VICTOR PAIGE'S modestly titled lecture, "It's all, about people," was one of the most stimulating I have ever heard at the Chartered Institute of Transport. It deserved a far larger audience.
The National Freight Corporation's vice-chairman discussed compassionately the most fearful problem of our time — the effect on people of the full and logical development of advanced technology in a world with an ageing population.
He made no censorious judgments but painted a broad picture of trends in employment worldwide and then drew a miniature of conditions in transport.
CIT members who did not attend the meeting may read the paper in their journal, but they will not enjoy the warnth of Victor Paige's delivery. They may absorb some startling statistics and a great deal of other information, but the nuances conveyed by gesture and inflection will be missing. Victor is one of the most subtle and skilled artists in communication.
