WCommercial RITING in our issue for October 22, The Motor costs expert, S.T.R., suggested to lecture organizers that they might well make these gatherings something in the nature of social functions.
He pointed out that invitations should not be confined to members of any particular body under the auspices of which a lecture is being given. It should be made an open event, whilst ladies should not be excluded for, in a great many instances, it is a woman who keeps the books, if any.
As S.T.R. humorously puts it, invitations to events at which he is to lecture should be phrased in something like this form: "A bite and a sup— and that chap, S.T.R., of The Commercial Motor, will be there.". Strong support for this suggestion comes from the secretary of the Western Area of A.R.O., who says that he agrees with every word in the article, and thinks that the more informal the meetings are, the sooner is the objective likely to be attained.
