Business Needs
Sense Of HumOr,
Says G.. E. Vincent

Boston, April George L. Vincent,
president of the Rockefeller Founda
ton, discussing public health at a
Chamber of Commerce luncheon today
said the great trouble with the Ameri-
can businessman was that he talked
shop all the time. Development of a
sense Of humor, he said, would do
much to slough off the feeling that the
worlds troubles were on ones Shout
ders. AS two principal factors in
maintaining a. healthy condition the
speaker named exercise and nutrition,
but said that dislike for the. pre- scrip
ton by the patient would minimize
it's effectiveness. He deplored the
fact that in a recent QUESTIONABLE
among 400 medical students none said
he intended making public health serv-
ice a career. the objection being the
danger of political meddling.
