PENALTY OF
LEADERSHIP
I
N every field of human endeavor, he that is first must perpetually live
in the white light of publicity. VWhether the leadership be vested
in a man or in
a manufactured product, emulation and envy are ever at
work. TIn art. in literature, in music, in industry,
the reward and the
punishment are always the same. VThe reward is widespread recog-
nition;
the punishment, fierce denial and detraction. TWhen a man's
work becomes a standard
for the whole world, it also becomes a target
for the shafts of the envious few. BIf his work be merely mediocre,
he
will be left severely alone - if he achieve a masterpiece, it will set a million
tongues a-wagging. vealousy does not protrude its forked tongue at
the artist who produces a commonplace painting. VWhatsoever you
write, or paint,
or play, or sing, or build, no one will strive to surpass, or
to slander you, unless your work be stamped with the seal of genius.
lbng, long after a great work or a
good work has been done, those who
are disappointed or envious continue to cry out that it can not be done.
ISpiteful
little voices in the domain of art were raised against our own
Whistler as a mountebank, long after the big world had acclaimed him
its greatest artistic genius. fMultitudes flocked to Bayreuth
to worship
at the musical shrine of Wagner, while the little group of those whom he
had dethroned and displaced argued angrily that he was no musician at
all.
TThe little world continued to protest that hlton could never
build
a steamboat, while the big world flocked to the river banks to see
his boat steam by. YThe leader is assailed because he
is a leader, and
the effort to equal him
is merely added proof of that leadership. qFailing
to equal
or to excel, the follower seeks to depreciate and to destroy - but
only confirms once more the superiority of that which
he strives to
supplant. (There is nothing new
in this. (It is as old as the world
and as old
as the human passions - envy, fear, greed, ambition, and the
desire to surpass. IAnd it all avails nothing. BIf the leader truly
leads, he remains -the leader. TIMaster-poet, masterpainter, master
workman, each in his turn is assailed, and each holds his laurels through
the ages. ?That which
is goad or great makes itself known, no matter
how loud the clamor of denial. TThat which deserves to live- lives.

two decades. This

Engineering innovations, con-
veniences and styling dominated the
'50s and '60s. Cruise control, auto-
matic climate control,
tilt and
telescoping steering wheels, twilight
sentinel and four door hard tops all
debuted in these years. In

the heating elements are thermostatically regulated to automatica\

A telltale light in the
control switch reminds you that the heating system is in use. To preserve
the battery, the heated seats can only be used when
the ignition is turned

Head Restraints

Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the restraint is
closest to the top of your ears.
This position reduces the chance
of a neck injury in a crash. The head
restraints tilt forward and rearward also.
SAFETYBELTS: THEY’RE FOR EKERYONE
This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts properly. It also
tells you some things you should not do with safety
belts.
And it explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint, or “air bag”
system.

A CAUTION:
Don’t let anyone ride where they cadt wear a safety beIt
properly. If you are in a crash and you’re not wearing a safety
belt, your injuries can be much worse, You can hit things inside
the vehicle or be ejected from it. You can be seriously injured or
killed. in the same crash, you might not be if you are buckled
up. Always fasten your safety belt, and check that your
passengers’ belts are fastened properly too.
This figure lights up when you turn the key to “Run” or “Start” when
your safety belt isn’t buckled, and you’ll hear a chime,
too. It’s the
reminder to buckle up.
In many states and Canadian provinces, the law
says to wear safety belts.
Here’s
why: They work.
You never know
if you’ll be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you don’t
know
if it will be a bad one.
A few crashes are very mild. In them, you won’t get hurt even if you’re
not buckled up. And some crashes can be
so serious, like being hit by a
train, that even buckled up a person wouldn’t survive.
But most crashes
are
in between. In many of them, people who buckle up can survive and
sometimes
walk away. Without belts they could be badly hurt or killed.
After
25 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear. In most
crashes buckling
up does matter ... a lot!

required the use of safety belts. Even if you're in a vehicle that has ''
air bags," YOU still have to buckle up to get the most protection.
That's true not only in frontal collisions, but especially in side and
other collisions.
Q: IfI'm a good driver, and I never drive farfiom home, why should I wear
safety
belts?
A: You may be an excellent driver, but if you're in an accident -- even
one that isn't your fault -- you and your passengers can be hurt.
Being a good driver doesn't protect you from things beyond your
control, such as bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within
25 miles (40 km) of home. And the greatest
number
of serious injuries and deaths occur at speeds of less than 40 mph
(65 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.

sound.
If you don’t, the adjustment feature won’t set, and you’ll have
to start again.
5. Now you can add a small amount of slack. Lean forward slightly, then
sit back. If
you’ve added more than 1 inch (25 mm) of slack, pull the
shoulder belt out
as you did before and start again.
If
you move around in the vehicle enough, or if you pull out the shoulder
belt, the belt
will become tight again. If this happens, you can reset it.

Air bags inflate with great force, faster than the blink of an eye.
If you’re too close to an inflating air bag, it could seriously
injure
you. Safety belts help keep you in position for an air bag
inflation in a crash. Always wear your safety belt, even with an
air bag, and the driver
should sit as far back as possible while
still maintaining control of the vehicle.
A CAUTION:
An inflating air bag can seriously injure small chiIdren. Always
secure children properly in your vehicle. Tu read how, see the
“Children
and Safety Belts’’ section of this manual, and read
the caution
label on the front-passenger% safety belt.
