"They talk about gobblede gook," said Miss Sheppard. 'pri vate industry is afflicted with what I call commercialese. It's the same thing. The problem in business is no different than the problem in government. The same people who work today for government worked yesterday for industry. "We are living in a paper age. We are afflicted with automatic filing." Miss Sheppard warmed to her subject. She is an Alabama-born woman who in 22 years of al m o s t continuous government service kept her southern accent but neatly disposed of almost everything in the way of per sonal files. Few Personal Papers "I took less than one file draw er of personal papers with me when I left my government job," Miss Sheppard said. "Remarkable,". Emm.ett J. Leahy, president of the firm of management consultants which hired Miss Sheppard as a vice president, murmured admiring ly. Miss Shepaprd was inter viewed in, his office. "The average employee manu factures and files one file draw er of paper each year," Leahy added. "That is 3500 pieces of paper . . ." "And 3500 decisions some lit tle girl has to make to decide where to put it," Miss Sheppard interrupted. She had just returned from two days in Boston where ' she began a study of 90 miles of file drawers the state of Massachu setts wants cleaned out. In two hours she was leaving for her home in Bethesda, Md. "Stop filing all that junk!" is her cheerful command to paper logged business executives. Her southern accent, plus her conta gious enthusiasm for simplify ing business life, takes the edge off the brusque order. Wrote Three Booklets "The government alone sends out four million letters, a day," Miss Sheppard said. "A typical 175-word busines letter can cost anywhere from eight cents to $2.45 to write, depending on the time spent by the persons in volved. That doesn't include the cost of filing it." She became best known through three booklets she wrote for the government showing how to simplify letters, although as a "systems expert" she is con cerned with the quantity and efficiency of paper work as well as the quality. Her booklets ridicule such word-consuming expressions as "enclosed herewith please find" in business letters. She talked the Navy out of filing routine letters asking for servicemen's middle initials or discharge paper information and saved them an estimated 200,000 filed papers a year. She talked an insurance company out of al ways using the word "alleged" when referring to a policy hold er's accident. She says she never takes time to write personal letters.

GQ3Z ifft fifes ES OS Professor Talks For DAR Chapter "Education's role in protect ing America's future" was the subject of Dr. John D. McCauley when he spoke for Crater Lake chapter, Daughters of the Amer ican Revolution, last Saturday. The meeting was held in the home of Mrs. George R. Carter, 821 East Jackson boulevard. Dr. McCauley said there is a decided ' difference in the aims and purposes of education in the revolutionary and post-revolutionary era. The intent of the colonists was to teach reading in order that people could read the Bible, and that education was purely religious in purpose. The speaker gave Thomas Jef ferson credit for broadening the field of teaching to include the three R's as well as other sub jects in advanced education. Russia is using teachers throughout the world, to teach communism, the speaker de clared, and said this country should do likewise to spread democratic ideas. Mrs. Leslie E. Wilson and Mrs. Alice Alexander Arnold were guests. Assisting Mrs. Car ter in serving were Mrs. Carl Oestreich and Mrs. Jesse C. Long. Pouring were Mrs. Clar ence Pankey and Mrs. Stanley Chirgwin. jfjj "lll f r 18th Century chest in sofm. ''!5- ! VPmiF$ I tfc- IHl '' 5?
