But Not Forgotten]
Recently the Employee Relations
Office had an inquiry related to this
year's Night Owl Club trip to White
Lake. The trip had already taken
place so the Employee Relations
representative could only express
regrets to the caller.
The Night Owl Club is interested
in locating the caller, a mother who
lost a child to sickel cell anemia and
has another child with the trait.
If this mother recognizes herself in
this description, please call
Employee Relations, 6^-6037, and
leave your name and phone number.
There is still the possibility the club
can share an outing with you and
your child.

OMIT NEEDLESS WORDS
Professor William Stmnk, Jr. notes
that "a sentence should contain no
unnecessary words, a paragraph no
unnecessary sentences, for the same
reason that a drawing’ should have
no unnecessary lines and a machine
no unnecessary parts."
The following phrases in italics are
wordy; those in parentheses convey
the same meaning briefly, accurately:
* Due to the fact (Because)
* He is a person who (He)
It gives me great pleasure (1 am
pleased)
* hi the near future (Soon)
* Feel free to ask us (Ask)
* It is my considered opinion (I
believe)
There is no doubt f/iaf (Doubtless)
* Or in other words (Or)
