Co-author of the current briefhand text is Dr. E. C. McGill, assistant to the president at SOC. Briefhand is an abbreviated longhand, using only the 26 letters of the alphabet. It en tails only five lessons of the ory and can be learned by any longhand writer of virtually any age or level of intelli gence. This course is designed to fill a multitude of needs, Mrs. Christlieb explained, saying that its personal advantages BUSINESS MEN! MANUFACTURERS!

Briefhand may be learned in six weeks or less, depend ing upon the amount of time devoted to it daily and may be typewritten as readily as it can be written with a pen or pencil. Although this system can be written in excess of 100 words per minute, its greatest con tribution lies in the ease with which it can be learned, the speed and accuracy with which it can be transcribed, and the adaptability of it to any specialized vocabulary. "Those interested in taking a course in briefhand should contact the college registrar for further information, Mrs. Christlieb said. were reported: Diamond National Corp. of New York was about to con clude an agreement to build a new factory at Elsfleth, on the River Weser, to manufacture food containers. The American-owned Europa Carton, Inc., was located in the area some time ago. California Getraenke, Ltd., owned by Vanderbilt Rubber and Tire Corp. of New York, was to build a new soft drink bottling plant in Duesseldorf. It already has one in Muel heim. Partnership The Tennessee Eastman Co. of Kingsport, Tenn., has formed a partnership with a German firm to build a plant for the reproduction of poly ester fibers. So far, little American money has been invested in Germany's raw material in dustries. A great deal has gone, however, into oil re fining. ' A network of pipelines and refineries, all partly American-owned, is spreading from Hamburg and Wilhelmshaven south and east to and beyond the Rhine river. . American companies long have been among the big five of German auto making. Ford was founded by the American company between the World Wars, and about the same time Adam Opel Incv was bought by General Motors. The recent surge of invest ment was sparked by the development of theTDuropean Economic Community or, the Common Market. The six members - France, West Germany, Italy, Hol land,. Belgium and Luxem bourg - form a potential mar ket almost as large as the United States. The drive to eliminate customs duties among these six has been ac celerated, as has the drive .towards, establishing a com mon tariff towards states out side the Common Market club. , Evolution of the Common Market meant two things to the American businessman possible exclusion if he manu factured outside it, possible great benefits if he produced inside it.' . Small Market Before establishment of the Common Market, most Ameri can businessmen considered any one of these six countries offered too small a market. But together, the six offer an enormous potential market in which the demand for mod ern appliances generally , is still unsatisfied. For that reason, most of the new American investment in Germany is in the manufac ture of consumer goods or items directly related to re tailing. Food processing is a fav orite field. One of the more surprising sights of the coun try is the ultra-modern Kraft cheese' plant rising suddenly out of the sand hills north of Hannover. The degree to which this investment represents a drain on the American balance of payments is. a matter of dis pute. Most German business men insist it is a drain. Ameri can bankers here claim that most of the money Americans have invested was borrowed in Germany. They add that so far few of the profits earned here have' been sent to the United States, but generally have been reinvested. A record 2,750,000,000 Christmas cards are expected to go through the United States mails this year. Lough Neach in Northern Ireland, largest lake in the British Isles, has an area of 155 square miles. MAKE IT A SOCIABLE WEEKEND Pick up on Extra rfHth ?)
