We've reformed the correction system.
Prisoners of old-fashioned correction systems, freedom is here.
Smith Corona's Correcting Cassette means an end to twists, tangles and fumbles.
There are no spools to unwind. No complicated threading. No more muttering under your breath. It's that simple.
It's an easy-to-load, drop-in correction tape you can insert in mere seconds.
What's just as simple is our Right Ribbon System." It simply prevents you from using the wrong combination of ribbon and correcting cassette.
You'll find our Correcting Cassette and Right Ribbon System on the Smith Corona SL 600 typewriter.
You'll also find lots of other
great features on the SL 600- like the Spell-Right" 50,000 word electronic dictionary, full line correction,WordEraser" and more.
You might expect a typewriter this sophisticated to cost a bundle, but the SL 600 is surprisingly affordable. All of which makes it one of the best values you can find today.
Case closed.

She is involved in other community services such as Audio Reader, which is a reading service transmitted for both visually impaired and physically handicapped people. She prepares her program from historical journals and books that she has read.
She also is county chair for the Douglas County-Wide Reading Program, which allows rural residents the opportunity to read even though a library may not be convenient for their use.

"My center is my family and my commitment is all bound up there." Willis said. "I've been determined to do my best and not make my family suffer."
And as far as her daughter is concerned, she's done just that.
"She's always encouraged me to do the things I like to do," said Kristin Lindsey, Willis' daughter. "She's always been there. I can't think of a time in my childhood when I was told that always put our needs before hers."
And the love and commitment doesn't stop there. Willits has a special relationship with Lindsey's 2-year-old son, Scottie Colman Diel.
"With him I am the best person I've ever been in my life," Willis tells. "Who ever thought a little tiny
person would be the person with the key? He has unlocked so many doors for me."
Tears came to Willis' eyes as she told of a time when Scottie knocked quietly on her door and then came running in and leaped into her arms.
"He put his chubby hands on each side of my face and said. "I will glad you're my jammie." Willis said. "You're not unreserved love I've ever known."

"When my son took geometry, he said he wanted a reason for taking it. And so we found some practical applications for it in his life.
"I don't have to take that step anymore because I automatically feel anything I learn, whether it's something I like or don't like, will be useful in some way," she said. "It is a part of who I am."

3 Topeka children hospitalized after house fire
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — A 9-year-old girl remained in serious condition and two other people were in fair condition yesterday, after four girls at a slumber party were trapped in a burning house.
Officials said Melissa Diggs, 9, was in serious condition and Anita Stuffiebean and her daughter, Brandy, who turned 10 today, were in fair condition at Topea hospitals.
Melissa was the last of the four girls trapped by the fire which caused at least $25,000 in damage to the west Topeka home owned by Anita Stuffiebean and her husband, Michael.
When the fire broke out after 1 a.m., the couple fled the house through a back door, called police, and had gone back to rescue the girls when Anita Stufflebean was overcome by smoke.
