Product Description
Every Sunday Harry Douglas Smith lectures more than a thousand men and women in world-famous Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. In his public work and in his private spiritual counseling, Dr. Smith has helped many men and women find their right places in life. Hundreds of thousands more find guidance and inspiration in his five days-a-week radio program "It's Time to Live!" His experiences have added a deep understanding to a work which demands the most compassionate yet most practical approach to common problems. He is a graduate of Whittier College. His graduation found him facing a world in depression. For a year he was a muralist with the WPA. He followed this by becoming an analyst with a Los Angeles investment firm. From there he went to Southern California Telephone Company, where he made forecasts of equipment needs. He was elected President of the union of all the commercial employees throughout Southern California. He was commisioned by the United States Navy, and served two of his three years in the South Pacific. Following the war he purchase a weekly newspaper which he published for two years, writing most of the news and ads for a full eight page paper. His editorials, showing his grasp of the significance of world trends as well as his sympathy for the individual and his problem, brought him to the attention of a philanthropist who urged him to go to Washington D.C. to get help for an emergency G.I. college that was about to be closed As a registered lobbyist in Washington, he was able to secure enough help to extend the life of the college until its more than 5000 ex-G.I.'s, were assimilated into other colleges and universities. On his return to Southern California he became an account executive in a Hollywood advertising agency. He was a candidate for Congress when, as he says, "I discovered my present work, and , you might say, it discovered me. We have been happy together ever since. I have found my right place in life." - from dustjacket
