Propaganda Needed A LESSON might well be taken from the Russian methods of artful propaganda. If it was, there , might be a lot less bother about the spread of downright red propaganda which is being so skilfully broadcast these days. While such propaganda, much of it on the verge of subversiveness, is being circulated widely with much effect, the principles of democracy, 6n the other hand, are to large extent unemphasized. . The communists and the socialists, working in season and out, patiently and against odds, are always enthusiastic, watching and grasping at every opportunity to present and put their doctrines across. And they are influencing people too. Call it propaganda or what we may, it is becoming more and more important in every day af- lairs. We should be dishing some out ourselves. POPULARIZING BANK REPORT AGAIN THIS YEAR, following a practice it originated, the Bank of Montreal has come forward with a well-illustrated, easily understandable bank statement for the benefit of its more than 1,500,000 depositors- Unique among bank statements, the report, which covers the 130th year of the B of M's career, can be read with complete understanding by everyone- In the explanation of "the facts behind the figures", the bank emphasizes that money deposited does not lie idle, but works constantly for the building of the nation. "Here is the money that makes the wheels of commerce turn," the report points out. "Here is the money that helps the farmer garner his crop . . . that helps the1 lumberman buy equipment and nay his men. Here are the dollars that enable the bank to make more than 500 personal loans every business day of the year to men and women who need money to meet emergencies and take advantage of opportunities." The statement, is also brightened considerably bv the addition of little thumbnail sketches throughout, and the use of simple, everyday language in place of the more formal financial terms usually Auuiiu wi yctim I epul is. 1 GOOD CONVERSATION THE LOST ART of conversation; can be revived, says Gelett Burgess in The Reader's Digest for December, if the principle which is the basis of all xood manners be applied to talk. "This principle is the avoidance, in social contacts, of emotional friction caused by irritation, boredom, envy, egotism or ridicule," In an article condensed from Your Life, Burgess deplores all purely subjective talk, such as that centering on your health, troubles, domestic concerns, wife or husband. "Streams of personal gossip destroy all objective discussion of art, science, history, the day's news." Monopolizing the conversation is ruinous1; occasional ''flashes 0f silence" make it delightful. To state a fact with finality is to force an opinion on another, but to qualify the statement with "it seems to me" leaves the subject for the. next speaker to enlarge upon. Differences of opinion may extend and embellish an interchange of views, but flat contradiction is a. conversation-stopper, Burgess says. While interruption puts the train of conversation off the track, an occasional "grace note," such as "How wonderful !" is a good way to urge the speaker on. Good listening, essential to good talk, requires not only your ears but your eyes, hands and even posture." The author has tested the interest of some of his articles by reading them aloud to fn?1n(5-1 f J,heir eyes went to a picture on the wall, if their fingers fiddled, the manuscript wasn't .holding, them and I marked the dull spots for revision. The ideal number for good dinner talk is six, Burgess holds- With more, "the conversation is apt to break up into separate side dialogues," If each of the six is engaged in a different pursuit, so much the better for .shop talk will be avoided y A GIFT OF FISH...
