M! 1984 Really Be uke? "Tomorrow's office may not feature a computer built like a secretary, but there will be sweeping changes In the work-a-day environment of millions of Americans." New York (NAPS) - You may have believed Ripley ? or not, but with today's (an to morrow's) rocketing rate of change, almost anything can happen by 1984. By then, man may resolve at least this ma jor problem: he and his ma chines will accept each other's little faults. Brainpower, now being focused on dilemmas such as the blue collar worker In an automated society or on management's own serious adjustment problems, can then be trained on creative taskf . A new magazine, Modern Industry, sees sweeping changes In the work environ ment, as well as dramatic opportunities to sweep away today's acute problems in transportation, air pollution, qfllc? management. What 'will life be like In the office and factory environ ments In which millions of Americans spend w "much of their waking lives?

His teen-age pupils are lough, tough and untidy youngsters whose manners and attitudes portray the worst of the: modern-day youth.
