Despite the Rush
Please Be Kind
BY CAROLYN HAGNER SHAW

For some reason as soon
as Thanksgiving is over, it
dawns on everyone that
Christmas is near. After all
it's been getting nearer for
some time!
Anyway, the result is that
the signal has been given to
!, start biting fingernails and
getting busy making the gift
list you've been putting off,
for 10, these many weeks.
The main thing now Is not
to get panicky. Take 1t slow
ly and remember that you
still have three weeks to go.
Otherwise you'll end up a
nervous wreck taking your
Ill temper out on family and
salespeople alike.
For example, yesterday I
bumped into Mrs. Inrxperi-
enced as she was returning
from her first Christmas
shopping foray. Her frame Of
mind was anything but pleas
ant, particularly about the
salespeople.
Her lament was q series Of
criticisms. Their lack Of
courtesy, rudeness, etc. The
thought crossed my mind
that perhaps her own atti-
tude had brought about many
of the discourtesies she had
met with. Not that the
salespeople aren't to blame
some Of the time. The well
what do you want?" atti-
tude is overdone far too
many times these days.
However, regardless OF
which side Of the fence you
may be on. it seems that
during the next few hectic
weeks, courtesy towards the
other fellow should be the
paramount consideration.
Never forget that a gracious
word is an easy obligation,
and really pays big dividends.
Based on this concept, ask
yourself o few questions.
Before you start on q
shopping trip, do you make
a list of the people for whom
you are going to buy gifts,
placing beside each name a
suggestion or two OF the
type present you are going to
look for? This saves q lot
of time and hunting around.
Even though it Is not easy
to maintain q friendly smile
and q considerable manner
when you have to battle your
way through crowds Of peo-
Pile, do you start on your
tour determined to be cour-
teous, no matter how often
your toes get stepped onp
Above all, do you take into
consideration the poor sales
people2 Some Of them are
impossible, I will admit, but
the majority are anxious to
serve you as best they can.
Remember you only have to
deal with one Of them at a
time. They have to deal
with hundreds every day and
some of them aren't as po-
lite and understanding as
you are 1--WE hope).
To the Ladies: Do you
show consideration for men
who may be shopping too?
All too often they are
brushed aside at a crowded
counter, and not wanting to
appear un-gentlemanly be-
fore the ladies. they step
back, letting them go first.
Shame on the ladies! This
is one time when the old
axiom Of ladies first" should
not be followed. After all a
man has as much right to
take his place in line when
shopping as they have. 1t
is extremely unfair to step in
his place.
Perhaps the whole thing
sums UP to proving that do
ing unto others as you would
like to have them do unto
you should be the rule dur
ing the next three weekSl In
stead Of a long string Of
ruffled tempers and resent
full stares following you as
you 60, perhaps smiles land

Mr.. Hyer pointed out. cal

quire $42 billion for wplants
and equipment In the l9o0-lo70
decade and an additional $50
billion during the 1905.
"This continued investment
In new and expanded plant equip
ment is one of the reasons why
Americans have and use more
electrical energy than any other
people In the world. In fact,
the United States has more ell
ectrical capacity than the next
five nations combined and a.
bout three times the generating
capacity of the Soviet Union.
This mine-mouth, high
voltage transmission capacity
in no way excludes other forms
of power supply. There will con-
tinue to be many reasons to
locate conventional base load
power plants at load centers
and to actively pursue re-
search on nuclear power. The
development of gas turbines,
diesels and pumped storage for
providing power during periods
of heaviest customer use will
be continued by the INVESTOR
owned utilities. Also, as a part
of the utilities planning for
heavy future load growth, there
is bound to be an opportunity
for further consideration of coal

