SEWARD AND FORD
Many out-of-town visitors, es
pecially from other Alaskan mun
icipalities, get quite a “kick” out
of “kidding” local citizens as to
the alleged wind and bad weather
of Seward, expressing great sur
prise when they enjoy one of the
many beautiful days. But like the
ancient Ford jokes, conditions are
just the reverse Ford turns out
a mighty fine car and Seward
doles out some magnificent days.
CLEVELAND, May 9. (ff)—Col.
Leonard P. Ayres, vice-president
of the Cleveland Trust company,
formed the habit of watching the
successful men in all vocations
and discovering the qualities that
brought them success
He selected four and listed them
in this order:
(1) Knowledge of the field they
work in.
(2) Courage.
(3) Activity; leadership is not
won by inertia.
(4) Talent for human relation
ships.
He says that everyone has these
qualities, but few develop them.
