We habitually live and move as part of a group and participate with
others in common matters, and socially, politically or
business-wise are required from time to time to make ourselves
heard. The better a man makes himself heard, the more he is heeded.
The man capable of expressing his ideas clearly commands the
attention of Management and the Board of Directors. As one of these
gregarians you also are apt at some time to be called upon to tell
an audience your name or your line, or to introduce a fellow human
at a meeting. With social progress you could eventually become
Program Chairman, Toastmaster, preside as President, or even be the
person referred to when someone else says, "I'm proud to present
and you'll be happy to hear Mr. Narrator, our principal speaker
today." Every day of every week from lobster luncheons in Maine to
sand dab dinners in San Diego, luncheon groups, dinner forums,
supper clubs and countless legions and lodges hold regular
meetings. Most of them feature individuals who must know something
about the cardinal fundamentals of public speaking. How to present
an idea interestingly is the elusive goal of many but the coveted
secret of few. Yet it's an ability within the reach of all of us to
add wit and sparkle to our talk. Some people are blessed with
perfect timing, in tune with every passing phase and sufficiently
well adjusted to meet the fluctuations of fate. These fortunate few
require no help, but most of us need a prop, a pitch-pipe, a ready
reference, and for these this handbook hopes to be helpful. We hope
you also will find that this book is factual and thorough without
sacrificing readability; find it entertaining while informative,
and find that it answers questions which plague anyone who must
express himself publicly. The combination of fact and fancy in this
work adds up to an inspirational source book for speakers and
writers, ad men and gag men, comedians and campaigners. It aims as
well to help Governors and governed; Mr. Big and Mr. Little, bosses
and the bossed, politicians and the public (in fact, anyone who'll
buy the book), and to add spark to any speeches. A final chapter is
reserved for "rookie" raconteurs. It embodies a summary of years
the author spent in swapping windies with Westerners and tall tales
with Texans, and assembling stories from many walks of life and
applying humor to human events