DR.. Carl C. Byers, an of
ficial of General Motors Cor
poration, will be the principal
speaker at the Delaware Motor
Transport Associations an
nual ladies' night banquet on
Dec. E.
This was announced today
by J.A. Biermann, D.M.T
president, who said that more
than 450 members and guests
are expected to attend the din
ner meeting at the Hotel Du
Pont.
Lloyd R. Leslie, vicepres-
ident of Delaware Power & Light
Company, will be master of GER
emonies.
The dinner is scheduled for
7 pm. in the Gold Ball Room,
following a reception In the
du Barry Room, beginning at
5 pm.
Music for after dinner dane
ing will be provided by George
Madden's Orchestra.
Nationally known as an edu-
cator-counsellor and humorist-
philosopher, DR.. Byers is the
author of more than so articles
published in leading education
magazines and journals, and of
two recent booklets, "Pres-
cription for Happy Teaching"
and prescriptions for Happy
Living"
He became a lecturer In the
areas of education, human re-
lations and sales motivation in
1857. Previously he was school
administrator In Ohio for rs
years.
DR.. Byers' philosophy is said
TO reflect his belief that there
can be no straight thinking with
out the mental and physical tonic
derived from a grin or hearty
laugh. Through his commen-
tary, he promotes, In his own
words, Education, better hu-
man relations, practical Chris
tianity and good sane Ameri-
cansism.
He makes frequent guest ap-
pearances on radio and televis-
ion and has presented his own
radio series.
A graduate of Otterbem Col
lege In Ohio, DR.. Byers has also
had a doctor of education de-
gree conferred upon him by that
Institution. He also holds an
MA. degree from Ohio Univer-
sity.

low-cost fuel supplies and
transmit the power generated
over long distances at extra
high voltages."
The largest of the TWO power
plants is the Keystone Electric
Generating Station which will
be built near Johnstown In Pen
nsylvania's coal fields. 1t will
be a TWO unit, 1000, ,00-kilo-
watt station, the first 800, 0,000-
kilowat unit of which will be In
service in 1867. A second unit
of the same size scheduled to 60
In service In 1868. Site pre-
paration will start early in 1868.
Two 500,000-volt transmits
sion lines will run eastward
from the Keystone Station, one
for 225 miles to the Philadel-
phia area and another for 300
miles to terminals In northern
New Jersey and the New York
Metropolitan area, providing a
high voltage inter connection
with New York City, upstate
New York and New England.
MIR. Hyer pointed out that a
big factor in making the plant
and the long, extra-high-voltage
lines practicable was develop
ment of an integrated program
under which companies in the
four-state interconnection sys-
tenn serving Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Delaware and Maryland
are contracting to take the
plants output for the entire life
of the plant.
These companies are Atlantic
City Electric Company; Bal
timore Gas & Electric Comp
any; Delaware Power & Light
Company, the four companies
of the General Public Utilities
Corporation = Jersey Central
Power & Light Company,
Metropolitan Edison Company,
New Jersey Power & Light
Company, Pennsylvania Elect
ric Company - Luzerne Elect
rtc Division, The United Gas
Improvement Company; Penn
sylvania Power & Light Comp
any; Philadelphia Electric
Company; Potomac Electric
Power Company and Public Ser
vice Electric and Gas Comp
any.
The second power station will
be a 00-000-kilowatt station
on the Monongahela River near
Morgantown In the West Vir-
ginia coal fields to be built by
the Allegheny Power System and
tied to the Keystone Station by
a 500, ,000-volt line. A similar
line will be extended westward
to the American Electric Power
System at Wheeling, West Vir-
ginia. These lines will total 1870
miles In length.
"The transmission facilities
involved will serve as integral
links In expanded interconnect-
ions, increased coordination of
installations by electric sys-
tens over very broad area"
Mr.. Hyer continued, "and make
significant contributions to ma
tional defense capabilities"
''In addition to further as
suring ample supplies of
power for future load growth"
he said, "the new lines and
power stations should produce
operating economies and eff
ficiencies which will help com
bat rising costs and thereby
maintain the reasonable prices
for service that have been
characteristic even through

capital. The fire department
said there were some survivors.

the pilot also was taken out
alive but died later.
A Brasilia radio station
quoted a passenger as saying
the plane captain had informed
the passengers that he would
attempt an emergency landing.
The passenger said the plane
came to a stop about 800 yards
after hitting the ground in an
area near the airport that is
