* A motion picture with scenes filmed
in our New York and Executive Offices
will soon be shown around the country.
Entitled "Inc.," it has been produced
by the American Institute of CPAs as a
recruiting film to replace "CPA," the
Institute film in circulation for the past
eight years. Photo shows camera on location
in our New York Office staff room.
The H&S offices were chosen by the
film director for qualities that met technical
requirements in film-making. E.O.
partners Gordon Murray and Colin
Park, and Frank Devonald, New York
Office MAS consultant, were asked to
take speaking parts in a brief sequence.
The Firm was pleased to help the Institute
in this project for the benefit of
the profession as a whole. We went to
considerable lengths during the filming
to prevent Haskins & Sells from being
identified in any way.
The film will be seen at many state
CPA society and chapter meetings and
in schools next fall.
* Checking around for Footnotes contributions
last Fall our correspondent
in one office got a suggestion from a
fairly recent arrival on the staff: He
had seen in an earlier column excerpts
FOOTNOTES
from the rating sheets that seniors in
another office had filled out on their assistants'
personal attributes, and he volunteered
to compile ratings in the other
direction—of seniors by an assistant and
his compatriots. Happily, the judgment
is preponderantly favorable.
• Knows what he is doing.
• Handles our relations with the client
well.
• Makes you want to ask questions by
readily and willingly answering them,
(this is very important).
• Makes you feel at ease.
• Shows good judgment and exercises it.
• Enjoyable to work with.
• Places confidence in you, your work
and your judgment.
• Gives either not enough or else too
much instruction.
• Is quick to point out your weaknesses
but does not give notice to your better
points.
• The following moves have occurred
since publication of our last issue:
Pietro U. Alessandri, staff accountant,
from Boston to Providence; Marshall L.
Hamilton, staff accountant, from Houston
to Phoenix; Roy B. Kain, Jr., staff
accountant, from Chicago to Phoenix;
John W. Nixon, consultant (MAS), from
Miami to San Francisco; Francis J.
Thomason, manager (MAS), from Denver
to San Francisco.
* Have you read any good books lately
—books you would like to share with
others in H&S? If so, send us a short
book review—about 500 words should
do it. Any book will be fine, other than
books about accounting. Don't hesitate
to criticize; readers will want your opinion.
If it's fiction, include a story summary,
but don't give away a surprise
ending. If it's non-fiction, tell whether
or not you think the author fulfills his
purpose and why. This is an invitation
to all H&S people —and their husbands
or wives. To make the Summer Issue,
reviews must be received by May 27,
addressed to H&S Reports, Haskins &
Sells, 2 Broadway, New York, N. Y.
10004.
* Eyes wearied by looking at tax returns
are offered relief with the following
story, which needs only a little
punctuation (solution on page 27):
John where James had had had
had had had had had had had had a
better effect on the teacher.
