New Testing
Center Opens
AT Memorial

An audiCinetric calibration cen
ter for checking the accuracy Of
instruments used In hearing tests
has been opened at Memorial Hos
pitaI.
It Is considered the most COM
piete center Of its kind south Of
the Bureau Of Standards ia Wash
inston. II has been set 10 under a
contract with the Bureau &c State
Services Of the U. S. Public
Health Service.
William q. Thomas, auaialOgist
and director Of the Speech and
Hearing Clinic at The hospital said
services win include the caIibra-
ton and basic repair Of al makes
Of audi0meters.
Services are available TO plly-
sicians, public schools, health de-
partments, other speech and hear
ing centers and other Oraaniza-
tons using audi0metric equip
ment.
The center is an outgroVth Of
a study about tive years ese Of
six audiometers in PittsbuEaA city
schools. All six Of the audiOnlet-
ers, used for testing students,
failed to meet national standards.
The first audiOmeter tested in
the new center here was f0snnd to
be so Inaccurate that, it could
not give a proper test. It had
been in use in q public school
system.
Mr.. Thomas said most audio-
meters stay in calibrati1n only
six months. Until the center open
ed here, the only place ID recall
brate the instruments was at the
factOry-which entailed shipping
procedures which could knock the
instrument out Of celebration on
the return trip.
It is estimated there are be.
tween $50 and 100 audsometers in
use in North Carolina, some Of
them never ealibrated and many
not checked for five or. six years.
The calibratioti center here will
serve dual purpose: to- put test
ing instruments back into Calibra.
ton; and 10 collect data on what
seems to cause audiOnetarS TO 90
out Of celebration and how mac.
citrate they become.
Mack Preslar, d research as
sistant at the center, said smother
research project IS planned. A
perfectly calihrated audiOrneter
win be shipped 10 Washington and
back to determine what effects
shipment have on calibration.
Costs Of establishing the new
calibratiOn center were estimated
at $2O.O0O.
Fees win be charged and the
time necessary for checking an
audiOmeter win vary from a half
day to two Days, depending on the
type Of instrument tested.
To protect the instruments,
audiometers should be delivered
personally 10 the center. Applica-
tions for celebration should be
made In advance.

Are Plain Old Human Beings
Entering Age Of Zerocrucy?

prophesying higher standards of
living for all humanity" Alan E.
Thomas Of Charlotte, general per-
sonnel manager for Southern Bell
Telephone & Telegraph Co. in
North Carolina, said in an ad-
dress here.
Yet" he hastened 10 add,
these trends are double edged.
They have a tendency to Gre
ate whatI call 'zerocracy. 4"

NHNt+ NEAtN AtAAle
To interpret his term zero
cracy, MIR. Thomas told hospital
executives, "As machines grow
more and more important in
huge, bureaucratic complexes,
there is Q tendency for people
to become less and less import
ant, to lose identity, to eqnate
to zero.
And this is the single most
important problem you and face
today as managers, or adminis4
tors.
I'VE face it personally. and ON
behalf Of all those people for
whom we are responsible"
But he wasn't suggesting that
man fight automation.
IF man becomes a zero," he
said. 1T won't be because Of
machines. It viii be because you
and | have failed to successfully
discharge the burden we accept
as decision makers.
In this setting, Mr.. Thomas
proceeded to talk about how to
help plain old human beings get
along in q zerocratic age.
He said people need challenge.
Every day." he said, mil
lions Of Americans perform rou-
timely at work, then return home
where they unleash their crea-
tive energies in a thousand diff
ferent ways.
s0ne becomes an amateur as
trOn0mer, another teaches scout
ing, forestry or junior achieve
rlert. One does beautiful wood
working, another devOurs Ameri-
can history or collects stamps,
guns or coins.
AT work, they're mechanics.
AT home, they're creative artists.
And they create at no salary, Of
ten at considerable expense to
themselves.
The difference is challenge"
Mr.. Thomas conceded that it
isn't easy to make every job u
challenge, but he said it can be
done. He suggested five major
ways in which people can be
challenged to grow.
First, challenge their intellect
BY encouraging continuing educa-
ton.
Second, and contrary to most
m modern textbooks, encourage
risk-taking rather than risk-re-
dIcing. "One Of the great de-
torrents Of growth" !" he said, ''is
the application of restrictive con-
trolls which permit no elbow
room for the exercise Of initiative
and responsibility for pioneer
Ing
Third, teach self-discipline and
challenge hard work.
Fourth, a tough one, challenge
enthusiasm. We're discovering, "
he said, that money doesn't al
ways talk, that men are motivat-
ed by other things, such as self
expression and fulfillmeat. They
must see their work as important
and be able to visualize accomp-
lishnlent.
And, last, challenge love. Here,
he said, the human race has got
1t over machines.
No machine can supply q
warm caress, a compassionate
ear, a loving glance. Eadl Of US
holds the key to that which each
person most desires.
Until man acquires ceEnpas-
sion, he can nsver become fully
developed"
Warning the executives that
they must not permit the human
equation to end up equalling re
ro," Mr.. Thomas said n conclya.
sion, Please don't think Of ys6r-
selves as unimportant people in
an unimportant place discussing
unirnportant topics.
There are no people anywhere
more important than you, no
place more significant, no subject
more vital"
