AVALANCHE OF WHITE IN MIMEO. DEPT.
We are sure that few, if any, de- partments realize the volume of work that goes through our mimeographing department. Mrs. Ruth Lively and Mrs.
Rosemary Nelson report that for a three- month period, September, October and November, 1964, 54,950 sheets of paper were run plus 2,855 postal cards and 4,165 cards of other sizes.
February 1965, with only 28 days, was even busier with 70,000 sheets of paper used and an additional 70,000 sheets ordered, plus the usual amount of cards. After viewing the avalanche of white in the mimeographing d~part- ment and the drifts of white outside, we dare to hope that February was not a "typical" month.
