MACHINES IMPROVED:
Free Time in Sight for Secretaries

!I

Reason
A woman in a hurry raced
into the local police traffic bu-
reau early this week, quickly
paid three parking tickets, then
raced out.
To the bewildered clerk be-
hind the desk she explained as
she left: "My car is parked in
a 'No Parking' zone."

Willow Run
Holiday Bus

By BOB KANY
Secretaries have a lot more free
time now that new office machines
are on the market.
Many of these modern devices
and new improvements on older
machines are now being displayed
at the eighth annual business ma-
chine and supply exhibit in the
Rackham Bldg.
* * *
THE MACHINES, products of
23 local and national suppliers, are
valued at $75,000 and can do al-
most everything but talk.
Television, for instance, has
hit the modern office. A secre-
tary whose employer asks her
to show him a file from a com-
pany has only to place the file
on the sending machine In her
office while the boss sits back
and views it on a receiving
screen.
For an organization such as the
University, which sends out a
great many duplicate letters, there
is a typewriter which types auto-
matically from tape after the orig-
inal copy is made. This machine
,can type up to fifty letters per
hour.
Another improvement in type-
writers is the proportional spac-
ing technique used in the latest
electric machines. A two-ounce
touch is all that is needed to op-
erate this machine.
EVEN though electricity is still
being used to a great extent, elec-
tronics is now coming into its own.
Electronic calculating ma-
chines can compare 2,396 11-
digit numbers per second, as well
as add, subtract, multiply, di-
vide, duplicate and sort them
alphabetically. With all these
qualifications, many man-hours
will certainly be saved.
Another new feature in calcu-
lating machines is a 10-digit ma-
chine to replace the 100-digit old-
fashioned calculator, while a pho-
to-copy duplicating machine on
exhibit is capable of reproducing
three business letters a minute.
The exhibit will continue today
from 1 to 5 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m.,
with a movie on the development
of electronics being shown at 4 and
8 p.m.
Herbert Jennings, '54BAd, is
chairman of the display, which is
sponsored by the business admin-
istration school.
Construction
Work on Union '
Nearly Done '
Construction of the new Union
student and business offices will
be completed by the end of De-
cember, Union general manager
Frank C. Kuenzel said yesteaday.
Finishing touches to the recent-
ly-widened corridor leading past
the main desk will be completed
by the end of the week, he added.
The main desk has been length-
ened and a long new desk nearby
will facilitate registration at con-a
ventions and football ticket re-I
sales.
Fireproof acoustical ceiling and
floor tile have arrived and will beI
added to the new offices.,
Family Dinner
To Be Shared
Once again, the Internationalt
Center is placing foreign students
in Ann Arbor homes for Thanks-
giving dinner.
Now in its seventh year, the
program has never failed to placet
a student who wished to spend the
holiday in an American home.
More than 50 students have not

yet been placed, Mrs. Kathleen
M. Mead, house director of the In-
ternational Center and chairman
of the program, said yesterday.
Local families wishing to invite
foreign students to share their
Thanksgiving may call Mrs. Mead
at NO 3-1511, extension 358, no
later than today.

TURKEY-TALK:
Domestic Turkey Subs
For Original Wild Fowl

By DEBRA DURCHSLAG
Here is an early Thanksgiving
story.
The wild turkey has disappeared
from Michigan, according to Prof.
Warren W. Chase of the depart-
ment of wildlife management, and
it doesn't look as if it will return.
* ' * *
BACK IN THE days, of Mar-
quette and Joliet, great flocks of
wild turkeys roamed the plains for
food. In fact, the Indians called
October "turkey month" because
of the birds' wide ranging.
In La Salle's description of the
Great Lakes region in 1679, he
mentioned the "numbers oftur-
keys" seen. According to Prof.
Chase, the birds remained abun-
dant until the middle 1800's.
Then civilization made its well-
known inroads, and the species
slowly became extinct.
The birds were originally found
in the southern half of the lower
peninsula. Where Ann Arbor and
Detroit now stand, wild turkeys
once looked for grain, acorns,
nuts, berries, grasshoppers and
large insects.
* * *
MARKET hunting pushed the
turkey flocks back to the hard-
wood swamps of the Saginaw-
Thumb areas. By 1894, says Prof.
Chase, the wild turkey was "just
a memory."
Attempts have been made to
Band To Seek
l1ore Talent
First rehearsal of the Wolverine
Band will be held at 4:15 p.m.'
Monday in the band room of Ann
Arbor High School.
The band, which plays for all
home basketball games as well as
giving several concerts, is open to
any scholastically eligible student
who has had some previous exper-
ience with a band instrument.
According to conductor George R.
Cavender, the band offers an op-
portunity for students with only
a little time to spare to continue
their musical, interests.
Rehearsals are held every Mon-
day and Thursday afternoons. All
students interested in joining may
attend the first meeting or con-
tact Cavender.

re-establish the wild turkey in
Michigan, but no successful way
has been found to bring the
birds back. Wild turkey was
once stocked on Grand Island,
in Lake Superior just off Muni-
sing, Mich., but the colony did
not last.
In 1932 the conservation de-
partment decided to abandon fur-j
ther- attempts, but experimental
raising and stocking are still being
tried at the W. K. Kellogg Bird
Sanctuary north of Battle Creek,
Mich.
Although hunters regret the loss!
of the wild turkey, the domestic
turkey is found to be satisfactory
at most Thanksgiving dinners.
Lawson Cites
Advancement
In Civil Law
The civil, or codified, law has
developed mainly from within it-
self, Prof. Prederick H. Lawson of
Oxford University said yesterday
in discussing advances made be-
yond the Roman law.
There was very little deviation
from the letter of the old law, he
expained, following with an ex-
ample of contracts which had
been interpreted strictly. The
English barrister cited the ten-
dency of the older law to think
only of the terihs of the contract
itself, ihstead of the reasons be-{
hind its making. This view has
mainly given way, he pointed out.}
In the final lecture of the Thom-,
as M. Cooley series at 4:15 p.m. to-
day in Rm. 12O Hutchins Hall,
Prof. Lawson will discuss non-
Roman elements in the civil law.
Crar To Speak
About Arab World
Prof. Douglas D. Crary of the
geography department will speak
on "The Geographical Importance
of the Arab World," at 8 p.m. to-
day in Rm. 3B of the Union.
The program. sponsored by the
Arab Club, is open to the public.
