HE President of the United States, whose persona? habits and digestive system are constantly raked by the spotlight of publicity, has recently been the subject of an interview with his son on How Ike Rates ns a Father.

How he rates turns out to be very high indeed, governing his paternal con- duct by a five-point rule of life-be a good listener; share, activities; lead, don't die- tate; be thoughtful; and be firm, but friendly.

How many English papas, thought- ful, firm, friendly and essentially undicta- torial, take their responsibilities any fur- ther than providing the money and let- ting their wives, get on with the job?

A total of 116 firms obtained Official Timing Certificates last year. The total number of Certificates for Gents' watches delivered to the entire Swiss watch industry was 78,668 last year, which represents a vast advance over the previous year of 1955 when 57,748 were produced. The increase in the produc- tion of Genta' chronometers last year is proportionately higher than the increase in the total production of the Swiss watch industry for 1956 compared to 1955. This fact clearly shows that more and more manufacturers realize the importance of chronometer production.

In spite of this intensive competition, Rolex were able to maintain their first position with a total of 41.92% of the entire chronometer production of the Swiss watch industry!
