AYRES Managing Editor SASVLABK> Anthorized as Second Class Mall by the Post Office Department, Ottawa. oe FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1962 site \fancouver columnist Jack Scott re- “ ently reported the growing trend among big U.S. companies to scrap pérsonality - analysis as the bible by which employees are promoted. There was undisguised glee in Mr. Seott’s discovery, documented in a Wail Street Journal survey. He sees indiyiduality, imagination and talent were coming back into their own, Bushing out the mediocre but safe darlings selected by pseudo-scientific methods. ' What Mr. Scott may have over- looked are signs of other changes. The day of coddling employees, for ex- ample, could be headed for scrap with the psychological tests. Some of the change was outlined recently by Vancouver City’s person- nel director B. H. Peterson, in an ad- dress to the Greater Vancouver Chap- ter. of the Public. Personnel Associa- tionm re | -Mr, Peterson drew on papers, pan- éls And: comments at the 1961 Public ersonnel Association convention in Denver : In summary, he found manage- ment is swinging away from the soft- hearted approach, discarding much of the highly personal attitude to em- ployees that erew up in post-war years with psychological testing. ' Some of Mr. Peterson’s report is as significant to employee relations as Getting job done is what counts -the discard of psychological testing. Quoting authorities, he said in part: “The management of a business or the administration of a government agency is not a clinie for psychopaths or welfare cases or an educational in- stitution . . . the accent is switched from the individual to his job-per- formance. . “Unless we can find ways to re- store our toughness and our policy to get a job done while sustaining human dignity, time will run out... we have to learn to be not only kind-hearted but hard headed... “... we have carried this new in- sight so far that it interferes seri-— ously with getting the world’s work done. It encourages people to feel sorry for themselves, to find excuses for failure and to act like children. Employees have to take responsibil- ity for their own work and their own lives ... — “A supervisor needs to see that an employee does a good honest. day’s work. He should bring him up to that standard without concern as to whe- ther his childhood was unhappy or whether he is having trouble with his wife.” This new attitude if it continues to develop could be as revolutionary as the departure from the head-shrinking tests which are now blamed for too much mediocrity at the top in today’s management.—The Vancouver Sun. FANCIFUL PREDICTIONS FOR 1962 Soviet girl spy in orbit will track U.S. sp ce ” By HAL BOYLE =. Associated Press Staff Writer on ’ : e NEW YORK.:-—— What kind.of year will 1962 be? co , , : .

The United Nations will seck to solve its financial woes by ‘having itself listed on the stock exchanges of New York, London, Parts, Rome, Bonn and Tokyo. Shares will be sold seeretly to the Russian pubHe by stock and hond salesmen parachuted into Siberta by the Western Allies.

Leslie Frost a8’ a Privy Coun- . cilor, along with Senator Wal- ter Aseltine, may ‘ encourage speculation that Mr. Frost is - destined to become Govern- ment leader in. the Senate, succeeding Senator Aseltine. This would bring a substan- tial addition of strength to the cabinet, to the advantage of the upper house. But like much news from Ottawa lately, this remains in the realm of rumor, which sometimes makes news. Mr. Flynn is one of the at- tractive younger Conservatives who entered Parliament in the Diefenbaker landslide of 1958. Quebec now has six ,cabinet ministers, with Mr. Flynn re- placing Hon. Paul Comtois, now Lieutenant Governor of Quebec. For the past year, Mr. Flynn has been deputy Spea- ker of the House .of Commons. He represents Quebec South which, until 1958, had been Liberal ever since it was form- ed in 1014, Its voters elected Hon. C.
