Brief hand Course Set
For SOC Spring Term
Ashland - Briefhand, a new
business course, will be taught
at Southern Oregon college
spring term at 1 p.m., Mon
day, Wednesday and Friday
each week, according to Mrs.
Mary Christlieb, a member
of the business education de
partment. 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

make it ideal for students,
business executives, house
wives, salesmen, office work
ers, doctors, lawyers, en
gineers, newspaper reporters,
and anyone who can benefit
from writing 80 to 100 words
a minute or faster.
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.

Ireland, largest lake in the
British Isles, has an area of
