Joe Smith, the man of the hour, almost got his name placed in nom ination at the GOP conven tion in San Francisco as a candidate for V.P. But hoping j'doesn't do any good for 1.500,000 Smiths about in the U. S. Thinking about this. I fell to digging through my library and found a book written awhile back by my friend H. Allen last name of Smith. Allen got to looking through the record and discovered that somebody, way back, had writ ten a book about buttons. That, he thought, interested hardly anybody but vcollectors of but tons. There must be more Smiths in the world than collectors of but tons, he thought. So my friend set to work collecting informa tion about the clan Smith. People Named Smith II took a bit of time, but he came up with a volume called "People Named Smith." He found only "two alleged books" about Smiths. One of them was published around the turn of the century, and Allen remarked that this was put out by a "re tarded eighth grader." It was a pamphlet. Only five or six pages cents for your copy of this won derful book right away! of Smiths. The second was no improvement. H. Allen Smith is no holder back when it comes to getting I the family name in print. His book runs zoo pages and there are any number of Smiths of all kinds mentioned on every page. That adds up to the thousands. "The Smiths of this world are common only in the sense that they are numerous. It is a large subject," Allen says. Allen has little truck with what he. likes to call the "hy brid Smiths," the "almost Smiths" and the "hyphenated Smiths." He claims that the Smith clan not only is the leader of names in the U.S., but also in Britain. In this country, the Smiths are followed by the Johnsons and the Browns and where do you reckon the Nelsons wind up? Twentieth, that's where! Just a Mention While he was fretting with his volume, Allen had a lot of fun with a fellow from Omaha. Hiis gent wanted very much to be mentioned. The Nebraska man said that in 1941 he had put aside a sup ply of popcorn, unpopped, con sisting of 36 one-pound sacks. This clown popped and ate, dishpan full by dishpan full, every kernel of this corn in three and a half months. It turned out to be something of a new indoor record, according to Smith. The popper and eater wouldn't have gotten into the volume unless his name had been Sam you-know-what. There are other Smiths. Allen reports that Abigail Adams was the first "Smith" ever to act as mistress of the Wednesday. Auoust 29, 1358 MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Automation Said To Be Inadequate Chicago OJ.R! An industrial research man warns that auto mation is no substitute for the "old-fashioned, sound, engineer ing approaches" to production problems. George C. Ensign, director of research for the Elgin National Watch Co., expressed this opin ion at a conference on automa tion sponsored by Armour Re search Foundation of the Illinois Institute .of Technology. Ensign said automation holds a "very bright" promise for the future, but he added: "We may so complicate cer tain processes by over-automatizing that we may . . . add to capital investment and mainte nance cost to the point where automation actually becomes unprofitable. "There are still areas in man ufacturing where we are not ready to apply automation, yet often tremendous improvement in efficiencies can be made in these areas by the application of some sound, old-fashioned ideas of making a better tool or a bet ter' arrangement of the job to permit an operator to worfk more efficiently." White House. She was the wife of the second president John Adams. Abigail was born Smith. "And how about this Joe Smith?" I called Allen on the long distance and asked him how many Joes run around wearing the last name of Smith? "Golly," the old reporter said, "there must be several." According to the mail, there sure must be. WITNESSES GALORE Grand Rapids. Mich.
