ANITA AVE ARCADIA CALIF Luncheon Syndrome A Catalog Of Speakers EACH WEEKDAY at noon also known as noon straight the San Gabriel Valley blossoms For this is the hour of the service time when luncheon speakers cajole cate expostulate or just plain gush forth their gems of wisdom like fountains nourishing the countryside Having had the privilege of attending service club meetings a time or two as a newsman also known as writing a story to get a free I am equipped Ed Essertier Editor to assist program chairmen in lining up a balanced slate of speakers for the forthcoming season The list below represents the types who might be enlisted not necessarily in order to present from week to week a well-rounded view of the American and San Gabriel Valley scene Drawing intimately upon their own fields of knowledge these types can offer service club memberships a fund of experience wit alertness and pizzazz to carry back into the aday world also known as that sleepy period right after lunch Herewith are 10 categories of speakers for con- 1 The Public Relations Man He comes complete with bundles of literature a film in sound and color and a subtle spiel his company is foremost in its field As a sop to those service club members who happen to work for his opposition the PR Man includes a pitch on why healthy competition promotes a free economy and low prices His turns out just happens to have the lowest prices in the current market 2 The Institutions Man He is a of the Public Relations Man but happens to work for federal state county or or for a local charitable agency also known as non-profit organization The pitch here is You're ting your worth out of taxes con- to my agency are tax-deductible At any rate when the Institutions Man shows up for lunch your stomach may get fuller but the wallet grows thinner 3 The Prophet of Doom The world's in a bad way he'll let you know Crime is rampant and growing worse America is losing prestige overseas Taxes are mounting to confiscatory levels Salt is entering our water supplies And if you think it's all bad now wait til next year As you listen note the expressions on the faces of the well-heeled well-fed well-dressed listening and realize that they will all be back next week same time same place looking just as prosperous despite the speaker's warnings of imminent world collapse 4 The His name is not quite so big but his paunch is much bigger than during his playing days He'll give you an intimate view of the 1937 Yankees the 1946 Trojans the 1961 Snarks or of which teams figure in the current standings He'll even go out on a as they say in the business to predict who'll win the pennant play in the Rose Bowl or wind up as Manager of the Year His personal stories may make you wonder how any team managed to defeat his back in the good old days of sport when a four minute mile really meant thing But don't write down his predictions You may decide to bet on them 5 The Look Where I've He's come Vietnam after 10 days from New York after a from Europe 10 countries in 21 days or from Washington he passed the White he's an expert Get ready for a rehash of what you read in Newsweek the National Geo- graphic or Life He read it too on the plane going and coming but now the magazine opinions are his very own for an intimate view of the national or foreign scene from a man who now knows whereof he speaks 6 The Local Boy Made Good You remember him as a sophomore at old Pasadena Junior College but look at him Vice president of Associated Geometries million a year net or the Governor's newest appointee to investigate faddle He'll lay it on the line no holds barred all spades called spades all chips permitted to fall where they may The sweet smell of success makes an ex- luncheon speech It's good to see an old friend home but you hope his stay won't be long especially on the speaker's rostrum 7 The Wit His stable of stories smell like well a stable He has a comment on every facet of can life He'll have you in you'll forget every story by 3 p.m Maybe just half a wit is more accurate 8 The Political Reporter He's in office now as a senator representative assemblyman or supervisor And he's home to mend fences also known as seeing my old friends again He'll furnish you with the inside story on activities at the seat of government You may have read the story in the paper a month ago but don't worry his version won't be the or as factual His party happens to be doing a cent job right at present as always and if it for those dirty Democrats Republicans the country would get back on an even keel Incidentally he's running again next year and needs campaign tions But don't stop him after the meeting and ask about that problem you wrote him about He's Ing to another meeting
