Extension Division To Offer Shorthand Those who wish to learn effi cient shorthand in a brief time will be interested in knowing that a new correspondence course in Thomas shorthand will shortly be offered by the University exten sion division. This two-term course will be taught by Edward Vietti, instructor in secretarial science at Oregon State college. The first term, practical appli cation of theory principles in sentence and letter dictation will be included; the second term, speed building is stressed in prep aration for a position in the busi ness world. Fast progress is said to be easy in this method of shorthand, which is readily learned, simple, and logical. The Thomas Natural shorthand system is reported to prepare the writer for unexpect ed phrases and unfamiliar terms; for you “write what you hear.” Advocates of the Thomas sys tem say that this type of short hand, based on already familiar writing lines, is written with a minimum of rules. Simplicity is the keynote of the system, which uses only 12 word' signs and pre sents its entire theory in only six units, easily mastered in only one semester of work. Modern and progressive, the Thomas system has been called the “stream-lined shorthand of the future.” Students praise it because the clear, definite sym bols are easy to transcribe.

Materials, thousands of carloads, for planes, tanks and guns must be rushed to production and assembly plants. Completed armament also must be transported. Union Pacific is powered to do the job. Twenty "Big Boys," largest steam locomotives ever built, have recently been added to the large fleet of other super-powered rail giants placed in service during the past five years. Millions of dollars also have been invested in freight cars, new rails and property improvements. For defense as well as industry's normal needs, Union Pacific —the Strategic Middle Route connecting East with West supplies the demand for dependable transportation.
