Slave Lake Fishermen
Survive Tough Winter

EDMONTON. Alberta, April
9 B.-Several hundred fisher
men have wound up another
winter on the ice Of Great
Slave Lake. Theirs is perhaps
the toughest fishing in North
America.
Out on the lake. less than 800
miles below the Arctic Circle,
gales can knock down the tenn
peratures to so below zero.
The men live all winter on
the ice in heated, covered
sleighs called cabooses. and dip
their $500 yards Of gill net
through holes into the black
depths.
It takes the vitality Of youth
to survive o winter Of Slave
Lake fishing. The men usually
live in pairs. It's dark nearly all
the time.
A fisherman uses up to Is
pairs of special wool mitts a
day. The mittens get wet and
ice over every time they haul
in a net.

Schlader, a founder Of Mc1nnes

similar to whitefish. The 1857
catch, totaling more than al
million pounds of whitefish and
trout, overloaded the market
and depressed the price from
about 80 cents a pound to 20
cents a pound this year.
The fishermen do not pay
out their nets just for sport,
so there were fewer cabooses
on the ice this winter.
The winter fishing ends
about the time the sun short

The fishermen then 60 ashore
to prepare their boats for a
comparatively easy summer
season.

Croats, Serbs Proud
After two years with Prof.
Sevcik at the Masters School
in Vienna, I finished my stu
dies there with a record which
had never before been a.
chieved.
I won not only the "Statt-
spreis" of 800 Crowns, but I
also received as a gift a val
liable violin and bow from the
Austrian Ministry of Educa-
ton.
This was the second gift
given to me as - At the
age Of IA - 1 had received
the gift Of a violin from
Archbishop Posilovic Of
Zaxreb.
Since I was the first Croat,
or even Slav, who, up to that
time, had ever won the first
world prize, my success re-
ceived particularly warm ac-
claim from the Croatian peo-
pie and our Serbian brothers,
especially when my appearan-
ces as soloist with the Berlin
Philharmonic received flatter-
ing reviews from the Berlin
critics.

ces began in February OF
1914 with a series of seven
concerts in Cairo, Egypt.
As the critics were very
flattering to me, many of
the listeners from all parts
of the world-old Cairo at
that time being q center Of
international society - in
vited me to their homes. It
was there that for the first
time 1 met one of the most
prominent Englishmen Of
the day. Lord Kitchener.
To his remark that he could
not imagine how a combina-
ton of wood and strings
could express so much on the
violin, l replied:
Your Excellency, it seems
to me that it must be harder
to manipulate these four
strings than four armies"
Let The &C" Stand!
My concerts in Egypt were
announced by especially large
placards.
It was here, for the first
time, that 1 was faced with
the problem of printing my
name with the accent on the
letter "c".
Since this letter could
not be found outside Croa-
tia and since l refused -
as / still do - to end my
name with the Hungarian
"ch', the printers had to
make a "c".
Even though it is the GUS
tom in the US. to facilitate
the pronunciation for Anglo
Saxons, my reasoning was
that if the English and the
French could write their
names the same both at home
and abroad, then the same
custom should apply to the
Slavs.

Prof. Sevcik arrived from
Pisek in Czechoslovakia for
the concert and l had the
great pleasure and honor of
conducting to the stall in Ia
greb Prof. Sevcik and my be-
loved teacher and friend Prof.
Huml.
That occasion marked
the first time that three
generations of violinists ap-
peared before the Zagreb
concert public.
I was greeted with the same
enthusiasm throughout the
whole Of Croatia and Slavo-
MIA. In Osijek, after being
greeted by the Mayor and di-
rector Of the High School, the
students took the horse out
of our carriage and, amid tu-
multuous applause and sing
ing, drew me to the house
where I was to stay.
Here, for the first time in
my life, I made a speech. The
sentence is still ringing in my
ears which I expressed the
feelings I had then and still
have today:
II shall never forget that I
come from the small but glo-
rious Croatian people, and l

Forty-Pus Club Of New York Making Business History

W uIIA oNIAAi6 AAASAS AAASAA
$500 Club Minimum
Scatchard next organized a
special sales crew, consisting
of men experienced in selling
both tangibles and intangi-
bles. Shelved was the old
method of sending out re-
sumes on request.
Instead, a member of this
man-marketing group person
ally calls on prospective en-
ployers. With the qualifica-
tions of each Club member in
his mind he learns the prob
lens and obtains job specifi-
cations. Then he selects the
resumes which best fit re-
quirements.
After the employer choo-
ses the man in whom he is
interested, interviews are
arranged. The result is that
a Club member usually gets
the job. Annual salaries
range from the Clubs an
nual minimum of $500 to
$4,000 or more. The cell
ing is unlimited.
This method, much differ
ent from others, saves time
and money for the employer.
Perhaps even more important,
| it has bolstered the emplo-
yee's morale during unem-
ployment. No longer need he
sustain his confidence on his
own, frequently misguided; ILL
organized efforts.
The Club lifts him from
that quicksand to a reinforced
concrete foundation of prep
aration and help from the
time of joining to that of
landing a new job.
How They Make Out
No longer does the board of
directors have it's collective
tongue in cheek.
More than so jobs resulted
from the newspaper and di-
rect-advertising. A s con d
haf-page ad in the "Times"
and a direct mail campaign
stepped up to $4,000 mailings
to selected lists is expected to
produce $50 jobs. -
One man, who formerly
controlled inventories in a
warehouse, was a Club mem

period. He was soon placed af-

"A second man, formerly a

strange experience of seeing
his earnings decrease week

proportion because his firm
was unable to meet competi-

his present firm.
A third man went to q
new job about a week after
the ''Times" ad appeared.
Two others are now under
consideration by the same
firm.
Perhaps the quickest, as
well as the most unusual, re-
suit was this: A telephone in
quiry came in on a Thursday
morning. A field man called
on the same afternoon, ar
ranging interviews for Fri
day, with additional ones for
the following Monday. One
Club member not only went to
work on Tuesday, but really
had to refuse three job offers
made on the same day.

