Secretary's Life Now Softer
Pity the poor secretary! Especially when she takes a letter from the boss and he says, "Send individually typed letters to each of the following 50 persons."
Mrs. Mamie Shipley, manager of the stenographic bureau of the University Press, gets many such jobs. But last spring the bureau acquired a new machine which makes them fascinating instead of boring.
The flexowriter, an automatic typewriter can type individual letters in half the time it takes the average stenographer to do it.
This machine punches a tape as an IBM machine punches a card. After the original letter is typed, the tape is fed back through the machine, which decodes the tape and retypes the letter as many times as necessary without errors.
Kelly, Stewart Picked As Best
NEW YORK (U.P.)-Film exhibitors in the United States and Canada have selected Grace Kelly and James Stewart as the leading actress and actor of 1955 in the annual poll conducted by "Showmen's Trade Review," the weekly trade publication announced today.
The exhibitors selected "Mister Roberts," a Warner Brothers film, as leading motion picture of the year. The publication said, "A Man Called Peter." produced by 20th Century Fox. was named best family picture, and "Country Girl," a Paramount release, was picked as the film that drew the most comment for superior acting.
The exhibitors' votes are based on drawing power at the box office.

TOPEKA —(U.P.)— Ray Evans,
former Kansas football All-American,
has been appointed state
sports chairman for the 1956 March
of Dimes.
Mr. Evans, a Kansas City banker and member of the Kansas Board of Regents, will enlist the support of coaches and the Kansas sports public for funds to fight polio.

Mr. Evans' appointment was announced by J. Glenn Logan of Topeka, Kansas chairman of the March of Dimes.
In accepting his appointment, Mr. Evans said "Polio isn't licked yet and we can't quit the fight until the final whistle. The vaccine has put us near the goal but polio will still strike and add to the 68,000 victims needing March of Dimes aid."
