How should Bank Notes begin the new year With a story of a new we fairly new department Pershyhaps but which one With a story of an old shop with new ideas A service unit known to all the staff and one whose work goes to every office all floors all buildings every day The Print Shop

Never put to bed like a newsshypaper the Print Shop workload is constant changing only with certain seasons from busy to busier Before Annual Meeting time is busiest Another peak looms before the end of the fiscal year

The Print Shop part of the Printshying and Graphics Section of the Office Services Division is supershyvised by Walter Zollinhofer To all the staff he is Shorty well known for his acrimonious humor If ones insult quotient is high with Shorty one can be sure he is held in high regard Shortys Bank employment will reach the twenty-year mark in September this year Mr Zollinhofer is an Amedcan from Riverdale Maryland and is the proud grandshyfather of two boys Bob Gardner is Shortys assistant He has been a staff member for nineteen years all

The Print Sho

spent in Print Shop employment Thirteen nationalities are represhysented in Print Shop personnel pershyhaps the most international of any unit of its size in the Bank

Twenty-three members make up the Print Shop staff including a night shift of four The night shift beshygins in the afternoon at half past two and works until 11 00 pm By havshying a night shift overtime work is lessened and much of the work reshyceived late in the day can be comshypleted for early morning delivery Colin Russell from Jamaica is in charge of the night shift

The workload of the Print Shop is a graphic indication of the growth of the Bank In the vernacular of the shop work is counted as imshypressions and these have grown from eleven mHlion in 1961 to twenty-four million in 1967 Imshypressions are the number of pieces of paper that are printed or mimeoshygraphed Bank reports are usually a combination of processes at least two in most-mimeographing and offset

To help battle the increase in proshyduction and to facilitate printing on both sides of the paper a new mashychine arrived on January 23 It will

11 x17 inches Paper stock used in printing is referred to by its weight It may be nine pound (500 sheets of onion skin measuring 17x22 inches) or it might be 110 pounds if its index card stock (500 sheets measuring 25-12 x 30-12 inches)

Offset is a familiar term to printshyers-an operation which means that the plate does not touch the paper it prints Instead the plate transshyfers its print to a rubber blanket which in tu rn prints the paper

When Print Shop work is disshycussed the recent Indus Report inshyvariably is mentioned It is the largest ever done so far It consists of ten volumes 3600000 impresshysions were printed and collated and it contains fifty-four maps

Collating and Bindery This is the section that cuts punches folds and assembles-very important as the appearance of the finished product depends on the precision of this secshytion Care must be taken not to miss

a page or to have two pages the same-to put the maps and charts in the right sequence The boys say it is not inspiring its boring really But its one of the jobs and every man is trained in all the operations of the unit and takes his turn withshyout complaining

Copy and Print Making Work here is done by a camera but not in the usual photographic sense No human models just maps charts and large tables After the photoshygraph is taken a plate is made for use on one of the offset presses

Copy Machine A Xerox produces copies as requested but the number is limited to ten (Some people can remember when the stock sold for that) Above ten its cheaper to print Last year 1500000 copies were made by the machines in the Pdnt Shop

When moving day comes the Print Shop will transfer to the new building on the 18th Street side still on the first floor Wherever they are the staff knows that the same mountains of work can be depended upon with the same good cheer in unbelievable time 1968 is sure to be a good year

UNICEF cards at Christmastide are very much a part of the World Bank Group The practice of ordering cards through the Staff Relations Office as a convenience to the staff started in 1952 and has continued since then 1967 was a banner year with orders totaling $612

This is not our only association with UNICEF and probably many of the staff are not aware that we make another conshytribution in quite a different way It happens because of a Bank policy which advises staff against accepting gifts from members of countries who are involved in Bank business When a staff member feels that he must accept a gift because refusal is too embarrassing he is expected to pass the gift along to the Administration Department from whence it goes eventually to the auction block The proceeds from these auctions are given to aid the work of UNICEF The last auction sale was held in December 1967 Proceeds from this sale and others held throughout the year amounted to the rather imshypressive sum of $2600 This amount was sent to UNICEF

Henry R Labouisse Executive Director of UNICEF and former IBRD staff member expressed appreciation for UNICEFshy

Thank you very much for the check for $2600 which has reached us with your letter of December 21 as a contribution to UNICEF from members of the staff of the World Bank Group

This contribution is greatly appreciated It was thoughtful that UNICEF should be selected as the beneficiary of the proshyceeds from public auction or private sale of gifts which had reached members of your staff While this contribution will be treated as a private matter between them and UNICEF I hope there will be an opportunity for them to learn how very pleased we are to have their support

11 x17 inches Paper stock used in printing is referred to by its weight It may be nine pound (500 sheets of onion skin measuring 17x22 inches) or it might be 110 pounds if its index card stock (500 sheets measuring 25-12 x 30-12 inches)

Offset is a familiar term to printshyers-an operation which means that the plate does not touch the paper it prints Instead the plate transshyfers its print to a rubber blanket which in tu rn prints the paper

