers, her hubby entertauiing at nights, and ali manner of Iike things which will, of course, ali be good for the company. We decided that on such a topic as this that we should have a dlscussion with our wife and get the •woman's pomt of view,. as it were, on this weighty topic which the Chamber had been handling. So we ups and says to herself, "^Amy," we says, "Just what do you think the 'requisites' of a good executive-tjTJe are?" - Her nibs was busily working at check-off when we posed her with this poser.. Check-off. we might explain, means i n Ward parlance that if we don't send a check every now and then |(sometimes oftener), one of our cre-ditors comes and takes some of our possessions off. "A good executive,'' answered Amy, "should be the boss's son, be good at filling a swivel chair, have shares in the company, and not get involved too much i n iknowing anything about the business.", "Yup," we answered, "thafs part of the answer; but how about the a l l - important question — what type of wife should he have?•^ ' "So what are you worried about the 'KING AHEAD he Twcnty-slxth M a n By Special Staff.

Upon being asked why it had taken I him Buch a length o f'We to join-the group of world's elite milers, this reply was received: "I beheve that the time alone is not theonly esD^ntlal for this calibre of perfonhance, but it must be combined with flawless executior. for thedesired perfect result. ; I am not a follower pf the schooI; composed chiefly of European athletes.whortin against time alone.

"Not any more it ain*t, no sir, It a i n V we cut in, "this article rve been reading says that companies are interested in the wives — even hlre detective agencies to investlgate them, it says..Matter of fact," we went on, "this fellow claimed that the 'number of executives being held back by thelr wives IS t e r r i f i c . . ." "Did they say anything about the numbers of v/lves that are being held back by their husbands?" Amy que-ned.'. "Weil. no," we said. "but that wasn't whatwas being-discussed. It was wives that hold back husbands 'I know," said Amy wearlly, "but it's always women who are either holding their husbands baok, or pusbing them around, or hen-pecking them. or not takmg enough interest i n them. "One thmg I hope," she went on, "is _that they confine their spying to the executive-type ahd don't spread it generally." "Why IS that?" we asked. ."Weil. Just let me catch any Investigators, or people asking 'subtle' ques-tions and you wlll see," she said. And from the look in her eye as she went back to the check-off, she really meant it. Of course thafs Just one wife's opinion of the Junior Chamber of Commerce's somewhat loaded' pane! opinion. We imagine that other wlve8 will pot away at the opinions ex-pressed by the executive-types present vvho picked their brains on the "re^- quisites" of a good executive. It is a sad commentary^ we might add, on executive-types of "our way of life" variety that their success or failure has to be blamed on thelr wives. But then again the Chamber had to have some kind of a handle to hangits "requisites" on. — U E New8, The "Impossible" 7-Foot Jump WiN Be Conquered Next Item «x» come off the Tist Is the seven-foot The next "impossible' high Jump. It has defied the worWs best longer than the 15-foot pole vault; the 60-foot shot put and even the four-nilnute mile. but two-former Call-fornia colleglans are fUrting with "lucky seven' 'every time out and both expect to make it before they hang np theh: spikes. The confident highrfllers are A r - my Pte. Herman Wyatt and Ernle Shelton.

Ken Weisner set the^ World indoor record of six feet lo44 inches last season and in doing so uncorked a leap that probably waa the greatest in track hlstory. . Veteran Judges i n the jumping area swear than Ken cleared the bar by at leaist two Inches and probably by more. The bar wa8 at 6 10 % and there the record stays. > In addition to Shelton, Wyatt and Weisner, the potential seven footers trainlng hard at the moment include formernational indoor champ John (Poppa) Hall, and Chuck Holding. Both Hall and Holding are army Ueu-tenants and members of the armed forces team along wlth Wyatt. It's merely a question :now of viM makes it first. The one who does thereby jolns Comelius Warmerdam.

I want to utter a few brlef thoughts on women's problems. as studied recently wlthin the conflnes of my own home. Many. many men have given much thought and written many books about: woman's place in Society. I have read a greatmany of them, and can truthfuUy say 1 was alwaya on the side of the women. In fact, I believe the very flrst politlcal expres-slon I ever gave voice to wa8 :when I was a young helper on an Adatns Express truck. and-we passed a suf-frage parade. My driver, a tough old Irishman, liooted at the ladies, but I defended them. So then he hooted at me. and for months I was kidded by him for being £ sissy. •So much for that It is over;twenty years ago.. but I. went on being loyal to the same ideas.

My wlfe was getting stale, wlth ali the housev/orkj and I sent her off for a day. I myself took care of the house and the baby. I recommend the experience to every man who wants to galn a real insight into this tmportant problem.

he Woes of an Executive
BY BOB WARD
We see by the papers where the
iior Chamber of Commerce
ndled the topic "requisites of a good
ecutive" at a recent meeting. And
om ali accounts a lot of "requisites"
ire tossed into the pot. ,
>w most of iis.citizens know that
"requisites" of executives are
etty all-inclusive. Like, for in-
'nce,. bemg related to the boss;
vmg a lot of money; ulcers that are.
ated to income that an eight-ulcer
cutive has an eight-ulcer salary;
otmg golf i n . the low 80's; and
'ch-like "requisites."
•But.what we didn't know about the
uisites" until we read the papers

is the execUtive's wife that some

Uves wives if i t had not been for

eetrng confessed that . i t actually

Trane Co., stated that "The num-of
executives being (held back by
!eir.wives is terrlfic." So much so in
ct that "many firms now have direct
terviews with the wife, others make
ötle enquiries, , some even make
lecks by private investigators."
Business, according to Mr. PhiUips.

can cook, is ^ood looking, or -vvho will
ralse 15 children-. . . who will eat
only the company's products.".
No sir, citizens, business today is
.interested in the executive-type who
has an ambltious wife — a v i f e •who
is SO ambitlous that she'll agree to
transfers, her hubby entertauiing at
nights, and ali manner of Iike things
which will, of course, ali be good for
the company.
We decided that on such a topic as
this that we should have a dlscussion
with our wife and get the •woman's
pomt of view,. as it were, on this
weighty topic which the Chamber had
been handling. So we ups and says
to herself, "^Amy," we says, "Just
what do you think the 'requisites' of
a good executive-tjTJe are?" -
Her nibs was busily working at
check-off when we posed her with this
poser.. Check-off. we might explain,
means i n Ward parlance that if we
don't send a check every now and then

comes and takes some of our
possessions off.
"A good executive,'' answered Amy,
"should be the boss's son, be good at
filling a swivel chair, have shares in
the company, and not get involved too
much i n iknowing anything about the
business.",
"Yup," we answered, "thafs part of
the answer; but how about the a l l -
important question — what type of

"Did they say anything about the

It is a sad commentary^ we might
add, on executive-types of "our way

had to have some kind of a handle
