A . t1 ; RETURNING war fliers are determined to fit the low-powered plane into our industrial picture as an indispensable fixture. How? Well, here's the story of Mike Adams, a recently returned fighter pilot of the air corps. He is of medium height, slight, wide- - awake, of ¢ool, calm manner, with the typical fighter pilot's grin in his eyes, Demobilized, he bought a 175 hp trainer plane and secured & a big industrial concern. His employer allowed him travel expenses on the basis of auto transportation. Mike did a little figuring. He used the car when the figures indicated that that was the cheapest way to make a trip. And his plane when that mode of transportation was justified by lower costs. As a salesman, Mike is ‘a natural. One of those chaps who instinctively starts on the right foot by selling himself to his listener. Using his twoplace e for transportation is only one of Mike's ideas. Dao you know any person interested in what's

.going “on today who won't enjoy chatting with a

returned fighter pilot—and if not about war flying, at least about aviation?

Assets in Reserve

TOO MUCH of a salesman to stress his flying background and the ownership of a private plane, he holds these assets in reserve. “That's all they are,” he says, “just assets, and darned effective if a fellow is smart enough to use them at the right time and in the right way, Okay, just assume a tough situation where I don't seem to be making any headway at all. If the prospective

' gustomer is cold on’buying, hint of your war back- . ground and he'll talk about aviation because it is the

most popular topic of the age. Has. the prospective

customer ever flown? Has he ever had a look at his

home town from the air?

G. I. De Luxe Trips

THE ONLY thing which pulls this incredible Swiss scene back into perspective is the reaction of G. L's who are enjoying about as de luxe leave-trips as a soldier ever dreamed of. . You ask a buck private, standing in the doorway of one of St. Moritz’s most expensive hotels, how he is getting along and he replys: “Boy! If you want breakfast in bed, if you want somebody to wait on you morning. noon and nighi, if you want to be absolutely killed with service, you've come to the right place.” But is he having a good time? “Good time? Gosh, I wouldn't know. I've been too busy having people do things for me.”

Mike insists that there are a number of places

where the low-powered plane is indispensable to a salesman. He admits it will take a little cutting and fitting to demonstrate where it belongs, and where it will give the salesman an edge that no car-borne

salesman can match.

Flew to Conferences “DO YOU KNOW,” he said, “I got a lot of ideas while I was on the European front. I was in a position to see why the several American armies clicked and co-ordinated so efficiently—to win the war. There are several major armies separated by considerable distances from each other; all- working toward a common objective. They all had to click exactly like the timing gears in an engine. “Each general might have accomplished this coordination by radio or telephone- conferences, but that would have been a poor substitute for a face-to-face conference of all the generals with their staffs. Every time there was need to co-ordinate the strategy of a new phase of the war, or shift a plan that was not measuring up to specifications, a general council was called. Within a few hours all the generals and their staffs could be gathered at a given point and the problem threshed out.” It was air transportation alone which made such close co-grdination possible. “The. geferals won the war,” sayggpike, “by personaliditection, Air transportation was the key.” Ihdugtrial executives eventually will have to use this same key to effect the personal "direction ‘so urgently demanded by modern history.

How to List Property Rentals

—If you made any profit during 1945 by renting property, whether it was an entire building the year-around, or only a room in your own home for a few days, that profit is subject to income tax. But the tax is only on your profit—not on all that you received, - And if you lost money, you can deduct the loss.

ing, owned for rental purposes, it is reasonably easy to compute yoyr profit or loss in the three schedules mentioned. But if you rented or sub-rented only part of a property, or if you rented part of the year a building or a room that you used yourself when you had no tenant, the printed schedules get complicated. It is easier, then, to work your problem on a separate sheet and show the end result in the righthand column on page two. . . »

BLOOD pressure goes down when we stand up. This is due to a shift in the blood, but it quickly returns to normal. The same reaction oc curs in other changes in the body position. Alcohol tends to cause a fall in blood pressure, which may be extreme in deep intoxication. Climate and temperature have an important bearing on blood pressuré, which is lower in warmer climates.