Collating and Bindery This is the section that cuts punches folds and assembles-very important as the appearance of the finished product depends on the precision of this secshytion Care must be taken not to miss

a page or to have two pages the same-to put the maps and charts in the right sequence The boys say it is not inspiring its boring really But its one of the jobs and every man is trained in all the operations of the unit and takes his turn withshyout complaining

Copy and Print Making Work here is done by a camera but not in the usual photographic sense No human models just maps charts and large tables After the photoshygraph is taken a plate is made for use on one of the offset presses

Copy Machine A Xerox produces copies as requested but the number is limited to ten (Some people can remember when the stock sold for that) Above ten its cheaper to print Last year 1500000 copies were made by the machines in the Pdnt Shop

When moving day comes the Print Shop will transfer to the new building on the 18th Street side still on the first floor Wherever they are the staff knows that the same mountains of work can be depended upon with the same good cheer in unbelievable time 1968 is sure to be a good year

UNICEF cards at Christmastide are very much a part of the World Bank Group The practice of ordering cards through the Staff Relations Office as a convenience to the staff started in 1952 and has continued since then 1967 was a banner year with orders totaling $612

This is not our only association with UNICEF and probably many of the staff are not aware that we make another conshytribution in quite a different way It happens because of a Bank policy which advises staff against accepting gifts from members of countries who are involved in Bank business When a staff member feels that he must accept a gift because refusal is too embarrassing he is expected to pass the gift along to the Administration Department from whence it goes eventually to the auction block The proceeds from these auctions are given to aid the work of UNICEF The last auction sale was held in December 1967 Proceeds from this sale and others held throughout the year amounted to the rather imshypressive sum of $2600 This amount was sent to UNICEF

Henry R Labouisse Executive Director of UNICEF and former IBRD staff member expressed appreciation for UNICEFshy

Thank you very much for the check for $2600 which has reached us with your letter of December 21 as a contribution to UNICEF from members of the staff of the World Bank Group

This contribution is greatly appreciated It was thoughtful that UNICEF should be selected as the beneficiary of the proshyceeds from public auction or private sale of gifts which had reached members of your staff While this contribution will be treated as a private matter between them and UNICEF I hope there will be an opportunity for them to learn how very pleased we are to have their support

UNICEF cards at Christmastide are very much a part of the World Bank Group The practice of ordering cards through the Staff Relations Office as a convenience to the staff started in 1952 and has continued since then 1967 was a banner year with orders totaling $612

This is not our only association with UNICEF and probably many of the staff are not aware that we make another conshytribution in quite a different way It happens because of a Bank policy which advises staff against accepting gifts from members of countries who are involved in Bank business When a staff member feels that he must accept a gift because refusal is too embarrassing he is expected to pass the gift along to the Administration Department from whence it goes eventually to the auction block The proceeds from these auctions are given to aid the work of UNICEF The last auction sale was held in December 1967 Proceeds from this sale and others held throughout the year amounted to the rather imshypressive sum of $2600 This amount was sent to UNICEF

Henry R Labouisse Executive Director of UNICEF and former IBRD staff member expressed appreciation for UNICEFshy

Thank you very much for the check for $2600 which has reached us with your letter of December 21 as a contribution to UNICEF from members of the staff of the World Bank Group

This contribution is greatly appreciated It was thoughtful that UNICEF should be selected as the beneficiary of the proshyceeds from public auction or private sale of gifts which had reached members of your staff While this contribution will be treated as a private matter between them and UNICEF I hope there will be an opportunity for them to learn how very pleased we are to have their support

THE STAMP BOX (With assistance from Christopher Memoth and Christian Merat)

The Indus and its five tributary rivers comprise one of the great river systems of the world Its annual flow is twice that of the Nile and sufficient to submerge al l of Texas or France in its entirety under one foot of water Use of the rivers waters descending from the high Himalayas to the plains of West Pakistan and northwestern India had been a source of dispute for many years and especiailly so after the partitioning of the subshycontinent in 1947

Early in 1952 a proposal by the Bank to lend its goon offices in seeking a solution for the use of the Indus waters was accepted by India and Pakistan There followed two years of study by a technical group representing the three parties and some six years of disshycussions and negotiations most of which were carried on at the Banks offices in Washshyington It all culminated in the Indus Water Treaty of 1960 signed by India Pakistan and the Bank on September 19 of that year

Some time prior to that however after it had become apparent that the cost of the project was far beyond the capacity of India and Pakistan the Bank had entered an independent series of negotiations soliciting the financial aid of a number of friendly governments These discussions ended with the Indus Basin Development Fund Agreement under which and including a Bank loan of $80 million India Pakistan Australia Canada Germany New Zealand the United Kingdom and the United States agreed to contribute the equivalent of $894 million to the Development Fund This was supplemented early in 1964 to provide an additional $315 million of which $5854 million was an IDA credit The Bank acts as the Administrator of the Fund with the responsibility for calling-up contributions and regulating disbursements

