It happened this way: In those dayi when the Nazis were blitz krieging France and the Red Cross was bemoaning the fact that money from its current campaign was not readily avail able, the Texan wrote the treas ury department with a plan for financing immediate Red Cross aid. The letter went Into Gaston's office, where thousands of let ters are received daily. One of Gaston's assistants read it and answered with one of those form let.ers you know, 202A something to the effect that "Your suggestion has been received and filed for con sideration by the proper author ity." The Texan was a bit miffed but did nothing about it until he ran across one of these col umns, in which the story oi James F. Grady was told the man who is slowly revolution izing contact of government de partments with the public by teaching thousands of clerks and assistants how to write courteous and intelligent letters. The Texan wrote Grady, stat ing his case and saying that here seemed to be a splendid exam ple of how not to answer a cour teous suggestion. Grady, knowing Gaston per sonally, telephoned him with the idea of ribbing him. but Gaston refused to rib. He In sisted that Grady have a talk with him. The talk lasted a couple of hours and as a result there s a new set-up in Gaston's office. Thinas aren't done there any more as they used to be done and the gentleman in Texas will be haDDV to know that nobody else will catch form 202A if he writes in with a good suggest ion.
