Career Secretary Traits Outlined Chicago (IP) A sociologist says a career secretary must have all of the attributes of a good Girl Scout. She must be courteous, thoughtful, loyal, dependable, tactful and responsible all this, and human, too. , B. C. McCall, a social re search consultant, said a suc cessful boss-secretary relation ship can require as much time and effort as a successful mar riage. McCall reached these con clusions after conducting a study for American Photo copy Equipment Co. He interviewed 250 bosses and secretaries representing various parts of the country and various types of business. A good secretary wears many hats, McCall said. She must be: A "boss-freer." An ac complished organizer, she should free her boss from rou tine and administrative de tails. An administrative assist ant. She should have the ini tiative and ability to make decisions in her boss' absence, within limits. A confidante and adviser. She should combine the tra ditional feminine quality of a responsive ear with the rather less traditional one of discre tion. An informed member of the company. She must be well-versed in the technical jargon of the business.

The campaign is being spearheaded by the Medford Automobile Dealers associa tion and supported by the combined efforts of the Jack son County Chamber of Com merce, business leaders and civic officials. The slogan is intended to convey the basic concept of "cars and confidence" and to allow for community - wide support and participation in the program. Keep Economy Strong Hugh Coleman and Darrell Miller, cochairman of the 10-day drive which starts May 1, said if "Medford is to grow and prosper, we need to keep the economy strong with the lifeblood of com merce, the flow and exchange of dollars for goods and serv ice." "We can contribute to the strength of the economy by maintaining our normal pur chasing pattern," they point ed out. "It is only when we fail to make these necessary, planned purchases that we upset this balance of com merce." The cochairmen p o i n te d out that everyone will benefit from the campaign the pur chasing public, the media, the community, and the auto mobile dealers. Purchasing Public The purchasing public will receive value for money spent, plus the change to fur ther help the total economy by release of more dollars, and the opportunity to par ticipate in various contests in connection with the cam paign. The media benefits, they said, through stimulation of the local business com munity, without which they could not continue to operate. Revenue derived from ad vertising of the sponsoring and supporting groups also benefits the community. The community itself bene fits by the business activity generated. It will see the benefit through an estimated $10,000 cash outlay which will be spent almost immedi ately, plus the far-reaching effects of the retail buying during the 10 days and be yond. Communiiy Relations Automobile dealers will benefit directly by new and used cars sales, plus the com munity relations f a ct o r of having started a retail buy ing trend in the valley. It also will serve to establish great er confidence by the public in car dealers andsalesmen, and strengthen the dealer or ganization by group participa tion in a project of mutual concern. Dealers pointed out that there are several reasons why "You Auto Buy Now." They include: Bank terms are at lowest interest ever. Reduced rates make payment program less costly. Local economy is strong and growing. Business starts, building permits and other in dicators point to this. Saving Accounts Higher savings accounts then ever before can be brought into circulation. Vitality of -the huge auto motive employment force will reflect on every other business in the community. "No business itands alone," they noted. The national economy can only reflect the strength of the local economy, and by boosting ourselves, we de monstrate a confidence in the national well-being. "We all have a stake in the job of 'Keeping Medford Growing' through' communi ty - wide self-help program," they said. 1856 Melodecn Sought By Wisconsin Officials Watertown, Wis. IP Town officials are looking for an 1856 "melodeon" to com plete the furnishings of a shrine commemorating the first kindergarten in the coun try. The melodeon, a small reed organ, was used by Mrs. Mar- arethe Schurz, who taught the first kindergarten class here 101, years ago. Her husband, Carl Schurz, later was secre tary of state and a U. S. Sen ator from Missouri. The shrine is open to the public. Wax figures of the original six children and their teacher are inside the small building. Average House Has 103 Pounds of Dirt Saw-Timber-Size Trees in Balance Cloquet. Minn. TO--For the first time this century Ameri ca's annual growth volume of saw-size trees-rlarge enough to make lumber for homes is virtually in balance with re moval, the Minnesota Commit tee of American Forest Prod ucts Industries sid. Raymond J. Wood, chair man of the committee, said commercial forests in the United States are growing enough sawtimber each day to build 15,500 new one-family frame houses. Wood said the brightest-star on the timber horizon is rapid growth of young m forests. Latest figures show,' he said, that annual timber growth on trees five inches and over in diameter is 25 per cent great er than removal by harvest and all other causes fire, in sects and diseases. Steam Engine Made At Home as Hobby Chattanooga, Tenn. (IP) Floyd Messer always has liked steam engines so he made one at his home as a hobby. Messer collected parts from many places and welded many of them himself. His engine is made up - of about 85 per cent automobile parts ranging from a hydraulic brake cylin der to heavy duty tires. The home-made engine can go about 10 miles an hour. When Messer takes it out for a spin, the neighborhood young sters come running. Messer says that all his life he wanted to mke a steam en gine "to prove to myself that I did know how." The first balloon tires were introduced on U. S. cars in 1922. Chicago (W The average six-room house in a metropoli tan area collects 108 pounds of dirt per year, a study shows. Almost 53 tons of dirt fell per month on every square mile of Chicago during 1956. And residents of Los Angeles, New York and other major cities were bombarded by similar amounts. These amounts were com piled by Servicemaster, a na tional home furnishings care organization dedicated to cleanliness. Suburban and small town dwellers don't have it as bad as citizens of big cities, but the dustfall even in rural areas is considerable, the study showed. Servicemaster said that the American public spends more than two billion dollars an nually in cleaning and repair bills, to say nothing of expen diture of elbow grease. The real villain isn't the dust that shows up plainly on polished table tops. It's the Two Hours Needed To Start Fire in House Battle Creek, Mich. (ffl It took two hours and seven cans of kerosene to get a fire going in a condemned house so the local firemen could practice latest fire fighting techniques. "It is difficult to get a fire going in an empty house," Assistant Fire Chief Don Burrows explaned. "atmospheric soil" that lodges in carpets, upholstered furni ture and draperies, the com pany said. "Atmospheric soil" means the oily film from cooking, heating, industrial waste, au tomobile exhaust and other sources. Carpets should be kept free of fiber-cutting grit by vac uuming the entire carpet twice a week, Servicemaster said, and by vacuuming traf fic areas daily. Keep Medford's Economy!