The Treaty entitled India to the use of the waters of the three eastern rivers Pakistan to that of the three western rivers and provided for a transition period during which Pakishystan would construct a system of link canals to obtain water from the western rivers replacshying water previously supplied by rivers in the east The program is one of the largest of its kind undertaken anywhere [Jack in 1960 the rivers and the hundred-year-old irrigation system supported some forty million people-approximately one tenth of the combined population of the two countries The area of irrigated land was about thirty million acres an area larger than is irrigated in Egypt and the Sudan by the Nile The link canals will be nearly four hundred miles in total length and the annual volume of water to be transferred will just about equal the entire flow of the Colorado River in Western United States Three of the canals will each be big enough to carry twice as much water as the average flow of the Potomac at lVashington cr ten times as much as the average flow of the Thames at Teddington

INDUS BASIN PROJECT

One of the two huge dams in the Project is the Mangla Dam on the Jhelum River One of the largest in the world this dam has a crest of more than two miles a height of 380 feet above the river bed and a reservoir extending forty miles To commemorate the inauguration o f Mangla Dam on November 23 1967 Pakistan issued this fifteen paisa stamp in yellow blue red and black The design shows the spillway with water gushing through the sluice gates and in the background the vast lake merging into the horizon The insignia of WAPDA (the Water and Power Development Authority of West Pakistan formed in 1958 to plan and execute the Project) appears in the upper left corner

Nor is this the end o f the story Opened recently were tenders for the construction of the tremendous Tarbela Dam to be built on the Indus and which will have a storage capacity twice that of Mangla Tarbela is scheduled fo r completion in 1976

Between the Bookends Esme Benjamin reviews THE CAT by Simenon

If you are a Simenon fan you will agree that only nis name could stir up much interest in a book of this title and more so if you read the reviews which al l sum up the book with This is the story of an elderly couple who havent spoken to each other for a number of months because she poisoned his pet (a stray cat) and he in turn killed her pet (a parrot)

However having read Simenon before I knew there must be more to THE CAT than that-and I was right The story is not a mystery by any means but it is fu II of intrigue Its the kind of book that makes one wonder whether the author intended his audience to laugh or to cry

If a book can be described as elegant I would say that Simenon has created elegance of stark simplicity He does this in all his books

C J Martin reviews WHERE EAGLES DARE by Alistair MacLean The blurb says that the novel is a ta ie of deadly darings of double dealings

and treachery British agents are parachuted into Germany to try to rescue from a mountain fastness Lt General Carnaby (a more appropriate name for 1967 than 1943) who had crashed in Germany on his way to a conference on the Second Front in Crete with Russian and other Allies but who in reality was an actor being paid $25000 for an impersonation Finally we find that the leading doube dealer is-youll have to guess

The story is general ly fast-moving Since the attack is in the mountains we are provided with acrobatics on the roofs of cable cars Based on the only time I was marooned in one I would think escapades by spies would be nigh impossible but our hero was successful on the high wires with only one free arm We have savage dogs military police beautiful girls and long chats over brandy between British spies and top German Gestapo officers which is frightfully civdized

I like fiction but I dont see why the facts have to be wrong The pilot makes a comment on landing at Heathrow-not built until long after the war The whole parachute group is rescued by a Mosquito aircraft which never could have stored half of them and the bad man jumps through one of its doors but unfortunately the aircraft was not designed to permit any such maneuver German Intelligence would have been suspicious immediately of any British General flying from England to the Middle East over Germany which was not the normal route Lasty Crete was occupied by the Germans by 1943 and an official Allied conference would have been somewhat difficult to arrange there Even MI 6 should have known that

But if you are not old enough to remember these things or you just dont mind errors it is quite an absorbing novel and I suggest that you read it

I BORROWERS LIKE BANK STAFF

By Bernard Chadenet

One reason why Bank work is attractive is that borrowers are so fond of us and we should admire the effectiveness of Bank recruitment which has assembled in 1818 H Street such a likable group of people As a Frenchman I am particularly impressed with the first-name relationship between my colleagues and minisshyters even though some of the latter have mentioned to me that they find it difficult to conform to this rite

Many years ago an incident enabled me to evaluate how much -or how little-of our popularity is attributable to our personal qualities in the prehistoric time of the DC7 engine trouble caused my flight from Brazil to Peru to terminate in La Paz I thus found myself at dusk on the quay at the port of Guaqui on the Bolivian shore of Lake Titicaca without advance notice to anyone attemptshying to persuade the person in charge of the ship which crosses the lake to Peru overnight to allow me on board The quality of my Spanish the fact that the official was very busy and that his ship was not providing passenger service that night caused a long argument But in the end I was allowed on board albeit very reluctantly

Next morning I was awakened by an elegant maid accompanied by the ships captain in a smart uniform The maid was bringing tea and the captain wanted to extend a warm welcome to me I gradually realized that this friendly gentleman was the same pershyson as the unshaven man in the turtle-neck sweater with whom I had argued the previous evening I also realized that the difshyference between the roughness on the Bolivian shore and the warm hospitality near the Peruvian shore had been caused by the receipt of a cable explaining who I was and what the World Bank was up to But it was pleasant to recover my popularity