is providing an invaluable
service for business, at sub
stantial savings in pre-exami-
nation and screening alone"
But when Whalen went
on to the methods used in
merchandising all the pro-
ven executive ability in the
Club, he was taken aback.
He found many methods
still geared to the 1889
method of bringing pros
pective employer and en-
ployee together.
Most disturbing to him was
the time lag between accep-
lance for membership and Sc
verance to 60 to new jobs.
And this when "help wanted"
ads for executives from $500
(the Clubs minimum) and up
were literally bursting news
paper columns.
A sound public relations
program was needed, Whalen
concluded, to make prospec-
tive employers aware of the
high quality of the pool of
executive manpower in the
Club, estimated conservative
ly at 81 million a year in sala-
ries.
In addition, they had to be
told that this was not an un-
employment agency, because
men are available without
cost to either employer or en-
ployee, the Club being a non.
profit, cooperative effort sup
ported entirely by active and
associate members.
He Convinced Them
To the officers, Whalen
presented a program calling
for modern man-marketlne
techniques, asking: whats
the difference between selling
a pair of shoes and an execu.
tive - other than price,"
They. could answer only by
saying "None." But the direc'
tors consent was reluctant
."Show us first" they deman'
ded. &c srjsc. n3r~e>
Whalen showed them - ir
a one-half page advertisement
in the Sunday business and fl
nancial section of the New
York Times" Results were
just as astonishing.
On Monday morning the
Clubs telephone lines began
to hum with calls. All during
the week the tempo became
even faster. The mail likewise
mounted to an extent never
before witnessed in the Clubs
office.
Nearly half the member
ship, which never exceeds
100 at any given time, star
ted to move out into we'll
paying positions.
In this group were the pres
ident and his entire staff o1
officers. Whalen, after being
elected as the new president
surrounded himself with q
new and aggressive team.
The key officer is the vice
president, George D. Scat
chard, formerly a vice presi.
dent in charge of sales for a
leading company. He assumed
the important task Of short.

ceipt of a job order and inter.
views with qualified Club
members.
The result: More than three
times the usual number went
to new jobs in the first two
months Of this new operation.
al procedure.
A personalized mailing to
about 5000 employers was
the next step. It outlined the
Clubs facilities, and the ex-
ecutives it has to offer, high
ly skilled in their particular
lines. This brought an amaz-
ing 11% return, contrasting
with. an ovr>octnd C@.

ployer, he returned home,
wondering where he stood. He
soon learned, when both ex-
ecutives of the company came
North: They hired him to
open an office for the firm in
New York.
These interesting instan-
ces of time shortened be-
tween membership and =
job, and an inquiry and en-
ployment, could be multi
piled. Club members have
gone to jobs in Iran, South
America, and other parts Of
the globe.
But Club members zeal can
overreach itself, as it did In
one instance that promised
smooth sailing. A midwestern
brewery wanted a man to
work as assistant to it's pres
ident for four or five years,
then succeed to the office.
But a letter enclosing a pho
tograph and other data said
that the applicant was a
commodore of his local yacht
club.
Although the statement in
dicated the regard in which
he was held by his communi-
ty, it carried him on a reef.
The president thought he was
"too fancy" for a brewery. Its
officers and representatives
had to be much more at home
in places where sawdust is on
the floor than those where
Yacht club members meet.
Two Goals Remain
Another members story
had a happier, though delayed
ending because of a club mis-
take.
A late check by a field man
found the employer commit.
ted to a non-member who was
admittedly not SO well quail
fled. A year later he was
seeking another position, his
post having been filled by the
Club member.
For the Forty Plus Club Of
New York and it's president,
David B. Whalen, two goals
remain. One is to increase the
number of such clubs, whose
efforts will be similar. The
other is to weave these auto
nomous organizations into a
cooperative network that will
serve employers and unem-
ployed executives on a nation
al basis.
Already there is informal
cooperation with the Philadel-
phia Club whose president, Al
fred M. (Wiley) Post, hap.
pened to be Whalen's major
during World War II.
To accomplish ese
ends, the Forty Plus Club,
22O Broadway, New York,
N.Y., invites men in whose
area there is q need for q
club to write for informa-
tion.
If they will organize prop
erly, and do the necessary
work of education and train
ing to serve a vital need, they
will earn a rich reward of
men placed in new executive
jobs. The Forty Plus Club has
many ways to help you out of
a dilemma.
Lite Begins At 40 Plus
Still another aim absorbs
both the Club and Whalen.
That is to educate people,
particularly employers, on the
findings of the US. Depart
ment Of Labor, the National
Association of Manufacturers,
and other agencies concerning
forty-plus workers.
A survey by the NAM.
of 3,313,OOO employees re-
vealed that 93% of the old
er ones are equal to or bet
ter than the Younger ones.
