"HOW TO-WIN HUtNDf md How Brttain'f, No. 1 L ORD Beaverbrook was born in . the forests of Canada as Mox Altken, and later given a title in England. On the eve of Dunkirk. Winston Churchill realized that » England’s output of planes had to be doubled In a few months or England might be lost. Now. doub ling a nation's output, of t planes in CO days calls for a miracle. So Churchill picked 1 D. Carnegie a miracle worker for the Job: Lord Beaverbrook. who Jumped England's plane production from 900 to 1800 a month in three months. ’ " * ' ' f - . Lord Beaverbrook'had very lit- •• tie fo’ inal education: He attend- .. ed school only a short period, and during that period he was far more interested in fighting the other boys than he was in studying. When he got out into the world, he at first failed at everything he Unlertook. He failed at selling life insurance and sewing machines, failed at running a bowling alley, failed at running a newspaper, failed to pss* an examination to enter law schooL PubTIsKer Advanced At ao he didn’t have a dollar. At 30 he was worth five million dollars;. How did he do It? Well,. 4ve went to Halifax, Can- ada; .(jot $1 Job as secretary to an In vestment/banlzer. There he was In his element. He merged banks, stcej. companies, power companies. In ten years, he had accumulated the larg est fortune anyone could have made in-Canada up to that time. He had tasted blood now and longed for bigger achievements. So he went to England, plunged into politics, stag ed a 'Sensational political calinpaign and^got himself elected 'to parlia ment: V In order to gain political power, he bought a London newspaper^, the Daily Express, which was. at»ut to fail.‘•The first year of running that paper resulted in a loss of a million dollars: the second year was better, the. loss was only a third of a mil lion Later it produced an income of a million dollars a year. He played up sensational and shocking stories. He gave his subscribers gifts and free Insurance policies and hot tips on the horse races—tips that fre quently were right. The circulation skyrocketed eight hundred per cent. It leaped from three hundred thou sand to two and a half million, the largest daily circulation of any paper in the world. '■? BY III MRS. CATHERINE CONRAD EDWARDS Associate Editor, Parents* Magazine Child’s Tastes Should Be Considered A RE You Training Your Child to Be Happy? asks one Of the most popular pamphlets Issued by the U. S. Children’s Bureau. To which question we should like to add—in his way or in yours? For often one of the most difficult things to un derstand about your child Is how he can be happy in such a totally dif ferent way from your own childhood Idea of a good time. You see. when it comes to sharing happiness we usually choose friends with tastes similar to our own. We don't go off on a fishing trip with someone who loathes country pleasures, we don't enjoy going to the • movies with a companion who’d rather be home reading a book, and we don’t choose Inveterate card players as companions if we’d rather dance. So we have little experience in happiness outside our own brand. Yet into your life may come a child who doesn’t at all take to the kind of fun you used to like. We’ve all seen the very feminine mother who is aghast because her little girl throws dolls about as if they were blocks. And the mother who has been a tenn\s of swimming star and is nonplussed because her son or daughter prefers sitting alone read ing, to any sports activity. However, these are differences in taste which 'usually adjust themselves—most parents finally get used to wondering what their children see in the things they love to do. It’s the occa sional parent who belittles what the child naturally enjoys, or who worries for fear the child isn’t having a good time and treats him as if he were a vex ing problem who may block tba child’s capacity for leading a happy life, either now or later on in adult life. For example, many quiet persona whose greatest joy is thinking fed guilty all their lives about it because as children they were called lazy or hounded about day dreaming every time they sat quietly without occu pation. Then there are the natural born actors who were kidded by their families every time they struck a pose. Unless they were good enough to make a profession of act ing they probably turned Into over- disciplined souls who always keep the brakes on for fear of being laughed at if they respond with their normal dramatic approach to life. Fortunately, parents aren’t as apt as they once were to deny a boy music or painting or cooking because these don’t seem manly, or to dis courage a girl from working with chemistry and engineering sets. Of course, parents have to help chil dren balance their recreation, but it’s best to let most of their fun be the kind they choose for themselves.
