Advises
That Junk'
has turned her house cleaning
talents to big busines, whirled
into town for two hours between
trains the other day. . .
"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.

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.
